AND left laying there for 4 hours like a damn dog that's not a race thing either....people get left in the street for hours after a homicide all the time. No matter the color. As for "karkov's" statement, believe me, in Sacramento, if you attack a cop and try to take his gun you will be dead or very badly injured quick. No matter the color. The most powder puff albino white guy on the planet will end up the same as any other race. there is more to the story and it will come out. And then they will burn and loot again.....if there is anything left.5 points

i can't wait for these dumb ass motherfuckers to wake up one day in the next few weeks hungry, thirsty and in need of basic goods such as toilet paper......and realize there is no stores. Eat a leaf, shit a leaf, wipe with a leaf. Even the dumbest dog is smart enough not to shit in his own kennel. I hope they never reopen those stores. If i owned a business there i wouldn't. Let them get a ride 50 miles to the nearest 7-11. And don't tell me it was all outsiders. I saw the video's. Might be a few but, no doubt it was 99% locals. They don't care about that kid, they just want to do what they do best...act like mindless thugs and opportunistic THIEVES. Enjoy your tore up city. and we STILL don't know whether or not he actually attacked the officer first. I am still waiting to see myself. Regardless, why can't everyone be upset that ANY PERSON got killed by the police (if he was in fact innocent)? Why does EVERY fucking thing have to be about race? Reading some of the asinine comments on the internet about this situation makes me sick.5 points

shooting your way into a store with 100 other savages and laughing having a good time destroying and steeling everything in sight is really a great way to grieve. Sorry, i just hate thieves so much. I also hate race-baiters. the situation is just sickening.4 points

I skimmed over this thread, and the race thing keeps coming up. It pisses me off. I grew up in a city full of hispanic and asian gangs, and guess who the cops shot all the time? Hspanics and asians. Now, I live in a very nice city. It is mostly white, but guess who the drug dealers and trash are? Whites. Guess who gets beat down here? Whites. Its all demographics and statistics in my eyes. I hope you all get the just of my statement, so I don't have to try and put my confusing thoughts into words.3 points

I got a criminal record, and both of my brother's have criminal records. Now, my youngest brother only has posts of weed and beer bottles, no guns or gang signs. My brother who just came home from prison back in June only has pics of him in suits and ties and shit. My facebook only has my kids. I wouldn't go judging someone's social media page for their true character.3 points

Shit like this is why retards get beaten, tasered, and shot. Protip: The place to fight the police is IN COURT not on the streets while trying to "keep it real". If you take on a 90 IQ steroid freak with a badge and gun and dozens of friends who are the same you will lose. Honestly I have a couple friends that are in law enforcement and I can tell you that even decent guys after a few years of 40+ hour weeks dealing with the absolute dregs of humanity get a bit jaded, so even the "decent" ones can give you trouble if you go out of your way to be an asshole or win an argument with them. (And yes, I can count my cop friends so it's easier to keep track of them). Do not provoke them, do not run, do not make threatening gestures or fast unexpected movements. "I want to speak to a lawyer" should be the only words you say to them beyond identifying yourself.2 points

Let's assume for a minute that the cop goes down for murder 1. The "celebration" would look about the same as what's happening now. As far as "waiting on all the facts" I'm calling bullshit on that line. I'm quite confident everyone has made up their mind by now and that is just translation for "I'm just waiting on facts that support what I've already decided before I say what I think in public". For those waiting on the "facts", what precisely will you accept as "facts" if they contradict what you are expecting? We're already on the THIRD autopsy, which leads me to believe that somebody is fishing for some facts that they like a little better than the original ones. Is everyone willing to agree that what our legal system decides is "fact"? We had better, collectively, if we enjoy the rule of law and civilization. I will distrust the government more often than not, but the alternative to accepting the rule of law is barbarism.2 points

If you think that black folks have the monopoly on being mistreated by police you are sadly mistaken. If you're up for some reading PM me for stories so that we don't hijack the thread, or just ask around, as I'm sure almost everybody here has a story or ten. The social engineers manipulating these events in the media are about one thing, a totalitarian world socialist government. Socialism is the religion of victims and requires dependency to control the mob. Socialists want EVERYONE to be a victim, helpless, dependent, and without faith (ie. in fear). This is all part of the plan and the vast majority of the masses are following along like sheep to the slaughter.1 point

Philly cops are fucked up anyway. The last time I was down there I was working at Sungard on Broad street. I got stopped because I was walking at 3 am and I was white. Now I know the area isnt the best since I couldnt even get a cab to stop but just because Im walking at 3am doesnt mean I'm up to no good. And I'm as white as they come.1 point

As a black man i have been harrassed by the police for no reason many times... Thats just comes with being black. I was pulled over in an all white suburb once ...frisked .. car searched and given a ticket for " driving with no apparent destination" Court threw that right out ofcourse. I wanted to call them every name in the book... but instead I followed the cops commands and let my lawyer deal with anything else... I am not giving the cops any reason to shoot me down or beat me down or lock me up for some fake charge. Usually if you treat them with respect and dont let them goad u into anything...all you have with them is a polite conversation.1 point

You have more faith in people than I do.not faith, hope. Point taken. I hope that the city will regain it's senses, stop this nonsense, and respect the court's decision whatever it may be. Having seen the things I have in war, my faith in humanity as a whole has been fairly shaken. It's just hard to have faith when you see how evil people act towards each other because of their differences, case in point Ferguson.1 point

Well we may disagree their slightly, in my opinion, it's much harder working that 9-5 job for a small paycheck,insurance, house payments, utilities and worrying about various other bills, feeding and clothing the kids and such. Plus have to protect and worry about someone taking your shit. Not that easy when you think about it. Majority of hard working americans make just enough to get buy on. You should know if your a parent, trying to make your kids understand the right way of living. When they see thugs and criminals not working, selling drugs and such, with a boat load of cash. new cars, gold dripping of there chains etc. I hear you, but I grew up poor and now I got a little something none of that shit is a worry for me. As far as my kids, there is basically nothing illegal they can get past me and they are actually really good so, like I said I don't worry about those things. I hear ya, we grew up poor, dirt poor in an all black neighborhood till i was 15, and moved to an average diverse neighborhood. My father was shot while a liquor store was being robbed, a group of people ran out and two where shot, mistaken by a black rookie officer. My father was shot in the back of the neck, severing his jugular vein artery. Then falling on a old style short picketed fence, which pierced his chest. But they said he died from the gunshot wound. And the officer was not prosecuted, they called it an accidental shooting. No am i angry and bitter about this, hell yea. But that does not give me the right to hate blacks or police officers. There is good and bad in all walks of life. And just because we may be poor and bitter, is no justification, to go out and take from others or commit crimes. It is our past and our common sense which shapes our lives. And though i may have had it ruff as a youth, it is those things that helped me to strive forward so my children would not have to grow up in these situations. And yes i know bad things happen in all neighborhoods, but they are less likely to happen in a responseable neighborhood. Now my youngest daughter is still very angry and in therapy from her fiance was killed 2 yrs ago, by a gang banger shooting up the neighborhood, just because he and his group of friends where not allowed into a new years party. But even she knows, you can not judge a group, by an individuals action. Well, I'm gonna be honest and maybe I'm wrong but I don't think you like black people. I'm not here to defend any race since at the end of the day I am more spanish than anything. But I'm sure the people in your neighborhood wouldn't allow you to hangout on the corner. Where I'm from, that's where the party is. If you did grow up in a bad black neighborhood you should be able to tell the difference between a wanna be thug and a real killer. Real killers aren't posting on social media. Whether or not your telling the truth about your past, it seems like you have an answer to everything and there's nothing for you to learn from another human. Well it's obvious you have selective reading disorder, and just like SOME of the protester, you only hear what you want to hear, and enjoy nothing but conflict. Now as far as saying i dont like black people, well 1 of my grandkids is biracial. And 2 of the 5 of my best freinds are black, and would most likely knock your teeth out for making that comment. Your comment couldn't be more absurd. And as far as my heritage, yes i'm sure i have some european in my ancestry down the line. But i am native american, thank you very much. I like and dislike all races the same. And for you to make the comment that i dont like black people, only shows your true racial bias way of thinking. Now as far as hanging out on the corner partying as you say, no i'm to old and mature for that. We get together at houses or garage parties. The corner is where the immature kids hang out, not the adults. So you can continue to party on the corner with the kids if you like, and i will party at the homes of friends. As for your comparison of a killer and thug. I hate to tell you, most of the time you wouldn't know who is a killer, or who has that killer instinct. Now for my past, i couldnt give a rats ass if you believe me or not. I have no reason, nor does it benefit me in any way to lie.My past is my past, and has made me who i am today. Now as far as having an answer for everything goes. It's called age, experience, and common sense. And if i live to be a 100, there will still be many questions that i will have as far as life and people. It seems to me, you still have a chip on your shoulder, since you constantly want to argue. I tried to have a civilizes conversation with you, but that wasn't good enough. Remeber those who usually are quick to throw out the racist card ( which you did with your black comment) are usually the ones who are truely the racist themselves.1 point

Just thought I'd throw this out there: I come from a multiracial family, in more ways than one. My brother and I are both adopted from separate families. We grew up like any brothers do, busting each other's balls and giving our parents Hell, but I love the little shit like he's my blood. I was 5 when he came home for the first time, been there for most of his life, he had his first beer with me and my friends that took him in like THEIR little brother. I'm caucasian, German/Irish/Cherokee, but fairly dark skinned and have been mistaken for being hispanic/middleeastern/all kinds of shit if I spend a bit of time out in the sun due to how dark I get. My younger brother is hispanic. Both my parents are VERY light skinned. You should see the surprise on people's faces when my parents claim us. My brother grew up in a good neighborhood, largely stayed out of trouble, never had any dealings with officers mistreating him or hassling him because of his race. You can rest assured if anything like that had happened, my father and I would've circled the wagons and gone to war, that's just how my family is. Race is not, and never was an issue in my family. Maybe we're more open minded than most, maybe it's how my father raised us. When you see me comment on race, understand where I'm coming from. I, by definition, can't be a racist. To discriminate against someone because of their race would earn me a swift kick in the ass from my father, and probably my younger brother as well, but mostly I'd just be ashamed of myself. It's not who I am. Quite to the contrary, I expect everyone to work for what they have, and take responsibility for their actions. It is because I'M NOT a racist, that I do not give any race or class of people any slack when they act like the people in Ferguson do. Slavery, discrimination, race, all that shit is a crutch to excuse their actions. If I allow someone that excuse, I'm doing it because of their race, and THAT is racism in my eyes. Everyone just keep in mind that racism works both ways. If someone cut me a break because I was white, even if I profitted from it, I'd still be insulted. I want to stand toe to toe with everone else and suceed because I'm better/harder working/smarter, not because I'm white. Likewise, I want people of every race to suceed because of who they are, not because of what color they are.1 point

THANK YOU. Fucking A, shitty people come in all varieties, why not focus on how fucked the situation is and how it's being handled so poorly. Seriously, MRAPs, LRAD, and tear gas because jackasses who must not have a damn job to go to want to go out and fuck shit up and see what they can get with a 5 finger discount. Watched about 10 minutes of the live feed last night and shut it off, people just milling around in the road talking shit at the cops, and cops then making a wall and forcing everyone off the road and back onto the sidewalk. Then come to find out more shots fired last night and 2 guns confiscated from the tards doing it. https://twitter.com/stlcountypd/status/501628643127205888 Some of the tweets/retweets/whatever to this just....1 point

