By refusing to be handcuffed for the crime he was committing he started the fight. Could they have arrested him less force? possibly but once the started to physically resist being arrested he was the one initiating violence.
Tamir Rice was a tragedy but he was lifting his shirt and the police had every reason to believe he was dangerous. How certain are you that the police did not use the PA system to tell him to put his hands up? You do know they have those right?
This case was tragedy which should and has been reviewed putting young officer in prison for making the wrong judgment in situation we the people asked him to risk him life by engaging a person he was told was an armed dangerous suspect would just be another tragedy. He was only out risking his life because we ask him to and now you want to tell that if he makes a mistake you will demand he go to prison? What makes that even more disgusting is the root of all this is racism and not the racism of the cops but the racism of the mob who wants to convict of of being white cop like all the white cops they hate.
Might as well start burning crosses and get a white hood.
Sorry total BS. King never stopped trying to get up until the very end. More white cops sacrificed and the altar of he self hating beta male liberals who have never forgiven themselves for being born white and are to weak to accept the punishment they feel they are due and instead look for whipping boys to appease their guilt.
I am not sure you got much the correct bedside the names. We don't know if Martin was casing house like Zimmerman stated but we do know he had been previously caught with burglary tools so the odds are not that long that he was doing what he was accused of. Using inappropriate but emotionally charged words is sign of someone trying to hide from the reality that the facts don't support their argument. He was not stalked he was followed and we he noticed he was being followed by a "cracker" the young racist circled around and attacked the cracker. I know the left wet themselves with how cute they thought they were being turning the stand your ground argument around but really they are the only ones impressed. First off it was the media not the defense who used that argument. Zimmerman was pinned to the ground so that law never applied and secondly it doesn't give the right to circle back and attack someone you don't like because if their color of their skin and certainly doesn't protect you from results of that decision. If the police had showed up before Martin was shot he would have been arrested and convicted of aggravated assault.
Witness compared the beating he was giving Zimmerman to a UFC beat down. Zimmerman had wounds to his face and gashes on the back of his head where Martin was bouncing his skull off the concrete, the only wounds Martin had were from the bullet and the damage he did to his fist pounding on white crackers crazy enough to follow him.
Please support this or just admit you are full of shit. Seriously dude the physical evidence as well as all the credible eyewitness that Brown was not fleeing but coming back at the officer. It really isn't even close and believing otherwise puts your on the same level as holocaust deniers in terms of self induced ignorance to protect a deeply held prejudice.
Joel this argument is so stupid I have to suspect you are just trolling unless you really believe a police office does have not only the right but he responsibility to pursue a man who had just robbed a store and then attacked and attempted to disarm him. If you truly are that completely discounted from reality I suggestion getting meds and a good in patient program because of the many stupid argument I have seen on this issue that make them all seem rational.
Another BS argument coming from the same people who claim police brutality when those other none lethal forces are used. It is really so hard to just see that in every media case the person hurt was the one whose poor decision lead them to this. Sorry I am not sure what your mommy our civics professor told but the first amendment does mean police have to take your verbal abuse and fighting them is not a heroic cause and sorry they they don't have to rick physical injury or death because your dumb ass decided to go down swinging. To many officers have been killed with their own weapon to allow that kind of idiocy to grow.
