Also I'd like to see the other side of the story before I make any conclusions.

Before I go though I'd like to remind people that by jumping into a "POLICE ARE EBIL" camp right away you're falling into a FUD camp that our sensationalist media wants you to be in in order to bring in more revenue.

There police that lawfully do their duty far outnumber the ones that don't.

Honestly, what do you expect when you empower one sect of society over another and hand them weapons with open license to use them whenever they feel the slightest bit scared.

The US police forces have more innocent blood on their hands than North Korea and China combined

Yeah except you know the kid tried to take the officers weapon.

Police aren't some evil force kids. They are there to help you.

They are however very jumpy with many of them quick to squeeze the trigger. Their internal policies generally drive this mentality by clearing shootings a lot more liberally than would be done if the board was evaluating a civilian committing the same homicide. I carry myself, but I don't fuck around with cops either, I get pulled for any reason hands on the wheel until I receive further instructions; I know how jumpy they can be.

Generalizing much? Not all cops are the same, blame the stupid minority.

That's true, there are cops who have more control over their fear and reactions to that fear than others, what's unfortunate is the force behind them backing up the twitchy ones when they do fuck up and kill an undeserving victim.

This is all of course a completely biased opinion from someone who has been harassed by police since he was 14.

"The genesis of this was a physical confrontation," Jon Belmar, chief of the St. Louis County Police Department, said at a Sunday news conference.

The officer tried to leave his vehicle just before the shooting on Saturday afternoon, but Brown pushed him back into the car, "where he physically assaulted the police officer" and struggled over the officer's weapon, Belmar said.

How about doing some research before going on a "hur cops r evol" tangent? Of course the friend is going to make it out that the other kid did nothing, that's going to happen and thus gullible people are going to believe the kid and begin to say things to incite a riot

Well if that's true that pushes me from the undecided due to lack of a complete story into the shooting was justified camp.

That feeling when you live an hour away from St. Louis.

And now they are looting and rioting, Top notch productive citizens.

Amazing that they can riot and loot on a sunday night/monday morning. Don't they have work?......Oh wait....

Reminds me of how the Mexicans in my city reacted over the the case where a kid pointed a replica ak-47 at a police officer and then was shot and killed when decided not to drop the " weapon" when ordered to.

Only without the looting part.

Kinder Graham · August 11, 2014, 03:20:24 PM

I love how people are now trying to make this into race. People fucking burning down businesses? Seriously?

What if the officer was black?
What if the officer was black and the kid was white?

Society is pathetic today. Bunch of over-entitled retards

The mainstream media will always make the murder/violent attack on someone who isn't white as a race related issue.

However I think the officer was racially biased, would he have shot the kid if he was white?

Did you read the story I posted? The kid was ysically pushing the cop back in the car and was trying to reach for the cop's gun. Of course a cop would have fired his weapon in fear of his life

I'm pretty sure it would have gone down a lot differently if the kid was white, that's all I'm saying.

On siding with the guy who was shot for now, we don't know on the full story yet.

Officers are trigger happy towards black people.
That white guy that shot all those people in the cinema at the batman screening was arrested yet black people get shot for the most basic encounters

PSU · August 14, 2014, 06:00:43 AM

People are upset over the increased police presence.....Maybe you shouldn't have looted for 4 days you lowlife fucking inner city trash. The fact that ANYONE is standing up for these criminals is hilarious. Honestly, I wish the police would just wipe out everyone there.

Oh yeah, 4 days straight days of looting and riots, don't these people have to get to work? Or are they using vacation days? LOLOLOL fucking scum of the earth. Living off the government, and then want to pick a fight with the people who give them money. Maybe if they didn't drop out in the 8th grade they'd have some perspective.

Is something wrong with you? Your fucking article even says that what happened is in dispute, but it does say that multiple witnesses corroborate Brown's friends story. You need to read the shit you post.
