Weve now moved to a new stage of the racist reaction to the police killing of Michael Brown: the largely overt assertion that he deserved to be killed.
In the immediate aftermath of Brown, though unarmed, being shot multiple times after being stopped while walking in the middle of the street, the ballad being played in some quarters went like this: we dont know all the facts so we shouldnt rush to judgment.
But, once the Ferguson police released the video of Michael Brown purportedly snatching a box of cigars from the convenience store and intimidating its clerk, that advice was quickly replaced by that old standby: criminalizing the person who was killed.
Now, the slimers have simplified their defense of Browns killing. He was not an 18-year-old teenager, but a man-sized Black male 64 tall and well over 250 pounds was a threat to public safety. In other words: a thug and therefore someone whom any White person should be able to execute with impunity.

Legally, it does matter. If an assailant has a considerable size advantage over his victim, the assailant is considered armed under the law.
I don’t think that was the thrust of his post. I think he was saying TPTB tried to conceal evidence that this was a righteous shoot.
Err, I could be wrong. LOL
Dude (or Dame), I am as anti-cop as they get. However, even I believe cops have the right to protect themselves.
With Holder’s history of twisting evidence and race baiting (ala Saint Skittles Martin), I would try to keep the evidence away from his goon squad, too. the dipstick hates cops and appears to want to promote a racial divide.
I'm pretty sure I read of something happening between,
'being stopped while walking in the middle of the street'
and being, 'shot multiple times'.
Another low-life, race monger twisting the facts
to expunge any blame from a tribe member
and put it all on a 'racist' cop.
IWF
yes, I agree, but if Mikey was running away, why get out and shout stop if he can’t get the arrest done alone? Why not wait for backup as they say on tv
the hell you say
I think they reversed themselves on the broken eye socket
He would’ve been just as violent if he were smaller.
GMTA except that I think truth will come out. Timing will be more of the issue, IMO.
He didn’t deserve to die.
He had to be stopped.
The consequence of doing what it took to stop him was, well, natural.
Because of an active grand jury investigation.
Re-label:
"Violent Giant"
We “slimers” have simplified the incident by labling St. Cigarillo a thug. Meanwhile, people Iike the author of this apologia continue their eternal quest for the truth, not by painting Michael Brown as a martyr to police brutality but by objectively sifting the facts of the case.
No need for a sarcasm tag ...
Disparity of size is a legal defense... Wilson was outweighed and feared for his life - that’s justification for shooting the thug. And yeah, we know Brown was a thug from the video...
Black street thugs who beat up whites, Asians, Hispanics and Jews are also ‘unarmed’... and they should be tried for murder if there’s brain damage to their victims... Lee A. Daniels is a fool... and an apologist for thuggery... Shame on him.
I have to believe for many of the old stories I've read of similar incidents the lib media was able to cover up the pertinent facts. They can't do that today with the internet and conservative talk radio. Their bulls..t info about these types of incidents isn't believed as much by the general population.
You have obviously convicted the shooter in your mind. Care to cite actual known evidence or is suspicion and innuendo enough for you?
