You sure about that? Fair number of people have died at hands of LE that WEREN'T committing a crime.

Update

quote:

The shooting victim was identified as Michael Brown, 18, a 2014 graduate of Normandy High School who was scheduled to begin classes at Vatterott College on Monday.

Brown was shot at approximately 2:15 p.m. in the 2900 block of Canfield Drive.

His mother, Lesley McSpadden, said the incident occurred as her son was walking to his grandmother's residence.


quote:

“I know they killed my son," McSpadden told an acquaintance. "This was wrong and it was cold-hearted."

Her son, she continued, "doesn't kill, steal or rob. He doesn't do any of that.”


quote:

The unnamed officer has been placed on paid administrative leave.

"We are hoping for calm and for people to give us a chance to conduct a thorough investigation," Jackson told the Post-Dispatch.

County Police spokesman Brian Schellman promised a "lengthy investigation."

"We're still trying to piece together what happened and why," Schellman said.

As the afternoon wore on activists, public figures and others arrived on the scene to urge calm.

State Sen. Jamilah Nasheed, D-St. Louis, said she would petition the U.S. Justice Department for a formal investigation on Monday.

I feel bad for the lad and his mother but I'd bet a dollar to a dime he did more than steal a kit Kat


Kid was UNARMED...I don't believe that he deserved to be shot down like a rabid dog in the middle of the street.

Apparently he may not have even stolen anything and the cop that killed him has already been suspended.

I really don't care if the black community of St. Louis is upset about this shooting.

They sit passively by night after night in city after city as black youth slaughter each other in the streets by the scores yet they want to burn stuff when a black kid catches a bullet in a cop shooting?

They have no credibility.

How about this one?

LSUtigers1986,
He looks like a douche and he sucks lots of dicks,
Roses are red and violets are blue,
If you break a law maybe you'll get shot too.






Ya fricking mook.

Regardless of the truth, do you all notice how virtually nobody sides with the police and everyone is comfortable making the assumption that the police were in the wrong? I do. And I don't wonder why.

Did you actually read the posts in this thread?

And no one should have any sympathy if I swerve off the road, flip over, and die.

See how that works?

Multiple witnesses have told the media in #Ferguson, that Mike Brown had his hands up when he was shot "multiple" times by police officer.


Some reports are saying he was shot as many as 9 times...

Me neither. I hope they start executing people for jaywalking and speeding too. Laws are written to protect our society. Break the law and you should expect nothing less than death.
