Now given you are getting all high and mighty bandying around terms like defamation, you going to go calling him a liar?

EDIT 2: Looks like my Edit window timed out. I meant to also update this line as follows:
Neither the original DallasNews article nor the TechCrunch article
makes any such assertion about the officer's use of his surname.
I'm not going to call him a liar, because that presumes malice. He was wrong and irresponsible in his defaming statement.EDIT 3: One last time for clarity, the kid felt his name to be relevant (which still does not mean his name was in fact relevant), but did not assert that the "police made repeated mention of his surname", which, apart from the mischaracterizations, was specifically what I was refuting.
I could have done better however, so in that spirit, here's First Dog on the Moon's take on the event - http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2015/sep/18...
Not surprisingly, consistent with your weak intellectual arguments and preceding dishonesty, your comic forwards bigotry and ignorance while ignoring every meaningfully accurate portrayal of the truth.
You're a mouthpiece for hatred and ignorance.
