There is a video of a black guy assaulting the store clerk. Yea, I know, I know, they all look alike. Right?
Lol...
Thats funny coming from a guy who pretends to know exactly what happened inside the Police car.
We don't know enough about what led up to the shooting of Brown.
Did he and or his accomplice fight with the cop? Did the officer receive the bulletin that described Brown before he saw them?
But as far as I know, the perps had no guns.
I don't, and have expressed just that. Again, playing stupid makes you look bad and serves no purpose.I have called for proper and thorough investigation. This guy being a suspect in and of itself gives no credence or justification to shooting him in this instance, it's immaterial.
Does this change how those defending Brown's friends versions perceive the lead up to the altercation between Brown and the police?
Nope. Being a suspect doesn't mean you may be arbitrarily executed by the police.
Even more so when one fits the description of a strong-arm robbery suspect.

Well the police do shoot a lot of people, any interaction with them increases your odds of being shot.
I agree with the statement, but not that it applies to this this event. There was nothing arbitrary here.
Absolutely false. There are quite a lot of people who interact with the police regularly and have never been shot, nor are they likely to be, at least by the police. Myself included.
If Michael Brown pointed a gun at the officer would the officer of had cause to shoot Michael Brown?
People at the Bundy Ranch trained guns on Federal Officers.
We're talking about the escalation of force here...when is it warranted and when is it not.
Michael Brown (according to reports) was told to comply and refused
Bundy was told to comply and refused.
IF events unfolded as the witnesses say, then the cops did indeed arbitrarily shoot him.
As I showed Tres...three in August. As for quantifiable data? Apparently it's difficult to track since federal databases track police use of force and local police data is fragmented.
Even if one is not.
Indeed, yet my probability of being shot increases when I interact with the police.
:dohThat story does not pass the smell test. If he were truly a robbery suspect, then why didn't the officer detain him the first time he stopped him, instead of telling him to get out of the middle of the road? If Brown had actually committed a robbery, then why did he talk to the officer the first time he was stopped, telling the officer that he was only a minute away from his destination, instead of running? Add to that the fact that the kid had never been in trouble with the police, has a clean record, has been described by everybody as shy and soft spoken, and was about to be a college student, then this smacks of a police department cover up. Something smells in Ferguson, Missouri, and it ain't the toilets.
No, not even IF, and that's a big IF, the witnesses, one of which include his accomplice in the robbery, are correct in their statements. Not arbitrary at all. The officer was trying to detain a robbery suspect.
We still do not know if the shots fired after Brown had supposedly surrendered were justified. If they weren't, still wouldn't have been arbitrary.
The police cannot be allowed to shoot anyone they desire under the guise of attempted detainment. If they just get to shoot whomever they want and claim whatever they want, then that is arbitrary execution. No fact, no proof, no warrant, just blam blam

You're right, we don't know...but assuming they did not comply which means they resisted. Did Bundy resist? If the Federal Officials shot him would they be right?
