A Ferguson police officer has been shot in the arm; condition not known

'Target down', their scanner said. But it was referring to the burglary which happened to take place at the same time, not the suspect which shot the officer, who the police are still looking for.

Conclusion:

Event was unrelated to the protests

According to State Department officials it's OK and absolutely democratic, truly peaceful protest.

It was a burglary and obviously unrelated to the protests, in fact there were warnings I saw on news reports about all this where criminals would try taking advantage of the chaos, chavs went and did this during the London riots while the police were busy and wrecked a few businesses.

Don't react to FUD reports that are trying to spread panic.

Different event, I'm not talking about the old protests


No, both events occurred simultaneously

Learn reading comprehension please.

You were referring to a burglary, not the "tense week" which included the shooting of Michael Brown.

Sounds like YOU need reading comprehension skills, since you just contradicted yourself in such an embarrassing manner.

It says it in the bloody article, stop making shit up.

You're the one who brought up the protests, not me.

So you're basically correcting yourself

The Brown family attorney would not realistically know if this is true or now. I think it is outrageous that he is speculating the motives behind a crime before a through investigation is able to be conducted.

Is this America's Arab Spring?   ???  Is Ferguson where it's all going down?!

There's:
1. crooks;
2. good people;
3. police;
4. city government.

If the government is in control of the police, then are the people in control of the government?

If the city can't control the police, somone should shut down the police.

If there aren't any good people left, get the government out and let the people rule themselves (of course, that's government, right?).

The whole idea is for good people to set a government in place that can protect them using the police from the crooks. If this changes for any reason, then it is that there aren't any good people, or the government or police have become crooks.

:)

The anger over the police shooting in Ferguson is totally justified.

Everyday cops kill innocent people for the most retarded of reasons in America and no one is ever held responsible for anything.

Multiple eyewitnesses said Mike Brown had his hands up and he said "Don't shoot" right before they killed him. That is murder.

Also, another thing they haven't mentioned in the media. A big reason new riots have started up in Ferguson lately is because someone torched the Mike Brown memorial that was in the street.

Yep that's right, in the middle of the night someone poured gas on the mike brown memorial and torched it.

Like that's not gonna piss some people off.

I agree. Even though cops are there to protect people and property, it seems like they are often getting out of hand more than the crooks they are there to protect us from. Time to start suing them, human being to human being, using the common law the way Karl Lentz is showing us.

No not really just rioting like rioting for treyvon after the case is over everything will calm down.

Mike Browns co-robbery friend was clearly the most coached lying witness I have ever heard speak.
A little black girl looking out her window did CONFIRM that the big man that was killed and later identified as Mike Brown WAS fighting the cop THROUGH the cops window.  There is NO way that the cop PULLED that big ass 300 pound Mike Brown IN his window to start a fight. 

Why has nobody asked "Where is the evidence of a bullet hole INSIDE the cops car, OR ~not~ in the cops car?"
If the cop car has a bullet hole inside, that proves the cop story and disproves Mike Brown's co-robber friend story.

According to the reliable little black girl witness who was not coached or using vocabulary words that are out of place, she saw a fight through the window.
That means Mike Brown assaulted the cop.  Reasonable to believe given his Robbery and in-your-face guesture caught on video minutes before as he faced off on the shop clerk.

I think the police department fucked up by not explaining why forensics left him in the street for 4 hours, and fucked up by not revealing the bullet hole (or lack of) in the cop car.

Mike Brown is a fat peice of shit giving black men a bad reputation.
He is a TERRIBLE example of a "victim" and they should choose a BETTER case to rally behind.

I am glad someone burned his shrine.
Stupid criminal attacked a shop clerk and then attacked a cop who was going to arrest him for it.
Mike Brown was a big gang banger and died after assaulting a cop.

If you put yourself into a cops window and assault that cop with your fists, you get shot.

HOWEVER

I did hear the recording of the shooting.  And there was a pause in the shots.  I doubt Mike B paused while putting lumps in the cops face though.

Mike Brown is in hell where he belongs.

