Violent protests broke out early Wednesday between police officers and a vocal crowd of several hundred people who taunted the officers at the scene of the shooting. Two officers were injured, police cars were damaged and fire was set at a QuikTrip store. Four people were arrested.

After the police officer arrived at the store, one of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it at the officer, St. Louis County police spokesman Sgt. Brian Schellman said. The officer fired several shots, fatally wounding the man. The second man fled, and the dead man's handgun has been recovered, according to Schellman.

He’s not a victim.

Fomenting racial unrest serves four distinct purposes for Obama:

1. Distraction from all the other things going on

2. Providing a reason to federalize police

3. Solidifying the black base with fake racism — critical because Obama’s failed economic policies have hurt them worse. When coupled with mass immigration of marginal workers who will compete for the same jobs, they will be doubly-harmed

4. He hates the United States and wants to harm it.

“He was armed this time, wasn’t that what you were complaining about? Now he had a fair chance. We won. Deal with it.”

‘Yeah, that reporter needs to have to look down a barrel and know that he can only do anything if and only if the gun is fired at him.’

He probably wouldn’t understand. The cop gets one chance, and the chance lasts ~one second or less. Delay could, and sometimes is, fatal. Doubt there is any MSM reporter who actually grasps the concept.

I could understand cynics coming up with this like we sometimes hear the word “Amish” used proverbially here (apologies to actual Amish). But good grief. How can they have so many good kids think it is wonderful sport to... you know what.

Unless good really means being a good little ward of the liberal state... outwardly peaceful for a time but always simmering and ready to raise chaos when needed....

The headline is itself disturbing - raising awareness that the cop was white and the deceased was a black boy.

Such writing is totally in contrast to liberal philosophy which claims that profiling people because of skin color is wrong. Why is it OK to constantly describe policemen as ‘white’ whenever the criminal is a black person?

Such hypocrisy is blatant and becoming more and more unacceptable to fair-minded people.

Obama’s successfully stirred up the feral blacks, now he can enjoy another one of his multi-million dollar vacations.

Older liberals had some sort of principle. These folks just want to make trouble because they are mad, mad, mad.

And of course if it bleeds it leads, some kind of eleventh commandment for narrative media.

Along with Target, Footlocker and QuikTrip should call it quits within a 100 miles of St. Louis.

Did the article previously have the phrase “White Officer...” or did you alter it for posting here on FR?

It says “Office kills armed 18-year-old new Ferguson” now.

And F’ed up CNN report ‘pointed but didn’t fire”

If a gunman were to point a gun at the CNN anchor desk, the reporters would smile and offer him a cookie, right? No, they'd hide under the desk and cry like babies while calling for the cops to come save their sorry hides.

Toni Martin, You want my sympathy? We're the ones that deserve sympathy. We live in a country with people like your son. Your son has a history of violence including armed robbery. He pulled a 9mm with scrubbed serial numbers on a police officer. You failed as a parent if you didn't teach him better morals than that. Take responsibility and don't cry to me. some_text

What? No angelic teen “allegedly” committing a crime and pulling a gun?

Is objective reporting coming back?

"He’s not a victim."


Precisely! This young thug was not a victim in any way, shape, or form.
Even if regarded as a "victim of his own stupidity" it still unfortunately incorporates the incorrect word to describe him.
He was a vicious criminal who would murder any FReeper or similar decent person in a heartbeat.
No tears being shed here.

That propaganda is not the title now. Was it when posted?
