Good point. I suppose if the cop was drunk or stoned he could have done something to incite the shooting. Should check his phone for pictures of sizzurp too.

Oh Trolly, once again a massive fail.

Well, you tell us... and not counting your well documented pro-government cheer leading, of course.

Why is it oh-so-bad to speculate when the shooter is a governmental agent -vs-
it being just fine-and-dandy to speculate (calling him a looter) when the shooter is a civilian?

I read on Myspace that the cop was involved in the riots after the Michael Brown shooting, if this is true it changes everything.

I saw the video and agree the cop needs to be charged but even in Canada that is what I have done. Trigger happy cops are everywhere. Though seeing all these videos if I was black in the USA and pulled over by white cop. I roll down my windows and put my hands out.

An editorial in the Post-Dispatch.
I am skeptical that one group of lawyers should stop different lawyers from screwing people else a different group of lawyers will step in with some more lawyering is a great plan.

33BB - excellent work as usual.

Ferguson cop who got shot had a body cam, but mysteriously it was not turned on. Cops originally said he was investigating a burglary with two suspects, now saying it was only one suspect and no burglary took place.

lol at already having a turned off body cam incident.

I agree. The thing to remember, especially if you are black, is the cop is afraid of you, you might be a criminal. You should not make sudden movements during a traffic stop. You should not carry an unboxed pellet gun and walk around a store with it.

I had to take away a BB gun from my teen son that he bought with his own money years ago. He was upset but it was for his own good, I did not want him accidentally shot by a cop.

One radical solution to solve this problem which will be probably ridiculed here is that any cop who shoots an unarmed person should lose their job. Cops get good pay, early retirement, great pensions they should be prepared to take risks.

Big mistake

See, my wait and see strategy paying off. Look at all the lies already exposed, it's becoming clear this was not the good coo the lamesteam media wants you to think.

Involved in riots
Not a woman
Turned off body cam
No burglary
"Investigating" a suspect
Not dead

Pretty clear what was going on.

(At this point parody is merging with reality, oops)

Cops not only turning off body cams, but taking off their badges (after the DOJ specifically told them not to). Also reports of cop cars rolling about without license plates.


@akacharleswade is a pretty decent "on the ground" follow for this stuff.

Not to me. What are you implying?

Are all your posts this bad or is it just when you are trolling me?

I never said that we could not speculate here (although I have not speculated once on what happened in the Mike Brown shooting). I was criticizing a journalist whose speculation included the words 'executed' and 'murdered' but whose 'evidence' was contradicted by his own words. It was HIS speculation that I felt was misguided. He needs to be held to a higher standard than the posters on this forum.

As for the most recent shooting, I was commenting based on the information that was released at the time. The original report was that 2 people were caught in the act of burglarizing a business. If the police lied to cover wrong doing on their part than they need to be held accountable.

lol. "You haven't speculated once," instead you've just posted a speculative report that is contradicted by every non-cop eyewitness we have on record.

Hey so right-wing media has, for some ****ing reason, done some digging into the Walmart shooting guy.

Guess if they found stuff that the Liberal Media didn't want to tell you, because of The Narrative?
http://gotnews.com/fraud-media-lies-...mart-shooting/

I have wondered for a while if they have a case against Wal-Mart, for selling a gun unboxed that looks so realistic. But also you know its a ****ing toy and he was given no chance to surrender when they executed him so mostly I just want the cops to pay a huge settlement.

Its super lol at digging into his background. We have the video of what happened, we dont need to go minority report on the guy to work out the probability he was pointing the toy at people when walking around the store on his phone. Also defending the caller who has admitted he was full of **** is a curious line to take.

Cmon, you know. Its fine, we are all thinking the exact same thing.

If you #feel a journalist wrote a bad article, that's one thing.

But WTF does anything any journalist writes (good, bad, speculative, whatever) have to do with not "letting a Grand Jury do it's job" ??

Once cops start wearing google glass it will end even the flirtation with their being charged in these cases. Facial recognition linked to a national crime database on one side of the HU display and the suspect's facebook on the other will transform the average GED holding, trigger happy sociopath into an elite pre-crime municipal officer. Perp tweet scroll optional.

If you want access to certain documents in Ferguson, you're gonna have to pay up. But we'll gladly release this video of the dead person swiping some cigars for free!

Read that yesterday. Totally disgusting.

It's good that the Brown shooting is no longer dominating national news. It is sad when the media and others lead us along and tell us what should be important to us. All possible crime victims are as important as Mr. Brown is, but so many others were ignored because they didn't fit into the story the media wanted us to follow.

This article is a good case in point:

Houma dodged a racial bullet: James Varney

http://www.nola.com/opinions/index.s..._bullet_j.html

If a white cop had shot and killed that 14-year-old kid in Houma last Tuesday, there's a good chance Houma would be a household word. The town dodged a racial bullet.

Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's deputies responded in force to reports armed "men" had entered an abandoned house. Houma is not some sprawling, crime-riddled metropolis; chances are good everyone knew or could see the house was abandoned.

When the story broke Tuesday night, no details on the race of either Tillman or the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's deputy were provided. It was only subsequent reports that revealed the cop who killed the teenager was black, and now the story is quiet.

Then on Thursday a story emerged that a South Carolina state police trooper had shot an unarmed man in Columbia. The victim was trying to get his wallet out of his car when the trooper fired three shots. Fortunately, the trooper was such a lousy shot he only hit the man once in the hip. The incident was captured on the dashboard camera of the trooper's car; he has been fired and arrested.

How do we know about that obscure incident? The media has flooded the zone there. The Los Angeles Times sent one of their top reporters out to do a story on the wounding. CNN and ABC News are on the case.

In South Carolina, however, the trooper was a white man and the poor guy he shot was black. Consequently, reporters are trying to make that a national affair.

In Houma, meanwhile, the situation appears calm. Small business owners must be grateful for the peace. The community has a chance to understand exactly what went down at the threshold of that abandoned house and cope with their loss. The teenager's family won't ever be the same, the deputy (assuming he's a good cop and a decent man) will live with a video playing and playing in his head that I wouldn't wish on an enemy.

If, on the other hand, it had been a white SWAT team deputy who shot and killed Tillman? Well, remember what went down in Ferguson, Mo., and look at what the media is doing in South Carolina's capital.
