A handful die in confrontations with cops. Just as in Ferguson, most of those cases are caused not by the cop but by the aggressor. Mike Brown was the aggressor-the witnesses and evidence supports that as a fact. You have your panties twisted because Mike Brown was killed by a cop? Now...conversely...10,000 black people are killed by blacks around the country. A small handful...10,000....and the only time people 'care' iswhen it is by a cop. Hell...you dont even care if it is a righteous shoot...as long as you have something to cry about.
Did Mike Brown have his 'hands up'? Was he pleading 'dont shoot'? Did the cop execute him?
I am far more concerned about government power than I am about gangbangers. Even if it wasn't a "righteous shoot" half of the "libertarians" in this thread would be defending it.
We don't know all of the circumstances or facts about the Brown shooting. I used to think you were smart enough to realize that.
