Brainfade Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Unarmed African-American man shot 6 times by Caucasian police officer. Undercurrent of racial divide erupts into violent protests.
Laaloo Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 The unarmed African American pushed an Old Indian store owner and walked away with a ciggarette with his friend. The 'African Americans' in Frguson looting the stores and creating havoc on the street isnt helping the cause either. No one knows really what prompted the officer to shoot him 6 times. Someone said the African American assaulted the police but no one knows why.
FischerTal Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 media reports saying that mike brown might have been under the influence of drugs, thats why he didn't heed the officer's warning
AmreekanDesi Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 The police officer has no record of excessive use of force or bad disicpline in 6 yeas of service As usual blacks crying foul
Laaloo Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Read an awesome comment on yahoo They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain’t, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be… And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk. Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t be a doctor with that kind of #$%$ coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education and now we’ve got these knuckleheads walking around. The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what? And they won’t spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics. I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn’t know that he had a pistol? And where is the father? Or who is his father? People putting their clothes on backward: Isn’t that a sign of something gone wrong? People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn’t that a sign of something? Isn’t it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body? What part of Africa did this come from?? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don’t know a thing about Africa! I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid. I was born here and so were my parents and grandparents and very likely my great grandparents. I don’t have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany, Scotland, England, Ireland or the Netherlands. The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa. So stop, already! With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that #$%$ And all of them are in jail. Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back. People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different ‘husbands’ — or men or whatever you call them now. We have millionaire football players who cannot read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can’t write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us. We have to start holding each other to a higher standard. We cannot blame the white people any longer. Dr. William Henry ‘Bill’ Cosby, Jr., Ed.D
vvvslaxman Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Lot of cover up is going on from the police side.
Mariyam Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 What are all the protests about? I thought it was perfectly legal to shoot black people in the USA now, post the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman verdict. :didntknow:
Brainfade Posted December 7, 2014 Author Posted December 7, 2014 What are all the protests about? I thought it was perfectly legal to shoot black people in the USA now, post the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman verdict. :didntknow: Here is an interesting analysis of this issue. Tell us what you think. http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/jack-kelly/2014/12/07/Jack-Kelly-Misconstruing-Ferguson/stories/201412070070 Jermaine Jones, 29, was gunned down in the street on the outskirts of Ferguson, Mo., Oct. 18, a few hours after his sister, Margaree Dixson, 35, had been shot half a mile away. If this is the first you’ve heard about these murders, it’s because their killers also were black. “Black deaths matter only if the killer is a white cop,†said Italian journalist Enza Ferrerri. Which doesn’t happen very often. Of 1,265 murder victims in St. Louis between 2003 and 2012, 1,138 (89.9 percent) were black, according to University of Missouri-St. Louis criminologist David Klinger, a former police officer. About 90 percent of the black decedents (1,025) were slain by other blacks, his research indicates. Thirty-two were killed by police officers, 22 (1.93 percent) by white cops. Between 1976 and 2011 across the United States, 7,982 blacks were murdered each year, on average — 94 percent by other blacks, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. About 227 blacks (2.8 percent) were shot by police each year, according to a study by Pro Publica (which pointed out that national statistics on police shootings are difficult to assess because of differences in how police departments report them). The use of excessive force by police isn’t unheard of, so if a consequence of the news media’s obsession with the shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson Aug. 9 is more widespread use of bodycams by police, that would be good. But to assert that racially motivated shootings by police are commonplace and that this was one of them undermines the rule of law and “fans racial discord,†said Milwaukee County (Wis.) Sheriff David Clarke, who is black. Young black males are 21 times more likely to be shot dead by police than are young white males, Pro Publica said. But because more than two-thirds of police officers are white and blacks commit about half of violent crimes, it stands to reason most police shootings would involve a white cop and a black suspect. Blacks also are more likely than whites, Hispanics or Asians to resist arrest, according to Heather McDonald of the Manhattan Institute. Black cops have shot black suspects at essentially the same rate as white cops have, Prof. Klinger’s data indicate. No statistical evidence supports the charge that white cops routinely abuse black suspects. But the question is: Did Officer Wilson use excessive force against Michael Brown? “What the grand jury had, that the rest of us did not have until the grand jury’s decision was announced, was a set of physical facts that told a story that was independent of what anybody said,†wrote economist Thomas Sowell, who is black. “Moreover, the physical facts were consistent with what a number of black witnesses said under oath, despite expressing fears for their own safety for contradicting what those in the rampaging mobs were saying.†Despite this, liberal journalists on the “Meet the Press†program last Sunday were aghast when National Review’s Rich Lowry said the lesson of Ferguson was “don’t fight with a policeman when he stops you and try to take his gun.†Even if Officer Wilson had been wearing a bodycam, it wouldn’t have mattered to journalists “too invested in the white-racism morality play to let facts — even videotaped facts — get in the way,†said Mona Charen of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. More despicable are those journalists who made excuses for violence after the grand jury refused to indict Officer Wilson for a crime it was clear he didn’t commit. Those who looted (mostly black-owned) businesses and burned down a black church aren’t “protesters†who were “trying to make their voices heard.†They’re criminals. The victims in Ferguson are the law-abiding people in the majority black community who’ve lost their businesses, their jobs and convenient places to shop due to mob violence. Among their victimizers are the Obama administration and much of the national news media. “If the history of other communities ravaged by riots in years past is any indication, there are blacks yet unborn who will be paying the price of these riots for years to come,†Mr. Sowell wrote.
coffee_rules Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Blacks killed by blacks getting indicted for the crime is not the issue. Blacks killed by whites going scot-free is the issue we are dealing since 1960s. nothing has changed.
Brainfade Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Blacks killed by blacks getting indicted for the crime is not the issue. Blacks killed by whites going scot-free is the issue we are dealing since 1960s. nothing has changed. The data shown here don't support your notion. Got any better data? Or is your opinion based on anecdotal media hype?
HippoSucks Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Absolutely nothing wrong done by the officer. The culprit committed a robbery, injured a store owner and attempted to use force on the officer. Obviously the officer would retaliate and shoot. Good decision by the grand jury.

