A teen robbed a story and attacked a police officer. It's not rocket science on the reason he died.

We've had this debate, I'm not going to waste my afternoon arguing with someone so thickheaded.

People need to stfu and stop acting like the world revolves around them.

The irony.

You can disagree with forensics, the medical examiners reports, and lack of evidence provided b the prosecution all you want, but it remains the officer acted in the appropriate manner and defended himself from a 6+ft and 225+pound individual attacking him and reaching for his firearm

I see no problem with the protests.

Yep, no problem with destruction of property, robbery, and preventing people from getting to their jobs

> protests
> riots

Pick one. The protests outside of Ferguson have been generally peaceful, so my apologies if you are inconvenienced from getting to work. But, a teen is dead and thousands are upset about that, so to quote BasedLove...

IcyWind don't give a fuck.

Fucking tell it how it is man. You fucking go

SAN DIEGO - As dozens of students blocked northbound I-5 at Nobel Drive as part of a protest Wednesday morning, thousands of irate commuters were left stranded and unable to get to work. At least one of those drivers was angry enough to push a protester and steal his bullhorn.

Tyree Landrum told 10News he was on his way to work at an area Ross store when he was caught in the standstill. He got out of his car, and in front of 10News cameras, he reached out and pushed one male protester towards the center-divide. The protester was chanting "no justice, no peace" into a bullhorn until Landrum wrestled it away from him to shout his own message.

"Hey, I feel you; we ain't got no justice either," Landrum announced.

Landrum told a 10News photographer, "I got to go to Ross right now, homie. If I don't get there, I'm going to get fired. I've got six f****** kids to feed, homie … m*****f****** get shot every f****** day. Deal with it the right way, not like this."

Many other drivers felt similarly incensed. In the crowd of drivers standing outside of their parked cars were health care workers trying to get to area hospitals. One woman in nursing scrubs screamed, "Arrest them!" at the protesters.

"We have doctors and nurses that have to save lives here," the woman told 10News.

It took a wave of California Highway Patrol and San Diego police officers about a half hour to arrive on scene, and drivers rejoiced when officers drove down the ramp.

One man grinned as he shouted at the protesters, "You're spending the night in jail! That's right, you're spending the night in jail tonight!"

The FT is quite literally the most respected newspaper on the planet.

So basically this shows that government involvement in the economy simply doesn't work and creates an artificial demand?

Not exactly, no. It shows that excessive government involvement in the economy and excessive amounts of corruption does. Usually, excessive government involvement causes stagnation and inefficiency - but the sheer scale of Chinese investment and corruption basically means their economy could come crashing down.

Define excessive, because I can say the stimulus packages passed by Bush and Obama have not improved the economy and only created an artificial demand

Nope, not believing this is the real trailer

I'm not too fond of turkey. Only part I like is the dark meat, as it tends to be more flavorful

*waits for the ban*

Not gonna lie, but that is actually pretty cool. Could be the Promethean version of the mongoose/ghost if those types of vehicles ever were added

Yea that's pretty shitty. Deadly force is suppose to be a last resort. You're not even suppose to point your gun at a person unless you've gone down the check list, and have no choice but to kill.

There was no time there for the cop to give him instructions, or for him to comply. You don't just roll up and start firing before assessing a situation.

Rather much disagree. From the calls coupled with the video, he had made himself an armed and possible dangerous suspect; that's enough for police to have their weapons drawn and at the ready. Video also shows him reaching for his waistline, and not putting his hands up. Again, going with the situation the kid placed himself in, the police didn't want to take a chance and end up getting killed, even though they didn't know it was fake

If it were up to me, algebra and mathematical thinking would be a requirement for every single year of higher education. The logic seriously, truly does help.

I wouldn't attend college then

We're feeling the great gas prices here in canada too, I fucking love this and I'm gonna be getting a fuck ton of gas while I can.

How much is the lowest you've seen?

$2.49 is the lowest around here

This was a terrible accident, and is truly a tragedy. Blame is a little irrelevant here. Nothing will bring the child back. Some of you ITT really need to dial down your tone, as well. Show some respect.

No, blame IS relevant here. The parents are most to blame for not giving their child common sense and not supervising him, especially at his age

Week and a half? Yeah, that's rather quick. I would expect sex to come at least a month after being in a relationship

Seeing the video, yeah, I understand the actions of the officer completely. I blame the kid's parent's for not being around, OR teaching him how to conduct himself with a gun, real or fake, in public and in possible presence of an officer.

I blame the parents for not throwing the damn toy away, if they knew the orange muzzle piece was missing
