Michael Brown shot dead by police

[RD2191]

lol. It doesn't work that way. Cops are trained to pursue and arrest when someone breaks the law. Not hide and wait in their cars if no other cops are around.

I agree he should of pursued, but if he felt his life was really in danger he would of called for backup and followed safely from his vehicle.

[ChumpDumper]

So who called in the alleged robbery?

at what point is he allowed to use his weapon after being assaulted? do you think cops should even carry guns?

a customer. allegedly

As an aside, and I don't mean to take you away from humiliating chump so thoroughly, but are you coming to the GTG this Saturday evening?

Only if DMC attends, otherwise...no.


Sorry and thanks!

If someone attacks you and then runs away and you supposedly fear for your life, what would you do? Follow him and get out of your vehicle or would you follow safely from a distance in your vehicle while calling for help/backup?

well im not a cop so i would probably call the cops and then want them to pursue him/her ....as i waited in the safety of my vehicle/home.

[RD2191]

So if the cop didn't even know he was a robbery suspect why did he pull him and his bud to the side? How and why did he get so close to Mike Brown in the first place?

Man DMC runs your life now.

Sorry is right.

he told him to get out of the street. The cop didn't know he was a robbery suspect but Mr. Brown knew of his earlier altercation. A reasonable person might come the conclusion that this would effect mr brown's actions/interactions with the officer.

Doesn't matter, the cop is still a human who can think and reason logically. If he felt his life was really in danger he would of never stepped out of his vehicle in the first place to confront an unarmed man.

So the cop was being a for no reason at all and that eventually led to him killing a young man for walking on the street? Cop kept it to real I guess.

if telling someone to not walk in the middle of the street is being a than i guess so.

[silverblk mystix]

? He's in a lot more now than he would be in if he would of let the suspect go or at least kept his distance. As I said before, the suspect was not armed and posed no immediate threat to others.
This is completely inaccurate. There was no way that the cop was aware if this suspect was armed or not - and there was no way to know if this idiot posed a threat to others - as a matter of fact - a reasonable person in the same position - would probably reason that if a guy attacked an on duty cop and tried to take his weapon - that he did indeed pose a great threat to others.There was also no way that the cop was allowed to do a search to check for weapons because the idiot kid evaded arrest and attacked the cop.


Especially in his neighborhood and his side of town.

Big boy? He was 18 years old, not a man. The trained police office should of known better.

The suspect assaulted him and tried to take his gun - WTF do you think a suspect wants with a cop's gun? To kill the cop.Period.Deadly force is warranted for this alone.


This isn't vigilante justice, and that is not how the law works. If you think a young man deserves to die because he punched a cop


because he tried to take the cop's gun - this is the issue here - this is what gives a cop the license to kill - right here. In the penal code - I haven't bothered to look up the Missouri (misery) penal code - but I am pretty sure it is like most states.



then you have a distorted view of how the law works and what's right/wrong.

You are letting your emotions get in the way of reasonable thinking tbh.

[ChumpDumper]

Wouldn't it make the most sense to walk away when the cop tells you just to get out of the street and makes no hint at arresting you?

[silverblk mystix]

Man DMC runs your life now.

Sorry is right.

Well I already knew that you and your boyfriend Blake are too pussy to attend - so it is DMC -

but if you or your lover go -


I will change my plans and go.


You won't.

Pussy.

I just don't see why a young man who was heading off to college would attack a cop for telling him to get off the street. Doesn't make sense to me. Sure, he stole some cigs but stealing and attacking a cop are very different things. Don't get me wrong, this young man should of been arrested for stealing and assaulting the store clerk, but I don't believe he deserved to die because of it.

[RD2191]

Nope, but that is exactly what the cop did.

[boutons_deux]

So who called in the alleged robbery?

the 911 operator knows

yes it would. Too bad that doesn't appear to be what happened here.
Wouldn't it also make sense that if someone had just committed a crime (allegedly) and almost immediately afterwards had a face to face interaction with a police officer that person may be nervous?

Give me a good reason why I should want to meet you under any cir stances and I'm there.

Go ahead, give me a reason.

uh-oh


another black person shot by the cops...



3:05 p.m. ET: St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said the suspect, a 23-year-old African-American male, had been involved in a convenience store theft early Tuesday afternoon and was seen acting eratically. When two officers stopped him, the suspect shouted, "Shoot me! Kill me now!" The suspect refused verbal commands to stop and approached the officers holding a knife in an "overhand grip," getting within three or four feet of them, police said. Both officers fired at the suspect, killing him.
"Every police officer out here has the right to defend themselves," Dotson told reporters.

What about when the cop tried to get out of his vehicle and the idiot kid rushed him and pushed the cop back into the car and then punched the cop and tried to take his gun?


Is that enough for you to take the "halo" off of the kid?

Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson announced the name of the officer involved in the shooting in a news conference the morning of Friday, August 15, nearly a week after the officer shot Brown on Saturday afternoon. Jackson prefaced the name announcement by describing a "strong-arm" robbery that had allegedly occurred a few minutes before the shooting at a nearby convenience store. A police report released to members of the media at the news conference described Brown as the suspect involved in the alleged robbery.^[32] The owners of the convenience store told FOX 2 St. Louis that no employee or cashier of the store reported a robbery.^[39]
Hours later, Jackson held another news conference in which he said Wilson was not aware of the robbery when he stopped Brown.^[40][41]
Jackson later told NBC News that while the officer who shot Brown initially stopped him for walking in the street and blocking traffic, "at some point" during the encounter the officer saw cigars in Brown’s hands and thought he might be a suspect in the robbery.^[42] The Atlantic Wire and MSNBC have reported on the changing nature of the department's statements.^[43][44]
