Violent clashes between police and protesters broke out in the streets of a working-class Memphis neighborhood after a 20-year-old black man was shot dead by U.S. Marshals during an attempted arrest in his family's front yard.

The violent clashes broke out after Brandon Webber was shot and killed by officers on Wednesday night as they tried to arrest him for outstanding felony warrants outside his home in Frayser in North Memphis.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigations said officers went to the home at about 7pm to look for Webber who had outstanding felony warrants.

“Iron-cross-winning chancellor, recently married, dies in bunker resisting invasion of Red Army”?

I’ve not seen so far, but probably something pretty serious since it was the U. S. Marshal’s Service that was serving them, meaning the alleged crimes were Federal felonies.

I was just going to ask that. Felony warrants for what?

Is that not of interest?

I don't think issue felony warrants for the crimes of being "sweet and caring," the father of "at least, two" and enrolled in a University.

EVERYBODY is an “honors student” in some inner-city ghetto school.

Wonder what the warrants were for? I would hope something more serious than marijuana possession or drug paraphernalia.

he pulled a gun on authorities, so he wasn’t very considerate of his kids- Black folks now apparently think they are above the law and should never be arrested even if they pull a gun on police- if they get shot- the communities will violently attack police officers- again, because they believe they are above the law simply because of their skin color

He’s pointing it in a bad direction, but at least his finger isn’t on the trigger.

From the looks of those diamond encrusted teeth and wad of cash and that pistol he’s showing off and that US Marshalls came looking indicates something fairly serious common sense wise

Although he could have been a previous felon with a modern weapon which can attract Marshalls

And I’m no lover of police shootings like most here but first glance this guy looks problematic ...a kid making kids ..sadly....prolly barely knew his dad either

Why do we encourage this ....it’s the biggest failure self inflicted of the black communities and no black hardly ever steps up

Nearly all black leaders have illegitimate kids....it’s only a miracle King didn’t

Or did he?

Given his list for white women maybe some 55 year old Obama like descendent somewhere

More than anything this is the Durban Poison of black culture worldwide

OMG, yet another sweet angel, choir boy, hard working daddy murdered by the vile, blood thirsty cops........Too bad he had an arrest record as long as your arm in spite of those wonderful accomplishments and personal characteristics.

He was “father of at least two” kids . . . sigh!

Soon to be father to several more, since there are Social Security minor child survivor bennies to be plundered. It's a cottage industry for baby mamas to come out of the woodwork after a death, claiming paternity and signing their offspring for $$$$.

It is bracing to see that 97% of the comments at the site from the English-speaking world — US, UK, Canada, and others for whom it is a second language — are supporting the police in this case.

So the choir boy was making gang signs in one photo and had a newborn baby and a girlfriend in labor? This is the “honor student” the media wants to portray as just another guy working hard to turn his life around?
