Who knows what he was thinking and why he did the things he did. Maybe it was because he was an 18 year old who just robbed a convenience store. Maybe he thought that if he intimidated the officer that he would get away with the robbery/assault. Maybe his "friend" was egging him on and he wanted to look like a bad *** . 18 year olds think they're invincible and don't always think about the consequences.

in the convenience store taking cigars:

Dooley looking into special prosecutor for Michael Brown shooting case : News

"The lawyer for Johnson, who was walking with Michael Brown when Wilson fatally shot Brown, said Johnson told authorities about the cigar theft earlier this week.

“He told them about the cigarillos and that Big Mike took cigarillos,” said the lawyer, former St. Louis Mayor Freeman Bosley Jr."

We do not know absolutely the full truth add of yet, police officers attempt to cover their treat (a*s) with dishonesty as does the media, small children, criminals, and most.

It's painful to witness my self righteous bigot white counterparts jump to conclusion of negativity toward the young lads (regarding what actually occurred with the officer). Equally as much the AA community conferring racist dealing.

I know for me from the outside it appears another officer slays person of the AA community. Appears to shift towards normalcy which is blatantly wrong.

Regardless of the outcome of this particular incident, there is an underlying problem that will not go away. It will only take a similar incident in the future for things to boil over again.
Here it is: Ferguson is two-thirds Black but all the power is in white hands. This fosters cronyism, mistrust and disrespect. Only 3 of the 53 police officers are Black, the mayor is white and only one of the city councilmen is black. I haven't found any information about the school board but my money is on a similar makeup. Only a person with their head in the sand would not come to the conclusion that this is a recipe for disaster.

Look what happens when it's the opposite. New Orleans and Detroit are mostly black, and run by mostly blacks. Both are very corrupt.

Why? I've had a group of teenage AA volunteers at a hospital I was a resident at go "Ching chong blah blah" at me a la Shaq, then run when I yelled back "WTF did you say? Do you realize I'm a physician at this hospital?". If I got one of their volunteer tags, they would have had a WHOLE lot of explaining to do.

Stupidity knows no race, gender, or religion, unfortunately.

Exactly, and that's what people need to understand. Hell, imagine a 70% white community having a 95% black police force.. with over 21,000 in population...

Not quite. The opposite would not be what you just outlined.

How about the White man whom help inflict disease, illness, and social unjust/unrest? All for capital gain!!

I've said it once before, if I were AA I would be pissed at the inequality faced and even More so with such add my children must experience. The AA community should be full of bigots and racist foul mouth morons,
such as us in the white (European American) community. Considering the history and unjust treatment.

We can go tic for tac about who's worse and my white counterparts would hand down prove more heinous. However we need to band together as a nation period!

Boils down to this- equality should be heavily promoted, laws and those sanctioned must be revised to ensure such occurs.

What in the World are you talking about?
Is this what they taught you in "African American studies"?