No it is not justified.  They are destroying their own city because of a black kid who robbed a store (which was also burned down "in protest") decided to get in a physical altercation with the officer.  I've read through tonnes of reports from both arguments, and as far as I'm concerned, the kids got in a fight with the cop. With the way things work these days in the USA, that's likely going to get you shot.

Now the report I read was that a candle was knocked over and it caught the memorial on fire.  Even if it did happen the way you say, what justification is it to shoot at officers and wreck the city even further?

These protesters are acting like animals!

Hands up, don't shoot

We could go back and forth all night.  Either way, where is the justification to loot and destroy the town you live in?

http://commdiginews.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/FerusonRiots.png

As I said, animals.

What kids?  Most of these people are adults with careers and jobs.  Especially nowadays, there's been people all over the country driving to Ferguson with the intent of committing crime.  It's like all those G20 conferences that attract anarchists and criminals from other countries.

You're an ignorant dip-shit.

The cop drove up within feet of Mike Brown and initiated aggressive contact with Mike Brown first. This is what led to the altercation at the window because he drove right up next to him first, and the Cop called him over and was looking for a fight himself. The pig pulled him in, or tried too at least and when Mike dared to resist the poor little piggie got PISSED, and he acted as judge jury and executioner.

So you're willing to believe the eyewitness testimony of the little girl (never heard of her) but what about the testimony of the 2 nearby white construction workers, who both saw the whole thing, claiming that Mike Brown both had his hands up in the air and said "Don't Shoot" right before they gunned him down in cold blood? You can spin that anyway you want with your racist diatribe trying to say he deserved to die, but the truth is that he did not deserve to die. They murdered him in cold blood. He was not a threat, and they killed him anyway. Even if what you say is true and he did punch the cop (doubtful, not proven) he should have been arrested for assault, not gunned down in the street infront of his own family. Cops are supposed to be held to a higher standard, not allowed to kill whoever they feel like simply because they got pissed off. How would you feel if it was your son that got killed by an aggressive out of control cop? All the cop has to do is say he thought your son had a gun on him. And he will get away with killing your child, I guarantee it. And you're perfectly fine with this twisted version of america?

Mike Brown didn't assault the cop. The cop initiated aggressive contact with Mike Brown first and when Mike was like WTF and started running away the cop killed his ass. The only mistake Mike made was when he thought the cop wouldn't kill him, so he turned around and put his hands up. Then he got killed anyway. Because that's what cops in America do. It's no longer protect and serve, it's brutally murder people and get away with it.

Mike was not a gang-banger. You are just judging a person you have never even met. Also, there is no proof that was him at the convenience store and even if it was it has no relation to this case whatsoever.

"I am glad someone burned his shrine"

Wow now that statement really goes to show how ignorant you really are. I hope someone pisses all over your grave :)

The cops in america are out of control. They have an us vs. them mentality and they are getting away with murder every single day. If it takes some rioting to bring this to the national consciousness, so be it.

Rioting is justified when the Cops get away with killing your children on a daily basis. Sure, some of the rioters were just looking to make some $$ but at the same time the anger is completely justified.

America needs some major protests, we're all far too complacent. Well I for one support rioting when the cops kill your fucking family.

It's too late, we should have protested when they were militarizing the police with riot gear

True, but everyone was too busy working their 9-5 and taking SSRI antidepressants. Unfortunate.

You do realize that by doing what they are doing, they are just giving the police more ammo to militarize their police force even further. Brown was no innocent victim in all of this either, no matter what way you look at it.

I do agree that America needs some major protests, but leveling the cities and towns that you live in will accomplish nothing. Then again, I've read there is over 18 million homes sitting empty, many from all the foreclosures when the economy tanked. Guess people can just move on to the next empty city after they destroy the last one.

Oh wow, I didn't realize that you were an eye witness!

So you believe the cop drove up looking for a fight?  Where did you get that information?  From the surviving gang banger that just robbed a store?
The cop punched himself in the face and fired his own gun into the interior of his own cop car?  Wow, that sounds like pre meditated murder to me.

You should totally talk to the media because they are always looking for new eye witnesses like you.

