    Sure. That's why so many are in gangs and out murdering each other for their shoes. Good parents and all.

    Spawning isn't parenting.

    Not sure what my personal experiences have to do with facts.

    As you can see, some people are confused by the word "Parent".

    Less than 10 people each year are shot running from the police. 10 in 12,000,000+ million odds of an occurrence isn't a problem in a rational mind.

    In some areas of this country it would be quicker to ask "How many two parent black families do you know"! And either of those numbers are very to review! As I say, in this world we are all responsible for our own reputations!

    To be fair, it's not just a problem in black communities. They have the biggest problems with it though.

    Not having active, loving parents in a childs life is the root of most violence in this country.

    Single mothers are often not much better. Their kids are just a paycheck to some of them.

    More unarmed people are killed than this. And the amount of police officers being convicted is slim to nil, while cities pay multi million settlements. That is how "justice" works in the US. Putting it this way... people found the courts rather fair in them Jim Crow days, I bet.

    Which was not proven until after the fact.

    It has yet to be proven that the incident amounts to murder.

    Your opinion.

    Sorry, but this circumstance does not permit the government to murder an unarmed citizen.


    the unlawful killing of a person is murder.


    nope, an actual strawman.

    Yet again, there is no evidence that the incident amounts to murder, nor was there evidence that it was known beyond doubt that Antwon Rose was unarmed.

    Under established, existing laws and court precedent, it is legal for a law enforcement officer to utilize deadly force to prevent a suspect from fleeing if it is believed that such is necessary. Therefore the killing was lawful.

    Unless there is actual evidence to show that the law enforcement officer knew, beyond reasonable doubt, that Antwon Rose had no weapon of any sort in his possession, on his person, and posed absolutely no threat to anyone, it is nothing more than the opinion of yourself.

    nope, as there was no threat to the officer, or public. The suspect was unarmed. The government is not permitted to murder citizens.


    Sorry, but I just can't agree with you conservative fascists that the government can murder unarmed civillians.

    It was not known by anyone present that Antwon Rose was unarmed, and posed no threat to anyone. This was especially not known since he decided to flee from the scene in a suspicious manner appropriate only for criminally minded individuals. This was not murder, no matter how many claims it is claimed by yourself.

    The officer who shot him knew he was unarmed.

    Supposedly empty hands does not mean a weapon was not on his person. Such was not discovered until after the fact.

    So you think it's ok to shoot someone because you THINK they might have a weapon.

    What is or is not thought on the part of myself has neither bearing nor relevance to what are ultimately the facts of the matter. And the facts of the matter are that what is being decried by yourself has been standard operating procedures for law enforcement and the united states government for decades now. If someone is perceived as a threat, even if they are not, law enforcement is authorized to use deadly force if the individual officer believes that such is necessary.

    If that is the case, then why is he being charged with a homicide since he was just following protocol.

    The proverbial sacrificial lamb. The law enforcement officer in question is being charged to try and appease the particular subset of the community that has already proven they will riot and engage in widespread violence against others if they are not given what they want. When a not guilty verdict is returned, they will riot and engage in widespread violence against others regardless, and declare that engaging in violent crime is justice for Antwon Rose, just as they have demonstrated multiple times before in the past.

    It is the reason George Zimmerman was put on trial for murder by a specially assigned prosecutor, despite law enforcement deeming the incident justified self defense. To shut up the black community who were threatening violent civil unrest. The same black community that rioted after George Zimmerman was found not guilty of the charges against him.

    First of all LE is the ones saying his actions were not justified and there wasn't riots after the Zimmerman verdict. You don't have a clue to what is happening in America.
