Need I say more? Trill with them truth nukes.
This is by no means standard media protocol, but it happens frequently, deliberately or not. News reports often headline claims from police or other officials that appear unsympathetic or dismissive of black victims. Other times, the headlines seem to suggest that black victims are to blame for their own deaths, engaging in what critics sometimes allege is a form of character assassination. When contrasted with media portrayal of white suspects and accused murderers, the differences are more striking. News outlets often choose to run headlines that exhibit an air of disbelief at an alleged white killer's supposed actions. Sometimes, they appear to go out of their way to boost the suspect's character, carrying quotes from relatives or acquaintances that often paint even alleged murderers in a positive light.Dap+ Quote

BLACK VICTIM

Peoples is racist.
Family of Michael Brown, unarmed Mo. teen shot dead by police, may attend Al Sharpton's march on Staten IslandI can cherry pick headlines.
Don't know if this has been posted, but this is some real . He was shot down like an animal.
Listen to the guy in the background. He says Brown charged to officer.
no evidence of anything in that video......that was dumb
He had his gun drawn after he surrendered. Meaning the killing was unjustified.
Quote from video:
"I just got out of the shower. I don't know what happened. The police had no right to shoot him. He didn't even have a gun!"
You can hear another witness say that Brown charged at the cop in that video
"So then he ran, police got out and ran after him. So the next thing I know he coming back towards [?] police had his gun drawn already. Police fired shots ... the next thing I know I think he missed him. The police shot him. Next thing I know I think he missed him. Then the dude started running - kept coming towards the police. "
From your video
You are one stupid . Listen to the guy in the background. He clearly says Brown charged the officer. Thanks for making a case against yourself you dip .
Eric Holder requesting immediate Federal autopsy. Must not have liked the States.
Frizzle is re ed...
This lines up pretty much with how the guy in the background of Sedins video says. Brown charged officer. Brown got shot.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
You must be one of those "black guys = thugs" radicals.
The autopsy will prove he had surrendered, as the gunshots will be adjusted for when his hands were up.
listen to the video YOU just posted. He said Brown charged the officer.
And Holder obviously didn't get the "hands up don't shoot" autopsy report he wanted from the state so he's requested an immediate federal autopsy.
And when the results prove the opposite than what? I'll tell you what, Brown will still be treated as a martyr and that is what is ed up about some of the black community. They will still think the cop was in the wrong and whitey is out to get them, even after it is proven Brown went for the officers gun and charged him. The black community has already excused his strong arm robbery. He's done nothing wrong in their eyes. It's saddening to see riots before the truth is even known, makes people look stupid.
^just a result of people reacting emotionally(aka like a ) rather than rationally(aka like a level headed human)
Well, that all might be true, but the fact remains is that he should have been detained and not shot after he surrendered.
Just because your morals are on a different level doesn't mean that you're right. You're being too emotional.
I'm not making any judgments on this specific incident yet, but do you think a cop has the right to shoot (with intent to kill) an unarmed citizen, even if he's "charging" at him?
You are assume he surrendered.
Yes. I'm assuming the person doing the charging of the cop is intending to kill. Why else charge a cop?
And to be clear I dislike cops so I'm not defending them, I just dislike stupid people more. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
It doesnt matter what anyone thinks. The law says its justified. Anyone who would charge a cop is either on something or incredibly stupid.
