Sooo many eyewitnesses saying the same thing.
Cop needs to be put to death. Nothing less

This is the Information Age and that's where these small town cops messed up. One man live tweeted the entire thing https://twitter.com/7im/timelines/499639344613695488

Welp, I just watched the video... case closed. Officer will now be look at as a hero who stopped a violent "animal. " Things like "the next time he probably would've had a gun" will be said.

Case closed about what
Still doesnt justify shooting 8 times an unarmed person

Think this would have hurt the whole thing more had they released it earlier. Now, it won't do a thing. It's not JUST about Mike Brown anymore.

Why do we protest police killing unarmed teens but not take to the streets to protest "thugs" killing unarmed teens? Because we want justice. We want accountability. The police officers get away. George Zimmerman got away. Thugs don't get away, for the most part. Justice works if the suspect is black or brown. We are protesting the system. We are protesting against those in power who have a history of terrorizing people of a certain skin color for simply being and getting away with it. There's no accountability and we are tired of it. Mike Brown is just the latest name in an unfortunate growing list of victims killed by excessive force by those in power. They were tired of it in the 90s when Rodney King was violently beaten by multiple cops on camera but the officers still got off, we were tired of it when Oscar Grant was killed while still in handcuffs and the officer that shot him got off with a slap on the hand, we were tired of it when George Zimmerman spent months walking free without being charged while his murdered victim was on trial in the media. We're fed up. It happens far too often and our anger is with the system working against us and not for us. Our anger of what's happening in Ferguson and protesting doesn't take away the fact that violence in Chicago needs to curbed, or that black on black violence needs to be addressed, or that Robin Williams died, or that innocent people are dying in Palestine and Israel, or that immigrants and their kids are being terrorized as criminals for coming into our country looking for a better life, or anything else happening in the world. We simply want accountability and we want people to know that our lives matter too

It's sad that you have to say this and people on here still won't get it.

That video will absolutely tarnish this kids reputation in the media, and rightfully so.

its funny to me how what you said was right and how much that upsets people

those same types did the same thing with Travon

these are the same people to jump up and down getting upset saying "but that doesnt justify him being killed"

yeah, um no one said it justifies it or he deserved it

it does contradict the claim that he was an innocent kid
or that Mike Brown was a gentle giant

 

[triple homicide]

He was jaywalking too aggressively 

He was assaulting the street

Yep. And remember the Duke lacrosse scandal? They were all 100% innocent.

So we have video evidence of MB thuggin and bullyin a store clerk, cool...let's label him a thug, he "attacked" a police officer, cool...he tried to flee then...he was never armed, police officer shoots him 2 times and neutralizes him, he has his hands up and is no longer a threat....at this point the correct course of action should have been cuff him, call the medics, perhaps he would have still died, but I guess at that point the cop was performing within the scope of his duties, but this is when the real crime was committed, the cop went from an authority figure, to a heartless murderer, THE FACT REMAINS HE EXECUTED A MAN....that is not what they are trained to do!!!...MB died with 3 bullets in his ***** head, had he died with the first 2 shots, perhaps it could have been justified to an extent...but this was a blatant execution, it was heartless and premeditated.

 

[mgrand15]

Is there even proof that he stole something in that video? Was there a call about a robbery or anything like that? He could've been stealing. But there is a chance the store clerk just suspected him of stealing. It's not like he even punched or hurt him. He just shoved him away. I'm sure it'll sway the jury/media though SMH

Law is your not to shoot a fleeing suspect. So even if Brown beat his *** and started running, he is still not to be shot or shot at

case and point

no one is claiming one justifies the other

but the facts off all parties involved are just that, the facts

its crazy how people like you get upset over this strawman argument

 

[julius wrek]

Alderman Antonio French just tweeted the other witness' account...

[d nice]

Is that him in the video?

 

[the qbz]

He is thug cause he supposedly stole.....


That why they called Richard Sherman a thug he Stole the 49ers super bowl dreams

 

[chickhien]

First thing that came to mind

it's going to be "strong-legged evading of the police"

 

[ksteezy]

Law is your not to shoot a fleeing suspect. So even if Brown beat his *** and started running, he is still not to be shot or shot at

With that said, at this point the law is being bent to justify the cops actions...he performed his job poorly, MB's character is irrelevant.

police chief wiggum

This was the first murder in 2014 for the city of ferguson. Now we're painting it as a town of criminals? And they see the cops as bad guys?? What cops are their friends here to help them

Yep. And remember the Duke lacrosse scandal? They were all 100% innocent.

And they all survived to get their due process of law and were as a result exonnerated. See the difference?

Whoooaaa you got us there

 

[seasoned vet]

....'gentle giant' yoking up store clerks and **** over a box of 'rillos'

yeah.

Never thought about this. The police keep giving us evidence that puts Brown in a bad light. But I do believe there was a call of a robbery, at least that's what the chief said this morning. 

 

[fontaine]

Yeah... I Figured that robbery stuff was nonsense...

The craziest thing in this ENTIRE event is the lengths that their going to to protect ONE cop...

ONE...

 

[seasoned vet]

MB's character is irrelevant.

LOL!! @ irrelevant

thats that same dumb Trayvon narrative that got people upset

you cant put one under the microscope and not the other

its all going to come out
good, bad, or indifferent

if you're right
it will show in the end
