A white teen shot by a white officer for allegedly driving at the officer. The only problem is that the second autopsy contradicts police accounts. What was the victims crime, driving a female friend to buy 2oz of marijuana from an undercover police officer.

If this was indeed a wrongful shooting then the need for everyone, black, brown, white or whatever around the issue of unwarranted use of deadly force by the police make the slogan Alllivesmatter an important and necessary call for action.

Driving at an officer is threatening his life.... the "buying pot" part is irrelevant.

Wait till the facts come out. I hope the dumb media doesn't convict someone in court of opinion like they do alot these days before the facts are out

Although, sometimes laws are broken and nothing is done, and then it's helpful when the media focuses on the situation. It's a double-edged sword.

Has happened in Miami a few times over the previous few years. Similar for auto theft. No charges filled against the police.

I have no sympathy for anyone who breaks the law no matter how minor and then escalates the trivial offense into a situation which can endanger others resulting in their death/wounding by police gunfire. Too bad if it is part of Fight or Flight or fear or adrenalin or etc. They would never be in the situation if they did not agree to take part in the originating offense in the first instance.

The story has been revised as it was only 10 grams of cannabis.

Quote:
Morton, 23, was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana — all 10 grams of it — which, according to police, was the reason undercover agents set up the drug buy.

Where is all the outrage?

Quote:
“The whole issue of race is getting distorted and what’s getting lost is the real issue which is excessive force,” said Bland, the attorney. “All people need to be outraged by this. All people need to be asking the hard questions.”

Why are cops pulling guns for traffic issues. Thought that's what tasers were for.

100% agree. I do think we have a police problem right now. And right now we are letting racist views (those black thugs deserved it) we are ignoring that it is happening very often to many types of people. It is systemic.

But let me clarify how I feel about replacing Black with All. Saying black lives matter isn't saying white lives don't. To quote animal farm: some animals are more equal than others, and we need to acknowledge that.

This video sums it up pretty well, why the 99% should get on board.

WRONG.... We have a people problem
We have a societal problem brought on by crappy politicians who create aspects in our society where people feel disconnected
We have a society where polioticians have created entitlement thinking
We have a society where politicians, certainly obama, have created chaos and division, among all people, utilizing it for their/HIS personal ego or political gain.. or their/HIS sick ideology of changing America. This division demonstrates itself in some of the sick people on this board who post up complete bs..calling for violence against police...
Obama using perfect Alinsky tactics seeks to teach others to blame the system for their own failures

None of this this is the fault of the patrol officer writing you a ticket..or responding to your domestic.. or dealing with your lack of responsibility for your personal behavior
