Quote
A St Louis city policeman shot and killed a young male suspect on Wednesday, authorities said, bringing new tension as protests continue over the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teenager in August.

The officer had attempted to stop the fleeing suspect, the St Louis Metropolitan Police Department said on Twitter. During the chase on foot the suspect turned and fired at the officer, who returned fire and fatally wounded him, the force said.

Just what we needed...

"I've been battling with the struggle of love and anger and the anger has won. It's impossible for me to go back to the way I was. I've tried changing back but it didn't work. I still had it in me and doubt it will ever go away. I have no control over it anymore. It has become part of me."
Wait who the fuck should be mad about this? The dude shot at the cop. The officer has every right to fire back.

The suspect was armed, and a policeman was chasing them. They exchanged shots, and one of them died. What, are they going to say that the policeman found this suspect based on color or something?

Never mind, this story has much more than what it shows.

Source for the sandwich thing? Is it in the unquoted part of the article or somewhere else?

Yeah, I didn't post the whole article, just the first two bits. Other people claim he was only holding a sandwich.

Why he was walking around town eating a sandwich, I don't know. I usually sit down to eat.

I wish I had that kind of time. I wish I could protest for months and months.

Alas I have a job and responsibilities. I don't live off the government.

The rioters who are throwing a fit that a man was protecting his life. This is all just pathetic race baiting and nothing else. If it were a black cop that fired back then nobody would be mad; if they were both black nobody would be mad; if they were both white nobody would be mad. This stigmatization that whites for some reason are racist if they have any encounter with any other color is what's holding this nation and world back

I wonder if there is security camera footage. Now I'm interested.

Professional demonstrating (read: protesting) is an actual career.

Being shot at doesn't justify shooting back?

The death was an accident but the cop had every right to fire back, it's called self defense. The family is in denial saying he never had a gun and it was a sandwich he was holding.

I haven't been hearing much about it recently, which is weird because i'm only an hour away from Ferguson.

Crowds like these tend to overreact. I'm not surprised.
