    Stop trying to put words in my mouth I haven't said I have asked about it vis-a-vis racial derogatory terms used against whites. You keep dodging that.

    It's a fairly simply question that will have to be addressed in court. I'm willing to wait for all the facts from the investigation before drawing conclusions. But, I suspect that the question I asked will prove to be an important one.

    Funny how that works? One way ******s can do whatever they want and say whatever they want while white redneck, honkey, crackers, have to toe the line.

    I too will await the outcome of the investigation and trial before I make up my mind.

    At this point I suspect nothing.

    Which is probable cause. And they would not have had it here.

    Yes, you should stop commenting.

    Then you were detained illegally.
    Yes, law enforcement routinely break the law.

    I am not ignoring it. I think he was completely wrong. An opinion shared by the new DA, GBI, and just about every other legal professional who reviewed the police report, video, and letter.

    No, it was murder. That’s why they are charged with murder, and not manslaughter.

    No, a cop can’t illegally attempt to detain someone by threatening them with a firearm. That person has a legal right to defend themselves. It’s murder no matter if law enforcement or these civilians.

    Prosecutor is probably aiming high yet will accept less, they'll probably plead out to manslaughter.

    No they wouldn’t have. The description was “black male”. That’s it. You can’t stop every black male in the vicinity.

    Could be they're just trying to placate the community there, because so many people are calling this a murder and there's outrage (part of that outrage is being fueled by selective media coverage of the story).

    And if they didn't charge him, they'd be accused of "racism".

    What they plead to is irrelevant. What they did dits the legal definition for murder.

    What, they'd have let a white burglar away with it?

    I am sure looting liquor stores & stealing flatscreens lessened the Michael Brown death in Ferguson.

    Don't think it has been reported but likely a semi.

    No it doesn’t. The law is clear. This was murder.

    And nothing will ever change such. The only way for anyone to escape racism in the united states is to simply leave the united states, or continue living under the racist system of a racist nation.

    What was he wrong about and be specific.

    Are you ignoring the surveillance tapes too?

    The fact that so many individuals can be provoked into committed unrestrained violence over the matter of a single word, is truly astounding.

    Why do so many individuals of the black community conduct themselves in a way that suggests they have an exceedingly short temper, and are just waiting for an excuse to engage in violence against another at any perceived measure of disrespect?
