August 16, 201412 yr How do we know it is or it isn't? Show me where this cop killed other black kids. If he is a racist out to kill black kids or men or for that fact any African American show me all those murders. What at annoys me is the fact the media did t cover the actions that led up to the shooting, instead they want to portray the victim as a good young kid who was getting ready to go to college. They plaster the tv with pictures of a young kid And talk about unarmed boy shot in the back yet they didn't want to talk about what led up to the shooting because if that was covered first then they wouldn't have had a story. Do you think a story about a punk who just committed a strong arm robbery and was walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic and refused to yield when approached by an officer and started fighting the officer would have made national news in MSNBC AND CNN? Of course not. The media made it out to be a race crime and then when video of the strong armed robbery was released they made it a big deal that the police chief said the robbery had nothing to do with why the officer made contact with the victim in the first place (because the officer didn't know at the time he was involved in a robbery ) but he was approached for another violation and the media tried to make that mean he was a racist cop looking to kill a black man. That sells and the ignorant Al Sharpton lives off of fairy tales like that so he can get his mug in the public.
August 17, 201412 yr Had some punks looting last night. Now the neighborhood is starting to stand up to the looters. https://twitter.com/k_psi/status/500529489235828738/photo/1 Sad situation. I have zero respect for any looter or any who vandalize! The area had it's chance with the state troopers and a less militarized police present. Because of some, the entire area will and should suffer, bring back the APC's and any other heavy vehicle and troops in full riot gear! These people that are looting don't give a crap about the guy shot I death, they just want to use it as an excuse to riot and loot. While the peaceful protesters, the ones that do care, and do care about the community suffer.
August 17, 201412 yr Is it just me or is this becoming two separate incidents? 1. The shooting itself 2. The police response to media coverage Very much so. I don't trust either Brown's friends account of the incident nor the officer's significant others account. I am reserving judgment until more facts are in on the shooting. I've been appalled at the way the protests and the media were handled--up until the State Police took over.
August 17, 201412 yr The "locals" were the people whose comments the media elected to air. The narrative was that a racist cop shot an unarmed black youngster just minding his own business and getting ready to go off to college. Anything that did not fit that story line did not make it past the editors into the early stories on the incident. If the officer is cleared of any wrong doing, hope he sues any news agency that slandered him.
August 17, 201412 yr If the officer is cleared of any wrong doing' date=' hope he sues any news agency that slandered him.[/quote'] Agreed! But if he is found innocent, watch out!
August 17, 201412 yr How do we know it is or it isn't? Show me where this cop killed other black kids. If he is a racist out to kill black kids or men or for that fact any African American show me all those murders. . Why does it matter what he did or did not do prior to this incident? All I have said is that until the evidence comes out we won't know who did what. The fact the officer has not been involved in a case like this before is irrelevant. It stands on its own facts. So we can't say the officer is innocent or guilty of the charges made by many in the community.
August 17, 201412 yr If the officer is cleared of any wrong doing, hope he sues any news agency that slandered him. Slander? Is there a news organization that said the officer violated the law?
August 17, 201412 yr Author Seems like the New Black Panther Party has been instrumental in bringing peace to the Ferguson area. Intriguing.

Well to claim the officer is a racist without any proof or prior incidents to support that claim is what I'm going on. Too many people in this world are too quick to toss out the race card whenever it is easy to support their personal agenda.
August 17, 201412 yr Slander? Is there a news organization that said the officer violated the law? They have drug this officer through the mud with their one sided version as if it were all factual. Regardless of the outcome, this guy will probably never police again. I hope there's the same type of out of court settlement for him if he's cleared that victims of excessive force get
August 17, 201412 yr Here is an idea, a website listing the home addresses for reporters who endanger the lives of people who have not only been convicted of any crimes, but have not yet been charges with any crimes by publishing photos and/or street addresses of their homes.Maybe giving them a taste of their own medicine would help reintroduce responsible journalism to this country. DEATH WISH? Media Draws Map to Home of Ferguson Police Officer Who Shot Mike Brown
August 17, 201412 yr Seems like the New Black Panther Party has been instrumental in bringing peace to the Ferguson area. Intriguing.It's a good thing that the New Black Panther Party intervened when it did. Things might have gotten out of hand last night without their calming influence. One shot, seven arrested after chaos erupts after curfew in Ferguson The New Black Panther Party is a racist organization and the presence of its members anywhere is not a positive.
