Was the teen shot by an officer?

Was the teen shot by an officer?

Yes.

 

[Obsessed]

Yes.

Damn.

Guess I'll look this one up. I'm not familiar with Missouri

Thanks burhead.

 

[Burhead]

The police scanner sounds chaotic.

 

[Obsessed]

Did some reading.

Sounds like the cops are letting them blow off some steam. Got a little nasty with a scuffle and a person was shot and killed. ( the guy assaulted the cop)

Guess we will have to wait this one out for more info.

The police scanner sounds chaotic.

They sound like they are going to be busy.

Hope everything goes ok.

The local news station was showing a live feed of looters ransacking a tire store it's crazy watching it live. For some reason police units so far haven't moved in with force.

It's best not to I would think. Things will only escalate. Right?

I have no sympathy for people who violate law and order, destroy and damage property, and looting. If you want to protest peacefully I'm fully supportive, once you cross the line I support police operations in this instance.

They'd scatter if the police moved in with good numbers.

 

[Burhead]

Looks like the scanner feed crapped out, probably security related.

I would imagine so, but there would more blood shed I would think.

I understand.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

I guess these looters don't have to be at work in the morning. Waiting on the fires to start.

RT is eating this one up.

I wish Americans would realize that they're all in it together. The rest of the world only makes fun of you.
