  Not really.....I'm 48, already play in a band........if I grew my hair out i would be the poster child for "mid-life crisis" lmao

  That's funny.......wish I could find a job so I could grow out my hair.....I've always wanted to but either Father or job always prevented it.

  I don't care what side of the fence you are on, this is getting crazy.......   and I blame the media for about 75% of the violence.......I would approve of water cannons being used on them.

  I thought that Dr. said there was no sign of a struggle?? 

  hmmm.......looking more and more like a thug that acted stupid

  How on EARTH could the key eye witness miss that?

  Funny how they wanted loyalty from you after telling you, you would be unemployed......That would be like leaving your woman for another woman, but still wanting her to have sex with you until the other one moves in.....

  I think we are having two different conversations.   I do think Michael went for the cops gun or was attempting to attack him.   All I am saying is when two people shoot at each other it is hard to be "outraged" if both parties shoot back.  The old saying it takes two to tango.   THIS situation has an armed white cop and an unarmed black man (he was not a child)...only one gun by one person was fired......some people are "outraged" because the unarmed black man did not have a weapon.   Please tell me you can see the difference

  I think gun fire exchange is a little different that hand to hand.....I don't think there would be as much outrage if Michael would have fired a gun during the exchange.....so, apples and oranges

  Exactly......I worked contruction as a laboror to avoid unemployment......man that job sucked

  You"re not going to apply for a job because you want a certain hair style?   Please tell me you are joking.......lol

Nice try Smitty.....but apples and oranges

  I am REALLY surprised with one poster on this forum that is seeing things WAY different that I am......Even though we are on different sides of the political platform and a different race, we typically agree on most things.......this one we do not.

  So........   First Furgeson Police......can't handle it   Then SL Poilce.........can't handle it   Then State police.......can't handle it   National Guard.....????   I THINK they should "grow some" and arrest all media that get in the way! A cop is going to be distracted by all the crap and get hurt.

Proves you've already made your decision

^^^Powerful Speech^^^

H     How does that cop grab THAT guy and pull him into his car?  What guy that size would WANT that guy in the car with him?

  BigGirl refuses to read those articles 

  That would contradict the theory of him "giving up" after first shot.......

  Oh, I get ya!   He throws in all that "trendy" word......unarmed, then states Black against white racism does not matter......

  Would the fact that 4 of the 6 shots hit his arm back up the claim he kept coming at the officer? An arm shot would not put you down.....but finally the two head shots did?   I always thought the accomplice to the store robbery was never going to be a dependable "eye witness" .

I posted some information on another thread and it seemed to either get lost in the messages or ignored......So, I thought it would get its own post.   There is a lot of negative information about police officers since this Furguson incident. So, I did a little research and this is what I came up with.   On average, local police forces kill 400 people every year in the Unites States, according to a seven-year FBI study.   About a fourth of those annual incidents — about 96 a year, or two every week — involve a white officer and a black victim, USA Today reported.   So, of all the officer shootings only 25% involve a white officer and a black victim...........   There was 11,078 gun involved homicides in 2013......96 involved a white officer and a black victim...that's  .86% of total homicides in the U.S......the 400 only make up 3.61% of all gun related homicides......   So, are police Officers being treated unfairly? Why the outrage? In Furguson they are trying to make it a hate crime....."that cop dreamed of killing a black man" posted by our very own Buddy Garrity (from a tweet he received) ......is that really worth posting? Again, white officers killing blacks is only 25% of ALL cop killings......   Thoughts?      [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]  

I 100% agree