Good luck arguing with that little black girl that saw Mike Brown assaulting the cop through the cops window.

I have never met Mike Brown, nor have you.
But I did see his last video robbing the shop clerk, and I see that he was a gang banger going about his gang banger ways.

HA HA HA, you being an eye witness is funny.
You claiming there is "NO PROOF" that was him at the shop is just FUNNY.

The clerk easily identified him as the same 18 year old 300 pound black kid with the skinny dread lock hair side kick black kid.

How many big tall fat bald young black kids hang out with skinny shorter dread lock hair black kids that both have the same age and same exact clothes?
Oh, and it was walking distance, minutes away from the shooting. 
Same clothes.

You are stupid as fuck.

So killing is ok if it isnt your entire family?
Nobody killed an entire family.

Or

Did you mean that it's only bad when they kill someone who has a family?
Mike Brown had no children.

Of

Did you mean it is bad when they kill someone who has parents?  Because that is everyone.

So when did the cop have time to ask Mike Brown if he had a family while Mike Brown was punching the cop and fighting him?

The cop didnt need to kill him, after the first few shots.

Id like to know how far MB was from the cop when he shot him.
Id like to know if there was blood IN the cop car, or a bullet hole IN the cop car like the cop claims.

MB was fucked anyway after assaulting a cop and robbing a store.
I dont want to pay taxes to pay for his public defender and prison time.
I am glad he died, he was a thug.

I also hope the cop gets shot or charged with murder because I do not think he needed to fire extra shots after pausing.  IF that was real.

You continue to berate Mike Brown as a "gangbanger" then 2 sentences later say that neither you or I met him. So then why do you continue to judge the person despite having not met them?  Cuz every tall/heavyset black guy in the hood has to be a gangbanger right? Congrats, you are an ignorant fuckhead :)

The fact is that the cops lie to save their asses all the time. They kill innocent people and then make up shit or try to say they were a threat, when they clearly weren't all the time.

So why would you blindly believe the cop's story that Mike attacked him (why in his right mind would he fuckin' attack a cop in the middle of the street?) When there were eyewitnesses who said the cop drove up to him within close proximity and immediately began yelling, which initiated the contact. Mike was almost certainly called over to the window, there is no way he just decided to run up to a cop car and punch him in the face. You can twist it around whatever way you want, the fact is that the Cop initiated contact which resulted in Mike Brown's death when he could have just as easily tazed or arrested him.  

Even if it was him at the convenience store it is irrelevant. The only purpose of releasing that video was to make mike brown look bad and make people think that maybe he deserved to die... which seems to have worked somewhat based on your response. And by the way, the convenience store owner said the incident was so insignificant they didn't even call the cops over it, it was a customer that called police. Anyway, so I guess according to you every person that engages in petty theft deserves the death penalty? Oh, and if it's a black person that does it, then they are no doubt a gangbanger. Hah! You fucktard. When that cop killed Mike Brown he didn't even know about the convenience store, so it is irrelevant other than to be used as petty justification for yet another cop murdering someone.

He was planning on going to college, but to you he was just another gangbanger going about his gang banger ways. Despite having just said you never met him. Wow, hypocrite much? You must be such an amazing and enlightened individual to be worthy of judging the life of another and decreeing that they deserved to die at the age of 18 at the hands of an overly aggressive cop.

Haha, just kidding. Go fuck yourself.

Rioting is justified when the cops kill any member of someone's family and then lie, cover it up, blame the victim and then get away with it. Which is what happens in America daily.

There won't be any charges filed against Darren Wilson.  The prosecutor assigned the case talking to the grand jury is biased against blacks, he has a dad that died in the line of duty in a bad neighborhood. He has also been known to defend police brutality even when it was obviously not warranted. This whole thing will be swept under the rug and good old officer darren wilson will get away with it, which is par for the course for police in the USA.

Another thing - the Ferguson PF violated state laws because they did not file a use-of-force report, which is a gross violation of normal police conduct. Everything points to a cover-up and the cops are playing dirty, as usual. Link:

https://news.vice.com/article/ferguson-officials-arent-telling-you-what-happened-to-mike-brown (https://news.vice.com/article/ferguson-officials-arent-telling-you-what-happened-to-mike-brown)

"I'm glad he died, he was a thug."

