New witness steps forward in Michael Brown shooting, provides new video (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/08/14/1321564/-New-witness-steps-forward-in-Michael-Brown-shooting-provides-new-video)

Mitchell told News 4 she saw a door close on a police car. An officer was inside and Brown, Jr. was on the outside. She said the two were arm wrestling through the car window. Mitchell said she then tried to pull out her phone to record. Shots then rang out.“It just didn’t look right for them to be arm wrestling,” Mitchell said. “The first gun shot came from the window, so I just started getting out of the way.”

According to Mitchell, Brown, Jr, began to run away after the first shot was fired.

“After the shot, the kid just breaks away. The cop follows him, kept shooting, the kid’s body jerked as if he was hit. After his body jerked he turns around, puts his hands up, and the cop continues to walk up on him and continues to shoot until he goes all the way down,” Mitchell said.

11 Shocking Facts About America's Militarized Police Forces

3. The use of SWAT teams is unnecessary. In many cases, using militarized teams of police is not needed. The ACLU report notes that the vast majority of cases where SWAT teams are deployed are in situations where a search warrant is being executed to just look for drugs. In other words, it’s not even 100% clear whether there are drugs at the place the police are going to. These situations are not why SWAT was created.

Furthermore, even when SWAT teams think there are weapons, they are often wrong. The ACLU report shows that in the cases where police thought weapons would be there, they were right only a third of the time.

4. The “war on terror” is fueling militarization. It was the “war on drugs” that introduced militarized policing to the U.S. But the “war on terror” has accelerated it.

A growing number of agencies have taken advantage of the Department of Defense’s “1033” program, which is passed every year as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, the budget for the Pentagon. The number of police agencies obtaining military equipment like mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles has increased since 2009, according to USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/15/local-law-enforcement-agencies-surplus-military-equipment/10286485/) [10], which notes that this “surplus military equipment” is “left over from U.S. military campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.” This equipment is largely cost-free for the police agencies who receive them.

In addition to the Pentagon budget provision, another agency created in the aftermath of 9/11 is helping militarize the police. The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) own grants funnel military-style equipment to local police departments nationwide. According to a 2011 Center for Investigative Reporting story published by The Daily Beast (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/12/20/local-cops-ready-for-war-with-homeland-security-funded-military-weapons.html) [11], at least $34 billion in DHS grants have gone to police agencies to buy military-style equipment. This money has gone to purchase drones, tactical vests, bomb-disarming robots, tanks and more.

5. It’s a boon to contractor profits. The trend towards police militarization has given military contractors another lucrative market where they can shop their products. Companies like Lockheed Martin and Blackhawk Industries are making big bucks by selling their equipment to agencies flush with Department of Homeland Security grants.

In addition to the actual selling of equipment, contractors also sponsor training events for SWAT teams, like Urban Shield, a major arms expo that has attracted increasing attention from activists in recent years. SWAT teams, police agencies and military contractors converge on Urban Shield, which was held in California last year, to train and to promote equipment to buy.

6. Border militarization and police militarization go hand in hand. The “war on terror” and “war on drugs” aren’t the only wars helping police militarization. There’s also the war on undocumented immigrants.

The notorious Sheriff Joe Arpaio, infamous for brutal crackdowns on undocumented immigrants, is the paradigmatic example of this trend. According to the ACLU, Arpaio’s Maricopa County department has acquired a machine gun so powerful it could tear through buildings on multiple city blocks. In addition, he has 120 assault rifles, five armored vehicles and ten helicopters. Other law enforcement agencies in Arizona have obtained equipment like bomb suits and night-vision goggles.

Then there’s a non-local law enforcement agency on the border: the Border Patrol, which has obtained drones and attack helicopters. And Border Patrol agents are acting like they’re at war. A recent Los Angeles Times investigation revealed (http://articles.latimes.com/2014/feb/27/nation/la-na-border-killings-20140227) [12] that law enforcement experts had found that that the Border Patrol has killed 19 people from January 2010-October 2012, including some of whom when the agents were under no lethal, direct threat.

7. Police are cracking down on dissent. In 1999, massive protests rocked Seattle during the World Trade Organization meeting. The police cracked down hard on the demonstrators using paramilitary tactics. Police fired tear gas at protesters, causing all hell to break loose.

