Nothing new here.
My advice to young males is "don't be black". http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...n_5665935.html Quote:

"Belmar said one of the men pushed the officer back into his squad car and the struggle began (emphasis added). Belmar said at least one shot was fired inside the police car."
Leaving out any racial or age-related undertones, if you do this to me? You get shot. Until you are no longer a threat. If this winds up back out in the street because I am winning? That's on you. There is absolutely no justification -- even if I am harassing or threatening you -- for following me into a car where I can no longer do either. We can kick this around all week but there is no escaping that the kid assaulted law enforcement, who either retreated or was made to retreat, who then used deadly force to secure his own safety. What, if anything, that happened before this (even if dastardly law enforcement behavior) eradicates not that there was no struggle until IN THE CAR. At face value, which is not always accurate, I do not see a problem with shooting this kid: beyond the shittiness that it actually occurred. |
I'm sure there is a lot more to this story than what we have already heard.

Were they up to no good? Or did the officer do a George Zimmerman on them? Cops routinely harass young black dudes just on general principles. And I can understand why they get sick and tired of being profiled. Yeah, you should never push a cop, but then that's easy to say when you're not having to take shit from them on a daily basis because of the way you look. |

Were they breaking the law? Was it for "walking while black"? |

Word is he was shot outside of the car with his hands in the air.
The police are not coming out with what really happened. This smells fishy to me. |

KMOX is presently reporting live rioting and looting, the usual opportunist criminal outburst to sully whatever this incident represents.
