Multiple witnesses said Brown was never in the vehicle. There is at least one account that stated that the officer tried to grab Brown from within the vehicle. It is established that one shot was fired from within the vehicle.
Being reported now, the cop didn't know he was a robbery suspect.being suspected of robbery is no justification for killing
i saw that. ill revise my comments, being caught jaywalking is no justification for a killingBeing reported now, the cop didn't know he was a robbery suspect.
One witness did say she saw them doing something she thought was arm wrestling. There was also a shot fired within the police vehicle.Do we know he went for the gun? Or are we just going by what the officer said here? I'm just asking, because eye witness said quite the opposite.
The policeman's response was over the top.One witness did say she saw them doing something she thought was arm wrestling. There was also a shot fired within the police vehicle.
The original robbery allegation came from a police report.Being reported now, the cop didn't know he was a robbery suspect.
They make these guys look competentThis PD is starting to look more & more suspect by the hour.
The penalty for jaywalking is getting run over by Tony Stewart.i saw that. ill revise my comments, being caught jaywalking is no justification for a killing
Did he turn his cap backward?The policeman's response was over the top.
Nancy Grace is probably hyperventilating even as we speak.CNN and MSNBC are hyperventilating over this.Comparing it to 1960's Mississippi and apartheid.
That's been my concern. Based on the video of the "kid" in the store and the way he grabbed and pushed the employee/owner, I think he's a punk. Does that warrant shooting? Not by the cop per se, by the employee/owner being assaulted, absolutely. He had 100 lbs on the employee he shoved. I could definitely see a "feared for my life" statement made for a self-defense shooting by the employee/owner.Do we know he went for the gun? Or are we just going by what the officer said here? I'm just asking, because eye witness said quite the opposite.
probably a better picture for nsThey make these guys look competent
Being suspected of "shooting an unarmed robbery suspect the cop didn't know was a suspect" is also no justification for rioting.being suspected of robbery is no justification for killing
Good Lord, Earle, here you go again bringing REASON to an EMOTIONAL social issue. SHAME ON YOU!!!!SIAP, but my wife came up with a different slant on this (as she often does). She said that walking into a convenience store, probably knowing it had a camera, wearing distinctive dress and no mask, etc., grabbing a box of cigars, shoving the mgr on the way out and then walking down the middle of the street with the stolen goods on his person sounded more like a gang initiation to her. I then remembered that I had seen a photo of him making one of the common gang signs. Another thing to remember is that, although the cop didn't know he was a suspect, Brown certainly did...
when have i implied that i was justifying rioting?Being suspected of "shooting an unarmed robbery suspect the cop didn't know was a suspect" is also no justification for rioting.
Now - if you can come up with a justification for rioting, please tell us.
It is worth noting that some of the published pictures of Michael Brown have turned out to not be of Michael Brown...or at least the same Michael Brown.SIAP, but my wife came up with a different slant on this (as she often does).