Norm Stamper, the Seattle police chief at the time, criticized the militarized policing he presided over in a Nation article in 2011. “Rocks, bottles and newspaper racks went flying. Windows were smashed, stores were looted, fires lighted; and more gas filled the streets, with some cops clearly overreacting, escalating and prolonging the conflict,” wrote Stamper.

More than a decade after the Seattle protests, militarized policing to crack down on dissent returned with a vengeance during the wave of Occupy protests in 2011. Tear gas and rubber bullets were used to break up protests in Oakland. Scott Olsen, an Occupy Oakland protester and war veteran, was struck (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/21/city-of-oakland-pays-4-million-veteran-occupy) [13] in the head by a police projectile, causing a fractured skull, broken neck vertebrae and brain swelling.

8. Asset forfeitures are funding police militarization. In June, AlterNet’s Aaron Cantu (http://www.alternet.org/civil-liberties/police-can-just-take-your-money-car-and-other-property-and-good-luck-getting-it-back?paging=off&current_page=1#bookmark) [14]outlined how civil asset forfeiture laws work.

“It’s a legal fiction spun up hundreds of years ago to give the state the power to convict a person’s property of a crime, or at least, implicate its involvement in the committing of a crime. When that happened, the property was to be legally seized by the state,” wrote Cantu. He went on to explain that law enforcement justifies the seizing of property and cash as a way to break up narcotics rings’ infrastructure. But it can also be used in cases where a person is not convicted, or even charged with, a crime.

Asset forfeitures bring in millions of dollars for police agencies, who then spend the money for their own uses. And for some police departments, it goes to militarizing their police force.

New Yorker reporter Sarah Stillman, who penned a deeply reported piece on asset forfeitures, (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/08/12/130812fa_fact_stillman) [15]wrote in August 2013 that (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/08/swat-team-nation.html) [16]“thousands of police departments nationwide have recently acquired stun grenades, armored tanks, counterattack vehicles, and other paramilitary equipment, much of it purchased with asset-forfeiture funds.” So SWAT teams have an incentive to conduct raids where they seize property and cash. That money can then go into their budgets for more weapons.

It is always interesting to note the cases chosen to illustrate the problem we have.

Anecdotal situations have lead me to believe there are times when the police are put in very tough situations so often in some places that they are programmed to overreact. The latest does not seem like one of them.

It may come down to a fine line of defining over reacting. Even the friendly eyewitnesses say the kid and the cop were "wrestling" through the window of the car. If they were in fact wrestling over the cops gun then a case could be made that the cop was acting in self defense on at least the first shot. The last seven shots? Not so much.

Seems...

[CosmicCowboy]

It's easy to forget that cops are people and sometimes scared shitless too. You know that if in fact they were wrestling over the gun and the cop was in serious fear for his life that the adrenaline was off the charts. Cops are not trained to just "shoot once" in a like threatening situation they are trained that once gunfire is necessary in their opinion to shoot until the guy goes down.

That being said if he continued to shoot the guy as his back was turned and he was trying to run away (forensics will easily verify this if true) that was a huge error in judgement adrenaline or not.

I had to remind them of the pic they were defending recently of a right wing extremist running around town scaring peopl by carrying their military style civilian firearms in public places to display their 2nd amendment rights. I asked them if they could explain why they wernt defending mr browns right to bear firearms. No response but we all know why lol

Typical email/facebook "news". That pic wasn't Brown.

BTW, isn't it pleasant that Kool, Trill and the other trolls are shitting in the Club thread and leaving this one alone? People can actually have a reasonable interchange of ideas and perspective without their blind racist baiting and trolling.

I get all that.
My LOL was actually at the graphic itself and the ratio of black to blue color compared to the % numbers given. If you're going to use a graphic to make a point, it should match the numbers.
The 45%/52% particularly stands out.

It may very well match the numbers, it's the area of a circle pi*r^2.

Did you measure r on your screen for the black and white areas, square it, multiply by pi and then do a ratio? Then 45 and 52 don't stand out.

