I think they need Tom Joad on their team. He already knows exactly how things went down without having to resort to stupid stuff like evidence.

You're just mad because you can't fire me.

That's the beauty of being retired.

I don't have a boss.

And having no one dare question your authority.

That's make me strongly suspect you are a cop.

The problem you are going to have is that your badge and your gun doesn't carry any weight here on the internet. Especially not with me.

So go fuck yourself.

I don't get how the new evidence i.e. the video of MB robbing and roughing up the store owner hasn't seemed to change the minds of some of my lefty friends here.
I kinda wish the guvna had called the national guard the day after the first looting followed by arson. I guess that makes me a bad lefty...

Simplistic, man. I can imagine lots and lots of states of mind that might occur in a robber, besides a plain "I'm entitled to your stuff." You just like 'entitled' because you apparently picked up a story somewhere that criticized black people for some odd thing called "generational entitlement," (you mentioned this earlier), and it's a handy rationale for a critical view of them.

Some alternative attitudes for a robber:

1, 'I've got a grudge and I'm going to hurt you by taking your stuff'
2. 'I know I'm doing wrong, but this is a way to stop feeling rotten for a while.'
3. 'I know this is wrong, but if I don't come up with the money by tonight, they're gonna kill me.'

That's just three, there's a jillion more. Not trying to offer justifications--none of the three just mentioned are justifications. Just trying to say your assurance that you know and can judge just what sort of guy Brown was is bogus.

Fine. That's just a claim that the force used was 'required.' Not shown yet.

Not generally. But if one does, it's murder. Sarcastic remarks about choir boys change nothing.

The vid totally changes the narrative.

It's changed my mind about Brown, but it hasn't changed my mind about the cop. Why should it?

I'm paying my bookie with a box of cheap cigars? Hate to say it, but the way he acted was pretty bad. And it's actual, not conjecture.

He's lucky the store owner didn't shoot him.

This is not an argument, of course, it's just an assertion.

I can simply assert 'you're wrong' and I've answered in kind.

At least you're consistent.

Most of the righties here that want to bring the hammer down on the Ferguson protesters were hero worshiping Cliven Bundy and his gang of armed thugs.

Don't you find it at least strangely coincidental that the rogue racist murdering cop happened to decide to kill a black kid this particular day, and that the kid he chose just happened to have only minutes earlier committed theft? I mean, what are the odds?