You should see a therapist. Taking joy in the deaths of unarmed teenagers is not normal mental behavior.

They are doing some damage but not really leveling their entire town. Nothing will change IMO if no-one does anything. I will agree that long term sustained rioting is not useful and that the riots should turn into sustained peaceful protests on a large scale that bring the issue to the forefront of our national consciousness. I think what happened in Ferguson needed to happen, if there was no rioting no-one would even know about Mike Brown. It is time the country dealt with the issues of over-militarization of police and the fact they are apparently above the law. People are sick and tired of this bullshit and people deserve to be very, very angry over all the needless police killing.

Yeah, leveling the town is an exaggeration. at the end of the day though, they're damaging businesses that had nothing to do with what happened.  I really hope they all had insurance, because a lot of people's lives could be ruined.  The one that really stuck out to me was the destruction of the store where he stole from.  What did that guy ever do wrong? His business could be ruined for good.

One of the big issues I see with all of this is the whole black/white debate.  All it does it split the people, everyone needs to get on the same page. No where near as much outcry with this shooting: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/3/justice-dillon-taylor-after-white-utah-man-fatally/  (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/3/justice-dillon-taylor-after-white-utah-man-fatally/). Just read a few of the comments, now I know it's the internet, but until people learn to get along, the police and government will continue to push their agenda.

As you say, the right thing to do is a large peaceful protest, only then will the masses come together.  Of course the police will continue to poke the bear though for a reaction, and they're getting it.  People need to take a deep breath and calm down.  We all know that breaking shit doesn't work. Most people just look at you like an idiot.

The shooting hit news up in Canada pretty fast, then again, I follow a lot of media that isn't considered mainstream. So not really sure if the rioting was necessary.

Not really sure how to tackle the over militarization of the police force down there.  I know a lot of Americans are arming themselves with as much as they can, but is it really the answer? If it gets bad enough, I imagine they will just send in the military, then things will get interesting.

Mike Brown is a gang banger, that is on video.  That video you stupidly claim isnt him.
It is on VIDEO.  You cannot dispute that when he is caught on tape.
It is easy to judge him by his actions on TAPE, and his blood on the cop's uniform and in the cop car.  Oh how did that happen?  Hmmm.

Are you attempting to twist the focus away from Mike Browns guilt?
That is Mike Brown in the video, everybody knows that.  Everybody but you.
The shop owner has identified Mike Brown as the man that robbed him.  IT is also Mike Brown in the video.  Are you blind?

Why does the black community choose that thug to put on a platform and march behind?
He is already proven a thug but video evidence.

Cops do lie, and cops can go to hell too.
But you need to stop lying to yourself.
Black witnesses confrimed that he assaulted the cop.
His Blood in the interior of the cop car, on cops uniform, and witnesses confirm that Mike Brown attacked the cop.
But you choose to believe that he had his hands up, said "dont shoot" and was shot in the back.
His friend is the worst liar ever interviewed.  ONLY his friend claims "dont shoot", and that he was shot in the back.
We all know he was NOT shot in the back.

Yes cops kill people.
This killing was 100% justified.
Google and find an INNOCENT man that was killed to protest about.
Because Mike Brown has all of the evidence going against him.
You need to protest about someone else, because it is a lost cause defending a guilty gang banger.

The video was released to demonstrate the motives of Mike Brown for attacking a cop, because Mike Brown attempted to attack the cop to get away with his robbery.
He knew he robbed the store, just as we know, and when a cop drove up to him the second time, he correctly assumed it was regarding the robbery and he was about to be arrested.
He did not want to be stopped in the store, and threatened violence.
He did not want to be stopped by the cop, and reacted with violence.

The video shows Mike Browns state of mind, and level of violent behavior, as well as his desperation.
In addition to the video, you have DNA evidence, of blood, and the autopsy report showing where and how he was shot.
Not shot in the back, and not shot while leaving.
The gun went off in the cop car as evidence shows.
His dreadlocked robbery friend said he was shot in the back (dis proven), had his hands up (disproven), and that all shots happened OUT-side of the car.  Also dis proven. But just listen to how he talks and you know he is a coatched witness with weak lies.

