But, but...they be somebody's kid...just like Michael Brown, tres. I heard Al Sharpton say the other night that Michael Brown earned a scholarship to Vatterott College..........which happens to be a local trade school that doesn't award scholarships.
I saw on the news this morning that 5 people were shot and killed in Chicago over the weekend, and 27 were wounded. Didn't say the race of those involved, but your point is correct. Why aren't they doing something there?
These looters don't even know what the **** is going on nor why they're doing this. They're using this as an excuse, and it's as disgusting as the people who actually give them a pass.
Vatterot College? Where is that??
This happens EVERY night right here in St. Louis MO. except it's OK if the murderers are the same color as the murdered. No big deal. And of course, it happens on a much smaller scale than in Chi-town. But heaven forbid if a white man kills a black man...even a cop.
Of course it matters. But its a different monster of a lower calibur because one has state and government backing, a source of trust. And the other is expected to be criminal. Well because they are criminals. So you are saying that criminals murdering people is the same as guardians murdering people and getting away with it.... Get the **** outa here.
What is more vile? An assassin killing someones baby or finding out the pope is sinister and has been sacrificing live babies all his career? We expect the assassin to have no morals. We let the "pope" type get closer to us and it is more vile if he does evil.
Then report on the facts regarding the tear gas and armored vehicles. Escalating violence will not see protestors win anything other than jail time and possibly their lives. The only way to protest and WIN is with non-violence. Has Ghandi and MLK's teachings been ignored?
The police created this problem, so it all falls on their shoulders.
Well what can they do? If they go in with riot gear the media attacks them for being too heavy handed.
How do you know that?
How do you know Brown did not start it?
Of the two autopsies, there showed no struggle. Mr. Brown was unarmed. There was clearly excessive use of force...6 shots, two to the head, nobody is a threat after eating 5 bullets, one of which to the head. This was an act of police brutality. Even if Mr. Brown was a threat to the life of the police officer, which he was not, a shot to the leg would have sufficed as self defense, not 6 including multiple to the head.
That is STILL an opinion and Cops are not trained nor ever instructed to "shoot someone in the leg ".
How ridiculous. You've seen too many movies.
They're trained to aim towards Center mass.
So in you're professional opinion, the appropriate force was to shoot and hit the man 6 times, including multiple in the face. According to eye witness reports he had turned around to face the pursuing officer with his hands up, at that time do you still support firing 5 times into him (the 6th grazed him as he was fleeing originally according to reports. That is when he stopped and turned to surrender himself.) And I also find it hard to believe that police are trained to aim toward the center of mass when they have no reason to believe the suspect is armed.That is STILL an opinion and Cops are not trained nor ever instructed to "shoot someone in the leg ".

No, the reason for the riots is because of a bunch of lawless assholes went buck wild in the streets.

Describe "buck wild "for me.:2wave:

Of course, shooting each big toe would stop a running felon easily.
I'm not a Cop but know that they are NOT trained to wound someone in the leg.
Thats a ridiculous notion that could only come from watching too any cheesy detective shows.
The are trained to aim for the center line of the torso of the body. They are trained to STOP THE THREAT.
Don't reference the autopsy reports and then perpetuate the the BS that he was shot fleeing.
In reference to this issue you people have been so wrong on so many levels and you STILL haven't learned to be objective.

You're not serious are you ?
" Shooting toes " ???
Im not a cop either, but you aren't trained to kill unarmed people... novel idea. He was not neutralizing a threat, the cop is the threat.

No, just being a smartass!
Those 'shooting to wound' comments just make me laugh!
COM shots are the way to go - no question.
