As long as we're placing the burden of proof on the testimony of a dead person, i'm fine with calling this one early - fuck that cop either way, he should have used a fucking tazer. The value of a life doesn't change based on how physically intimidating it is.

According to the police and medical people, the cop was pretty severely beaten up. To me that doesn't sound like just "physically intimidating", it sounds like a fight occurred between them and then shots were fired....supposedly the initial one even inside the car. You don't believe that happened? Just curious because I don't see/hear many people acknowledging a struggle. It's odd to me.

Please tell me you aren't referring to the eye socket blowout thing.

Getting back to the OP issue, one aspect of this black/white thing that has always puzzled me is "acting white", in particular Jamie Foxx's comments a year or so ago. It really seems to be at the core, along with other aspects that get discussed. Can anyone explain it? I'm especially interested in the quote below because it really seems like it's "damned if you do, damned if you don't". The kind of hypersensitivity to racial issues he describes is going to make people feel like "america is not for them", isn't it? And what does it mean to "act black"?

“As black folks we’re always sensitive,” Foxx said. “As a black person it’s always racial. I come into this place to do a photo shoot and they got Ritz crackers and cheese, I’ll be like, ain’t this a b—-. Y’all didn’t know black people was coming. What’s with all this white s—? By the same token, if there is fried chicken and watermelon I’ll say ain’t this a b—-? So, no matter what we do as black people it’s always gonna be that.”

Maybe I missed something. Are we supposed to ignore that the cop may have gotten his face beaten in? You don't believe that might have happened?

The eye damage is definitely still in dispute, but the fact remains that Brown was shot to death 20+ feet away from the officer, clearly unarmed. He wasn't shot in a close arms reach struggle. Why is the story being framed as if he died during a fistfight, when that's a lie?
Did the officer require an ambulance, was he hospitalized, did he require surgery, stiches, band-aid? Did he get blood on his uniform? Did he even scuff up the knees of his fucking uniform pants?

Probably because there was a struggle for the weapon in close range. According to legal precedent, the justification for deadly force does not remain constant throughout an event. Many people have already pointed out that there would be less upheaval over this event if Brown had died during a struggle for the officers weapon.

He just committed a robbery(10-15 minutes earlier)where he bullied/strong armed another human being. Then he attempted to take a gun from a human being entrusted to uphold the law for all human beings. Mike Brown brought on his own demise. He was confrontational and he bears the majority of responsibility based on his own actions as a human being.

Don't quote my post if you aren't going to address my points specifically. Your simplistic, erroneous, and inane viewpoint is unrelated to my post.
Well,based on your own inanity we are expected to believe that in an altercation that likely occurred in a 15-20 second time frame there were 2 separate events contained therein...as if to suggest that some omniscient referee (rj?)had signaled an end to round 1 and the officer fired after the bell.
So no, my post is indicative of common sense and Mike Browns attitude after having robbed and threatened a man 10-15 minutes earlier compounded by attempting disarm an officer of the law is literally the largest variable in this unfortunate event.

Jusy how exactly do you think that we went through all these steps in 20 seconds?:
1. Cop tells Brown and friend to get off street
to
2. Physical confrontation outside of car - Brown punches Wilson, Wilson reaches for weapon, they struggle for weapon
to
3. Brown is 45 ft away from car/Wilson and "bull rushes" him
to
4. Brown falls from multiple gunshot wounds 20+ feet from car.
Maybe Mike Brown is really Usain Bolt and Wilson is The Flash.
You have to understand to Lectro if black kid does something wrong some time in their lives, they are automatically guilty for the rest of their lives and are fair game to be executed.
