Wow, just wow.

I am white, and I am outraged by the Michael Brown shooting. The police cannot be allowed to go around shooting unarmed people who have surrendered. There are 4 witnesses whose statements corroborate each other. One of them told the police what she saw seconds after the shooting, she was in one of the cars on the road. How likely is it that all 4 would basically concoct the same version of lies? Why would they lie?

It's rare to have this many witnesses to a shooting as well as most likely an audio recording of the gunshots.

Ten gunshots! With a pause in the middle. Of an unarmed teen who was at last 25 feet away from the cop. How could that be justified? Answer: there is no scenario under which that is justified.

Looked to me like he was helping the clerk adjust his neck by grabbing it and shaking him around. Doing the lord's work, I say.

Do you have any evidence?
I do not need any evidence.

Like I said.....we all will just have to wait.

Is EVERYTHING with you a Lib verses Cons issue?
That's odd, because everyone I know thinks this cop screwed up, shot an innocent teen for walking in the street, and should at least be indicted for the shooting. Let them sort it out in a court of law, but there is at least probable cause to arrest this cop.

And that word "reasonable" is very important.

Is it reasonable to think that an armed cop should feel his life was in danger from an injured, already shot, unarmed teen over 25 feet away?


If so, how?

In another lifetime I shoplifted and smoked.

But I have never strong-armed a store clerk or acted aggressively toward law enforcement.

Big difference
Violent crime is a completely different ball park than petty theft.
this kid was dangerous
