Ferguson is proof again that you cannot have a rational discussion with irrational people.
A thug tries to rough up a cop and gets shot dead. The cop could have handled it better, but he panicked and
shot the kid repeatedly, and hindsight is always 20-20.
I get rather tired of the natives completely rediculous response to this.
Nothing justifies rioting and looting.
What do you mean natives Kimo Sabby?
The forensics showed he was
shot four times from a distance of about 10 feet before the two closer kill shots....that is purely overkill...for a box of cigars he may or may not have stole....
The
Sean Bell shooting incident took place in the
New York City borough of
Queens,
New York,
United States, on November 25, 2006, when three men were
shot at a total of fifty times by a team of both
plainclothes and
undercover NYPD officers, killing Sean Bell on the morning before his wedding, and severely wounding two of his friends, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman. The incident sparked fierce criticism of the police from some members of the public and drew comparisons to the 1999 killing of
Amadou Diallo. Three of the five detectives involved in the shooting went to trial on charges of first and second-degree
manslaughter, first and second-degree
assault, and second-degree
reckless endangerment, and were found
not guilty
The
Shooting of Amadou Diallo occurred on February 4, 1999, when Amadou Diallo, a 23-year-old immigrant from
Guinea, was shot and killed by four
New York City Police Department plain-clothed officers: Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon and Kenneth Boss, who fired a combined total of
41 shots, 19 of which struck Diallo, outside his apartment at 1157 Wheeler Avenue in the
Soundview section of The Bronx. The four were part of the now-defunct
Street Crimes Unit. All four officers were
charged with second-degree murder and acquitted at trial in
Albany, New York.
A few years ago I lost a wonderful friend and Christian brother named Urey who was asleep in his Framingham home when the local police broke down his doors and a sniper shot him in the head. They were looking for a friend of his son in law who sometimes visited the son in law....Urey (an African American man of 60 years...a good man who never hurt anybody....) was asleep and heard someone breaking in and jumped up and when he came out of his bedroom was murdered right there on the spot (in his own house)...it was OBVIOUS he was not this young man....he was OBVIOUSLY unarmed....the policeman was found not guilty (even of accidental manslaughter) and received 3 months suspension without pay....
So we all have a right to our own opinion but if you believe the press after the fact you are in trouble....after four shots this trained police officer could have easily got out of his way. Brown was unarmed and had not been shown to be guilty of stealing the cigars....the only demon here is the demon of racial prejudice and cowardice. So I will stick to my assessment and pray for this man's repentance. Regardless of what story was concocted for court he knows he was wrong and is and will be guilty for a long time...may the Lord forgive him. Those mentioned above were blatant murderers....no one (even if guilty how many times must you be killed to be dead? 19, 50...?
In his love
