The suspect was referred to as an African American, 23 years of age. Just to keep the original statements from the presser:
According to police, the suspect pulled out a knife and was acting erratically when officers arrived. Chief Sam Dotson told reporters the suspect told responding officers to shoot me now, kill me now. Dotson said officers asked the suspect to drop the knife, which he was holding in an overhead grip, and the suspect refused to do.
When the suspect approached the officers carrying a knife, officers fired shots striking the suspect. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting.

Right. The local news anchors are emphasizing that this incident has “nothing to do” with the events taking place in Ferguson. Okay then.

Now agitators had to be in two place at one time. Too much work.

Apparently Ferguson was already picked clean by looters so its on to new grounds.

Lived several times in places where postal is different from corporate. Frustrating when zip code doesn’t match your address on vendor software.

I live in a very small zip area that keeps trying to put me over near Detroit.

Vlad's News Service is
on the case already. They did manage to fit a key detail into the first sentence.
From further down in the article: Apparently, two cops fired simultaneously from a distance of three or four feet.

We’ll need to examine from which this mindset comes on the left...
It has to start with “what does God say about this” and turn it on its head, then you’ll get what the left thinks of any issue.
