On Saturday, Michael Brown, 18, was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis. The Ferguson Police Department has asserted that Brown assaulted the officer, whose name has not yet been released. Eyewitnesses, however, have disputed that claim and said Brown was killed while attempting to surrender or flee.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny thing is that if the police account is true, then the cop who shot him is a hero and why wouldn't they release his name? After all he did attack a police officer with his bare hands, in a moving vehicle with an armed officer of the "law."
Shot him multiple times, and even shot him in the back, according to witness accounts.

Accounts vary greatly, so the autopsy will be important in determining the truth.
Regardless, use of deadly force seems uncalled for here.
The rioting which followed accomplishes absolutely nothing though.

Is this the one who's mommy complained that after raising her child to beat up or assault armed police officers, she is surprised that that is a lethal activity to pursue? The hospital treated the officer for facial injuries, probably obtained while the thug was running away from the officer, I suppose?
Not releasing an officer's name (plus temporarily placing any officer on desk duty or paid administrative leave) is a common aftermath of any officer involved shooting. Any department that did release such info would likely be sued.
Another???
Like who??
Was this one also carrying burglary tools, high on weed, attempting to murder the officer, possessing a lengthy rap sheet, and otherwise working to be a drain on society?

I'm sure all those morons from Bundy Ranch will be on the scene. Any. Fucking. Second. Now.
Sure they will.
Where are all you gun pussies now? When the pigs tried to collect legally-owed taxes from a white guy, y'all had a bitch fit.
Strange that you're so silent when it's just another black kid murdered by the pigs.
On second thought, that's not strange at all, is it?

Stranger still is the silence from Jesse & Al at all the black on black violence.

Logical fallacy
try to find which one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies
You and the other right whingers failed miserably at simple counting. Worse, when you were TOLD the numbers in the news, you failed to notice the glaringly discrepant graphic, cause, yanno, it showed what a miserable failure Obamacare was and that's all you wanted to know. That hit your gloat with a satisfying plop. And you literally couldn't see the facts.
But that's all in the past. Maybe you can redeem yourself by learning a little logic.
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

I'm going to ignore your usual Bullshit, and give you some facts instead, why don't we try that for a change.
He was an 18 year old, no arrest or conviction record, about to enter vocational college (I believe it was an engineering school). Once again, unarmed, who's only "crime" was that he was walking in the street with a friend.
I had not heard of the officer being treated for any wounds, but the young man who died was shot in the back (according to witnesses) and when he went down, held his hands up in the universal "surrender" position and the officer proceeded to shoot 6 more times. Two witnesses, who do not know each other, provided the almost identical account of the shooting.
Another?
A mentally challenged young man, unarmed, was shot dead by a LA officer, again, no reason was given, except that he was shot after being beaten by 2 cops. No further information was given as to why he was beaten or why he was shot. This happened on Monday.
Regardless of skin color, or any other info about the young man. It makes me wonder what was so terrible about a mentally ill young man that the police felt the need to use deadly force.
As of tonight, 2 reporters were arrested in Ferguson, MO for doing their job. What do the police have to hide in Ferguson? Police have appeared in full riot gear after Saturday's looting spree. I agree that looting should be punished to the full extent of the law, but the only reason why there aren't more dead black people in Ferguson is because there are 1000 news outlets that have descended upon them.
Looters and rioters should be arrested and tried by a judge and jury, not shot by a self-appointed executioner. That's not how it works in America. Maybe during the times when Hitler was the big man in town, but not in this country. During the height of the Nazi regime people were often shot on site and left to bleed out in the middle of the street in broad daylight, but not in America. If an officer is assaulted and injured during an arrest, he must follow a procedure, one that he is trained for.
You don't get to shoot someone because you got a boo boo. Not in America.

SGG - Yes, there's the official police story, and then there's the eye witness accounts of what happened. The officer said that the young man reached for his gun and a struggle ensued. One witness said that the cop, who was driving, pulled his gun out and threatened to kill Brown. Why did the officer draw his gun? Brown was unarmed.
Regardless, use of deadly force seems uncalled for here.
SGG - True that. He was shot in the back while running away, and then raised his hands in "surrender" and was shot several times (6 or 7 times). Excessive deadly force.
The rioting which followed accomplishes absolutely nothing though.
SGG - I agree, it does not help matters at all.

Seems he was late coming in from his morning round of golf. 12:40 is now the target for his Oneness to speak.
