FERGUSON, MO The FBI on Monday launched a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a police officer, an incident that has set off days of unrest in this St. Louis suburb and pushed the question of racial fairness again to the forefront of American life.
Michael Brown, a college-bound 18-year-old, was shot and killed Saturday in this small, predominantly African American city after an apparent confrontation with police officers. His death immediately inspired both solemn vigils and angry protests, which in recent days have left some stores looted, buildings burned and shattered glass in the streets. At least 32 people have been arrested for looting.
Demonstrations showed no sign of abating Monday.
He was a good boy. He didnt deserve none of this. None of it, said Browns father, Michael Brown Sr., who was one of more than two dozen friends and family members at an afternoon news conference at the Jennings Mason Temple church near St. Louis. We need justice for our son.(continued)

While we can beat up Obama on this, what bites is that the past two REPUBLICAN presidents would have done EXACTLY the same (and did, at least once).

My agreement but remember is sop with investigations. Remember the first plane that hit on 911. Reports were everywhere that there was not terrorism link on that day. When the second plane hit ... sop was out the window.

CLASSIC pictures...we need to keep them circulating.
Why do people need an AR? Because not every confrontation with a bad guy (or group of bad guys) is at very close range.

Not everyone can afford an AR or AK, but nearly everyone can afford a Hi-Point carbine.

Two men walking in middle of road. Police officer tells them to get out of the road. They yell back that they are nearing their destination and refuse to move. The police officer pulls up to them and one of them pushes the cop back into his cruiser. A fight ensues inside the car where they fight over the gun. The officer discharges his weapon inside his car. After the first shot the man begins to run as the cop keeps shooting until he drops him.

Not the dead, the situation and the agenda. They couldn’t care less about Michael Brown.

Justice for our son = charging the police with murder.
that said, I'm not sure what happened. I am keeping an open mind... but if the police is quilty, then he should be charged.

A black definition of a 'good child': He finished high school by playing basketball and he knows 1+1=2.
A white definition of a 'good child': 'Graduated from Yale with a PhD'
An Asians definition of a 'good child': He graduated from MIT at age 15 with a PhD and at 17 sold a company to MicroSoft for a few billion dollars.
I'm joking...
