Looters are dumbasses. It's beyond me why the cops though thought it was a good idea to militarize the area earlier in the day is beyond me when they knew there was already anger over this cop shooting this unarmed kid 10 times and had been peaceful vigils and protests on Saturday. That all but insured that shite was going to get stupid and it did.
Now we get Al Sharpton and Trayvon Martin's lawyer to visit our city. How much you wanna bet they aren't staying in Ferguson?

Well if Jesse Jackson isnt there already, he is on the next private jet out of Chicago. I am sure Obama will tour the city in a day or two.

And this is why high capacity magazines are needed by private citizens.

The police said he was unarmed. They just said he tried to take the cops gun and then the cop shot him when he was 35 feet away.

Naaah....you have nothing to fear from the police as long as you're not doing anything wrong.

I guess he should have done what they asked him to do. There's a 0% chance they shot him for shits and giggles and you know it.

As one defines shits and giggles, I would put that percentage chance at a non-zero number. I'm sure there was a logic chain that went through the officer's mind as he put one through Michael's head and put 7 more in his body. We do not know yet whether or not that logical sequence in his mind was flawed or not flawed.

He wasn't shot 10 times. Of course people will over exaggerate. No cop will shoot a person that many times in the hood in broad daylight.

This story reeks of journalistic sensationalism.

The police said he was shot well over 2 times. I'm not just making shite up. The police said he was in the car struggling with the police officer for his gun and then he was shot 35 feet away.

How many times will they shoot him?

No it doesn't. It reeks of further proof of out of control police forces and the disproportionate impact of that on the black community.

Sounds like a Poe statement but no, I don't believe the cops were like "yep let's just shoot him with witnesses all over the place" -- who will undoubtedly lie when questioned.
I say we wait for some facts before blaming looting on police officers.
These people (I use the term loosely) will use any excuse to rob the frick out of places.

This is a valid reason to shoot him.

I agree, but there's a large contingent of people who will lie about this without a shadow of a doubt. Although he was not shot during the struggle.
