The current can of worms

[zavalza]

So media is evil... But media released the information saying the police account of the facts as well as the phone call from his friend (whoever that was).

Media definitely plays a role on issues, no doubt, but this is not about the media. Yesterday in live footage the cops were pointing guns at people that were not destroying anything and move to arrest people even when they were not doing anything except yell at a safe distance. As everybody else I want to wait for facts about Brown's case, but the response from the police to the protests has been incredibly dumb, both ways. First no reaction, then overreaction.

2 wrongs don't make a right.

agree

Like the rest of you, I don't know the whole story, but i do know this.

1 - The officer of 6 years has a good unmarred record.

2 - The Deceased (although a minor) was a BIG thug.

3 - If you are walking away from a crime (Strongarm Robbery) down the middle of the street, you are looking for a confrontation.

4 - A Police Officer is responsible to make sure that he gets to go home to his family at the end of his shift.

5 - If the situation ever gets so bad that you have to shoot someone, don't stop until the threat is stopped.

6 - The Police allowing rioters to destroy property, beat up people and steal other peoples goods, without doing anything about it, That's wrong.

7 - Peaceful demonstrations are an expression of the people and should not be restricted.

Just my two cents worth

...officer could have shot the knees of his attacker instead of the head to stop him....

Haven't been there, have you? You don't shoot to kill... or wound... you shoot at center mass to stop the threat. The fact that there were two head shots just means... to me... that the officer missed center mass. :lecturef_smilie:

 

[Bob Denman]

Amen! :thumbup: Center of mass. It's the size of a soccer ball; much easier to hit in a stressful situation! :shocked:
And I sincerely hope that you never have to find this out! :2thumbs:

it amazing how fast

since when does anyone have a right to riot & loot during a protest?
To start with i would like to know how many times previously this innocent little child has been arrested
for robbery, i'm sure that was not his first time but i am sure it is his last.
When an officer tells you to do something you do it, why do some decide to disobey a lawful order &
get upset when it escalates badly for them?

I learned a while ago, don't argue with a cop, do that with a judge, just record anything that happens
with the officer so you have the proof you need.

Peaceful protest is fine, riot and you lose all right. Waving a upside American migh iduce me to shoot. End of rant, if I am allowed to stay opn here.

Listen; if you'd take Bloomberg off of our hands, and move him to Ohio; I'm pretty sure that we can work out a trade for something! :2thumbs:

 

[bluestratos]

The ire at the death of the young man is just an excuse to vent at the system. If I had to patrol (and I never would) in that crap hole of a place I would have a hair trigger as well. I did some research and I am sorry to say it is a lost cause. Residents say they hear gun fire 3-4 times a week! It takes a special person to put on a uniform and go to work in that environment.

Since the minority is the majority they should elect a African American Mayor & police force (is African American still politically correct, I can keep up with it). If you don't like the system, fix the system.

Keep Bloomberg out of Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bmccaffrey]

It's a know win situation. If he's not charged riots will probably brek out through out the country. If he's charged which he probably will be even if he's innocent they are pacifying looking for a scapegoat.
I don't consider my self a racist have had plenty of black friends. This may get me kicked off the site but I don't care. I don't owe the black people or afro american what ever they want to call themselves anything. Im not responsible for what my ancestors or anyone elses did years ago maybe we should include the Indians. They perhaps have the biggest gripe. This has gotten carried away also CHANGE THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS.REALLY!!! These people need to be held accountable for their actions no matter Race.
Always looking for excuses RACE IS NOT AN EXCUSE.

CLOSED NO REBUTTAL. SORRY IS WHAT IT IS!!!!!!

I've heard a lot of very responsible voices for the community saying pretty much the same thing...

It's a shame that it happened; the young man truly was the author of his own misfortune... :shocked:

One thing is for sure, he did not get shot coming out of church, feel bad for his family but his actions were going to kill him sooner or later, either by police or robbing the wrong guy

 

[Bob Denman]

Keep Bloomberg out of Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about if you take Bloomberg, and give me $6,800...
I'll make sure that you get an Elio; once they start production! :shocked:

No Bloomberg. Not even if you gave me the 68-hundred. Bloomberg probably thinks an Elio is a new handgun and will have his minions work to get it banned.

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

what is all this crap about bloomberg? yes he is a billionaire & we are not, yes helped keep the crime rate down, yes he is trying to make people healthier & maybe be less of a drain on our healthcare system and yes he took only $1 as yearly salary for his very full time job & used public transportation. Besides all that really didn't do much of anything good for the city

 

[Bob Denman]

As much as I don't like the guy for his views on personal freedoms; he actually was a very effective Mayor... :clap:
