Of course it will be irrelevant if it's proven that the suspect had pointed a gun at the officer. It was a white cop and a black person shot and that's all they need to know.......

I'm pretty sure he's mother will be on tv saying how her son was an angel and would never hurt anybody.

obviously there is a lot of distrust, it doesn't take a brain child to know that: the fact still remains, draw a gun on a cop; get shot, get killed, white, black or red, it makes no difference. No one in his right mind could question what the cop did. We are not talking Stanton Island right now, or even what happened to Michael Brown, we are talking about a lethal weapon.

The Black men who sag their pants and run out of their responsibilities keep doing so despite a fellow Black man telling them to do the right thing. In short, there is nothing you can do to stop criminals of any race from getting a firearm. And criminals don't have to use firearms to kill. Bats, automobiles, molotov cocktails, kitchen knives, criminals of any race figure a way around things. Only thing it would do is start a mafia-like weapons trade. Don't believe me? Look at the drug trade.
It's the only way to save America's Black Sons and prevent the annihilation of the American Black.

Save a Black Son, take his gun.

Hands up, don't shoot.

Save a Black Son, take his gun.

Hands up, don't shoot.

The Obama administration via Holder will get to the bottom of it, with Sharpton's guidance of course.

It takes hours to process the crime scene and get the coroner out to get the body.

Could be he was dead when he hit the ground and no ambulance was needed. We can only speculate this point.

Or shot him in the foot, or used pepper spray or tasered him.

Belmar declined to release his name at the news conference but said he had a criminal record, with charges including three assaults, armed robbery, armed criminal action and multiple uses of weapons since he was 17.

She's already said this:

"She said Martin was on his way to meet his girlfriend when the fatal encounter happened and that he was not carrying a gun. "He only just left the house to go see her," she said."

Maybe some parents should have a policy of stop, frisk, and follow.
