Ferguson Cop

Do you believe the correct decision was made for those of you who know something about it?

Well, I mean I think he should have at least gone to trial, but I don't know if he should be convicted of murder. As a police officer, he goes out every day to do dangerous tasks. Everyone is saying that there was racism involved, but in low income neighborhoods with minorities, crime does have a higher rate. I don't completely blame the officer for making a mistake.

 

Media sensationalism is just plain disgusting. The guy literally got into a fist fight with the police officer but of course the big media like FOX News likes to use their handy dandy thesaurus and use the least offensive word possible and say that they were in a "scuffle". The officer shot at close range obviously in self defense. But "Police Officer Defends Himself in Fist Fight" doesn't sell as well as "Unarmed Innocent Black Teenager Shot by White Man"

 

The best part is when they put up the pictures of the kid when he was in like, 6th grade. Then you see a recent picture of the motherfucker on 4chan throwing gang signs and shit. The people who should be put on trial are the reporters and the vandals.

 

This shit makes me so mad. I haven't really followed this too far so I don't have much weight in my response but would like to get into this.

If he truly shot him 10 times, something should be done about it. That's quite obvious.

But to riot and riot like this? What does it do? They're rioting and BREAKING LAWS which defies their whole stance in the beginning.

Stating racism is a part in this is absurd. Only reason racism is still around is because teachers/professors bring it up nearly every other days in classes. I get that slavery is history, but why the need to talk about racism and how it's around today? We live in it so I don't see the point of talking about it. It just keeps it around.

 

If somebody throws hand signs, the cop can shoot them? really?

 

Yes, that's exactly what I said. Also, you can shoot them if their left arm is slightly longer than their right arm as well.

What I'm saying is the media is purposely trying to make this a race issue, just like any other time someone defends themselves against someone in a protected group. Showing the thug's sixth grade picture and saying that he was shot while unarmed when he was really a giant motherfucker trying to murder law enforcement with his own weapon is purposely causing more violence for the sake of being able to report on the violence later.

 

I honestly don't know how i feel about this case, but it's quite apparent that the media has made it look so much worse than it is, not showing the real side of the story, i don't believe racism was involved in this case either, although they are rioting saying it was a "racist" attack, i don't even know.

 

Racism will always exist.

Peaceful protesting won't do shit, let them riot.

And.. Why the fuck is this in SFA?

 

This is true. This turned into another case of media alarmists making stories bigger than they actually are for ratings. Now there is an entire group of black people that have been whipped into some sort of insane frenzy and causing more harm to the cause than good.

This kid isn't a martyr or a hero, he was a thug who attacked a law enforcement officer.

 

terrible decision, given what I've seen of the case he should have been prosecuted 100x over.

 

Then you heard slanderous bullshit. The"victim" was literally fighting the cop.

He was not shot in the back or any of the other rumors. The reason this information wasnt released earlier was to differentiate who actually saw stuff and who is just spouting hearsay bullshit.

Turns out there were very few legitimate eye witnesses. The dead man was a thug, a bully and a theif and thats just what he did THAT day. He got what he deserved, glad they didnt railroad that cop. He'll still have to move and uproot his family over this bs. If it were a black cop who shot him it would be a non issue, but people needlessly tried to make this into a Trayvon Martin type thing.

 

show me a few legit sources were any of this is stated and I'll re-evaluate my analysis.

I know plenty of thugs, bullies and thieves, are they dicks? yes. Do they deserve to die? Probably not.

 

Here is just some of the evidence: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/11/25/us/evidence-released-in-michael-brown-case.html

The "eye witnesses" contradicted themselves and each other. Physical evidence contradicted what they said. They changed their stories. They said that they did not actually saw it but had heard someone tell them what happened. All of the physical evidence backs up the cops story, that a shot was fired at close range inside the car as they were fighting. Another shot was fired as the guy was charging the cop outside of the car. This is an open and shut case. There should have never even been a grand jury. It is blatantly obvious that the shooting was completely legitimate. The media just wants to make it an issue so that people watch it. People are just fucking retarded and racist and social warriors and refuse to accept facts. This case is fucking retarded and the family are racist fucks that think that the whites are out to get them. They are inciting violence so fuck them and fuck the rioters.

 

If he was really shot 10 times, thats fucked up.

 

He was not.

When Brown was charging him he shot until he was no longer a threat.

 

He was shot at least 6 times. If this was self defense, why would 6 shots be necessary? That showed the intent to kill, and not to injure.

 

bullshit man. Quite shocked so many of you are siding with the police officer here. As far as I'm aware, he was shot at least 6 times while unarmed. Throw the race argument out the window and this is still a flagrant abuse of power which is ended in the death of a teenager.

 

@Aria your comments are still honestly quite ignorant. First off he robbed the store which was the first issue. Breaking the law does that warrant death no. But if he hadn't robbed the store would have never been in the situation in the first place. Second is he charged an officer and I would've shot him too. It has nothing to do with race people just make it about race fact is he broke the law. This is also coming from someone whom is half black and half Caucasian so the race card has nothing to do with it. Then on top of that ignorance from the community they tear up the town which is also breaking the law and solves nothing. It was honestly self inflicted from the young teenager that died if he didn't rob the store or charge the cop he would still be here and if you'd like to go down the race road it's honestly stupid. If it was a black cop and a black thug or a white cop and a white thug wouldn't even make the news.

 

Ignorance? I think you confuse this with hundreds of years of racial hatred which has eventually boiled over (again)

Did I not say anyway throw the race card out the window? I don't see how that makes me ignorant. I couldn't care what colour the kid was it was still a wrongful act.

Show me one piece of solid proof he charged at the officer?
