Wow, that's an impressive amount of ignorance.

A) news channels tend to go apeshit when something tragic happens to a white kid.
B) I don't remember the last time a cop gunned down an unarmed white kid with his hands up 30 feet away from the cop.
C) When something bad does happen to a white kid, the authorities tend not to act like corrupt, *** covering, character assassins. This whole thing is like a bad Denzel Washington movie.

People who get shot by cops tend to be ****-ups.   

You never hear "Valedictorian, working to help the homeless, shot and killed by rogue cop."

Maybe we shouldn't spend a whole lot of time worrying over a dead ****-up.

Thanks for your thoughtful and well reasoned response.

My main point here, that you're too dumb and too liberal (I know, same thing) to understand is that WITHOUT ANY PROVEN FACTS, the cop is already being convicted in the public mind (and black community) as a MURDERER, and in the end, no matter what the facts turn out to be, anything less than a conviction for first degree cold blooded murder will be a travesty of justice.

But whatever. It was a great opportunity for the looters to get themselves some free stuff.

Shoot darky at every opportunity!

Do we know that for sure?

The police version that has thus far been provided of Brown's shooting differs markedly from witness accounts, including that of his friend Johnson.

In their earlier account, police said Brown reached into the patrol car and struggled with Wilson before the officer pulled his service gun and shot Brown multiple times. Wilson sustained a facial injury, which was treated in a hospital, they said.

But Johnson and one other witness have said that Brown was trying to get away from the officer, who tried to grab him after telling him to move off the street and onto a sidewalk.

BTW, not surprisingly, he was not some innocent teen out for a stroll.   A ****-up is a pretty accurate description.




Minutes before a police officer shot him dead, Michael Brown had become a suspect in the theft of cigars from a store, according to police reports released on Friday after days of protests in a St. Louis suburb over the unarmed black teenager's death.

But what, if anything, that had to do with the fatal encounter became less clear as the day went by. Hours after the reports' release, police said that Officer Darren Wilson, 28, had no idea 18-year-old Brown was a robbery suspect. He simply wanted Brown to move from the road to the sidewalk, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said at a news conference

"He was walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic. That was it," Jackson said.
