It is disgusting to watch black people be sick and tired of having their young men slaughtered by police on the daily?
They have every right to protest. This police-on-black vigilante bull**** has got to stop.
2 wrongs don't make a right. It is NOT acceptable to harm innocent people or destroy the property of those who had nothing to do with the situation! Protesting is one thing. Rioting is another!
If brown would have just not grabbed for the gun. If it is fact then the cop felt that his life was in danger and that is legally justifiable in the court of law. Color doesn't matter.
If we're going to go with the cops version of events as true for this hypothetical we still have the problem Brown did not successfully get the gun and then fled (i.e. disengaged hostile action) when the cop used lethal force on an unarmed fleeing suspect.
My point is there is a big legal hurdle here for justification of shooting someone in the back, cop or not. IIRC courts have traditionally sided against the shooter in these cases.
I carry a gun all the time; it pays to have a rough understanding of the responsibilities and ramifications of the life and death power that entails, and I'm a mere civvie.
that would be nice.
Funny thing is the media made Travon Martin into such an upstanding citizen that the POS and members of congress exclaimed "If I had a son, he would look like Travon".
sad.

I mean here's a white man getting killed on video for nothing yet no one said a word or rioted or looted anything about it. All the evidence is on VIDEO and there were still no charges:
Here in Florida just as many whites get killed by cops as blacks(probably a lot more whites actually) but it only seems to spark ANY kind of outrage when the victim is black. Even on social media and everything you'll see plenty of white or cuban chicks angry about the injustice that was done to the black boy/man that was killed while ignoring that white men were killed by cops the same day with less reason. Crazy how it always works out like that but it's probably because blacks care more about their group than anyone else and will ALWAYS voice their opinion loudly so others get caught up and brainwashed by it along the way and some get violent. It never fails. Plus all the rappers talk about it and every black celebrity voices their opinion and anger so that sways people too. As a group blacks are the only ones that "stand up" for their race. Sure you'll have individual whites willing to risk their lives , fight cops, etc but as a group blacks are the only ones that'll loot a store, smash windows, etc, flash mobs, get in groups of 50 and attack people at state fairs etc..the only ones that "fight for their race" the way they see it. When whites or other races get killed by cops it gets forgotten but when ONE black anywhere gets killed by one they'll make sure everyone hears about it.
Same with the Trayvon and Jordan Davis cases. Black people, celebrities, rappers, etc. made sure that EVERYONE IN AMERICA heard about those people that lost their life. But in reality far more whites are randomly targeted and murdered by blacks than vice verse but the average person doesn't know that cus all they hear is the angry black voices through the media.
Rioting, Destruction of Property, Stealing, hurting other people
When blacks become jury and judge and deem without hearing all facts do they condone rioting, destruction of property and stealing from people who had nothing to do with the original incident? Do people question if they are getting biased information or do they think everything they are told?
Why is it that the NAACP don't speak out against these actions, do they condone rioting, destruction of property, stealing, hurting other people?

Rioting, destroying property and stealing isn't justified or legal. Will you riot when those charges are pressed or are you going to claim that destroying and stealing other peoples property is justified?

Agreed.
But it got the public's attention about the issue. Otherwise it would've been pushed to the back page.
