The killing of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri, was no anomaly: As we reported yesterday, Brown is one of at least four unarmed black men who died at the hands of police in the last month alone. There are many more cases from years past. As Jeffrey Mittman, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Missouri chapter put it in a statement of condolence to Brown's family, "Unarmed African-American men are shot and killed by police at an alarming rate. This pattern must stop."

There's no conclusive proof that Brown robbed the store. The video is sketchy.

The video is not sketchy. Two huge kids wearing the same clothes within minutes of each other that a cop happens to confront in the same place? Yeah, that's just a weird coincidence.

Young black men commit crimes at an incredibly alarming rate. Maybe that's the real problem here?

What an arrogant thing to say. As you parade yourself before DP daily as a mindless tool for the GOP. There are people in Ferguson genuinely concerned about a growing problem in America.

Oh, so the citizens of Ferguson are rioting and protesting every single incident of a policeman shooting an unarmed man, ever, in the history of this country. Of course.

I actually think you believe that.

And the apparent reason that you don't is that you haven't listened to any of them, or read what they're posting on line. Because your mind is made up that this was a justified killing in self defence, but well need to see what a GJ thinks, they won't be presented with just the one side that you're listening to.

You see, it's NOT a growing problem. You desperately want that to be the case, but it's just not. The problem is with an increasing crime problem among young black men. THAT is the epidemic here, but you aren't interested in the real truth.

lol. I know a dude who is over 250 and I move him where I want to move him when we spar. One speedy hand into his face and he leans back. After that one gut punch and he leans forward. After that one neck grab and hes freaking out trying to peel me off him. Its actually much, much harder for me to manhandle my partner that is 150 than it is the slower big dude.

Yea sure.

Then he's either letting you or he's a p****. Its that simple.

I've never been "slow" and Ive never been pushed around by anyone let alone a smaller " faster " guy. Size and strength matter unless your " playing " slap fight with your buddies.

Little guys are funny. Its the Napoleon syndrome I guess. All talk but when it comes down to a real confrontation they're p******.

You grab a man by his spine and he will bend until he gets you off him. Its that simple. You think you can hold a 200 pound man up with your neck muscles alone? It hurts. You bend. Its natural. Have you not seen little men bend a bull by the horns?

Do NOT put words in my fingers that were never there and never here. I said - unlike you - that I am waiting for the facts to come out. You, on the other hand, are not.

This happened last Saturday. Protests began over public outrage over yet another unarmed young man being KILLED by a police officer. Before any press or non residents showed up. Nobody thinks all police are corrupt. But 40% of the protesters are white. This is public outrage, not just black public outrage.
Click to expand...
It doesn't matter what day the media showed their lynch mob mentality and who says gang members are all black? And how many of these folks out there protesting are getting their information from the Huffo Puffo where the police officer has been found guilty before the investigation is completed ? Something else, gangs are well organized these days on social media.

Back at ya, getting the story straight is important.

But if you want, you can just assume the cop is guilty simply because Michael Brown is black. That's very reasonable.

if you arrest a journalist improperly, you can be liable for constitutional rights torts under 42 USC 1983. That seems to be the proper response to an IMPROPER arrest

Ok, don't like your own being used back on you! By all means, the topic. Cop shoots unarmed man, public is outraged and you side with the police, who are also shall we say, less then co-operative with the press.

the press is a HUGE part of the problem in this case....same as the Trayvon case

investigations take time....but editors want copy, and footage

reporters are under pressure to get "something" for the 24/7 news cycle

releasing any information was stupid imo....

other than the fact that an 18 yr old black man was shot to death by a cop

further details to follow when the investigation is over....that would have been my entire report given to the press

let them speculate....theorize....

the whole idea is to complete the investigation, and to get it RIGHT

not to comply with what the press and the citizenry want

Very early on, I heard it reported that there was one shot taken/bullet found in the car. This, to me, seems to provide credence to the officer's account that Brown was outside the car and in a struggle with the officer in the car for possession of the officer's gun. It's quite possible, in my view, that a number of the bullet wounds Brown suffered in his right arm/hand are also consistent with a struggle for the gun and multiple shots being fired during that struggle. Finally, when Brown lost control he ran, the officer got out of his car and told him to stop, he was under arrest, and Brown turned and headed back at the officer. If I was the officer, just having survived with my life after a struggle with this man, any threatening action by Brown would be met with deadly force, thus the two shots to the head.

This is conjecture and speculation - it seems far more rational and possible than the suggestions being made here and elsewhere that Brown was targeted and murdered simply because he was black.

I think that is a realistic assessment, however, we should keep in mind that there are other possible scenarios. But, keeping in mind that Michael Brown knew that he has just committed a robbery, I imagine his reaction to the cop was defensive at the very least. Whether the Cop knew he had committed a crime or not is irrelevant, Michael Brown knew he had, and he didn't know the cop didn't know he had.

Re: Private autopsy reportedly reveals Ferguson teen shot six times;police use [W:302

Why would he run from the gun. Then turn around and run back at the gun? I think its most likely the cop tried to punk him. Pulled him by his neck with a hand hook around his neck. Brown punched the cop and ran. The cop shot at Brown from the car (and it most likely missed). Brown became scared of the gunshots, stop and surrendered. Laying down as his friend, the witness described and then the cop hit him with bullets. Which explains how a bullet could go down through his head and into his collar bone. No one runs with their head straight down facing the ground and hunched over like a hunch back. To make the collar bone and eye socket line up you would have to be laying down. Go ahead and try it. Lean over and bend your head until your eye socket and collar bone run parrallel to the ground. Good luck running like that.

Clearly it was the marijuana that made him go berserk! Haven't you ever watched Reefer Madness?
