The compliment of your obsession is a poor tradeoff for having to see you post so frequently.

Innocent until proven guilty. Mike Brown deserved a day in court.
If he got physically aggressive with an armed police officer, that is not a great way to get your day in court.

That's the new standard? Have you ever seen someone get arrested? Or like, watched "COPS"?
Getting physically aggressive with a police officer is a one-way ticket to seeing your day in court, so I'm not sure what your point is? The alternative being an execution.
I never justified the cops actions or attempted to set a "new standard". I simply made the point that fucking with armed citizens is not a good way to insure you are treated fairly and with respect. .
Getting caught breaking the law is a way to end up in court. But if you get physical with armed cops in the process you may just end up dead.

do you think if a black cop from Winston had shot a white Wake student down in cold blood that he wouldn't have been arrested already?
With all the conflicting reports out there it is tough to tell who is telling the truth. Sad day when an unarmed man is shot by a cop, no matter what crime he had committed previous to the altercation. I feel quite certain that Brown's actions escalated whatever confrontation there was. This does not excuse the cop for shooting him by any means, but I do believe Brown holds some responsibility for what happened. Obviously the cop holds a great deal of responsibility as well.
Really sucks for him (obviously) and his friends and family. Does not seem like a case where the cops were seeking to find trouble, but more of a being in the wrong place at the wrong time and making a bad choice under pressure. The consequences of that bad decision in this case is the loss of life. I am not sure what the proper avenue is for recourse/punishment. Tough situation, hopefully the evidence will be clear on whether this is a Rodney King (premeditated, intentional act of violence) or a quick reaction to a seemingly violent confrontation.
I thought being physically aggressive with an "armed" cop (as opposed to all those unarmed cops?) is breaking the law, generally necessitating a day in court?
1. 'MuricaSerious question, why aren't more LEOs using non lethal weapons? I'm going to assume the answer is just the NRA.
Ferguson Police could not have handled this more poorly:
-Cop shot Brown in broad daylight and nobody even checked on him for 30-40 minutes
-Left a dead body uncovered in the street for 4 or 5 hours in plain view of a community
-After multiple nights of violence they release the video of the kid stealing at the same time they identify the officer
Certainly not excusing robbery and looting, but strong armed robbery or jaywalking aren't and shouldn't be criminal offenses. Ferguson PD is tone deaf ad needlessly antagonized the community. It's painfully obvious that they didn't just receive the robbery video yesterday.
