I'm all for justice. I'm all for freedom but I also know the cops have a hard job. A stressful job. I know they aren't without faults and I am all for the bad ones receiving justice but you're gonna have a hard time convincing me that

1) a cop with his reputation, lack of a record, and even decorated for his service is going to fly off the handle and shoot a guy without good reason.

2) there is no recording of this event that happened in broad daylight in an apartment complex.

I guess I'm confused at the cause of anger here.

Is it that the cop himself is racist, or is it that this particular event itself in a vacuum is racially motivated?

If the former, I would think there should be a pattern people would be pointing to.

If the latter, it would need to be shown that if the suspect was white, or the cop black, this would have never happened.

I just don't get it I guess.

The anger is directed at white people and cops, but mainly white people. There is a misconception that white folks are gunning down black folks in record numbers.

Sadly it is black folks gunning down other black folks in record numbers. No one is protesting that now are they?:whistling:

From what I have read on twitter the angry crowd is very loud and ridiculous.

They think he simply stood there with his hands up and was executed.

It seems at this point nobody really knows it's simply he said she said with conflicting info.

The local police definitely botched this case though.

If there ends up being multiple gunshots to the front with one being closer range than the other (i.e., he kept moving towards the cop as described in the background of that video), I can't wait to see how the black community explains/justifies their marches and protests. On the other hand, if he was only shot from behind, then there may be justification for the outrage. (although I still think it is a bad case to make a stand when the guy just robbed a convenience store).

Facts won't matter in this. It could be showed Brown was holding a detonator for a nuclear bomb ready to go off in his neighborhood and the masses won't care.

To the non-ignorant they do. Why do you think they were so mad about the video of the robbery being released? They knew they would lose support for their cause.

I know people who are intelligent but just lapped up the shooting in the back in cold blood like dogs. It killed me to see that they were so anti law enforcement that they jumped on the police brutality wagon so quickly. Then when asked for the video from a witness they deflected. They shut up when the news was confirmed he was a suspect in a strong arm robbery.

And turned right around and ignored it by protesting the very same night and holding their hands up and screaming "don't shoot."

Facts will be ignored and marginalized by the ones they go against.

I don't think the people described above would fall within my non-ignorant qualification.

They'll just say he walked up on him shooting him and the last shot was execution style with him on his knees.

Any forensic facts that come out in this case that do not fit the "protesters" narrative will be conveniently ignored.

Apparently doj is asking for a federal autopsy. Apparently they didn't like what the initial one found so they have to distort the truth for the political angle.
