This is my biggest beef with the media. How does an individual know all the facts and truths about this case without it being manipulated by the media. The media manipulates the news for their own personal agenda and it really ****s everything up. Now I can't really know what the hell happened in this case. I know a black man was shot by a white police officer beyond that I'm not really sure what happened to this bull****.
Look it up yourself, it's a fact. Black males have a greater chance of being murdered by their own than by a cop, it's no secret. Sorry that the truth hurts your feelings.
The OP may have done everything to raise a law abiding citizen, but kids have a habit of doing stupid . Sometimes those stupid acts get them killed by other people. There is no way to understand what someone is thinking when you've lost a child over something that did not have to happen. I refuse to make a judgement of a life that encompasses many years over a couple of minutes of rage over an awful situation.
That was not an example of a kid just "doing stupid". The video clearly showed him as a thief as well as a bully and a thug. That sort of behavior is NOT something that just happens. It is the way a person has been raised. My son has done some stupid things in his almost-22 years, but I can guarantee you that this sort of thuggish mentality is completely foreign to him, and to my nieces and nephews as well. We simply don't have that mindset...we were not raised that way, and we didn't raise our kids that way. When you have a kid, you might have a better understanding of this.
I'm disgusted by some of the things you just said woman, have you lost your damn mind? Nobody body down playing Mike Brown part in this situation but he ran AWAY from the officer. If he had shot once or twice to I could maybe understand. You tell me why he had to shoot all them damn times? That damn cop started with those young men for WALKING IN THE STREET. Shooting him that many times was UNJUSTIFIED and you know it. By the way you're right racist come in all colors but do you know how hard it is for a black person to be a racist being what we've been going thru for over 400years till this day ourselves. Most black would never treat others the way we have been treated for such a LONG time. You need to look up the definition of racism and/or racist and tell what the hell the average black person would get out of being a racist. By the way who started racism? Ask your self that. Also ask your self why is it MOST of the time its black men getting murdered by cops? We hardly ever if ever hear this happening to white kids? You know why because white folks would not tolerate it and somebody would have a price to pay. A black life means nothing in this country and you know it. I'M PISSED
I certainly do not condone the behavior of anyone in the video, it's hard to really judge the mother based on what was going on. I mean she just found out, whether you agree with it or not, that the man that killed her son is going to walk away with no charges. That's a hard thing for anyone to accept whether the person's actions are justified or not. With that said, I think the step father is deplorable and I think neither one of them are helping with this matter by dealing with this publicly. One day, I hope she looks back at this video and regrets her and her husband's actions. They are in no way honoring any individual and are not going to change what happened.
