Would it change anything if the cop that killed him was black or is this just a complete racial thing?
Could care less what color either of them are. Plainly and simply about abuse of authority for me and the fact that there is very rarely accountability when they do exceed their authority.

I said that? I don't think so I will have to go back and read it.
My point was everyone has heard the stories about cops abusing power...so why put yourself in position to be a statistic?

All tragic events. All unnecessary. All MUCH more believable than a cop shooting a kid for walking in the street.
The point isn't the believability quotient. I've got more examples if you want less believable ones.
Kid shot answering the door with a Wii controller as his dad is getting served with a warrant.
Bipolar man beat to death for arguing with cops.
Black guys car breaks down, police officer shoots him as he runs towards them to request assistance.
Let me know when you're done with my examples. I've got plenty.

He's shown himself to be a racist on this board many times in the past. He's just been able to hide it better in this thread because he's been busy defending cops to the ends of the earth.

I've already said that his earlier posts weren't handled well. I then said that I thought simply posting links of peaceful protests a better way to voice his side. Is it not?
And my whole point is that most people in here came in here with an agenda and refuse to recognize they they don't know any more about this situation than the other side. I'm not arguing for or against either side. I'm arguing against ignorance.

I really think it's closer to the witness story. Officer has a power trip. He tries to open the door, it bangs against the kid and bounces back. Officer re opens with door with gun drawn grabs kid and fires. Kid spins and runs with hands up and officer fires more rounds. I really think that's what happened.
If that turns out to be true, I'd be extremely disappointed.
It doesn't justify the vandals and rioters, but Brown deserves justice if that was the case. I'd be all for a murder charge in this case.

Nothing that has been reported makes me believe that this kid did anything wrong. The stolen property was debunked. The struggle for the gun doesn't seem accurate in most witness retellings.
Agreed! I don't think his friend is smart enough to get up there and tell a lie like that, and I think he knows he isn't which is why I believe him.

So you're saying the two witnesses - one that was not apparently involved - that gave personal accounts to major media outlets and the police made it up to fit a story? Because I know that they gave those accounts.
No. I'm saying that all we have a statements given by people on either side. No statements have been investigated, challenged or verified yet. I'm saying that all we know for FACT right now is what I stated. Everything else still needs to be investigated and, until that happens, no one knows shite.

I will add that the media and public always latch on to the absolute worst stories like this. You can go to r/bad_cop_no_donut and other websites and find hundreds of terrible stories about abuse of authority, but most are merely an article and 2 min story on the local news. The stories that catch on are very questionable (apparently the kid went for a gun) or something retarded like Trayvon.
I don't get it.

You have a predisposition that really limits your perspective. Maybe you need it to believe in your job, I don't know. But the police shite is going to change. One way or another. Either the police will change or the citizens will change it for them. I don't say that as a threat. It's just an observation.
What predisposition and how is it different from what you are saying except for the fact we are arguing opposite sides? That is illogical
When have I once given the impression I am not in favor of police reform?
What does my job have to do with any of this?

The fact that the police haven't questioned any witness in regards to this shooting and are protecting this cop so vigorously leads me to believe they have something to hide.

The media relies on the police for information. The DA relies on police for subjects to prosecute and evidence. They both have a lot to lose on a daily basis to report the bad things with any sort of regularity.
So it doesn't get reported as often and it doesn't get prosecuted as often.

Why are you ignoring that they've tried to interview a witness but he's been avoiding them?

Not only does it not mesh with witness accounts, but even that story in and of itself doesn't make sense. The kid is told to get off the street and gets so pissed for being told to get off the street that he decides you know what, I'm gonna kick the cops arse, get his gun and kill him. All because he told me to get off the street.

Talked to him about jesus and said he would come back to talk to him about jesus some more.
Cracker cops shot him and he ran 24 feet and the cracker cops that shot him secured the crime scene and he didn't know why they shot him.
awesome video. He didn't want to be identified(Imagine that) He could be the one witness that exonerated this young teen.