Why do you so blindly believe that is NOT him in the shop video?
Why do you so blindly believe that the COP was the violent person?
Why do you so blindly believe that Mike Brown was "almost certainly" called over to the window?
"Almost certainly" are you fucking joking?
It is "almost certain" to you because you REFUSE to believe that :
1)  It is Mike Brown in the video being violent.
2)  His friend lied about him being shot in the back, hands up, "dont shoot" and him running from the cop.
3)  Witnesses said Mike Brown charged the cop and attacked the cop through the window.  A Black girl said that.
4)  Mike Brown's blood on the cop, in the cop car, on the cops gun.
Do you believe that all the evidence is fake, in a cover up conspiracy by multiple departments all to defend one cop?
Or do you think that Mike Brown was inside the cops window when the gun went off?

If anyone is inside my car window, you best believe their blood will be spilt in my car and on my gun!
Black or white or yellow, or orange!

Get your facts straight.
The cop DID know about the convenience store robbery when he saw the two kids that fit the description, he went BACK to them a second time.
That is when Mike Brown attacked him to avoid questioning or arrest and shit happened.

I cannot argue with you because you ignore evidence and you dont even know ANY of the stories other than the fake BS from the dread locked kid.

Try watching the news.

Citizen didn't have his hands up, so the fascists shot him.

Do you see the message in saying his shooting is justified? I will never side with the government. Ever.

http://www.policestateusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/aiyana-stanley-jones-11.jpg
^ gangbanger

http://www.policestateusa.com/2014/aiyana-stanley-jones-raid/

That doesnt look like a gangbanger photo to me.
Sounds like the police fucked up, and should be charged with the death penalty for this.
Too bad the stupid rioters in Ferguson choose Mike Brown to march on, rather than this innocent little girl.

So the message will be lost because they are marching over Mike Brown, who attacked a cop and did actually deserve to die.

"The district attorney’s office did not find the officer’s story credible and charged him with felony involuntary manslaughter and careless discharge of a firearm causing death."

His first trial was a mistrial.
His second trial was a mistrial.
The fucking cop got away with it.

What are you bitches going to do about Officer Joseph Weekley?  Not a god damn thing because you're just a bunch of racist or stupid internet trolls!

Little girl was innocent.
Michael Brown was not innocent.

Step up or shut the fuck up.

Again

Unarmed citizen didn't have his hands up, so murdering him was justified

Read between the lines. What is the message they're giving you?

I don't care if he did "assualt" a cop or if his hands were up or how many convenience stores he robbed... once the individual is not actively attacking you, you have NO LEGAL GROUNDS for use of lethal force. Consider it in the context of a civilian. Would a legal gun owner be able to shoot a fleeing perpetrator who assaulted him and not end up in jail? ... No he would end up in a cage regardless of what the suspect did. Police have no additional rights above any other citizen regardless of how much they think they do.

This.

No matter how many times you call him a thug or a gangbanger, it still doesn't mean the cop had the right to execute a man just because he was pissed off.

Mike Brown was 20 feet away from the officer when he was murdered by the pig.

The theory that he was charging him is bullshit, it makes no sense. It is a lie perpetrated by the police.

The poor little pissed off pig decided he was pissed enough that it warranted an execution, period.

And police state America is gonna back him up because it is the status quo. If the cops want to kill you, they will, and then they will lie to make it seem justifiable.

But it seems most people are perfectly okay with this. How pathetic.

You're an idiot.

Just because a different cop got away with killing someone else doesn't mean we shouldn't be protesting over Mike Brown.

The people in that town should have protested like they did in Ferguson over the little girl's death. But they didn't. Probably because they don't have the means, or the manpower, or whatever. In ferguson, it's different.

This is true however there is evidence to suggest that Brown was still actively attacking the police officer when he was shot. He may have been in-between punches however there is evidence that he was shot at very close range and that he may have been reaching for the officer's gun

bullshit, there were about 100 witnesses.

