What am I missing? An innocent man is gunned down by cops for operating fully within his rights, a right that Conservatives have vociferously fought to have recognized as protected by the Constitution, and no one is charged w/ a crime or held liable. And nothing?
How do Conservatives reconcile their supposed vigilance against tyranny and gov't trampling over American rights w/ the silence over an American getting killed for doing nothing, but standing in a store and the murderers not even being charged?
I did a Google News search on the story when I got off work @ 6p -- "John Crawford Walmart." In that last hour, 342 websites have an posted an article about the story. Everyone from Slate to NBCNews to LA Times to UPI to the AP, even local news stations. Everyone except the vast majority of Conservative watchdogs.
Reason is the only Conservative source bringing this up. Every major independent and Left-leaning news source seems to at least have an update. Why?

Whoa... now that was an insane bridge to a conservative lynching. You know some news is still just local, and being that I live in Cali I have enough local news to choke on. I live just blocks from where the cops shot a mans dog on the street for no reason. I live just a couple miles from where that homeless guy was beat to death by the two LA cops.
Another of many cases of coward cops murdering an American. And shot him in the back! How brave these punk thugs are! When will Americans get tired of these gangsters with badges?

Bottom line is a large percent of White Americans are terrorized of the sight of a Black Man with a gun. The police in this shooting got the idea that he was threatening people because of a panicked 911 caller. The police should have used common sense but that caller bears part of the blame.
That said... why don't police use non lethal weapons like rubber bullets? It will knock down any possible threat but allow them to live another day.
Probably because he was Black and did not matter like the White men open carrying real guns in Target. A White man confessed to lying to authorities about this man's actions with the BB Gun. As a result, he's dead. No racism in this country, right? Sigh...
You should pose that very question to your DA friends! They manipulate Grand Jury's to do what they, the DA, wants! The DA is in bed with cops! If the DA wants an indictment, there are very few jurors with the guts to "buck" them! If the DA doesn't want an indictment most Grand Jury's won't indict! The legal system is corrupt to the core. The criminals in America are the people enforcing the law the way they want. These murdering cops will walk with the blessing of the crooked and corrupt DA.
