    Racism-Racism, it's all the left has...

    They live for these phony episodes.

    The moral of the story is you live like a thug,

    you just might die like a thug.

    How many Homicide happen each week in Downtown Louisville and how
    many by blacks.I mean,please for the sake of clarity give us a ratio.
    How many black on black homicide and how many White on Black.
    And do those like liberal congressman John Yarmuth even give a
    gillhooley.Why all the preoccupation over this shooting.

    Oh ! how cute as a daisy.Yer bugged no end by my " spelling and grammar ".
    Let me take a stab here ... Yo Liberal { as opposed to Yo Yeats }
    If you were to hear someone like Mike Brown on a witness stand like Trayvon's
    Dee Dee you would feel enlightened as to their originality.Do I have that about
    right.That is how you lefties roll.Blacks can talk Ebonics and stuff like what I heard
    " Big Mike " sing on his rapper video { Honestly I could barely make out what he
    says } and the left just seems enthralled.
    This is all a Con folks.Like L.B.J.'s Great Society.

    Let's ask the same question about R. King. Why was he beaten but not the others?

    The second Black man was the freaking eye witness that the Mainstream Media took his word as gospel without bothering to point out to the nation that he was also automatically the co-suspect in the assault on the officer. Oooops! Oh and it so happened that while the fellow was issuing his false statement to the eager press a real eyewitness nearby was refuting everything the fellow said, but the media ignored the fellow. Unfortunately for them the man's real eye witness testimony could be heard over the liar's false statement. So . . . it . . . goes.

    The robbery has nothing to do with the fleeing felon rule to justify lethal force. With that eliminated, only one other is relevant to the shooting itself. Whether the officer felt he or others were in grave danger of bodily harm.

    This is all liberals' fault. Higher tobacco taxes push other liberals to violence and theft to obtain this now premium product sometimes at a high risk to themselves. Elitist greed kills. Not that elitists care or would refrain from exploiting the crisis they've created.

    Do you work hard to intentionally (*)(*)(*)(*) up your posts so badly or is it just by accident? Or do you only post when you're drunk? It seems a combination of all.

    I could give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about Big Mike. The robbery that morning is NOT relevant to the officer-involved shooting. No more than if the robbery was the day before or the week before. I don't know how much more simply one can put it for you. If I used crayons for you, would it make more sense?

    The only justifiable use of deadly force related to the robbery would be if the shop owner had used it to defend himself. Or if the cop had arrived in the commission of it. But none of that occurred. The robbery was done and gone. There was no imminent danger to the shop owner or anyone else related to that robbery. Strong-arm robbery, in and of itself, especially past tense, is no justification for lethal force. You can't kill someone for committing the act the day before, hours before, or minutes before if the danger has passed.

    Will the robbery come up in trial? No doubt. But not in the context of how Brown came to be killed by the cop at a later time.

    People get arrested for resisting arrest all the time. They don't necessarily get killed for it.

    " so completely badly " is poor grammar..Something is either bad or not.
    Something cannot be done half badly or most badly.You do realize how much an a$$ yer making of yerself.

    " Completely " is a quantifier that establishes reaching a limit.

    We can only guess because of the lack of information about the incident. I would speculate that when Mr. Williams shoved the officer in his car and was allegedly beating him, there was a struggle for the officer's gun and it went off fatally injuring Mr. Williams. Before he could bleed out, Mr. Williams (maybe in shock and not realizing the gravity of his injury) started running away, officer shoots to stop Mr. Williams but not kill him. Mr. Williams hears shots, drops to knees with hands up but it's too late, he was fatally wounded in the car. He keels over dead he only got 35 feet away from the car. (Disclaimer: speculation only) It will be interesting to find out on what part of his body Mr. Williams was shot and how many bullet holes.

    Michael Brown was not 35 feet away from the police officer when he was shot. He was 35 feet away from the car. The officer had chased him approx 20 feet according to eye witnesses. He was ~4 meters (12 feet) from the police officer when he was shot. There are conflicting eye witness accounts, but one account is that he was rushing toward the officer at the time of the shooting.

    Sorry...but you also forgot I am NOT a liberal or a fan of Obama, I'm just not keen on people posting stupid stuff. There is nothing within your post to forget in the first place, as it has no bearing whatsoever on the topic and is obviously meant to derail.

    We generally refer to this as trolling.

    Because he violently resisted arrest and refused to comply with arresting officers not having been searched for weapons. King controlled what happened that night just as Brown controlled what happened that day. Why weren't the others beaten? They peacefully complied to the orders of the police and were taken into custody.

    Using violence to steal is a violent felony. It's not how much that was stolen that matters. It's the fact that he used violence.

    Now, it hasn't been established that the policeman knew about the robbery, at least not that I've read.

    Strawman, no one is saying he should have been shot because he committed a robbery, why the phony arguments?

    Lack of rebuttal noted, King made himself a victim.

    Why weren't the others beaten? They peacefully complied to the orders of the police and were taken into custody.
