I for one would be just as glad he is dead had he been white, brown, female, elderly, my brother or whatever. I hate criminals of any race/gender or age, especially those of the violent type and am happy when one is removed from "normal people"'s company.

Did you see the 5 white "faces of meth" in the news this week who attacked a black pastor on his own property? Shoot em all, I wish they had gone the way of Rayshaud.

Would you want a violent criminal for a next door neighbor, or as your daughter's boyfriend?

Erm..
The way this country operates - hard to tell the difference.
I only know what I saw, the way the whole "Justice system" in America is set.

That is when you are poor, you are a step away from prison.

And Blacks are mostly poor.

However, let good Lord sort it all out for you, I think I've said all I wanted, so I am done here.

P.S. I am a woman and I don't have a daughter, I have a son.

It was his girl-friend who got violent actually once, but police was about to jump to her defense automatically - they were not particularly interested who was right and who was wrong.

Then why did you donate to that murderer George Zimmerman?

It was a plea deal to a variety of charges Simple family battery, cruelty to children, false imprisonment, obstructing an officer, interfering with custody.

( You wouldn't even believe how much difference it makes)))
Public defender.

Maybe he should have thought about the quality of legal representative he could afford before he decided to commit a crime.

That is as long as they didn't cause any death or serious damage YET.
Yes, because we all know people who have a suspended license NEVER drive. Lol, you have lost all credibility (not that you had much to begin with).

What in the world makes you people think that if the cops show up to his house to arrest him he's going to act any differently? And it could've been FAR worse in that situation ... he could've had hostages, he could've had a a stash of weapons, he could've had a shootout with the police with his kids caught in the crossfire.

WTF is wrong with you people?
It reminds me of when my kids were very young and they'd naively ask why there are bad guys and then with wide-eyes ask, 'Why doesn't someone tell them to be kind?' or 'If I see a bad guy, I'm just gonna run away.'

It's cute when they're four - but these are damn adults writing as though they've lived in a basement all their lives. Are they really this foolish or are they being willfully stubborn in sticking to their airy fairy make believe stories about how this would have played out if only the cops had (fill in the blank).

I can think of no other crime where people would be coming up with ridiculous statements like,'Why didn't they just talk to him?' and 'Why didn't they just let him go and follow him?' He broke the damn law and put lives in danger - you don't think he would have done that in the end anyway?

And these folks vote???!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you understand how the law works? You cannot drive intoxicated. He put lives at risk when he decided to get behind the wheel and drive to Wendy's drunk. The police officers initially were very patient with him for over forty minutes. This situation escalated because of Rayshard, he could have complied, been arrested, but no he chose to resist an arrest, fight two officers, steal one of their tasers and then point it at the officer. Stop defending this guy.

Interesting what you find when you dig deeper

Rayshard's past charges were: False Imprisonment
Single Battery
Family Battery
Felony Cruelty
Cruelty to Children

That's fine -say he was a terrible person -but the arresting cops can't be the judge, jury and executioner.. we all have a right to have our day in court.
