Too bad the BLM doesn't have AH 64s....they could've used 'em at Bunkerville, Nev.

If it was up to you, water treatment plants would have SWAT teams.

There are lots of guns at the bottom of the canals, but no SWAT teams.

And if they did, would the Third American Revolution be seen by future historians as beginning on Bunkerville?

If that is legit.

And if the cop in question had that description at the time he saw Brown, then I would say he had legitimate probable cause to stop and question him.

However, how it became escalated into a shooting is another matter.

And if there is an entrance wound in Browns back, or if he was indeed shot while standing still with his hands up, then there is no way to convince me that it was justified.

Needed for fly suppression.

Oooooo. You are really letting Zeke have it. It sure speaks to the quality of the rest of his arguments, if that's the best one.

Richard Sherman is Right: Thug is the new N-Word

Character assassination in progress, right before our eyes. I wonder if Limbaugh will have the brass to say "300-lb. thug."

This gets better and better... (sigh)

Paraphrased from earlier in the thread: "A call from a convenience store alerted a patrolman to the area where he observed an individual matching the description in the nearby road. Contact with said individual resulted in a violent confrontation where shots were fired."

That appears to be the direction we're going, evidence based.

Doesn't fit the narrative Zeke, white cop shoots black guy = racist asshole. Doesn't matter what actually happened.

There's white thugs too but because the 'perp and/or victim' was black, you are racist. It's apparently in the rule book.

Of course that weasel Rand Paul ran in late to the party with his op ed in Time magazine.

Agreed about the militarization Bob.

Nobody is going to mention how well the new commander is doing?

Now if Brown had been a known serial killer or child molester I'd have no problem with the shooting as it occurred.

Now we're getting somewhere!

A solid, evidenced based, modification of argument.
