Michael Brown’s Size Doesn’t Matter
Black Press USA ^ | September 1, 2014 | By Lee A. Daniels

Posted on 09/01/2014 6:11:58 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

We’ve now moved to a new stage of the racist reaction to the police killing of Michael Brown: the largely overt assertion that he deserved to be killed.

In the immediate aftermath of Brown, though unarmed, being shot “multiple times” after being stopped while walking in the middle of the street, the “ballad” being played in some quarters went like this: we don’t know all the facts so we shouldn’t rush to judgment.

But, once the Ferguson police released the video of Michael Brown purportedly snatching a box of cigars from the convenience store and intimidating its clerk, that advice was quickly replaced by that old standby: criminalizing the person who was killed.

Now, the slimers have simplified their defense of Brown’s killing. He was not an 18-year-old teenager, but a man-sized Black male 6’4” tall and well over 250 pounds was a threat to public safety. In other words: a “thug” – and therefore someone whom any White person should be able to execute with impunity.

And that is the reason we train to shoot into the bladder area or the face/head, to stop a charging mass we cannot control with non-lethal force.

You don’t have a clue.
But neither do the rest of us.
Let’s wait and SEE all the evidence and then judge.

Not from the 22nd autopsy

True. But on the 438th autopsy, they will find what they want.

If not, schedule 1,297 more autopsies until they find it.

Typical victimization apologist for the blacks. This tripe is causing the black community to choke on the b.s.

"I suspect PCP is the culprit, not that they’ll ever let that evidence see the light of day."

Or synthetic THC. That stuff makes people do strange things too.

"...criminalizing the person who was killed."
Imagine that; wanting to turn Michael Brown into a criminal by making his activities of theft from a store, assault & battery against a store clerk and a cop illegal!!

Why doesn’t this reporter go pick a fight with a guy 6’ 4” and 290 lbs of muscle and then write this article? Apparently the report is going to say the cop was attacked and they are still trying to justify his sainthood.

Pray America wakes up

It could have made a difference.

If Brown was smaller he would have been even harder for the injured LEO to shoot.

Then we might have a dead policeman instead of a dead thug.

Who should I fear the most?

A guy the size of Sammy Davis Jr rushing at me or a guy the size of Michael Brown—who has already slammed the car door against me & attempted to take my weapon & punched me in the eye—severely breaking my eye socket???

After all those attacks on my body, I would try to kill the SOB with a cast iron frying pan!!!

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Michael might have dented the payment as his last act

You are right, I don’t like bullies with badges much. If there are some left that serve and protect, they have my support. If you love the cops and all that they do, you are a leftist fascist.
