    Ted, where’s the depiction of the 300 pound guy stealing a box of cigars then smashing a cop’s eye socket while high on pot?The “race riots” are over because the truth is coming out about Michael Brown being a thug, and the “star witness” is wanted on a warrant and his word is not credible. The media played you for a fool, Ted. But you still obviously have your mind made up as to how it all played out in your mind.

    If the cop had a smashed eye-socket he did surprisingly well getting six bullets into his target, lacking binocular vision. I have heard no report of him needing hospital treatment before being sent home on suspension.

    As to the pot, I think you’ve got your drug horror stories mixed up: the pot smokers I know turn into giggling morons, not raging bulls.

    Those six bullets also suggest he decided that Michael Brown had to die, not be arrested, especially the one that entered the top of Brown’s head.

    The usual trying to rewrite history to suit ones biases.

    Why are ALL of the media showing pictures of Brown as an angelic teen? Same thing they did with Martin in Florida. Maybe they are biased after all. Surprise surprise.

    W J L: ?? Angelic teen? That video, which has been aired over and over, exposes Brown as a huge bully. Nothing angelic there.

    Still doesn’t justify murdering him, any more than Martin being an obnoxious teenager justifies murdering him.

    Shootings of black men by white cops happens shockingly often, but what happens all the time – every night, everywhere – is driving while black and stop and frisk. Which is a disgusting violation of the Fourth Amendment.

    All Ted had to do was have that sign say “Check Point Charlie”! Think Berlin Wall.

    @PianoGuy24Are you referring to the debunked claim that the cop got his eye socket smashed in?

    Saying a black person is a traitor to themselves if they vote republican is a very racist thing to believe. You’re putting the whole black race into a box that fits only your ideals of what and how blacks should act and believe taking away their ability that they can do whatever THEY want. Way to keep them on a plantation, Night-Gaunt49.

    Hmm…… Seems like Teddy bought the now proven, false statements that Brown was shot execution style in the back with his hands up………. Maybe Ted missed the autopsy?“During interviews after the Michael Brown shooting Johnson told reporters that his friend was “shot like and animal” and was running away with his hands up. Johnson’s comments helped spark the viral hashtag – #HandsUpDontShoot. Two other Ferguson shooting witnesses also later stated that Brown was running away with his hands up. Tiffany Mitchell and Piaget Crenshaw were the Brown shooting witnesses which appeared to back up Dorian Johnson’s accounting of the events. “The second time he says, ‘I’ll shoot,’ a second later the gun went off and he let go. That’s how we were able to run at the same time. The officer pursued Brown and fired another shot, which struck Brown in the back,” Johnson told USA Today”.