Only guy who gets it

100 witnesses?
One Hundred?
Can you name 5? or 10?  No.

Blood on the officers clothes, and INside his car from Mike Brown.
What was Mike Brown doing IN the cops window?
Little Black girl witness said that the large black man (who was killed and later IDed as Mike Brown) went up and started the scuffle with the cop through the cops window.
Later blood was found inside the cop's car.

I do not like cops, but this shows M.B. attacked a cop and was killed for it.
Evidence supports that.

There is not 100 witnesses.
Calm down and stop saying things that are massively untrue.

20 feet away from the officer?
You never heard that his blood was IN the cops car an ON the cops clothes?

So did his blood fly 20 feet?
Or did he get shot IN the car, run away, and then turn around again?  (Because he was never shot in the back)

You continue to impress me with you ignorance.

The little girl is a GOOD case for cop abuse about a cop killing someone illegally.

Mike Brown is a BAD case for cop abuse because the cop killed MB in self defense.
You failed to read the news.

You aren't looking very hard.

Forensics recently leaked by the Feds show shots were, in fact, fired inside the police cruiser where Michael Brown first attempted to murder the officer.
Also, 6 African American eye witnesses have come forward and admit Michael Brown was in the midst of bull rushing the officer when the fatal shots were fired. As a longtime resident of Ferguson (and lifelong resident of St. Louis), I am not looking forward to the (almost certain) rioting and looting that will commence as soon as the Grand Jury, in Clayton, votes to not file charges against the officer.

I feel bad for you bud, I get the feeling that this could make the LA riots over Rodney King look tame in comparison. Unfortunately, the Rodney King riot was somewhat justified. This one when it happens, not so much.

I hope it isn't that bad, but will be prepared for the worst. I plan on keeping my baby home from Pre-school for a few days, at a minimum, and staying inside no matter what I hear. Being self-employed (insurance sales), I have no problems working from home. I do worry about my wife being a very head-strong individual that I may be unable to convince to stay home from work.

Dozens of people died in the LA riots. It won't be that bad. But there will be looting and another quiktrip might get burned down.

I don't think anyone will be killed, though. The two really are not comparable.

Ferguson PD Caught Lying Again – Michael Brown’s Autopsy Condemns Officer Wilson (VIDEO)

Ferguson PD Caught Lying Again – Michael Brown’s Autopsy Condemns Officer Wilson (VIDEO)
Author: Nathaniel Downes October 26, 2014 12:15 am

If you listened to the media reports this past week, it would appear that evidence had come forward to exonerate Officer Darren Wilson in the death of teen Michael Brown in August. It began when the St. Louis Dispatch ran an article titled “Official autopsy shows Michael Brown had close-range wound to his hand, marijuana in system” and quickly propagated throughout the net. If you read it, or the articles based on it, the impression was that the coroner who handled the autopsy had found that Michael Brown had attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun, and in so doing the officer was justified in the use of force which resulted in Michael’s death. They even included quotes from a forensics expert, Dr, Judy Melinek, which appeared to indicate familiarity with the case, and justification of the teens untimely death.

Problem is, the autopsy report says nothing of the sort.

Instead, the story as put down in the report damns Officer Wilson. In the report, the evidence fit with Officer Wilson having unholstered his weapon and discharge it, still in the car, against an unarmed teen. It did find that Michael Brown had been exposed to cannabis at least 24 hours earlier, based on his blood and urine toxicology. The amount found, 12 nanograms of delta-9-thc in his blood along with over 150 nanograms of 11-Nor-Delta-9-THC-cooh, at his BMI of over 34, denoted someone who had smoked two cannabis blunts the day before, and at least 4 more over the prior week. Not exactly someone who was a hard core drug offender. But it was above the point of impairment for driving. Thankfully, Michael Brown was walking that day.

