This has been trumped up from the get-go.
The President’s comments tonight, while urging calm out of one side of his mouth, he also indicated that “anger is an understandable reaction,” out of the other.
What? This man is making things worse...again.
The grand jury heard all the testimony. It no billed the officer for a reason. This thing was trumped up from the get go just like the hoodlum in Florida. The 18 year old was a thug who committed felony robbery and then assaulted the officer. Then, when the assaulted officer was able to get out of his car and tell the big thug to stop, the this huge 18 year old charged the officer, who then shot him.
“anger is an understandable reaction, out of the other.”
I get angry sometimes but I don’t go looting and burning stuff down.
Obama’s speech was a clear statement of support for the Brown family and, by extension, the violence and looting.
This whole cluster has been a media driven joy ride from the git go. Even in our states, an 18 yr old would have been refered to as a man, not child, not teenager, a man. A man, shot dead, assaulting an officer.
