Well, probably not, but the comments would be less accurate.

one of the shots could have grazed him while he ran, according to the news conference

if he hadn't run away, he would still be lying next to the police car

he punched the cop and ran,,,,obvious from where he was found

whats in contention is what he was doing when he was shot

giving up, or 'charging'....

No racism at all in my statement.

Ghetto hos and their rats come in all colors.

This one just happens to be black.

whats in contention are facts and myths.

FACT

1.one party was a trained officer who had a suspect resisting arrest, an officer who had previously received an award because he was able to RESTRAIN a suspect in a successful arrest.

2.(alleged, as the cause cant really be proven after the fact)
as a result of the resistance the officer had an eye injury

3.one party was a large teen who had resisted arrest

4.the trained officer had a gun

5.the large teen resisting arrest did not

6. the large teen died from a gun shot wound to the TOP OF HIS HEAD



those are facts

in contention was whether this was justified due to the officer being 'charged at' by the unarmed but LARGE Teen,,,

or whether this was unjustified due to the deceased no longer being a threat but instead being a surrendering citizen

Addedly, the midget the corpse could have hurt very badly, won't have to worry about him strongarm robbing him again.

Making the world a happier and safer place.

A 6"4" nearly-300-pound adult committed strong-arm robbery shortly before punching a lone police officer in the face, taunting the officer and rushing at the police officer.

The claim that the aforementioned adult was not dangerous because he didn't have a weapon is a claim that is incorrect.

Also, being that the aforementioned adult had already attacked the police officer once, the officer had just cause to believe that the aforementioned adult was going to attack again.

nah, no more than a dead chauvinist or bigot makes a great impact on the 'happiness' of the world


but perhaps to some of the more heartless of those they annoy or offend , their death wouldn't exactly seem tragic,,,,,

not sure about all the wounds being in the front... I thought one was in the back of the arm as if he was running away not sure then turned around ...tried to put hands up but officer started to shoot him ...did he charge the officer not sure ... but the one bullet from the back could have made him turn ... it will be about the distance and the wounds in front and back or all wounds in front ... not sure ... but again why would he charge at the officer ... I don't get that except the only way the officer could say he was threaten and shot him ... they should be able to tell that by the wounds and how they went into his body ... saying anything for sure right now is pure speculation ... may he R.I.P ... and the city has help now for peaceful actions and helping stop the theft ...

according to the Sketch,all the wounds are in front!
And two of them are inconsistent with the claim that he either had his Hans up,or was on his Knees with his hands up!
Hope there soon will be peace again in that Community,and things goint to turn for the better!

Fact
1. The officer had record of being a quite peaceful policeman.
2. The 18 y/o man had just robbed a store and assaulted the clerk.
3. The 18 y/o man,6'4, 300 lbs. assaulted the policeman causing
serious injury to the officers eye socket.
4. The 18 y/o man attempted to leave the scene after the assault.
5. The 18 y/o man was facing the officer when he was shot
his arms were down, not in the air.
6. The officer reacted in self defense and as he was trained to do.
7. The 18 y/o Thug was prevented from causing further harm to the
officer or anymore innocent people.
8. Thug thief, high on pot is dead.
9. The neighborhood is a safer place.(except for rioting, stealing and looting)
10. Witnesses statements were not accurate or true.

Speaking of bigots.
The world will be a much better place without the likes of Fairycsn and Notsosharpton.

'Blacks' are not one single, unified, centrally controlled Borg collective of people; so I'm not sure what you mean by saying 'blacks' should clean up their behavior. Many, many black people have always behaved well and have nothing to clean up. And many who behaved poorly in the past, have cleaned up their behavior.

I'm all for criticising individuals and well-defined groups that have earned the criticism, but with (oops, edit) 45 million black americans you can't criticize 'blacks' as a whole group without ending up being wrong. Just wrong.

Setting that aside - the comment was basically saying that 'some people's lives are not valuable, because others like them are making lots of babies'. I mean, seriously.

Are you honestly saying that you think its okay to imply that an entire group of people - whether defined by race, or class, or region, or living circumstance, or whatever - that their lives lack value? That its no matter that he's dead, he's 'easily replaced' ?

This kind of thinking is just as responsible for fuelling the race hatred in this country as some of the lies that some of the black activists spread.

Willing, I can easily imagine that you said what you said for shock value. I just don't believe that you mean what you said nor what you implied - that having lots of kids makes it okay for us to devalue the individual lives of a collection of people.


Edit: But I'm concerned about the consequences of that kind of talk. I'm angry at and frustrated with many black leaders and anti-racists activists lately, and angry about the crime in black neighborhoods, and about the distorted ways that some black leaders and media people treat the related issues. But when people make exaggerated statements like that, it just feeds into the agendas of those who feed off of the hatred, and fear, and mistrust.

Do we know how far he was at the time he was shot? I mean, are we talking 15'? 40'?

If I had said that about a white dead thug, nothing would be said about it.

Alleging I am white, my statement is wrongly perceived as bigoted or racist.

The idiot chose to steal. He chose to manhandle a midget. He chose to assault a cop.

He not only had no value for the live4s or well being of others, hw had no value for his own life.

Why should we place a value on his?

Banger deserved what he asked for.

Because we should do the right thing even if others are doing the wrong thing.

I am doing the right thing.

Are you?

If we were talking about a dead white person, and you said "I wouldn't sweat the dead turd. ghetto hos be steady pumpin out mo rabid rats who'll take fat boys place today." or anything similar, most people would recognize this as a hurtful thing to say; a thing that encourages people to hate other groups.

Race need not apply, there is some *group* which is described to be 'pumpin out mo rabit rats', so its still devaluing the lives of a group of people.




Well I remembered how you explained your use of the word feral, when I asked you about it a long time ago; so I figured you didn't see this as a racist thing to say, but that doesn't change how its perceived.



That's different. I'm not crying over this *******. Being comfortable with his death because of his hateful actions is totally different than suggesting we be comfortable with the deaths in a group cause they have lots of kids. Again, I just don't believe that you meant that and I'm not trying to belabor it, but since you seem to be defending it...

To the best of my knowledge that information hasn't been released yet. Estimates can be made from the amount of gunpowder residue on Brown's body and clothing. The gunpowder measure obviously only works for fairly close ranges. The fact that multiple shots were fired at different ranges complicates things even more. A progression of powder residues would indicate a moving target, either towards or away from the gun.

If for example the gunshot wound to the skull had a lot of powder, it would indicate the wound was close to the gun when fired. If the hand and arm wounds show little powder, it would indicate the gun was proportionately farther away. Testimony would tell which shots were fired first although it should be pretty obvious the bullet that went into the skull was the last.
