You keep saying Michael Brown is innocent. How do you know? There's video of him stealing from a convenience store and bullying the owner shortly before the incident with the police. That kid was huge. Who's to say he didn't try bullying the cop too. We simply don't know because there's no video of the actual shooting.

Both of these situations are terrible but they are not nearly as black and white as you are trying to make them out to be.

Unarmed is a synonym for innocent, didn't you know?

actually it wasn't ultimately the stand your grown law that won the case for zimmerman. it was just basic self-defense which as far as i know would have been just as valid in any state, though i admittedly don't know the law well enough to state that as a fact.

Yes, but epidemic implies that it's happening to millions.

It is on the government's part.

Obama has the national guard out today, the same national guard that was throwing tear gases at innocent children over the summer WTF?

Did you see that crap over the summer?

The police were violating those protesters civil rights.

And you are outrageously misinformed.

Do you know how many black males have died by police?

Millions of black males HAVE died, it is a epidemic.

I was saying that while the government hasn't improved on the situation there still is some improvement, not that the government shouldn't consider it an issue.

And stats on your millions have died statistic? Were they all unjustified? I think a lot of people forget that police are dealing with criminals.

You still believe the media propaganda

Sad.

You know why the white racist media leaked that tape? They leaked it to paint a picture of Michael Brown that you seem to have already fallen for.

That camera video was proven to be a fluke and had no connection with the police officer. The police did not know he stole two cigars. Those were two SEPERATE incidents. The cop did not know Michael was connected to that.

Even if he did, does that mean the kid deserved to die?


Its sad that you do not see how the white media used that to deflect the real issue. To paint him as a thug that deserved to die like you are implying now. They tried to do the same thing to Trayvon Martin in order to justify his murder.


It doesnt matter how big the boy was, he did not deserve to get shot 6 times and left dead for 4 1/2 hours in the middle of the street.

MULTIPLE witnesses said that Michael surrendered, had his hands up, and was falling down to the ground when the cop shot him in the head (according to the autopsy report)

Why would the cop continue to shoot him when his hands are up?

Why would the cop continue to shoot him when his falling down?

I hope they arrest his racist ass and if they don't, I hope they riot and protest.

You need to do your homework and stop believing the media (its designed to paint a picture) but that picture is not always an accurate picture which is why you should research.

Do you know how racist and insensitive you sound with this?

So ALL black males are criminals?

[Soulflower]

George Zimmerman got out the car VIOLATING what the police told him NOT to do. The police told him to wait for them and stay in the car. He got out the car and followed Trayvon and instigated an altercation with him.

That is NOT self defense.

Self defense would have been him just staying in the car like the police told him to do.

Nonsense! You won't be able to post a single reliable statistic to back that absurd statement up.

The fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of black males murdered in the USA each year are murdered by other black males. And there are reliable statistics to prove it.

*Facepalm*

You can't be serious. Reading comprehension, give it a shot.
