M. Brown No Indictment

Whether or not it was in self defense or not, as far as I've heard, there was no evidence pointing to the fact that it was a race-based shooting. The fact that the community assumes it was a hate crime is as much a perpetuation of racism as the shooting itself, assuming it WAS race-biased.

I think they should let the court system take its course rather than march through the streets demanding "justice" for something that they assume is the case.

The nation-wide outrage at the "racism" and "injustice" of the crime is more a feeling of mob mentality than a conclusion based on evidence. Just because the victim is black and the shooter is white, that makes it a national incident; you don't see anyone having a problem with black cops shooting white people.

 

Though his death was tragic, it could've all been avoided if he simply didn't steal, let alone run away from a police officer.

 

I'm sorry, but this simply is not true.

Want 3 cases of a white cop shooting a black male to death?

Treyvon Martin
Michael Brown
Tamir Rice (A 12 year old, 12 YEAR OLD, shot to death recently from 10 feet away)

When was the last time a black cop shot a while male and got away with it? Exactly.

And also, why did the cop not pull out a taser, or pepper spray? Why the heck did he even shoot him? He could've closed the window, then had a legitimate excuse to shoot him if the window was broken. The shooting was SO not necessary, and I believe was caused by race. If this were a black cop shooting a white man, he'd be sent to court immediately. This guy wasn't even charged.

Since when does stealing a pack of cigarettes and running freaking constitute being shot 12 times and THEN left out on the street for 4 and a half hours before he was finally taken away?

 

Holy crap how more racist can you get? "Pure Bull" "Thug" "Wouldn't have meant a lick to society anyway" Honestly what is wrong with you? Also, you tell me that I should review my case, when you have 0 evidence to prove that he was charged at, or that there was a Melee in the car. Believe me, I watched the entire case. Not once did any evidence come forth that he struck the officer, or that he charged him- these are merely various reports that have no backbone to them. As of now, I refuse to continue this conversation due to the racism you just exhibited in that last post. Good day sir. Also, what evidence do you have of such a Melee? All that was found was blood on the inside and around the car. No wounds to the officer. In addition, if you believe the first option when approached is to draw a lethal weapon, you better back your argument up a notch or three.

 

I don't think you understood what I was saying
I said that the reaction to the shooting is a perpetuation of racism in itself.

Your argument is flawed here by your own personal bias
Why do you assume "pure bull" and "thug" were used because Michael Brown was black?
Because you have preconceived notions about what we are saying, and are unable to fully understand it due to them.

Your argument strategies are plausible deniability, and attempting to claim ethos by calling Brutal_X "racist" are only more manifestations of your bias.

 

You only prove my point more. What the heck do you think happens when you get shot? Blood sprays everywhere. However, you state only this blood belongs to Michael Brown, so doesn't that in itself prove your own idea that this was a "Melee" wrong? Shouldn't there be blood from both sides if it was a fight? Guess why you don't find any blood of the officers? Because Michael Brown was shot prior to any assault on the killer. Therefore, you just used your own evidence not only to prove my point correct, but to prove yours wrong.

If not race, then what lead him to use that terminology? I cannot remember the last time a white person was called a bull...

Anyways, racist or not, that was extremely rude on his part, especially the not meaning anything. If he wishes for me to actually consider his POV legitimate, he needs to learn some respect for others.

Anyways, I'm off to bed. I don't expect to reply to this anytime soon.

 

Regardless what side you are on, there is no sufficient evidence to support either side. I don't remember where I read this nor completely what the comment said, but it basically stated that due to social media and the pace of the spread that people who didn't even knew what the hell happened already had strong opinions in this subject. It's easier to support what everyone says rather than being quiet.

I personally do not have a side because I do not know what truly happened, and I feel these protests are much more of let's see how far we can go rather than let's see how far we can impact.

Not white.

 

What does a bull do?
Are they raging beasts easily identified by their dark brown color?
No.
They charge at things.
One the allegations against Brown was that he charged towards Wilson.
You continue to fail to see this from a non-biased point of view.

I don't have much to say here besides this:

Sometimes the facts aren't friendly
But just because they offend you doesn't mean you can ignore them
Respect for others is not a necessity of correctness.

 

All I got is that everyone's protesting, there was a foiled bomb plot, and there's violence. :v
As Cbsusd said:

Being quick to assumptions isn't always a bad thing, but in this case it's a bad thing.

 

This thread is such a flame war waiting to happen. Just warning you guys, anything said in defense of the cop will probably be taken as racist in some way. Expect to be called racist if you think the cop was in the right. :/

 

Ye this is such a peaceful protest EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE, looters, armed protesters, cops missing. XD.
Cop was right he got his eye socket broken and was attacked in his car so yeah he is justified.

This is just to good to be true...

 

@LukenDan you obviously do not know the basic protocols of police officers. If the suspect shows any signs of intent to harm, and refuses to cooperate with authorities, then no risks are taken. Pepper sprays and tazers are much too risky, since an average person can close the gape between them and the police officer before the officer can do anything. It's nothing to do with racism, but the insurance of the safety of others. @Brutal_X made a point about Brown being a "bull". That is obviously a metaphor. Not literal. Go back to elementary school, will you? Have you ever been charged at by a football player? It is the scariest s**t I have ever seen. Pepper spray or a tazer won't save you there. In fact, there is nothing wrong with a black officer shooting a white man. Today's government is not based off of racism as it did decades ago. Also, notice how he was stealing $48 USD worth of cigarettes, and blatantly refused to obey orders to stop, even assaulting an officer, a major act of felony. The shooting was obviously an act of self defense. There's no need for "blood for blood" equality bullcrap. I don't know, man, but right now you just sound extremely ignorant. It pisses me off how everyone assumes our cops are "racist" for shooting black people. It's their job to persecute criminals, and this suspect just happened to be black. It's just how it is. Now go home and rethink about all the nonsensical stuff you just said.

 

LA has stuff on fire now XD Don't know about the other cities where riots have broken out too yet.
EDIT. Police officer shot. Ferguson is burning to the ground.. Fireman cant do anything because of all the gunshots.... Nice job protesters at burning down your own town...
