Drugs?

It has been confirmed he had weed in his system. I wonder if more is to come.

I also saw on CNN that Jesse,Al and obama are not real popular on the ground. I saw this about Jesse. Seems one crowd ran him off.

Disagree? You said something obviously false, I pointed it out..

Sorry.

Yes, you dont agree with it, I got that the first time. Yet your opinion no more amounts to 'fact' than does mine.

Given that you cant come up with anything more convincing than 'i dont agree' i suggest you jog on.

An MSNBC crew was shocked last night (or, should I say, 'rocked') by angry crowds. Even as they were being stoned they tried to convince the rock-throwers that they are doing their best to tell the story the way the rock throwers wanted the story to be told.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and Craig Melvin had to dodge rocks thrown at them by protesters during their live coverage of the events in Ferguson, MO. The protesters also voiced their dissatisfaction with the media coverage of the protest, with one declaring it a “Civil Rights Movement.” Both Hayes and Melvin appeared to be uninjured.

An appeaser feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last.

I can see why they are angry, 2 of them are wanting a piece of an eventual settlement and the other has royally screwed young black men employment wise with his politically motivated DACA program. It won't be long before Hillary cashes in on some of the free airtime to throw Obama and his domestic policies under the bus!

Where's the protests and outrage from the black community about this DACA program? That is going to have a much larger impact on the issues within the black community than this shooting will ever have. I suppose since Obama instituted this policy, no one in the minority community will come out against it.

You got a 6'4 300 lb man rushing at you screaming foul things. One who had just previously struck you and tried to take your gun

you have shot him 4 times and he is still coming. What would you do

call for back up?

he was with his car?

he has a baton, taser?

are cops not trained to apprehend grown men without killing them? or having the odds 5:1?

I posted a clip on the tuller drill. 21 ft in 1.5 seconds. a person can travel. . You had a discharge from the officers gun in a struggle. The officer was injured. (head injury) The suspect was coming back for a 2nd try for the gun after overpowering the officer. ... (300 pound person) . sop is to stop the suspect with any force needed..... Folks like you think you can shoot a gun out of a persons hand at 50 yards during a firefight in a low light situation.... Just because they do this in the movies real life is different.. so different...

it shouldn't be. that's the point.

Folks like you think you can shoot a gun out of a persons hand at 50 yards during a firefight in a low light situation....

folks like me know that this is of little consequence. michael brown didn't have a gun. are you saying the cop was trying to shoot an invisible gun out of his victim's hand?

Just because they do this in the movies real life is different.. so different...

thanks dad. maybe when i fully realize this...i can handle..PG-13 movies.,,with parental guidance...of course..

are video games also different than real life?

That observation of shooting a gun out of a persons hand is often made by you anti-second folks. .. Any police officer that values his own life would react the same way.

nope, sorry. not on board with giving cops free reign to kill whenever they 'feel' scared. if you scare easy, don't be a cop.

Back in 2000, two unarmed young men were shot and killed in a Jack in the Box parking lot in the suburban town of Berkeley adjacent to Ferguson by a pair of officers assigned to a county-wide drug task force where Jackson was deputy commander.

Early reports suggested that a vehicle occupied by Earl Murray and Ronald Beasley moved toward Officers Robert Piekutowski and Keith Kierzkowski, causing them to fear being pinned against another car.

Jackson, then a lieutenant with the St. Louis County Police, told reporters, “I am convinced that the officers were in fear of their lives, that they were in immediate danger.”

Jackson contended that the officers were standing in the driver’s path of flight.

“That's where he was going to escape,” Jackson said. “It was obvious to everyone he was going to go right through them. What they [the officers] said was that it lurched forward. In that instant, they thought, ‘This is it.’”

During the ensuing protests, Sharpton spoke of blocking a major highway, U.S. 40. Local leaders then protested his planned protest and traffic flowed uninterrupted as he went home to New York.

Subsequently, investigators decided that the car occupied by the two men had not in fact begun to move in their direction when the fatal shots were fired. The officers insisted they were in fear for their lives nonetheless, essentially arguing that the car was itself a deadly weapon pointed their way. That was enough for the shooting to be ruled justified under Missouri state law. The cops were not indicted.

That same provision, Chapter 563 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, will no doubt come into play in this new case in which a cop shot an unarmed man.

Under this law, a cop is justified in using deadly force “in effecting an arrest or in preventing an escape from custody” if “he reasonably believes” it is necessary in order to “to effect the arrest and also reasonably believes that the person to be arrested has committed or attempted to commit a felony…or may otherwise endanger life or inflict serious physical injury unless arrested without delay.”
