Do you really think that any of the protesters are protesting that a young black man was gunned downed by a rouge cop?

Hell no they're not, it's all about 1 of 2 things. Leaders = money, dumb followers = new tv's. None of them give 2 shits about some guy getting smoked. It's all about profit.

Why are they not rioting right now in Chicago?

That's the hypothetical being discussed here as a "lawful order." Do you have different information?


No, but I've got a hard time believing that was the actual catalyst for all of this.

I believe something else happened. I'm not saying the cop was the instigator nor am I saying it was Brown, but there had to have been something that happened between walking in the street and being shot dead.

If you've never seen blacks hang out in the middle of the street making people go around them and impeding the flow of traffic I suggest spending some time in predominantly black areas. For all we know this cop could have been sent to that area and asked to patrol because of numerous complaints of people hanging out in the street


Yea and you know how you handle it,

Hey can ya'll do me a favor and move over to the side walk, a couple of people have called worried that ya'll were going to get hit and nobody wants that.

Look you and others can't get past why didn't the cop just go about his business while others are of the position why didn't the guy just listen to the officer.

All I'm saying is can't we agree that it is logically possible the police officer fricked up royally?

After listening to the witness' second re telling of the story, some holes are beginning to develop. I can objectively admit that through my overall dislike of the current state of policing in the US. Come join me in rational land where we don't determine everything by who we identify with the most.

Would it change anything if the cop that killed him was black or is this just a complete racial thing?

More baseless supposition. All reports are of them walking, not impressing traffic. No reports of calls due to impeding traffic. All we know for sure right now is:

The cop told the kids to get out of the street.

The situation escalated for unknown reasons.

Brown was shot multiple times and died on the scene. Anything else is bullshite invented to fit a story.

He also said he didn't raise his hands and say don't shoot til after being shot


You're right, he says something along the lines of the cop shot an unarmed kid who wasn't going for a gun at all, the kid runs free 35 feet or so before putting his hands in the air and the cop sees fit to put a few more rounds in him.

So it's ok and understandable for cops to be of unacceptable intelligence levels, but not the people they are protecting and serving?


Huh? Wtf?

I'm not discussing looters. I'm discussing the officer and Brown.

That's what I'm saying. That was the escalation point. Limp dick cop gets pissed that this kid isn't following his orders. Questions his power. Time to make an example of him.


bullshite.

If this were 100% factual, at what point do you believe the cop decided to shoot him? What else do you think happened? I'm genuinely curious.

Great. I have a hard time believing a dude gets shot by a cop for carrying an air soft rifle in WalMart that they sell there. I have a hard time believing a 90 year old guy needs to be disarmed of his butter knife with a beanbag shotgun. I have a hard time believing a chokehold is an acceptable means of arresting people. But that shite happens all the time. All the time.

If you limit beforehand what you will and will not believe, you already have arrived at your conclusion.
