Police Shoot and kill black teen in Missouri Town

[Deal Me In]

My response that he was executed is based on the accounts given to the media by the three eyewitnesses that have come forward. According to all three accounts, 1) he was running away when he was shot in the back 2) he turned around, put his hands up and was shot several more times. That's an execution.

There is a tape with a man saying something in the background. Until that person is found (probably easy) and tells his story to the police (probably not so easy) what is said on the tape is meaningless.

I don't understand why people keep saying he was shot for assaulting the cop. Everyone agrees, (police, eyewitnesses) there was a struggle at the car. Everyone agrees there was a shot fired in the car and the victim ran. At that point the threat is no longer there. You now have a second incident. I've said repeatedly that if he had been shot while struggling with the cop we wouldn't be having this conversation.

[Deal Me In]

Also, on the tape you reference there are several people saying, "They shot him for no reason" Why do you choose to believe one person commenting in the background and not the others?

[Deal Me In]

Here is the link to the video you reference since you don't have enough posts to put it up. The exchange you are talking about happens at around the 6:30 mark. It's hard to make out because of the background noise.

But, I would like you listen to the entire video and pay particular attention to the crowd in the background at the following times: 2:38, 3:40, 5:25, and 8:15. If we are going to believe what is said in the background of a video then we must give equal weight to all things heard. Picking on statement out of a 10 minute video is selective.

Well there's definitely a problem here. Maybe they will get it all sorted out. But in the meantime...probably not a good idea to rob a convenience store in the first place. Just saying.

This is interesting. And if true a possible game changer....

You mean rob a convenience store and then walk down the middle of the road blocking traffic and when the cops tell you to get out of the road you tell them no because you only have a little ways until home??? Sounds like they were looking for problems in the first place.

That kid was destined to wind up dead. Very poor attitude eventually a store owner would have shot him anyway because obviously he was not going to just rob one store and quit...strong arm robbery..lmao. what a tiny store owner I felt sorry for the guy getting run over like that. Now i still dont know whether or not kids death was justified...yes or no I think he would eventually bitten the bullet sometime very soon

A few forensic pathologists have said the autopsy is consistent with the officers account. He was shot from the front and the wound on his head are consistent with him leaning forward. Either falling or rushing towards the cop. One said he was most likely rushing the cop because the other wounds aren't in areas that would make him fall.

I know it's regurgitated TV bullshit but its whats being said....

[Hazard]

Idunno how these residents of ferguson can justify all the bullshit their doing. Looting and arson have NOTHING to do with civil rights.

They can't. They're opportunistic criminals.

Ok.....


I just saw an interview with the parents. They said the only way they see peace coming to ferguson is if the cop is prosecuted and found guilty. All the while the father had his "grill" in his mouth and the mother had her hair newly done.

Why the fvck would you wear a gold grill on CNN? Trayvons mom was on and said they need to focus of burying their son.

[Cuz]

Gold grille? Classic

[davidtheman100]

You know the shooting is justified when the cop tells the truth and matches the description off the autopsy.

Nuff' said.

Them boys ain't got nothing to hide.

Do you really have to ask? Ok I know it was more of rhetorical but the answer is because they are trash and to them that was appropriate and styling.

They care nothing justice only blind revenge and care nothing about what really happened or who was at fault.

Just like the rest of them. They were only looking for another excuse to loot and hurt someone.

And Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson continue to seek opportunities to put themselves in the spotlight to prevent racial progress. I can assure you if this was a town of white trash it would be a fat white kid shot in the street.

One thing that really gets me aggravated is race talk. I understand there are biggots and people out there who don't like some people because of their skin color. I'm sure there are cops out there, of all races, that don't like people outside their race. However..... I refuse to believe that every white cop who shoots an African American did it because of race.

If we are ever going to get over this - we have to come together and stop using the racial cards. We just have to...... It seems like it only gets played when its beneficial to the one saying it.

the world in which we live in will not allow it! what made all those people go and tear up stores and rob them? one word, hate.

If it wasn't for racial discrimination people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would not have a job so its in their best interest to keep it alive and stir the pot.

Just read the cops orbital sockets were fractured from being assaulted by Michael Brown at the initiation of the incident.

Question: How do you think things would be right now if roles were reversed with the cop being black and victim white?

Wow great info Kel. I think I know the answer tho.

[Dpyle]

Nevermind the cop factor. Think about how things played out leading up to the Zimmerman trial the look up the Christian newsom murders that went down here in my city a few years back. How much national coverage did that one get

its just like MLK Rodney King and many other times.This happen in Sheveport La many years ago.A black drug dealer was shot by a white woman.So they did their thing.Burned homes robbed stores.The police just circled the area off.When the Chief of Police was asked why he didnt go in and stop it.He said (They are only burning and robbing from each other>Why risk one of my men being injured or killed) Sad thing is I believe they replaced him after that.