I didnt realize it was a fake. Tbh its hard to say what happened. It sucks that the kid was unarmed. Well never know if he resisted arrest or went for the officers gun even if the officer came back & provoked it. Tbh i dont care for any dumb asshole that walks in the middle of the street when theres a damn sidewalk. I dont really feel sorry for anyone that starts struggling with police cause that makes u an idiot and u subject urself to these kinds of things. I think i have more of an issue with that guy that had a heart attack that couldnt breath. I think those cops were hotheaded and wreckless there and its very unfortunate but again, resisted arrest. Never gonna win that battle so resist at ur own risk

there's two accounts vs the asshole cop

Brown's friend said the asshole pulled up very close to them and told them to get on the sidewalk (walking in the street is "qualtiy of life"/"broken windows" infraction, I guess). They said they were almost home. Cop forced open his door, hitting them both, tried to grab Brown, pull him through the window, Brown resisted. Shot goes off, Brown runs, assholes shoots him 8 times. never can tell when a dead body will stop being a death risk for the shooter.

a girl with a more distant view corroborated the "through the window" / arm wrestling.

Kind of blows the "Saint" Brown narrative. Still adrenaline pumped from punking the Pakistani, could very well have provoked the confrontation with the cop. It's a fact the cop got popped in the face in the struggle with the bruises to prove it.

this is all so fucking dumb. You have retards getting their news from random twitter feeds and taking 'eyewitnesses' at their word 100%, even if what they say conflicts with the evidence at the scene......bottom line here is that this wasnt a sweet innocent kid. He was obviously not the best person. Who knows what happened with the cop, if i had to guess i would say that the cop rolled up on him and his friend and told them to move, he thought the cop would ID him from the burglary, and he may or may not have attacked the cop. What i do know is that if he was surrendering to the cop and was still shot multiple times after that fact, the cop is wrong and should be charged with murder. This should be fairly easy to determine based on the placement and position of the body in relation to the shells fired from the cops pistol. The kid didnt kill anyone, he didnt harm anyone(that we know about), and if he was really putting his hands up to surrender himself then that cop is a murderer.

Hardly a surprise. It is the nationwide norm that police forces make an effort to mirror the demographics of their community.

Ferguson's PD is 94% White - And That's Basically Normal in the US.

http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119070/michael-browns-death-leads-scrutiny-ferguson-white-police

The Ferguson, Missouri police department has faced criticism for its response to an officer shooting dead 18-year-old Michael Brown—its riot gear (http://www.businessinsider.com/police-militarization-ferguson-2014-8), how it has protected (http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/13/us/missouri-teen-shooting/) the officer’s identity, and that it reportedly neglected (http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/man-who-says-he-witnessed-michael-brown-shooting-speaking-to/article_7fb366f0-2f29-5bdd-b18b-34c9d8c688e7.html) a key witness to Brown’s death. And many of these critics, including Vox (http://www.vox.com/xpress/2014/8/12/5994181/ferguson-is-67-percent-black-and-its-police-force-is-94-percent-white), Mother Jones (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/08/10-insane-numbers-ferguson-killing), and the editorial board of the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/13/opinion/racial-history-behind-the-ferguson-protests.html), have pointed out the lack of racial diversity of Ferguson’s police force: Ferguson’s population is 67 percent black, but African Americans make up just 5.6 percent of the police force. Consider this number in the context of St. Louis’ deeply segregationist and discriminatory history—today, the city is still the sixth-most segregated in the country.


But Ferguson’s police department is also more or less average in its diversity. A 2007 survey of local police forces across the country from the Department of Justice showed that the average for a city of Ferguson’s size—21,000—is an 87.5 percent white police force, and 5.6 percent black. The national average for all local police stands at 75 percent white.


The police forces in large cities tend to be the most diverse, reflecting their populations—cities of one million or more average police forces that are 56 percent white, and 17.6 percent black. Generally, police forces get less diverse as you move down in population size.


Of course, these are just averages and they do not take into account the diversity of the cities themselves. Research also suggests, though, that representation makes a difference in how a community views and trusts police. For example, a 2011 study (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/pbtss11.pdf) from the Department of Justice found that a driver stopped by an officer of the same race was more likely to think the reason was legitimate than a driver stopped by an officer who looked different (83 percent vs. 74 percent viewing the stop as legitimate). In Ferguson, blacks are stopped 86 percent (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/08/10-insane-numbers-ferguson-killing) of the time and searched 92 percent, though few are found with contraband.

