Really? The Johnson kid already admitted to being in the video. So his holding a cigar would be considered proof? The absence of which means...?
None of that matters. The kid was in police custody, unarmed. He wasn't mace'd, he wasn't pepper sprayed, he wasn't tazed, he wasn't held down by four or five cops and choked to death, he was shot dead.
Let's try to remain conscious here. My last was in response to BSAM's questions. Now HTF was he in police custody?
I don't come down on an ideological side on this one. Nothing I've read resolves my primary question. How does an unarmed person get a whole clip shot into them? But I'm conflicted by my upbringing. Where I am from if you shove a cop you are going to be on your knees staring into the barrel of a large handgun immediately and your existence going forward from that moment depends on the level of compliance and supplication you exhibit until that gun is holstered. Fact. It has nothing to do with white or black at that point.
There is a select group here that will make every effort to find fault with the dead guy. But that doesn't mean that one can't post stuff that might be of interest to others.
This is becoming the equivalent of the Trayvon Martin case. As more and more facts come out it turns out the youth is not an innocent victim.
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Sports/2014/08/14/Gilbert-Arenas-Rips-Sharpton-Black-Community Former Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas weighed in regarding the death of 18-year-old Mike Brown, which precipitated riots in Ferguson, Missouri. Noting Al Sharpton seeking to involve himself in the proceedings, Arenas took to Instagram to launch an attack on Sharpton, using racially insulting language and asserting that "the racism fight has never been #blackvswhite, it's always been #blackvsblack." Arenas began by paying respect to the decedent and then castigating the black community: I would like to start off by saying too the family of the victim GOD BLESS#RIPmichealbrown you will be missed: too EVERY African American out there..how dumb are we really???every time we hear some bad news, the first thing we do is #RIOT #ROB #STEAL #BURN sh-t in our OWN neighborhoods..this racism fight has never been #blackvswhite, it’s ALWAYS been #blackvsblack from what the stats.. About 10 riots from the black community over the years and the only thing damaged ,was the BLACK COMMUNITY by The BLACK COMMUNITY..only reason they issue riot police isssss just in case you actually got smart enough to walk 6 blocks ,YALL ain’t f---ing up white rich s--- smdh But then he segued into an attack on Sharpton: FAMILiES of the victims pleaseeeeee stop asking #alsharpton to speak or ur behalf,you have a better chance having #caesar the monkey from #planetoftheapes to get justice for you..the stats also show AL coon sharpton has not helped one situation he has protested at,he actually made it worst and because of him the jury goes the other way..(think about it) Jena six,trayvon and the list goes back way back..#AL ur like a #THOT in the club,lookn for attention what u said at trayvons rally #enoughisenough ur right were tired of u PRETENDING.
