11.25.14 | The Civil Rights movement was founded upon the principle of civil disobedience. That doesn't mean destroy
Ferguson obviously, but this particular instance of police brutality likely wouldn't have received
mainstream attention if it weren't for the protests. I hope organizations like the NAACP litigate like
there's no tomorrow for state and municipal initiatives to create legislation that would make it mandatory
for on-duty officers to be monitored (badge cameras mainly). I feel as if that's the only feasible solution
towards ending the 'shoot first; ask questions later' mentality in police/emergency response forces. |
Mister Twister
11.25.14 | can we complain about James Boyd instead
because that one got no coverage or protests whatsoever that I can recall, definitely not to the extent of this one, in spite of the cop who killed him having stated just two hours prior that "I'm gonna shoot him in the penis with a shotgun"
and also the cop was allowed to retire early with full benefits and 70% of his normal pay, dodging an internal investigation
I'm just saying, it's better than complaining about a story with no real details known aside from those involved in the shooting, one of whom is dead and the other being defending himself |
treeqt.
11.25.14 | check your white privilege tbh complaining about getting shot is exclusive for black people you don't even understand their struggle |
Kman418
11.25.14 | i know like 10 cases from when brown was shot till now of the same general thing happening with varying degrees of evidence and such but the reason this story in particular is so important is because it represents how we as a culture are going to react to the police state abusing its power along with its rampant racism.
the point is this story has gotten so big nearly the whole country was paying attention to what happened tonight and when they decided to let him go free they were essentially setting the precedent for america thats people can mindlessly kill black children and walk away scot free
like, i get angry and upset and disgusted anytime a situation like this happens (which is disturbingly often if you really pay attention) but the point is this case had larger implications |

Mister Twister
11.25.14 | I'm just saying, if we're to complain about police brutality, it's better to complain about a case where the intent to kill was explicitly stated beforehand and was followed through upon, alongside the officer in question getting to retire early with full benefits, rather than one where the officer in question was harassed and vilified for months, and resigned due to the stress placed upon him.
I'm just saying, a cop getting away with premeditated murder that he even said he was going to do because the victim was mentally handicapped is more deserving of attention regarding police brutality to me than a case with too few details to passably make a judgment call unless, as the media has for much of the fiasco, cast Wilson as guilty until proven innocent. |
Mister Twister
11.25.14 | In any case, an appropriate response to the trial is definitely not looting and destroying the store of the guy that Michael Brown stole cigars from. The looters are giving a terrible look to those who are genuinely trying to achieve a just outcome. I understand the corruption of the police, but there were more clear-cut cases than this one to use as an example of how untouchable the cops can be. Assuming everybody's a racist until proven otherwise isn't going to get anybody anywhere either. |

11.25.14 | it was the correct decision, of course he should walk free. there were multiple witnesses, including black ones, who said that Brown lunged at the cop aggressively and tried to reach for his gun. it's a tragedy but since when the fuck is that a smart idea? reach into a lion cage and you will lose an arm. how the fuck are people shocked at this, seriously? it's these primitive reactions that forever make liberals come across as fucking braindead. |

2014 is already shaping up to be an amazing year in metal releases but could potentially be the best in a while if Tool releases something as well. If that happens, which album do you predict will blow minds the most? I'm leaning toward Agalloch, or at least that's my hope. |

11.25.14 | Facts are suspect commited a robbery and was stopped by copper.
While copper seated in vehicle suspect leans in through window and shot(s) are fired leading to suspect running and being pursued by copper who kills him.
Robbery leads to suspect being stopped.
'entering' vehicle leads to shot(s)
Fleeing (which is understandable given the circumstances) leads to pursuit.
Chain of events leads to death.
Don't fuck about with yank police.
Don't commit robberies.
Don't shoot unarmed suspects

11.25.14 | sorry, but fuck being polite. i have a message for all the people who say that the kid deserved it because he was a criminal or committed a robbery or some shit.
when you have a child, and your child inevitably gets caught by the police for some minor offense, i hope some asshole cop shoots them in the head so you can have a little perspective. if this was a white kid, 100% of america would be fucking outraged, not just 40% or whatever.
also, it's not clear whether brown was trying to take the guy's gun or whatever, but even if he was, is the rational reaction to shoot him in the face and chest a bunch of times? if i shot everyone who tried to reach into my pocket, half the city of rio de janeiro would be dead right now.
