August 12, 201412 yr Have they released the autopsy report yet determining how many times he was actually shot? Not that I'm aware of.
August 12, 201412 yr Members of the press were threatened with being arrested if they didn't clear the area.
August 12, 201412 yr Those aren't protesters. Those are criminals. Don't confuse the two. Protesters don't loot nor do they encourage it. They think they are protestors. Here's a quote from one: DeAndre Smith, 30, said members of the community were “fighting back” against the police when they ransacked and torched the QuikTrip near West Florissant and Ferguson Avenue, which is now a heap of burnt debris and twisted steel, after a Ferguson police officer shot and killed teenager Mike Brown. “This is exactly what’s supposed to happen when an injustice is happening in your community when you have kids getting killed for nothing, when they’re out here minding their own business doing nothing,” he told a St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter while pointing at the smoldering gas station behind him. “You can lock them up, teach them, hold them but at the same time you ain’t got to kill them.”
August 12, 201412 yr Their reactions seem like perfect rational actions towards authorities and the community...
August 12, 201412 yr I am going to make a wild assumption that this guy wasn't shot running away from the police with his hands in the air. I may be wrong, but that is my guess as of now.

According to witnesses he wasn't when he was shot the first time but he was on the second shot.

August 12, 201412 yr If that story is even CLOSE to being true...then that police officer deserves everything coming to him and more. Agreed. I have a hard time believing it is though.
August 12, 201412 yr Is it time for another one of the discussions about the cycle of life in the black community? My words were "nobody cares about black people killing other black people." Translated: The people who are in power and have the ability to make a positive impact on black and black violence have no true desire to make it stop. That goes for red, yellow, black and white people in power. Nobody cares. This is why I bring it up. THIS is what people, all of us, should be protesting! IMO

Is most of the crime in Chicago which is controlled by an Obama cronney. Where is Jesse Jackson and Sharpton on the issue of black on black crime.

August 12, 201412 yr Now the police chief says he will not release the name of the officer. I haven't followed the case really at all but I think this is crap. If a citizen shot a police officer, their name would be released within hours of the shooting. Edited August 13, 201412 yr by rockmom
