Your thoughts on this murder?

[El Kabong]

Yes Black on Black killings is more prevalent.

Yet the #blacklivesmatter group is relatively silent on those deaths OR people will actually get offended at that even being brought up. Also the people brought up as "wrongly killed" are often not very nice good upstanding citizens....like Mike Brown for example. Now I don't care if he had marijuana in his system or whatever the way things went down that day don't point to Michael Brown being "accidentally killed" nor do they point to Michael Brown being "savagely murdered by an uncaring authoritarian white police officer" ....the signs point to Michael Brown not really wanting to deal with authority on that day as evidenced by his treatment of the shop owner and later Officer Wilson himself.

"Tragic" that a man (18 year old) would act that way? Yes, I agree 100%

"Avoidable" that a policeman would shoot a suspect? YES, but the suspect can raise or lower their own odds by the way they CHOOSE to act.

It's not rocket science, but you'd be surprised how many things that are supposed to be "common sense" need to be reinforced constantly to a certain sector of the population. Hence, my earlier post.

Correct, but I'm never surprised, always disappointed. And of course I didn't want you to feel like I lashed out at YOU in my response, but it's so fucking frustrating as I am sure you understand.

No way would a group that call itself black lives matter not raise black on black deaths.

Guarantee they would be first to raise it.

Media are not interested for their own reasons.

Well you'd think that, but I haven't seen the same emphasis placed on gang violence in Chicago as has been placed on when a policeman shoots a person of color.


That said I'm not in that movement, I see it along the same lines as Occupy Wall Street, just a bunch of SJW's with nothing but time on their hands

Sounds like the responding cops botched it entirely. Why was a rookie 4 months out of Academy allowed to split off from his training officer and when they met back up to confront him, the Corporal fires a Taser..and the rookie shoots to kill, simultaneously Of all cops, why no body cam on the rookies? Really both of these officers need to be terminated. Its not a race issue..although we're all hell bent to make that THE issue. We're loosing the ability, or willingness, to differentiate an individual case and instead default to this continuum of steadfast unthinking division.

El Kabong you have Bill backing you up. That says it all.

Seriously the reason why you do not hear about is the media have not broadcasted about it. I have seen Black on Black killings and it kills communities, people in the same church. Heartbreaking.