The bride tested the groom on his math skills and when he got the sum wrong, she walked out. The question she asked: How much is 15 plus six? His reply: 17. The groom’s family tried persuading the bride to return, but she refused. She said the groom had misled them about his education. Local police mediated between the families and both sides returned all the gifts that had been exchanged before the wedding, police officer Rakesh Kumar said Friday. Most marriages in India are arranged by the families of the bride and groom. Except for brief meetings, the couple rarely get to know each other before the nuptials.

Brainfade Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/south-carolina-charged-murder-videotaped-killing-article-1.2176861 A white cop in South Carolina was charged with murder on Tuesday, hours after a cell phone video revealed he shot a fleeing black man in the back during a routine traffic stop, contradicting an account he gave of the Saturday shooting. The Mayor of North Charleston announced the charges against officer Michael Slager after a witness turned over the disturbing footage to authorities. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/protesters-streets-incident-article-1.2140650 Protests erupted in Madison, Wis. Friday night after a black teenager was shot and killed in an altercation with police, authorities said. The Madison police officer was allegedly assaulted after forcing his way into an apartment where there were reports of a suspect causing a "disturbance," The Daily Cardinal reported. “The officer did draw his revolver and subsequently shot the subject,” said Madison Police Chief Mike Koval, who did not identify the officer or the slain man. He said the responding officer was hit in the head, treated at the hospital and released. Friends and family said the victim was 19-year-old Tony Robinson, a 2014 graduate of Sun Prairie High School, in a suburb about 13 miles northeast of Madison.
coffee_rules Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 ^agree there is a very little window of time before a police officer takes action to protect himself, or protect a crime from happening. We have to go with the police officer and also give enough training and have enough surveillance to catch rouge cops.

We have to go with the police officer and also give enough training and [b']have enough surveillance to catch rouge cops. At times they can be worse than criminals since they have power. There is every chance they will overstep the boundary at every chance. This South Carolina incident is shocking. This 50 year old guy was fleeing. This fat pig didn't even make an attempt to run, he was just happily putting bullets in his back like nobody's business and later lied about it after planting an evidence. This is much much more prevalent than you think. This is why few prosecutions of cop has to happen to set an example. After seeing few incidents i now doubt about what happened in St.Louis. IN all probability he might be making up a story about the incident since there was no witness.
