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.

Oh I imagine far more than actually happen.

[Tenacious 1]

There has to be a justification or else why not just have cops shoot suspects on sight?

That's what they are doing all over the country now, at least the white cops when the suspect is black. Haven't you watched the news lately? Al Sharpton explained it best.

He just stole that car to go to the grocery store to help feed his family..he’s a gentle giant like Saint Trayvon and Saint Michael

[capydick]

First, consider the source.

Will it be the HuffingtonPuffington Post or MSLSD that first has the headline:

It's Open Season on Blacks

[Tenacious 1]

I’ll bet there is a race to Florida right now. It’s media whore Canonball Run to Florida now for Sharpton, Jackson, Holder and Obama.

“Last one there is a white guy!”

[Cubs Fan]

I wonder how many unarmed black people (that the media payed no attention to) have been gunned down by other black people since this ferguson charade began, 500? 1000? 2000?

Hypocritical doesn’t even begin to describe it

Victim status— way more addictive than any drug

” 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.”

If I commit armed robbery, steal a car, or any violent offense, I wwould EXPECT to be shot. If I don’t get shot, I would consider myself lucky.

[PistolPaknMama]

LOL! And he’s such a good boy!

[Tenacious 1]

How does one put their hands up inside a car ?

Why do you ask relevant questions? I'm sure it was a convertable or something. Just shut up already. You want another racist cop to get away with the cold blooded murder of a black child with unlimited potential?

sarcasm

[NorthMountain]

Why do they need “leaders”?

Darn good question.

Better question: Do they need "leaders"?

Are these "leaders" just self-appointed troublemakers?

What do the people they claim to lead actually think of them?

unarmed black man

Drink!

[Sacajaweau]

Of course he did. He was a pray’n. Hallelujah

[Sacajaweau]

Yeh....but he beat the one with 30 arrests??

[DoodleDawg]

Mock it all you want I think it's a serious question. I'm certainly not saying that police are never justified in using deadly force. But I also believe that there are cases where it's hard to belive that the police were justified and where they walk away from it, and that I find disturbing. I don't know what the whole story here is, but "extensive furtive movements" seems like a very vague excuse.

[MeshugeMikey]

Hillary UNDERSTAND?? ahahahaha

[Kenton]

Bartee had a history of arrests on at least 45 charges since 1999, according to a list provided by the sheriff, but the deputy was not aware of his background at the time of the shooting, Demings said.

Well, that's a relief. At least he wasn't "profiled".

[smokingfrog]

Bartee underwent surgery and was in stable but critical condition late in the afternoon, the sheriff said. A second man in the car was arrested unhurt.

[gunnut]

The 12 year old had a weapon. It was not a real gun but how was the officer to know that?

You make a fair point. Here is the case for a total mockery of incidents where black men/kids are shot by white cops. Because ignorant black people, incited by racist black leaders, are burning the black peoples neighborhoods to the ground based on lies and false premisis routinely now.

ANYTIME a white cop shoots a black person these days, THIS FReeper will first give the benefit of the doubt to the cop. That will be true for rubgy players too when accused of rape. I don't trust the media or the government. So I'll make a mockery of these instances until the evidence is out. They have earned it!
