Yeah right! ...put her on the witness stand!
She's as credible as Rachel Jeantel, Trayvon's star witness.
An unarmed person CAN STILL POSE A THREAT!!! I'm not trying to exonerate the officer here, but the fact of a shooting victim being "unarmed" is not, should not, be automatically condemning of the shooter.
George Zimmerman shot Trayvon for good cause. A man with a criminal intent IS "armed" with that intent.
“Here’s what CNN has learned ...”
Lost me right there.
I am not one to trust police at all. But in this case the start witness is saying the cop just got out and shot multiple times? I have a hard time believing that. But now that the race hustlers are involved and the police department is on defense we’ll never know what happened. There’s going to be dash cam video or a cell video that will never be shown once Sharpton and Crump get their settlement checks.
This blog says that "All we know is that two men allegedly attacked a police officer, and at least one of them ended up dead. The police chief says they assaulted the officer while he was getting out of his car, and that a struggle over the officers firearm ensued" - - Read more at http://themattwalshblog.com/2014/08/11/police-officers-arent-the-ones-destroying-the-black-community/#i2yfMkG3m5pMzef8.99 ...which is a little more information...
I heard he was sitting in a church, reading the bible to blind children when the po-leece kicked down the door and just shot him for no reason..
"The police chief says they assaulted the officer while he was getting out of his car, and that a struggle over the officers firearm ensued"
Which is it?
Exactly. Fortunately for the rest of us, the burden of proof isn’t nearly as high as it it for police when defending ourselves (at least in Michigan)
Heres what CNN has learned ...
“Lost me right there.”
Exactly, and then they go on report one side of the story.
There is no dashcam video but there has to be validating forensic evidence elsewhere.
If there was struggle for the gun then the kid’s fingerprints would have to be on it somewhere — same with the DNA.
And then the location of the gun shell casings — if they are 35 feet away from where the struggle for the gun took place in the front seat of the car — then ...

Excellent point. Thanks for sharing fwdude.
"At least one of them"?
Editor? Editor? Anyone?
Where did you find that bit of info? link?
That video of Dorian Johnson sounds very credible to me.
I live in an affluent, low-crime town, but you can regularly hear just a basic traffic cop taunting and barking at a simple pedestrian or driver if the cop perceives movement that he didn’t expressly authorize. I can only imagine such a situation in a less crowded area, if his target didn’t immediately respond, apologize and do just what requested, especially if black teens were involved in an area where there is a lot of black crime.
On some level this really isn’t that different than all the cops shooting dogs needlessly because of a perceived threat.
An unarmed person (35 feet away) CAN STILL POSE A THREAT!!!
CNN is almost asbadas MSNBC
tis crap from the link
“ there were also reports of fires, looting, vandalism and attacks on police officers.:
There have been reports? I guess cnn couldn’t be bothered cover the wholesale carnage burning and looting going on all over the city.
CNN doesn't learn. They look for opportunities to support their agenda.
But there is video take with cell phones that was confiscated rather quickly by the cops. Will that ever see the light of day? If it doesn’t exonerate the cop I really doubt it.
