THat is not the issue.

The issue is that he was unarmed and shot dead in the street.

[sirs]

That's a fact, but the issue is what led to that fact

[Xavier_Onassis]

No, it did not.

[sirs]

Perhaps it would be useful to examine the tragedy with the facts on the table rather than through the lenses of hypersensitized emotions stimulated by those attempting to exploit the situation.... Dr. Ben Carson

So, yea, it actually does

[Xavier_Onassis]

No, it does not, and buy the way, go fuck your stupid self.

[sirs]

Ooo, Professor potty mouth strikes again.  Good thing I could care less what you say   

[Xavier_Onassis]

If you did not care, then why did you feel obliged to post this?

You have already said the same thing dozens of times.

THat is not the issue.

It could be a part of the issue.
Just like the policeman's past could be an issue.
If the Police Officer was a former Klansman it would be an issue.
So Michael Brown's past could be an issue as well.
If Michael Brown was a gang member with a violent past it could certainly shed light on his actions.

The issue is that he was unarmed and shot dead in the street.

An unarmed thug can still be very dangerous in certain circumstances.
I would not want an "unarmed" thug bashing my head into concrete.
That could lead to my death or serious injury.
I would feel obligated to shoot an unarmed thug that attacked me in a very violent manner.
I know you use the term "unarmed" to garner sympathy,
but unarmed means nothing if they can literally beat you senseless or beat you to death.

If you are sitting in your Crown Vic with the motor running and the windows up, you are safe from thugs.

[sirs]

If you did not care, then why did you feel obliged to post this?

Because, I see this as a debate forum, not a rant forum.  As such, if I see a misguided opinion, I'm compelled to make a correction &/or highlight the error.  A hopeful goal is to debate the "why".  Whether the person being corrected is mature enough to deal with the criticism is not my concern.  Others who may be reading or even just visiting, can check out the error as well

If you are sitting in your Crown Vic with the motor running and the windows up, you are safe from thugs.

If you are sitting in a Crown Vic and attempt to get out and a thug
with a bad attitude that just committed a robbery assaults you through
the open door and wrestles for your gun you are not safe from thugs.

[Xavier_Onassis]

You drive off, and use the radio to call for backup.
Unless you want a confrontation.

[sirs]

Police officer's are trained not to drive away from possible criminal activity....quite the contrary, in fact

[Xavier_Onassis]

What a lame, lame excuse.

Then tough shit, they end up in messes like this one.  Police are supposed to be smart enough to assess the situation. This cop was not and did not. He did not protest he did not serve. As a result of his stupidity, stores were burned and looted and his community was disgraced. A cop is supposed to be smarter than some wiseguy teenager, if that is what Brown was,

The evidence that I see is that they call for backup all the time: I have seen up to SEVEN patrol cars surrounding someone under investigation at once.
