I'll say this-
Go to the video on Youtube and read people's comments.
There are many, many people who believe the cop had no right to shoot the guy who was pointing a loaded and cocked gun at him.
They know the guy had a gun.
They know it was loaded.
They know the guy pointed it at the cop - it's all there on the video.
And they don't care.

These people seem to believe that in any armed confrontation between the police and the public it must be the cop who dies.
If the member of the public dies he has been murdered.
Even if he was engaged in a criminal act while armed and dangerous.
You can give out all the body cameras you like.
Video evidence will make no difference to these people.
A very large segment of the population is simply not rational.

Interesting sample:

  1. Black cop kills black perp.
  2. White perp kills white cop.
  3. White cop kills black perp.

    The NAACP only cares about #3. They don't give a damn about Miriam Carey either, an unarmed black mother with a baby in the back seat gunned down by DC cops. Why?

I was saying that very thing when St. Michael of Swisher was shot. It wouldn't have mattered to the race-baiters one bit if there were videos from 5 different angles showing the truth.

Facts haven’t been relevent for a while. It’s not accidental. Just saying...etc.

Body cameras were never going to make any difference. The left only cares about incriminating cops not the other way around.

Simple: Point a gun at a police officer, expect to receive incoming fire. Neither color, race, sex, nor anything else is relevant.

Exactly. Facts were never going to matter in the case of Brown.

Pleas Thompson is the leader? Is that a street name? What kind of pleas are required for leadership there?

NAACP should go visit a shooting range. Stand a few feet from someone firing a .45 cal semi-automatic. Then imagine themselves on the business end of the gun not the side of the gun. They may just come away with a slightly diff. viewpoint.

Good quote, but not Einstein. French philosopher Ernest Renan, 1903, Au pays des isards.

“Ce n’est pas l’immensité de la vôute étoilée qui peut donner le plus complétement l’ideé de l’infini, mais bien la bêtise humaine!” -- translates roughly to “it is not the starry sky that can give the most complete idea of the infinite, but human stupidity!”

You see, the white man was guilty first, because he is white.

“Cop Who Shot Armed Black Suspect Pointing Gun at Him Should Have ‘Asked Questions’ First”

The suspect asked a question with his gun and the cop fired right back with his own.
