December 21, 201411 yr Author How many 'facts' were known at the time of Michael Brown's funeral? Most of them, there had been 3 autopsies and witnesses had come forward to FBI and Law Enforcement right away. It's just that some tried this in the media while others didn't. FBI/Justice/Police someone should have been out in front of this stating what other witnesses were saying, but they didn't and all that was reported was what his friend said. It's just that the original lie that was told by his friend was all anyone would/could focus on.
December 21, 201411 yr In past shootings we have always blamed it on mental health. Why is this any different?
December 21, 201411 yr How many 'facts' were known at the time of Michael Brown's funeral? If Michael Brown had succeeded in killing Officer Wilson it wouldn't have been national news. Plus Brown would have been captured by the police and justice would be served. Exactly my point. He shouldn't have sent representatives to the funeral of someone who assaulted a police officer and tried to take his gun, before he knew all the facts. Maybe he should have waited before he decided to show support.
December 21, 201411 yr It made national news because the first mention of the story on Twitter was that an unarmed black man was shot with his hands up by a cop and that he was laying dead in the street for hours. Al Sharpton had nothing to do with that. But by all means speculate away. There have been unarmed white men killed by police also.
December 21, 201411 yr It made national news because the first mention of the story on Twitter was that an unarmed black man was shot with his hands up by a cop and that he was laying dead in the street for hours. Al Sharpton had nothing to do with that. But by all means speculate away. Al Sharpton did take that statement and used it to fit his narrative even though the facts didn't support it. So there's that.
December 21, 201411 yr In past shootings we have always blamed it on mental health. Why is this any different? Who said mental health problems aren't a possibility in this case?
December 21, 201411 yr No. I'm not going to explain anything anymore. It doesn't matter. There is no good explanation for it anyway.
December 21, 201411 yr Who said mental health problems aren't a possibility in this case? Did I miss the posts?
December 21, 201411 yr Did I miss the posts? If you want to discuss the mental health angle, perhaps you should bring it up. Your post seemed to insinuate that someone claimed this had nothing to do with mental health.
December 21, 201411 yr Absolutely sickening. Seems like a bad time to wear blue in this country. Only going to get worse as well.
December 21, 201411 yr There's a post going around Facebook claiming a man from Tennessee has stated he is enroute to NYC to kill two more police officers.
December 21, 201411 yr I just became a fan of the Yankees. I can't go that far. But a class move.:thumb:
December 21, 201411 yr I think we all agree that anyone, white or black, who supports killing police officers is an idiot. I should hope so.
December 21, 201411 yr Author President Obama said in a statement, "I unconditionally condemn today's murder of two police officers in New York City. Two brave men won't be going home to their loved ones tonight, and for that, there is no justification." Just saw this...
December 21, 201411 yr If you want to discuss the mental health angle, perhaps you should bring it up. Your post seemed to insinuate that someone claimed this had nothing to do with mental health. So no one else finds it interesting that mental health has not been mentioned like it always is? Just me? Instead we have seen the President, Rev Al, the mayor, and protesters blamed for this shooting. Did the guy shoot his girlfriend because of those people? Maybe it's just me.
