The evidence at this point has shown either inconclusive at worst or that the assailant was shot for assaulting an officer.

Or that the cop overacted depending on which witness you believe.

Rational people would have never started rioting and destroying their own neighborhood; somewhat rational people would have said "hey, maybe we're wrong" and stopped destroying their neighborhood.

And I won't even entertain your question, I am well aware of the thin blue line and hate it, but this is not an either-or. Just because blacks are acting like they still live on another continent doesn't mean the cops are angels and vice versa.

I don't see what looting has to do with sticking up for Ron Johnson. I haven't heard anyone condone the looting and the rioting. You seem to be creating a straw man because your mind is already made up about Johnson based on a letter from some cop down in Alabama.

I think the 6 shots may actually favor the cop's defense. He may say that he shot the first 4 times toward the right arm (away from heart "kill" shot) in an attempt to slow MB with non-lethal shots (if MB was charging). They did not stop him, and the cop adjusted to the head area. Just a thought.

It happened on his watch, at the most obvious place.
This particular looting (@ Ferguson Store) could and should have been prevented.

I understand that point, but Tiguar seemed to be equating the two, as though there could be no valid reason for Black cops to stick up for Johnson other than support for looters and rioters.

No, they won't do *&%(.....other than to read the tea leaves, gun up, stock the pantry...and defend their property and family if or when the *Authorities* drop the ball.

The dominoes fall when - for whatever reason - the Civil Authority fails to meet deadly force with deadly force, and the heathen spill their rage over into civil neighborhoods. That is when hell breaks lose. Wanna see some pent up *injustice* rage...tune in to that one. It'll make the Clive Bundy/militia affair look like a Boy Scout gathering.

There it is. Stops the whole legitimate indictment thing in it's tracks. And the street thugs go rogue.

I read the op for a while until he began equivocating browns unarmed robbery with mass murder and terrorism. In the vernacular that's bull shite

Let's see - three mass murderers/terrorists - Ted Bundy, Tim McVeigh, Eric Rudolph - all apprehended alive and brought to justice.

A guy who robbed a convenience store unarmed - impossible to apprehend alive!

Are you really stupid enough that you think the intended audience was the Missouri State Police Captain? Chief Delmore's professional experience makes his criticism credible. Sorry if you are upset by that.
