Shoot him in the leg!!!
Lollll
You should ask your mommy how police officers are trained...fire high center mass to stop the action. They dont train to kill...its called stopping the action. And do you actually know how difficult it is to fire accurately in that situation? Its not the range....get real...please.
Who knows how the incident truly unfolded...but if the officer was in his car when he was assaulted that hints towards the officer being on the defensive. Officer receives blows from the suspect...blows that could possibly cause the officer to become visually impaired or possibly unconscious. What happens then? Maybe the suspect runs...maybe he grabs the officers weapon and executes him?
Its easy for everyone to form an opinion from their couch how the officer should have handled the situation. The opinion ive formed from my couch is the officer felt his life was threatened and took the action he was trained to take.
Making this about race is ridiculous. This officer had been working for four years in that area and had never received a complaint from a citizen...which is quite rare.
If Michael Brown was white this would still be a huge issue because the hate for police is quite strong. But using the black vs. white really gets the people going huh?
come on minorities
white males know best for yall and women
they have had it rough for so long and understand your struggle.
just pull yourself up from bootstraps like all the rest of the white males. it's only your fault if you don't succeed
Are you sitting on your lily white porch with a jar of lemonade looking out from the veranda on your iPad posting this?
You're silly.
We all know Obama is going to go door to door personally and enact tyranny.
tear gas that has been used is banned in war under international treaty
that doesn't stop us from using it on our own citizens
wow
Krg it's nice you are colorblind to ignorance and stupidity, but as minorities I think AA njc and myself have more than without question been a victim of white privilege... sometimes blatant and sometimes not obvious but subtle.
At the same time, don't you think whites have been victims of affirmative action? Supreme Court has dealt with it a few times. It's basically the same thing.
Any time you ever give someone extra points because of Thier race is wrong. To dumb down an entrance test for a public service job because minorities don't give a high enough score to get the job is a retarded thing to do.
So Sav and aA, if a white boy the same size jumped on the cop do you think the cop would had shot him too?
Firstly, I don't think the white boy would've been harassed by the cop walking down the street so the confrontation likely would've never taken place to begin with.
And would the cop have shot the white boy an extra 5+ times when his hands were already up in the air? I personally don't think it would've gone down like that.
I still don't understand why you would rush a cop. Doesn't justify this kids death but if there was compliance from the beginning this would not have happened.
