All the thugs are saints, and all the police officers are racists. And they call us predjudiced.

Maybe blacks need to try to police themselves? How about they step up and prevent all these black crimes?

Looks like this guy has a record. Probably true but really irrelevant. The question is was use of deadly force called for? There has to be a justification or else why not just have cops shoot suspects on sight?

“Disarmed”?
Wonder if Hillary “understands” the backwards tribe that did this to him.

So, we have felony auto theft and two men in the car at midnight when an officer stops them and issues orders to them. One of the men makes what the officer considers to be aggressive movements.
The officer shoots.
Sorry, but when you steal a car and get caught and fail to comply with a police officer’s commands, and then make any movement that might be considered aggressive, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.
A Grand Jury will have to look at this, along with textimony, evidence, and any video from the officer’s car and determine if it was justified. Until that happpens, anyone rushing to judgement is on a fool’s errand.
Which is exactly what Sharpton, Jackson, Obama, Holder, and the other race baiters, progressives, liberal marxists, and black liberationists, who are looking for every opportunity to advance their ideologies are doing in each of these cases.

i don't know the details, but you can be rest assured every police shooting involving a black perp will be classified as a “hands up don't shoot” by the blacks and media.
If I were a cop I would demand to have a body camera, and if one was not provided I would buy and wear my own.
To: the OlLine Rebel
Just once Id like to see that the poor victim was NOT in the process of something illegal. That 12 year old in Cleveland. That guy in the Ohio Walmart. That guy the police shot in the stairwell in New York. There are, unfortunately, too many examples.
To: Mr. K
The media will ignore the in a stolen car part of this I expect the owner of the car to quickly be found and report that they let the sweet little boy borrow their car. It wasn't stolen at all.

What the hell does "unarmed" have to do with anything?! He's a freaking thug in a stolen car!
If an "unarmed" man broke into my house, he's leaving in a body bag!

Maybe blacks need to try to police themselves? How about they step up and prevent all these black crimes? Somehow that would cost the tax payer more than what we spend on Obamacare, medicare and the military combined.
