Black people should wise up when it comes to them and cops.
Ex of this happened to me couple weeks ago.
I was driving down two lane road and fastly approaching behind me came this car with 4 black kids in it driving like a wild band of Indians....
Speeding, tailgating, swerving ect ......
I thought to myself how dumb,
They might as well held up a sign that says F the police I have drugs and guns on me now.
This is memphis 24/7

I used the phrase our own because I am black, the kid who was murdered was black and the people who are pissed off are black.
So what's the commonality between all three, other than skin color?
Are you saying because of distantly shared DNA, the entire group shares similar traits?
Be Careful how you answer.

People need to stop acting like this is known at the time of the incident. Now if they shoot him dead after frisking that's a different story.
Dude, the kids arms were up in the air. There was no need to shoot the kid 10 times.
The rioters and looters need to be tossed in jail. What's a shame is that the supporters of Michael Brown had their vigil/protest earlier in the evening. That was peaceful. It was at the end of that, as those folks were leaving that the thug pieces of shite started showing up and the craziness started. Probably would have been smarter to schedule the vigil for earlier in the day and ended it in daylight instead of late at night when the thugs come out. On the other side, the County cops all but insured this shite was going to break loose by militarizing the area for the vigil when there were peaceful demonstrations on multiple occasions Saturday and earlier Sunday. With anger building direct at LE it might they might have guaranteed things erupting by showing up in military gear. Obviously, they were needed later in the night. I'm talking about earlier. Have them nearby. Have them on standby where they can react within minutes. No need to have the barking dogs in the faces of the supporters. Those images just incited people.

What's ironic is that the small business owner in the area that I've heard from aren't as pissed about it. Obviously, they'd prefer it didn't happen, but they get the anger that has been building for quite some time now.

At least 32 arrests last night. Still don't know how many business were hit.
Got a bad feeling that people gonna be more pissed that people get arrested for burning a trash can or whatever or stealing some shirts but when a kid gets shot, no one is arrested. Just a bad feeling it ain't over yet but only going to add fuel to the fire.

Bull sh*t. The kid was wrestling with the cop and trying to take his gun from him and was shot.
How do you try to take someone's gun away from them while running away?

It's the gas stations where the original reports were saying that Mike Brown had stolen from before he was killed by the cop.
Unless something new came out, it was debunked that he stole from a gas station. Having said that, the rumor was started that he had stolen from a QT so I'm not surprised that the QT was the first place hit with looting last night.

One injustice does not excuse widespread looting and arson and vandalism.
The human garbage looting rims and weave last night deserved to starve to death.

No. Walmart isn't worried about it because of insurance. The smaller, local businesses have suffered through the same things that the Brown family have gone through at the hands of LE. Maybe not a family member being shot, but enough abuse of authority in their minds that they sympathize with the Browns and understand the frustration and anger. I'm sure not all feel like that, but some have expressed it.

He tried to run after the wrestling match and he was shot while assaulting the cop. He ran afterwards.
Really? You buy that bullshite cop CYA story?
Even in their official version he was shot, unarmed, running away.
Regardless, lethal force against jaywalkers is ridiculous, unacceptable and a menace to society

Frankly, my take is that the whole trying to wrestle the cop's gun away is a bull shite story made up by the police to try to deflect blame from the cop. That entire scenario doesn't even make sense. Even if, at one time, they struggled over his gun, the kid was running away with his hands in the air and was still shot more than a half dozen more times.

A thug was shot for stealing and assaulting a cop. Big deal. Next story.
You have no idea what happened up there. Might be best if you do move on to the next story.

Don't disagree with that. Well arrested at least. Maybe not starved to death. Just said I got a bad feeling it ain't going away any time soon because of the arrests for looting but no arrest for murder.

How does the seemingly Indefensible death of a youth at the hands of law enforcement justify looting of completely unrelated businesses?
It's sickening.
These pieces of shite stole rims and weaves, all under the cover of "community anger".
That's enough to be sickening to any decent person.
I'm not opposed to directed chaos (towards police stations, government, etc.) but using a tragedy as an excuse to steal is for the lowest of the low.

Sorry, if you try to wrestle a gun away from a cop then you will be shot.
Cops version but I'm going to bet that changes in time. It doesn't fit and I'm gonna bet too many witnesses that say it isn't so. Best I can make out, the cop told them to walk on the sidewalk. Kids mouthed off. Cop goes to get out of car throwing door open. Door hits kids and closes right back on the cop. (That's your scuffle) Cop pulls gun and shoots once from within the car. Kids run. One hides behind a car. Second puts hands up in middle of street and stops and is shot more than a half dozen more times.
Now how the story ultimately plays out, who knows.