Now, many news sites ran with the claim that Michael Brown reached for officer Wilson’s gun. But the autopsy report tells a very different story. The only shot which indicated it was close to Officer Wilson, by having a powder burn or residue, was a burn on the inside of Michael Brown’s thumb, along with a bullet graze, which ran straight down the inside, across his thumbprint. Visualize just a moment, a bullet, in close proximity, so close that it could burn your thumb just below the knuckle, with the bullet heading straight out, away from the hand. A bullet coming out of a barrel likely touching the thumb at the knuckle joint, based on the description.

A thumb attached to a hand which had to be underneath the gun, pushing it upward, for the bullet to travel along that path.

So many statist sheep, you murder apologists are the reason why the police are allowed to have military gear to use as "civilian control"

If I bore what the police in the city do, I'd be arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism, then detained indefinitely thanks to Obama's indefinite detention act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012)

Oh now he is an attempted murderer now too? The story about him grabbing a gun isn't enough, now he was a bloodthirsty murderer hopped up on the reefers? The narrative of the cop rolling up and grabbing this kid and trying to pull him into the window makes a lot more sense to me than him trying to grab the cops gun. I know kids get bold now days, but they had to know this would be a death sentence to try something like this. I don't buy that narrative. Perhaps he was resisting arrest, still no grounds for summary execution. You are so busy defending the police that you don't realize THEY are the ones putting you in danger by inciting much of the civilian population, much of them law abiding, with tremendous amounts of abuse.

Not now...he's dead now.
....
The police put their own lives on the line to protect us. I believe they (as a whole) deserve respect for that.

It was a little over the top, yep, but considering how he acted up in the robbery before this happen, then I won't rule that out. M. Brown was not a kid anyway and no police officer do something like that stupid...

Besides, Stefan Molyneux got some courtroom info on the events leading to Brown death and if 7 black persons (on the condition of anonymity for fear or being lynched) backed up the police officer story:

...then I would say - case closed. There is no way they can make all that up and it is consistent with the autopsy results.



PS. in most cases I believe that police officers should be shot for what they do. In this case, I say - killing this guy was justified. Not in these examples:

Our police force is not a single entity but a group of powerful individuals. This power can be abused. You have to observe them case by case. The way the authorities deal with Ferguson currently may not be the best one.

you should change the title of this thread to; "Police officer just shot (an innocent citizen in the back) in any american city or town you can name". much more accurate than the original.

Police have ZERO obligation to protect you. This has been proven in court. They DEMAND respect, they don't earn it. They are little more than revenue collection agents for local, state, and federal governments. It has become the norm for them to abuse their power and it gets worse every day. It is never going to stop until people like you pull your head out of your asses and stop being such apologists. If the police were doing such good work THEY WOULDN'T NEED DEFENDING FROM YOU.

They take an oath to protect us. We are fortunate to have them.

An oath to protect us? Well, maybe the ones who actually lock up murderers. Hint: They are a minority.

But most of them merely exist to enforce the will of the prison industrial complex.

How fortunate for us to have the boys in blue to shove a nightstick up your ass whenever they feel like it.

Then plant drugs on you if you have the audacity to complain.

There is no such oath to protect or serve

Their only oath is to uphold the constitution, which they don't really do (Driver's license checkpoints are an impediment to our Fourth Amendment Rights)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia)

In conclusion, they're a useless waste of taxpayer dollars.

^ this. A police officer can sit and drink his coffee and eat a donut while you are raped and murdered right in front of him and he will have zero repercussion under criminal law. There is no obligation for them to protect you in any way.

They willingly put their lives on the line every day, never knowing when some violent thug is going to attack them just 'cause he ran out of iced cream and was in a bad mood.
We're are a lucky society to have these heros around, protecting us.

If that was satire, you're doing it right

All taxes are satire.

Hold on, is your name "tins" as in TINS (http://www.thisisnotsatire.org/TINS)?

Police officers do put their life on the line every day. Without the police and law enforcement then there would be very little that would stop people from committing crimes against you and your family.

The issue with many police forces is that they are poorly trained (do not know enough of the law), and have bad policies in place

If there would be no police a neighbourhood would form their own security group and system. Nobody wants their things stolen, police or not.

All the firearms in my safe say different. 

Aw man! You totally foiled my super secret attempt to retrieve your password!
