Police Kill Unarmed Teen In Ferguson, Missouri

It wasn't an unarmed adult, tho. It was an unarmed teenager. Why does the media portray black teens as adults? If he were white he'd be referred to as a teen.

That's bs and you know it. 

The story is about a cop shooting an unarmed adult, but the media is trying to make it out to be a white vs black story instead. Tell me what they're basing these allegations on, bro. Did the cop make racist comments before, during, or after the incident? Did he reportedly have a past with dealing with personal racism problems? I don't see anything like that in the article. All I see is two people with different skin colors and the media trying to play it up for exposure. Ridiculous. 

On top of all that if you research further you will find accusations of the kid stealing candy, as well as possibly reaching for his waistband/pockets before he was fired upon. I'm also getting conflicting reports on how many cops opened fire as well as how many times this kid was shot, ranging from 2-10 times. Clearly all the information isn't even out yet, but you are all quick to sit on the internet and claim racism, and the 'man' trying to consistently keep us down, but it's based on nothing except for preconceived notions about the officers motivation. Come on. :smh:

At the end of the day, there's nothing you can steal from a gas station that warrants 10 bullets.

This was the scene after the fire department came and sprayed away what they could.

Article on OP says Mike Brown was 18... I'm pretty sure 18 = adult, black or white

 And... adult and teen are not mutually exclusive, genius. I think the word you're looking for is "minor". 

This is BS though. No reason you should be shot for running from the cops, unless you're armed and dangerous and even then it'd be situational. I ******* hate cops. 

What's the name of the cop(s) that shot him?

Some articles say 17, some say 18. You think I'm a genius too? That's dope.

He stole some candy :wow:

candy = life :stoneface:

And skin color plays a factor, because the way black men are criminalized and demonized by that same media you're so upset over now. How many instances do you hear of white men being shot by the police?
 
The kid was unarmed. I don't care what the situation was the officer has a car, a taser, a shotgun in the car (probably), and a gun at his waist. He couldn't have possibly been in that much danger in broad daylight.


I'm sick of hearing police officer pulling **** like this. All they do is investigate themselves (protect themselves) of wrong doing, and it's forgotten about. These guys think their badge gives them extra rights.

That's taking a bit too far

What they need to do is if the cop is without a doubt at fault, trial them for murder or attempted murder like any other civilian.

Oh yea because we know it will be a just and fair trial right? Come on now. Be realistic.
 
From Gawker:

Update 11:39 a.m.: CNN reports that St. Louis County Police Department Chief Jon Belmar said that before being fatally shot, Brown "pushed a police officer back into the car, where he physically assaulted the police officer." This account obviously presents a vastly different situation than the multiple witness accounts that reported Brown had his hands in the air during the shooting.

I don't care how much it costs, measures need to be taken so that EVERY sworn in officer in the United States HAS to wear some sort of camera attached to their uniform.

There's a blatant trend involving young black men and the police that cannot be ignored.
