yeah, I am sure most residents aren't assholes, looters, anarchists and other scum. and its usually innocent people who get hurt when the scum riot. The best thing that can happen is that the legitimate protestors can protest peacefully and the looters get 556 lobotomies or 9mm colonoscopies

Agreed. Most of the people, like anywhere really, are normal nice people that want to have a nice family and enjoy life. I don't know anything about Hogwash but he sounds like a racist.
 
Reverse Racism... those people are like a bunch of roaches. As soon as the light goes off, they're back. The cops may as well withdraw and let Ferguson become nothing but a bad memory. Burn the son of a bitch to the ground, roaches.

I have to add that this sounds slightly racist...

EDIT: Racist rhetoric confirmed.

The fact is a police officer is in a no win situation in these types of cases......The left are ready to murder this police officer and they have not even heard his version how the incident went down. Talk about a kangaroo court.

That is a misnomer... Aussies do not allow kangaroos into their court.

maybe so maybe not. the fact is almost all of the crime being committed NOW in that area is perpetrated by black thugs.

I agree with that. The racist sounding part is that he describes residents of Ferguson as "people are like a bunch of roaches. As soon as the light goes off, they're back. " and that the answer is to, "Burn the son of a bitch to the ground, roaches." Actually... I am now confirming that he is a racist. FACT.

yeah the everyone in the place is a roach is just plain stupid

the Kill em all God will sort them out nonsense is pretty lame

I believe in discrimination--you should only shoot those who deserve it and protect the innocent
 
Here we go again. It seems that we will never be able to get away from playing the victim card. I could write pages and pages on why the black community can no longer legitimatly play the victim card but I will spare my fingers and my brain the effort. It's late and I am tired. All I will say is there has got to come a time where playing victim is no longer a legitimate defense to defending a violent culture.

They're hardly a violent culture bro. I give you a tour of the St. Pete ghetto and you'll meet nothing but nice folk

:shock: ****, dude.
 
More than anything else it's about tribalism, an innate attribute of human behavior. It's about other things too but mostly tribalism.

Tribalism, culture, religion, politics are just ways for people to group together for common causes. The resources they're fighting for are often the main goals, regardless of their stated ethics or cries for justice.
 
From the known limited evidence, the shooting was justified.

Brown attacked an Officer while he was still in his vehicle and tried to take his gun. That is a life threatening situation.
The Officer received injuries to his face that required hospitalization from this attack.
Then as it escalated, Brown already having shown he was violent, progressed towards the Officer. The hearsay evidence puts that progression as a charge.
In such cases, of course use of his firearm is appropriate and justified.

Could you explain where you go this so called evidence?
 
We'll have to wait for more info and the cops story, but the wounds support a narrative of the cop trying to slow him down by shooting him in the arm and finally shooting him in the head after he kept coming. I think we can safely assume that the shot to the head would have dropped him so the shots to his arm were the first shots.

What? If somebody shot me in the arm, I would run faster in the other direction. I would run towards the person shooting me.
 
Wasn't he unarmed? How could he have been threatening the cop's life???

If Brown is found to have been guilty of threatening the cop's life, or some other transgression that led to a legitimate shooting...how can this be about any of the poll choices?

The rioting may be but not the actual event....we have no idea what the facts are yet.
 
Does it matter? You can always call her one when you can't otherwise make a cogent argument, you've demonstrated that ability.

I don't call people racists. I let their words speak for themselves. You save a lot of penalty points that way.
 
Depends on what you were shot with, what you were wearing, how big you were and what your state of mind was including drugs in your system. Me, I would run like a little girl if even whinged by a bb gun - but thats me - i'm a lover not a fighter.

He shoot him once in head but the police man thought the kid was still still moving, so he shoot him twice in head ...... and than he shoot 4 times just to be sure the kid won't move.


How in hell can it be "appropriate and justified."
 
not saying it was or wasnt justified yet

i dont know

conflicting reports keep coming out

eyewitness accounts dont match up to the forensic evidence we do know about

eventually we will get all the facts....not conjecture....not wild ass guesses....and not hypotheses

once we have the facts, it "should" be ascertainable on whether or not it was a good shooting

or at least we all hope that is the case....

or we can have another "trayvon" case where two sides continually see it differently

and a jury needs 12/12 to convict

If he had only shot him once with a bullet that resulted in death, would it have been justified and appropriate? Is it just that there were multiple shots that make it inappropriate and non-justified??
 
Yeah that's BS.

My limited understanding of that drug makes me think it would have made him calm, thus less likely to get in a confrontation with police. Plus it stays in the system awhile, so saying "he had marijuana in his system" might mean he smoked it a few days or a week ago?

Basically a meaningless datum.

Did I need to post a sarcasm smilie? I thought the statement was snarky enough to avoid this kind of return volley.
 
It's about different issues, such as lack of economic opportunity, etc.
 
Wasn't he unarmed? How could he have been threatening the cop's life???

In lots of ways... he was a big guy and that would be enough but he could have also been going for the cops gun.

Precisely. The amount of blind deference so many here are willing to give to the police is disturbing. Couple that with the war-like response of the department and it is even more disturbing.

1.) Because what you cite isn't true.
2.) Because it was justified in accordance with the known evidence.

Learn the evidence.

Don't ruin his imagery of a straight up execution! :lol:
