LM9

Also I was only defending the facebook pictures, because as I stated later they aren't pics I dont see often. Him stealing from the store is completely different. Even with that you don't know the whole story with the store owner but thats unrelated legally anyways. I really don't feel like arguing anything further, just trying to make a few points before you jump to a conclusion. Just keeping you open minded Am I the only one that realized LM9 just joined today, this morning, and ALL he's posted in is this thread defending Brown? I smell troll. I've Looked on this site for a while watching build logs n stuff for a when I got bored. Never really had anything to post since my build was nothing fancy so I didn't bother making an account.

I repeat I'm neutral, just trying to help you not jump to a conclusion But... Actually they just recently stated in the autopsy that the bullet that grazed his arm COULD have hit him from behind him. And if I remember this correctly witnesses said he turned around and the cop kept shooting and missing some shots. So MAYBE he realized he wasn't going to get away and tried to give up? So he turned and tried to get down? He didn't exactly look like he ran a 4.2 40, I'm sure he doubted he could outrun bullets once the cop started firing

What exactly are you saying? I'm just trying to understand the point your trying to make. It seems as though you are determined to try to paint a negative image of this kid. But for what? Pics with teenagers putting up middle fingers is normal in this age group, or at least something I've seen plenty of... And posts about wanting to shoot cops for killing their friend in what at least they view in a unjustified manner wouldn't surprise me out of any person, and I'm sure nobody is worried about them since about 99.9% chance that they wont act on those ideas. And honestly even in my opinion he doesn't look too much nicer in the school pic than any of the other ones lmao. But that was a serious question though, what exactly are you trying to prove? Edit - I guess I'm saying he looks like a normal teenager to me If you took the time to read my other posts in this thread you would see where I said both parties probably hold some blame in this matter. The pictures above show the same media sensationalism about an innocent black youth gunned down by police, as what happened during the trayvon Martin case. Why can't CNN or MSNBC use the pictures that show who Brown really was? It's horrible that someone lost their life, no matter the scenario, but c'mon. Your right, Im sure he played a role. All I'm saying is Im sure nobody looked at this kid as baby jesus when they showed his picture on CNN. Even after I looked at all the pics that you posted, MY perception of him didnt change. But I don't know maybe because those pictures on social media are nothing abnormal to me. Innapropriate - Yes Out of the ordinary - No

I'm not defensive, I don't know what happened. I don't look at it as he was racist, I've seen officers escalate situations higher than they need to be just cause it seems like they were having a bad day. They are people to. I'm just against the idea that pulling some pics off of his facebook helps you determine his true character. I mean look at rappers now a days, how many of them do you really believe to be homicidal drug king pins? But they sure can paint a helluva picture of it

Possible theory.Did they show any pics of blood spattered all over the inside of the cop car? And the autopsy report i read they stated that the bullets didn't seem to be shot from very close range since there was no gun powder present on his body

This. And people are stating their opinion on what they think happened in this case as if it is fact. The evidence in this case like other cases are just a living man's word vs what you can decipher from a dead mans body. The kid may or may not be a saint, but same goes for the cop. So the argument that since he seems aggressive so he must have decided to physically attack a man who, as common knowledge would tell you, can kill you without hesitation and get away with it just because the cop said so can be the same argument used against the cop. Since police officers in general have a history of aggressive behavior, and are probably trained to make quick decisions and stick with it. And a witness said that the cop attacked him. It makes more sense that he tried to run, at least initially. Edit - So the point im making is all this background checking people are doing is essentially useless