Diversity of officers is not the answer to all of the problems in the law enforcement system, Nusrat J. Choudhury, an attorney with the ACLU’s Racial Justice Program, told me. The New York Police Department is the most diverse force in the country, but a judge found its Stop and Frisk program violated (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/13/nyregion/stop-and-frisk-practice-violated-rights-judge-rules.html?pagewanted=all) people of color’s civil rights. The disparity in New York’s Stop and Frisk program look a lot like Ferguson’s issues—83 percent of the stops targeted minorities who made up half of the city’ population. And 90 percent of the people stopped were innocent.

robbing a store had nothing to do with his being unarmed and shot multiple times, although I appreciate how you get suckered by the FPD:

1) already in deep shit for their cop murdering an unarmed kid

2) already in deep ship for their militarized response disaster and losing control of their own town to the state cops.

3) so they try to protect themselves and their murderous cop by smearing the kid with a video totally unrelated to the murder.
Don't rob a store using violence and get caught on camera and no one can smear you with it. It's disgusting seeing people excuse that sort of behavior.

the Missouri Citizen’s Militia is NOW IN Ferguson to protect innocent Americans from the tyrannical ‘police state’ according to the linked facebook post from Aaron Penberthy. Missouri’s Militia was recently at Bundy Ranch protecting innocent Americans from the CORRUPT FEDS who have NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TERRORIZE INNOCENT Americans. Straight from the lips of Penberthy on Facebook:

Aaron Penberthy If peaceful protesters get fired upon, it is my duty to uphold the constitution Clay Martin. If innocent families are being attacked, I have no choice but as a human being to go defend.

She's right.

I grew up on CNN. I laughed and criticized Fox News 5 years ago. But now if I'm at the Gym jogging, I rather see Fox than CNN. CNN is a social media centered network that is too restrained by political correctness. I noticed while discussing the Missouri situation they have cute little pictures of Michael Brown plastered in the background but for some reason the picture of him choking a man half his size in the store isn't one of the images.

there's two accounts vs the asshole cop

Brown's friend said the asshole pulled up very close to them and told them to get on the sidewalk (walking in the street is "qualtiy of life"/"broken windows" infraction, I guess). They said they were almost home. Cop forced open his door, hitting them both, tried to grab Brown, pull him through the window, Brown resisted. Shot goes off, Brown runs, assholes shoots him 8 times. never can tell when a dead body will stop being a death risk for the shooter.

a girl with a more distant view corroborated the "through the window" / arm wrestling.

Hundreds protest fatal police shooting of unarmed black man in Los Angele

About 500 people protested outside Los Angeles police headquarters on Sunday over the shooting death of an unarmed black man in California as disturbances continued in Missouri over the police killing of a black teenager there last week.

Ezell Ford, 25, was killed by police in Los Angeles on Monday, two days after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot dead by a police officer in the St. Louis suburb where he lived.

“He was a humble guy,” said Ford’s cousin, Ceebo Ship, 22.

Ship and other family members said Ford suffered from an unspecified mental illness and was “slower than the rest of us,” and a gentle person who loved basketball.

Ford’s family said he was cooperating with officers and lying on the ground when shot. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said Ford had struggled with officers and was trying to grab one of their guns when he was shot.

Michael Eric Dyson Spells It Out for White People: Police Won’t ‘Kill Your Child’

Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson on Sunday called on President Barack Obama to use his position to explain to white Americans that they do not continually have to fear that police would “kill your child” as African-American parents do.

In an appearance on CBS, Dyson said that protests in Ferguson, Missouri after a white police officer shot 18-year-old Michael Brown while he was unarmed was a symptom of a larger problem in the nation.

“Ferguson is emblematic of those larger shifts,” he pointed out. “You’ve got white flight of a formerly white suburb that’s now 65 percent black. You’ve got 22 percent poverty, you’ve got the over-policing of an entire community who feel racially harassed by the police. Every 28 hours across America a black person is killed by a security guard, a police officer or some other executive of the state or police force.”

this brown case is one where the facts aren't all out, so i can't say i have an informed opinion yet. but if we see that brown has a delinquent past (and recent past), then it would lend credance to the theory or possibility that he had a great deal to do with the escalation of events and that he was seen as a threat.

i'd do the same thing if i saw women and children get bombarded with tear gas...i'm sure most men would..well, except you of course.

