Running gun violence thread

This isn't meant with snark, but who is Shaun King?

The ex-QB?

 

So the Walking While Black memes... what do we do with those?

 

If Brown was stopped because he was a suspect in a crime, why did the cops wait five days to point that out? While it may be germane to the ongoing investigation, releasing it when they did reeks of deflecting attention from police misconduct.

 

Those photos don't disprove that.

We don't know what happened before that. We don't know what was said.

And did the police confirm Brown had the stolen cigars on him when they searched his body?

 

Is this still in question?

Argue whatever point you want to, but we should be able to agree on some basic facts at this point.

He robbed the store. The kid with him admitted that. It's him on the video. The cop that stopped him had a description of him.

 

Grantland on the ground.

Yeah, I hadn't seen that when I posted this. He definitely stole the cigars.

 

LOL.

Again, there may have been no justification for shooting him.

But, he doesn't look "gentle" in those photos.

As for what was said, how does that matter. The height challenged clerk probably told him he had to pay for the cigarillos.

Would that justify Brown grabbing him by the collar?

 

I see what you did there.

 

The cops in Ferguson sound like a great bunch.

Let's not fuck up the narrative with an "iced tea" problem.

It's cigarillos!

 

No. No. It's actually a line from a high school teacher of mine.

Predates the stupidity of another Devil by 25 years.