dont know if its meant with what i post but i did say ghetto people.. we have ghetto Mexicans ghetto Blacks and even Whites.. what gets you shot is your actions not you color.. seen many races get shot by cops.. people need to stop feeling victimized and saying it because its the color of the skin. sometimes it may be but not always the case? when have you heard people being killed by cops in the Good cities where people act responsible? only ones i heard are the ones who are in an act of a crime.. im Hispanic and i dont feel victimized by the cops or burn down my city because Sgt. Smith killed my neighbor. doing such act is taking a step back. people need to use their heads and act like humans and not like criminals.. people wont take you serious and its only making your race look bad.. again, im not talking race specific just in general.. you think i was involved in the protest Mexicans had a month ago and burning the US flag? no i was not. i didn't want part of it as it only makes us look bad as a community.. i refuse to take steps back and we need to make a change by proving we are civilized as a nation I'm just saying that its a complex topic, and people are gonna feel how they feel. i didn't riot in cincinnati when a kid was shot ,cause his pants was sagging and the officer thought he had a gun when he was holding his pants up,while running away! i thought he shoulda wore pants that fit,and not run!but it wasn't about your post or any other post,its just sad period!

It's the ones you don't hear about living in middle class neighborhoods that are your friends and neighbors that move major weight and you never even had a clue they did it till you see them in the news. Girlfriends uncle worked with a guy doing maintenance and a high end apartment complex making $20 an hour always had bad ass cars owned a bunch of houses always said he just invested his money right to get so wealthy off a $20 an hour job well turned out yeah he invested in running a major dope operation he was moving 200lbs of weed every couple weeks. trust me this guy was no thug and you would never suspect he was the type for it dorky as can be and one of the nicest guys you would ever meet would give you the shirt off his back we never even had a clue till he got busted his grown adult kids didn't even know.1 point

I don't think it's harder living the righteous life. Actually it's easier. I don't worry about being robbed jumped or shot. I get GUARANTEED money every 15th and 30th, my kids are hella suburban and don't know shit about missing meals. Yep, living right is way easier bro.1 point

It seems like it's going to be judged on this boy's character more than on what really happened. Truth be told this doesn't affect me since I already know that cops are going to get away with whatever they want, no matter what color the cop is or the victim. We're on one level and law enforcement is above that. It's just this version with the race being what it is makes for better headlines.1 point

when you bum rush someone your head is down and forward of your body ... So a top of the head shot wouldn't be surprising. if his head was down, and he was running towards the cop, wouldn't the shot have exited out the back of his head somewhere? No not necessarily. I can pretty much point you through the shots. When in a rush you tend to slap the trigger leading to a low left. Notice how everything hit him in the right side? That's slapping the trigger. Notice how they got higher and higher. That's lack of recoil control. He rode the recoil walking the shots higher and higher. As a person gets hit you flinch. Head starts to tilt. Shots are being walked up. There's the shot to the face and then as he falls the shot to the top of the head. Now I shall return you to the other shit you all are arguing about.1 point