:lmao

I don't see those goons in gas masks "pouring milk on the eyes of innocent women and children"

I see exactly what the picture shows. A bunch of blacks looting a McDonalds.

You are fucking pathetic.

[pgardn]

Why would women and children be out in this sort of situation?
So I want to protest and I take my wife and child into a dangerous situation?
I thought you said protestors were having to guard businesses ?

[pgardn]

Oh well. That lying piece of shit that robbed the store with him got his 15 minutes of fame.

This is pathetic as well.

Not that anyone really cares, but I'm all over the place on this fiasco. I haven't followed any of this closely, but this has undoubtedly become a world-class clusterfuck.

Obviously, the people on the ground are in the wrong for escalating what could be meaningful civil disobedience into criminal mischief. At the same time, the way the situation has been handled -- the seeming indifference to their anger and the vicious reaction to its percolation -- is precisely the sort of thing that tends to perpetuate itself. Won't defend looting or violence at all, but their anger strikes me as understandable. I think the PD in Ferguson has handled this abysmally from beginning and bear at least some responsibility for the fact that this has continued as long as it has. If they had elected to simply put out objective facts from the get-go, rather than trying to defend and protect their guy, I suspect these spikes in the protesting wouldn't have happened.

The bigger problem here is that somehow, our societal norm seems to now favor the use of deadly force as a deterrent -- without regard to the severity of the risk posed by the person against whom that force is used. Even if Michael Brown had robbed a store, assaulted a cop, or tried to flee an arrest, there's simply no justification (to me) in any of that for shooting him. If he gets away, he can be pursued and arrested. He didn't present any obvious sort of risk to the lives of innocents that would necessitate the use of lethal force against him in any way. There are other ways to "get your man."

The use of force in that circumstance should be commensurate with the urgency of the need to subdue the suspect and no more; a kid who's been stopped for petty "criminal" conduct shouldn't be subjected to lethal force unless the life of the officer or someone else is clearly and unequivocally in imminent danger -- and that couldn't possibly be true of a suspect who was shot at something other than very close range.

Being a scared cop doesn't give a person license to take a life; if he was scared to the point that shooting at least 6 times was his only means of coping, he needed to find another line of work. He's supposed to be protecting the public, not acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

We've become far too tolerant, I think, of the use of deadly force in too many situations.

I find it interesting that our police need to have massive arsenals because there have been cases of being outgunned, welcome to a country that has more guns than people.

That being said, our police take protect and serve to another level. We have not made it clear what we want from them either. Are they peace officers or protectors, there is a difference.
It is always interesting to note the cases chosen to illustrate the problem we have.

Anecdotal situations have lead me to believe there are times when the police are put in very tough situations so often in some places that they are programmed to overreact. The latest does not seem like one of them.

Guns in hand during heat of the moment situations lead to some very difficult decision making, even for police officers that have been trained.

My question still stands.

Are you taking your wife and kid to protest knowing (from your facts) that the police have lost control?

Police officers should never remove their badges and name tags.
We are already clear on that, remember, the good cops arrived?

YES

last night was the 1st time they threw gas before the curfew. noone expected it.

Hundreds protest fatal police shooting of unarmed black man in Los Angele

About 500 people protested outside Los Angeles police headquarters on Sunday over the shooting death of an unarmed black man in California as disturbances continued in Missouri over the police killing of a black teenager there last week.

Ezell Ford, 25, was killed by police in Los Angeles on Monday, two days after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot dead by a police officer in the St. Louis suburb where he lived.

“He was a humble guy,” said Ford’s cousin, Ceebo Ship, 22.

Ship and other family members said Ford suffered from an unspecified mental illness and was “slower than the rest of us,” and a gentle person who loved basketball.

Ford’s family said he was cooperating with officers and lying on the ground when shot. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said Ford had struggled with officers and was trying to grab one of their guns when he was shot.

why are you posting stories of people getting themselves killed?

[Aztecfan03]

where did this witness say shot in back???

Listen to 2:00-2:10. Says he was shot and then turned around and the officer fired 7 more shots. SO according to the witness, that is at least one shot in the back.
