I have heard repeatedly....ad nauseam...that Mr. Brown was an UNARMED TEEN.
Completely missing is the context. Be truthful, media. He was unarmed, according to reports, because he was unable to take the gun away from the police officer.
Which reports? it would be helpful to provide links.
On a guess? An assumption? A projection?
We have no idea what happened, and I doubt we ever will.
No thoughts on that but I notice the media portraying last night as a peaceful night but it appears to be false.
Also, the Paleostinians are now standing in support of the animals of Ferguson.

That ruins the story of the people who want to moan about cops all the time because they want anarchy with the far left,
One side we have black panthers, Sharpton, Obama, the Dem party, homosexual groups, A.N.S.W.E.R, anti war groups, the UN.
The other side is the cops.
What disgusts me is seeing a couple on here who use their left wing B/S to side with the left’s side because they are the ones who want to have no laws and hate the cops because they might have ben stopped for taking drugs, speeding, or not coming soon enough to their 9111 call over the dog next door crapping on their yard.
How do we know that was what he was trying to do?
Considering the cop that did shoot him, shot him when Brown was in no position to hurt anybody any longer because the cop could have ordered him on the ground and call for backup, how do we know Brown wasn’t simply trying to save his life?
Right now I’d take very little of the initial reporting as complete or even at face value.
What? You mean the cops name WASN’T Tony Stewart?
He was trying to take the weapon from the cop if you believe the cop. We can’t believe cop because he was white. All cops must be black.
No. He was standing in the road, reading his Bible when the policeman shot him for being black.
Try to keep up.
I’ve got problems with bad police behavior as well but that doesn’t mean I need to join the worst of the worst to try to fix it.
Look at Barry Michigan. The people forced the elimination of hundreds of reserve cops and the resignation of the police chief. Now the township is back down to 4 full time cops for a township of some 4000 people.
* Dash-cam ?
* Radio traffic?
* Injuries to the cop?
* Witnesses?
* Evidence of a round shot inside the patrol car?
* Autopsy of victim (shot in the back?)
Kinda like the first reports (and the next 10,000 reports) on little Tray.
Isn’t the only such “report” from the cop who killed him?
There is always good and bad in every profession , but I won’t jump on the lefts bandwagon as I have a mind of my own.
Barry MI sounds good as it lets the people speak and be heard.
From what I have read the cop sure seemed like He just shot him in the back. I think the kid had a pretty clean record, at least I havent seen anything to contradict that. So why would a fairly normal kid try to take a cops gun? that just doesnt make any sense. But then neither does just shooting him in the back, I think there is more going on, but unfortunately only ONE person is alive to tell it.
This in NO way excuses the behavior of the other vermin...
Just because someone is unarmed doesn’t mean they aren’t a dangerous person. Guns are not the only thing that kill people. Thousands die every year from bludgeoning with various objects, even just hands and feet. To me the “unarmed” part of this story doesn’t mean much until we hear the rest of the story.
Assuming he was trying to take a gun from the police officer -- and that's a really bold assumption right now -- by every account that I have read, the cop was 35 feet from an unarmed Brown when he opened fire. Even under the laws of the most gun-friendly states, a private citizen who used deadly force after the imminent threat was no longer a threat, would be sitting in jail right now.