Sorry guys just not able to post.. wow so much to say.. Let me start off by saying this.. and I think most of us will agree here on this None of us know what went on.. None of us were there. So its not far for ANY of us to make a judgment based on incomplete facts. That's just wrong. While there are going to be some that will not understand nor are educated enough to see we need to see EVERYTHING before a fair judgment could be made you are going to have others that will support BOTH sides ( cop as well as Michael) without knowing anything but solely based on race. I think we also can all agree on this. That "IF" any of us were to have shot and killed a cop and we would be locked up arrested and it would be up to us in order to prove our innocence. No way in hell would we be able sit and wait under protective custody for the prosecutor to gather information until they felt that they had enough to charge us and THEN ARREST US. Within us all you are going to have good apples and bad apples.. Even one bad apple can make the rest of the good apples look bad. While i am not saying that ALL cops are bad which i agree that are not.. there are PLENTY of cops who abuse their authority and violate the rights of American citizens. This has been proven to happen to those who fall within the law. There needs to be some type of consequences for those cops abusing the rights and they should be held to the same standard that WE the American people are held to! Now we move to whats exposed on social media... and how "some" think that social media shows what a person's true character is. I totally disagree with this statement. You cannot judge a person solely on whats on their social media. While i am in no way picking sides i am mearly speaking for myself here. Most people think i am a certain way based on how i am on this form. BUT anyone who will tell you once i am met in person i am the coolest motherfucker you will ever meet and will do anything to help you. That has been proven. Also some of us that are a bit older know that during the time we were 18 we were no angel. fuck if some of you knew some of the shit that i did while i was young most would wonder how i am even here on this earth today. Lets not judge on social media and what pictures you can see there. As a people we will never get anywhere unless we respect one another. while this seems like it will take years to some or never happen i still have hope and will continue to do what I CAN to make that change. We here at this form have seen time and time again what happens when we band together. what happens when we all have a single focus to help people. we have done things on this forum that has gotten national attention.. and race was not included. So lets wait until BOTH sides come out. lets not let the media skew what we think until we see all the FACTUAL information first. we are all better than that.1 point

Just curious. It suddenly occurred to me this guy only has X posts, and they looked like they were all right here. I'm shocked too every article I've read inn CNN about has been quick to point out that a white cop shot a black teen. Finnaly a story not trying to do any race baiting it's amazing. I really would like to know what would have happened if it was a black officer that shot the kid would have even been national news? For some reason I doubt it. Well, I can tell you in NOLA, white kids get shot/the crap beat out of them by black officers all the time, several times during the commencement of Mardi Gras. In case you haven't watched the news, whitey isn't exactly rioting and burning down the city. I think at this point that's what pisses me off about this whole situation. I have faith the truth will come out and justice will be done, but this rioting and back and forth between the police is just nonsense. There's no excuse or justification for it, but people keep on talking about race and how this department full of white cops are just out to keep the black community under their thumb. I'd love to interview the few black officers and see what their take on the situation is. If the department really is overrun with racial intolerance, you'd think they'd be the first to know about it. Kinda makes you think huh?1 point

What that cop did AFTER he got out of the police car was pure murder( REMEMBER THESE OFFICERS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE TRAINED AND SKILL AT THIER KRAFT). Even the chief said that the cop knew nothing about him being a suspect in the shoplifting case. So in all this kid died because he was walking in the middle of the road. Even the chief says the same thing. And i belive is called shoplifting not robbery, there is a difference. ALSO WHAT IF THIS WAS YOUR KID. We as parents can't be with our kids 24/7 but we try to teach them right from wrong. Why did he follow brown after the he shot him the first time? Why did the policeman get out the car and shoots him in the back. Why after Brown got down on his knees with his arms up, still get shot several more times. why haven't they released any video from dash cam, All the cops have to say is " Oh he was reach for the gun" and we should take his word for it.1 point

and while i agree with some of your statements here there is a issue i have with #3.. In this day and age yes most people are trying to record the police and there is a need and reason for it. It has been proven multiple times and shown how the manner of a police officer changes once they see that they are on video. This is a fact! While it may see a little off to you it could just be that no one was there to film what had happened. Plain and simple. I believe that ALL citizens should record the police. For their safety and for proof, because time and time has shown again that police do lie and lie alot. its very hard for them to lie when you have audio and video. glad that there can be a discussion between 2 people who have somewhat different views on things and nobody gets called out their name or gets banned or heated! This is what adult conversation and debate is all about. Now off to buy some ammo1 point

Having lived through, and been part of the relief and rescue mission in NOLA after Hurricane Katrina, I've seen a lot of this crap. Some people are juT flat out opportunistic asshats that think they're entitled to the shit other people pay for and will take anything not bolted or welded in place as soon as the opportunity presents itself. This guy pretty much summed it all up. Share it around.1 point

and the issue that we have with the police these days ( some not all) is that there are no punishment for when they break the law or violate the rights of the American people. Nothing will be done to any of those officers that violated the rights of the media and people that were there and that's what needs to be looked at. When there is no punishment then there is no just cause to change!1 point

