Michael Brown was a robbery suspect before he was shot to death, police say

Has it been verified that this is indeed Mike Brown?
 
And people like you need to, for once in your life, express some compassion for the fact that a black teenager was gunned down in the street for at the very worst stealing a cigar. I don't get you folks sometimes.

Quit the nonsense. He wasn't "gunned down in the street for at the very worst stealing a cigar" and you know this by now.
 
Wiggen, unless you were there - and unless you witnessed it - you have no more idea why that shooting happened than anyone else does. You're making accusations and you have no evidence. Why don't you just wait until the information comes out, and stop the drama of "he was shot for stealing a cigar" which is nothing but rhetoric.


This is what gets me about these bleeding hearts... They act as if this POlice officer went out of his way to shoot some black kid that day? Like he was planning on it, that nothing would stop him from getting him some bad arse looking black kid. They convince themselves that this could be the only thing that happened, and that the story of the blacks at the scene would be wholesome testimonies to the integrity of the loving son that got shot down in the street. It boggles my mind how incredibly gullible people are. It's like they've never been to the hood or seen ghetto culture up close, and to think that wearing your pants down to your knees, dreads and Tat's up the neck, and unable to form a coherent sentence in English would remind us all that it's really nothing to be concerned or evaluated, no, we only need to condemn the cop that undergoes periodic psychological testing, intense training, and situational awareness because he's the evil PIGS..

Jesus Christ almighty.. Granted, no rush to condemn the kid, but hell, utilizing a modicum of common sense one cannot possibly rush to condemn the cop either, if anything, this would be the last person to blame.


Tim-
 
Does that carry the death penalty in your neck of the woods? Remind me never to visit.

Actually it does carry with it the greatly enhanced possibility of being shot dead, especially when you combine it with fighting with police trying to detain you. You'd have to leave the country for that to not be true, so you better start packing.
 
It seems that if you are black and poor in Ferguson, then you are collateral in the eyes of the local police.

Another gratuitous piece of nonsense. Do you have any data reference to prove that being black and poor in Ferguson has gotten anyone else killed for that reason? Or is this just liberal race baiting at its finest?
 
That's the official 'cop' story, contradicted by the non-cops who were there. Frankly, I wouldn't believe cops when they are defending their own under any circumstances.
:doh
iLOL
Actually the report has not been contradicted.


But since you think it has; Contradicted by his cohort in crime. Who's account clearly comes off as contrived.
And yet you want to believe him. Very odd. The second account is basically a word for word resuscitation of the cohorts claim. :doh Yeah, nothing wrong with that.:doh

And police do not go around executing folks with their hands in the air surrendering. That should have been your fist clue that the cohorts story was fictional.

And no, the cops story is not contradicted at all, as his story has not been released yet. Nor has the report of Brown going for the Officers gun been contradicted.
 
So in other words, you don't give a damn how many unarmed black teenagers are gunned down in the streets for no apparent reason. Such a 'very conservative' position for you to take.


Nonsense. The conservative position on helping blacks in America is to stop helping blacks in America. The Dems have been helping them for over 50 years, and they're worse off today than back 50 years ago.

No one said, or even implied that but you.
 
It's absolutely disgusting that a poster thinks some harm should come to the officer's child. What a ****ed up country we live in.

Good people need some place to wipe their feet, so it's nice to know there are those who could be promoted to the position.

It's not the country; it's the individual.

I guess resisting arrest and trying to fight a police officer and steal his firearm is conveniently not included in your assessment of the situation. I mean, it has already been shown that the side you are taking has major credibility issues. Little evidence exists that this officer has credibility issues. Unless you are privy to evidence that this is a problem officer that none of the rest of us are that is.
 
Normally, stealing a cigar doesn't warrant the death penalty. Even if the cop knew about it, which the Chief of Police denies.

If the cop was going to shoot him for stealing a cigar there probably wouldn't have been any confrontation. A simple shot to the back of the head while driving by would have sufficed.

I'm trying to keep my replies reasonable but the level of ridiculous in this discussion is making that difficult. My Sarcast-o-Meter redlined an hour ago.

OK....one more time....

From all appearances it seems that Brown and his buddy stole some stuff from a convenience store. They were then confronted by a cop, some kind of altercation occurred and Brown ended up dead. That much shouldn't be in dispute but by now, who the hell knows.

The question at hand is how the altercation started. Maybe the cop mouthed off at Brown. Maybe Brown mouthed off at the cop. Maybe the cop pushed Brown with the door of his car. Maybe Brown pushed the car door back into the cop. Maybe Brown punched the cop in the face. Maybe the cop bashed his face getting out of the car. Maybe the cop flipped out and shot Brown for ****s and grins. Maybe Brown rushed the cop and got shot in self defense.

That's a whole lot of maybe's and we don't have much to go on other than "witness" accounts by interested parties from both sides. The sane thing to do under such circumstances would be to chill out and wait until we get some more facts but, apparently, that isn't going to happen because a whole lot of folks have decided to fill in the blanks for themselves and turn a deaf ear to any and all other opinions.

The only real witness to the whole of the events was his accomplice in a strong arm robbery. You reveal yourself in believing the accomplice over all.
 
Thats some ****ed up ****, huh?

Only if you believe in Karma.

BTW, your feigned, hypocritical shock is duly noted.
 
Well, if the cop had a spotless record then let's just give him a medal and be done with it!:lamo

Silly response and you know it. It's turning out that, without lying to yourself, this event won't be the anti-police totem you so desire.
