    Why don’t we just allow the time for the criminal justice system to do its thing first. That is before we automatically condemn anybody. All this trial by the media (including well meaning but premature Editorial Cartoons) is not conducive to the truth or justice, one way or the other!!

    Michael Brown was shot 6 times, twice in the head for jaywalking. In Ferguson, MO.

    It would appear he just committed a strong arm robbery and it is likely he resisted arrest. It is also clear the cop when nuts emptying his gun when provoked. The police chief mishandled the situation by trying to manage the bad news. The press then had a field day and helped to incite the public. The black community went crazy based on the assumption none of their kids could do anything wrong and it was all discrimination. Then all the crazies swooped in for their moment in the press and the politicians went into damage control mode. Unfortunately real change will be the last priority.

    Do you live there? I doubt you have any idea about what you are pontificating about.

    So that is how the Conservative news people do it. How do the Liberal news people do it?

    This stopped being about Mike Brown a week ago. At this point, blaming this mess on Ferguson is like blaming D Day on the French. Most of the cops are from out of town, and the troublemakers are from all over the country. Ferguson is a decent low to middle income town that had the misfortune to be declared a war zone.

    So, that justifies killing somebody because they punched you. I suppose you and I draw very different lines when it comes to self defense.

    “If anyone feels he absolutely has to shoot, why always shoot to kill? There are many ways to disable an aggressive person with a non lethal shot. Put him in a hospital bed for a while. Let him think about doing something like this again.”-Unfortunately, “shooting to wound” is much less practical than our movies and our media assume. In the heat of the moment and in the fluid circumstances of a confrontation these kind of trick shots are more dangerous to bystanders and often just as lethal to the target. Better to concentrate on hitting what you are shooting at, and resolve not to shoot at anything you are not willing to kill:-http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/08/mike-mcdaniel/shooting-wound-selling-popcorn/

    Matt, smoking a cigarette is EXACTLY the same as robbing a convenience store! One has to be a total moron!
