    Yahoo news has changed the title from WHITE COP KILLS ARMED BLACK to OFFICER STOPS ROBBERY in one of their on line news reports..
    It should read ARMED ROBBERY STOPPED WHEN COPS ARRIVE, 1 SUSPECT DOWN, 1 AT LARGE.

    Michael Brown was the author of his own death, he has nothing to do with the aftermath.

    Obama, Holder, Sharpton, the media, a host of "witnesses" who turned out to be goddamn liars, and a boatload of people who ignored the facts are the reason for all of this crap.

    So my question to these people is this:

    Say you get your way and cops stop killing people that point guns at them and more cops start getting shot and killed...What is your end game here? What possible positive outcome is there to this scenario? The only possible scenario is that cops just stop serving and protecting at that point. Let's see how that turns out when tentative criminals become emboldened and emboldened criminals become insane dangers to every single person in society.

    I saw the AP article this morning and the media continues to be culpable in furthering the madness. The article was titled: "White Police officer shots armed black teen." Again, why does color even matter? Are they insinuating we let all non-white criminals go because racism? WTF? This is getting really old.

    Because Ronin. It gets people fired up and increases viewership which in turn crelates advertising dollars. Why waste a perfect opportunity to create controversy ? If nobody posted, got on FB on social media and ran with this shit, it would be another day.

    I wonder how that protester who got smacked with the hamner feels about the whole situation now that he's on the receiving end of those poor Black folk?
    If the Odds are equal, you're doing it wrong

    The use of the word "teen" also irritates me. While technically correct for 18 year olds, the only reason the media uses that word "teen" instead of the word "adult" or "man" is because it evokes an emotional response. Regarding 18 year olds in the news, the media picks and chooses between the word "teen" and "man" depending on how they want set the tone of the article.