I see your point, but you also have to see the officers point. Knowing these protest now a days never turn out peacefull. Hell even after a sports team win's a championship, they do this same shit. And when you are protesting with a mob of people, not permitted, you are breaking the law. Disturbing the peace, intimidating citizens and so on and so on. Let's face it, we all know what it means, when a group of people with a mon mentality are out shouting, No Justice, No peace. You couldn't be more wrong in your thinking sir. I can assure that no permit is needed for any type of protest and there are no permits requested for any of the protesters down there! There are plenty of peaceful protest that happen in the U.S and of course some that are not. What was done there to the innocent people was a disgrace. Not only to the protesters but to the media as well. There was media that was arrested with no charges and then let loose with no paperwork. Not everyone in those crowds had a mob mentality. Police are trained to try to de-escalate the situation and that didn't happen in the situation that i am talking about. You can see the big difference that happened the night AFTER. There were no need for snipers, no need for militarized tanks, no need for hundreds of officers with assault rifles being pointed at peoples heads when they were doing nothing but what the constitution of the United States of America says they have a right to do. While I agree that some of that force was needed for the hostile groups, what happened to those innocent people was a pure violation and if the same thing happened to me you can rest assured that i would have shot back and I'm not talking rubber bullets.1 point
-
The latest I've read is that the police have stopped their tactics against the protestors to let them do their thing, but of course it has to be done peacefully. The moment violence and theft breaks out, I'm all for them using tear gas and rubber bullets. After what happened to the protesters happened ( including the media) then the security was handed over to the state police and the county police was relieved of their duties. They just didn't fire on the peaceful protesters but they did on MEDIA as well.1 point

You are wrong in a few aspects of what you have posted. 1) You don't need any type of permit to get together to voice your opinion. That is your constitutional right to do so 2) Your statement that NONE of the protest was peaceful is completely wrong again! There were many protest that went on that were peaceful and without harm. If I am at a protest and following all the laws that are put into place, NO officer can tell me to go home! I can sit there and voice my opinion as long as they want and when someone of the laws tells me that its time for me to go home then i am going to become upset. When the law forces me to move by hitting me with rubber bullets and gas then I am going to fight back and shoot back with things that they will not be able to get up from. Sorry but you were wrong on both of those points. I didn't bother to read your other points1 point

I dont care for police. Ive yet to meet one, that was decent. Small dicks, with a badge/gun is all ive ever encountered. (absolute power, corrupts absolutly) That said, fuckers running around stealing, and burning shit, in the name of the dead boy,.... makes even less sense to me.....1 point

Like i stated before.. wait until everything comes out. My issue is not what happened to the kid.. he stole so it is what it is there but my even bigger issue was how the local police violated the constitutional right of the "PEACEFUL" ones that were out protesting. Making them leave when it is there constitutional right to protest how ever long they feel. Then when they don't leave they are subject to gas and rubber bullets. I can assure you they would have had to kill me that night. In regards to the video, it's why I made a point of waiting until all the evidence came out as none of us were there. I'm still waiting before I say my peace on that part. I have contacted the local person of the ACLU here to ask them very valid questions. What happens when I am protesting and a office of the law points a sniper rifle or any kind of weapon at me? What happens when I am being told I have to go home at a given time from a person of the law? What happens when I don't bow down to that command and get gassed and hit with rubber bullets? What rights do I have to protect my life when I feel threatened by the law when I am in my constitutional right of doing something?1 point

i can understand people might be upset but i think the biggest thing that drives me insane is those fucking thieves stealing shit....they don't care about the dead guy they are just looking for a reason to steal and get a free come-up. Disgusting.1 point
