New Witness to Michael Brown Shooting

[miles]

Not at all. And you have no reason to say that.

Yes he does. He's a fucking lunatic.

Yes I do.

Yes he does. He's a fucking lunatic.

You posted my kids personal information here, but *I* am the "fucking lunatic"?

Please, seek professional help.

 

[toubab]

I have to disagree with you.

I don't see eye-to-eye with toubab on a lot of things.

That said, he's been steadfast in this thread in stating there's a possibility the cop crossed the line and that, if he did, he needs to be prosecuted and punished.

I see nothing knee jerk in that, unlike the keep-an-open-mind-until-I-tell-you-really-what-happened posters.

I appreciate that. And yes, it should be clear I'm open to the possibility the cop may have killed Brown wrongly, and also open to the possibility he may have been justified in killing him.

who in this thread disagreed?

Facts don't matter anymore. Its time to choose sides and do as much damage as possible...like Roman gladiators.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Facts don't matter anymore.

When did facts ever matter to you?

 

[cjh]

who in this thread disagreed?

What? I'd never suggest that.

Everyone in this thread has kept an open mind.

The conclusions are obvious

He wasn't shot in the back,

He was shot in self defense, he was drug infused and bum rushed a cop.....he died, who gives a sit? No one!......don't you dare anyone gives a shit.....how many blacks were killed in Chicago this weekend? No one cares

 

[Lancecastor]

The Regime needed another distraction, and they succeeded like they always do.

Yes, Obama ordered the shooting as a "distraction'...and now you've figured it out!

Holy shit....you know what THAT means?!

MILES IS A DEAD MAN!

 

[RobDownSouth]

How did they poison their relationship? It seems to me everything was going along pretty normally in Ferguson until this incident.

If you truly believe that, you haven't been paying attention.

 

[toubab]

If you truly believe that, you haven't been paying attention.

I've been paying attention, and I see a lot of 'after the fact' stuff being said, but no evidence of major complaints before the fact.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

When did facts ever matter to you?

All that matters is the outcome. Facts invite quarrels and disputes.

does my comment NEGATE what I said?

WHO SAID IF THE COP WAS WRONG HE SHOULDNT BE PUISHED?

Many conservatives feel that way.

Islamic State Jihadists Encourage Ferguson Rioters, Protester Seen Holding “ISIS Here” Sign…

Urging them to convert to the Religion of Peace.

Via Daily Mail:


ISIS militants and their supporters are using social media to encourage protesters in Ferguson to embrace radical Islam and fight against the U.S. government.

Jihadists in Syria and Iraq and their sympathisers in the West have taken to Twitter to send messages of support to hundreds of demonstrators taking part in a ninth night of angry protests in the U.S. city following the shooting by police of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.

The militants’ tweets denounce local officers for the way they have attempted to quell the violence, make reference to historic acts of police brutality, and even use the hashtag #FergusonUnderISIS in an attempt to get angry young men in the city to declare allegiance to the Islamist group.

The news comes as footage purportedly taken from the scene of the Ferguson protests appeared to show one demonstrator marching along a street holding a sign reading ‘ISIS is here’.

Dem Rep. Emanuel Cleaver Blames Racism For Violent Protests In Ferguson…




Always the victim.

Via Politico:


Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver on Tuesday said he doesn’t think President Barack Obama needs to come to Ferguson, even if the town’s recent unrest reminds him more of Fallujah.

“I don’t think the president needs to come to Ferguson,” the Kansas City-area Democrat said on MSNBC. “It adds another distortion. We don’t need that now. We don’t need any more people coming into Ferguson to help the poor people out during this time of trouble. What we need is a sense of calm and anything other than that is going to be dangerous.”

The Democratic congressman also said the situation in Ferguson looks more like Iraq than the U.S. “Ferguson resembles Fallujah more than it does Ferguson,” he said, perhaps an allusion to growing criticism of the armored vehicles, SWAT cars, sniper rifles and other elements of police militarization seen in the area.

Cleaver said that the protests in Ferguson — a majority black city that has seen demonstrations increasingly turn violent in recent days — are largely because of the community’s sense that it “has been essentially left behind in terms of racial progress.”

Zimmerman not only was overcharged, he never should have had any charges filed against him, period.

I may be wrong, but from what I read Zimmerman instigated the confrontation.

You've already concluded the cop was not wrong.

My point was 2-fold.

You've preempted the second fold by declaring the first irrelevant.

the COP was protecting HIMSELF as well as the community at large from a DRUG INFUSED HULKING THUG

cops and others should be punished for wrong doing


one does NOT contradict the other

So we should shoot everyone who weighs over, say, 250 pounds who smokes dope?

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

:nods:

I think not. I suspect I'm alone in my beliefs.

There was a time when plenty of my problem clients had the decency to die. Its amazing how often it happened.

 

[Balladeer08]

Most news people clearly want this to be a case where the cop is guilty of an unjustified killing. Nobody can deny that with a straight face.

There are plenty of people who just don't get the fact that the news media in general have a vested interest in sensationalism. Blowing the story up sells papers, increases viewership and ad revenue.

The individual reporters are interested in getting bylines, face time on camera. They are more interested in getting the story first than they are in getting it right.

We have lousy reporters these days. Chet Huntley was the most trusted man in America. There isn't a reporter I can think of today who could crack the top 1,000.

Take the "police are throwing tear gas at us" sensation early in this event. The reporters were in among the rioters. I suspect the police were throwing tear gas at the rioters. But the egocentric reporters feel it was being thrown at them personally, and for "evil" purposes.

Being told to turn off the lights isn't suppressing the press. The lights A) ruin the officer's night vision and B) make them better targets. Since people started shooting at the officers the first day, I wouldn't want the lights on me either if I was an officer there.

who BUM RUSHES a cop after the cop says DONT WALK IN MIDDLE of the DRIVEWAY where cars are going AFTER HULKING THUG robs a store and manhandles a person?

YES
