I haven't commented too much on this but lets be real folks... Brown parents failed him. I thought this was simply a friendly kid that didn't have a record or get in trouble but even if he didn't he was well on his way based on that video. And now that his friend admitted he did in fact steal from the store and act reckless in front of the clerk it destroys one of the major defense angles that he was good nonviolent kid. Sure you can get technical and say the two incidents are not related but in reality it does bring into question his temperament.

Every eye witness said brown and the officer got into a scuffle before he was shot running away... nothing justifies the cops actions BUT we already know how cops treat black men when given a reason. Brown should have known that too.. His parents never instilled in him that as a black man in America you are always a target. If you give them an inch they will take a foot. I'm glad my pops schooled me on this early. You never let your guard down or get comfortable in this racist white mans country. The deck is stacked against black men and we don't get second chances. I'm not saying its right, I'm not saying its fair, but at some point blacks gotta realize we are living behind enemy lines... until that changes we cant be complacent. I was taught this and I thank my parents every day cause I didn't fall into the traps many other kids did thinking they were free. The laws are not made for us. Michael browns actions that day indicate he was sleeping and unfortunately his wake up call cost him his life. So yeah after all is said and done, the cop hopefully may still be found guilty.. but brown will still be dead. That's not justice..

My mom beat it into me that I was not supposed to touch anything in the store. Whenever we shopped I'd see kids everywhere picking up cereal and asking their parents to buy it, but I didn't touch shyt unless my mom specifically told me to put something in the basket, or else I'd get punished.

Likewise my parents told me to keep my hands on the steering wheel if a cop pulled me over, and they instilled a fear that police would kill me if I didn't something mundane like reaching to turn down the radio. There was a thread earlier where some posters called this mentality weak...but it helped keep me alive, and I'll tell my son to do the same.

I'm not blaming Brown. Yet I can't help but think that this situation is essentially what my parents - and many other black parents - tell their kids will happen if they break the law or give a cop reason to believe they broke the law.

It's depressing thinking about how I've been trained to think of myself as a potential victim, and to focus on making sure cops don't have a reason to shoot me.

Between now and Monday we need to make it very clear that those two c00ns (Pharrell and Don Lemon) don't speak for us (black people).
:camby:


David Banner or one of them brothas if they want to be real about it.


This can't be real. It just can't be. The propaganda keeps going.:snoop:

Can someone explain how treyvon martin's incompetent lawyer got this job. The hell is going on.
The legal system is weird man. Competence in the courtroom is only one factor in being a lawyer for a high profile case. Johnny Cochran or Gloria Allred may be like a B- in the actual trial, but the lawyers that are an A+ rating in trial don't have they stats up in other categories. Like Johnny Cocrhan was an A+ in media exposure, an A+ in community solidarity, branding his client's message... all sorts of stuff the no-name lawyers can't do.

When the Treyvon Martin lawyer calls a press conference all the networks are showing up. He has connections just cause of his profile that have nothing to do with him being a good lawyer simply cause people know him.

this is why you have not seen the INCIDENT REPORT. They are still doctoring it up :snoop:

JUSTICE? :what:

what a joke


Yeah it is playing out just like I thought. The police will never truly give up their own. And white juries will never prosecute a white officer for killing someone black. shyt even the pig that shot Oscar Grant only did like a year and that shyt was all on camera. shyt white cops even shoot black cops and get away with it. This is the way of America ain't no post racial America, black president or new blacks gonna change that. We have seen brothas who were profession, educated family men get shot and killed and all the cops got at the most is fired. How about them pigs that killed that little baby in Detroit. Or the pigs that shot up that older sista in Atlanta...ain't shyt changed homie.

Remember the only reason that the cops in the Rodney King verdict got charged on civil rights violations is because LA burned for days.....now let that marinate.

This shyt is like watching the same movie over and over again and thinking the ending is gonna change.

Finally got through all of this thread. I've put so many people on ignore here.

All you #newblacks are embarassing. I thought this would be your wake-up call. I guess it won't until you catch a bullet in the dome by officer mcgrady for being an unarmed black male minding your own business.

You are white people's lapdogs. Instead of going at the perps...y'all finding new and creative ways to blame black people for their own demise as if we;re just supposed to stay inside and do nothing with ourselves.

And this type of thinking is why black people can be shot down so easily

was the man at Walmart a violent teen like Mike Brown

guess what plenty of teens get into violence

Mark Whalberg blinded a man when he was a teen in a hate crime, makes mike brown look like a boy scout

it's not just about mike brown its bigger than that

it's now the norm to kill black people instead of enforcing the law, mike brown had surrendered, now matter what happened prior to that, there was no reason to kill him, and he could have called for help after he gave up

stop making excuses for these people, black people do not have to act in certain manor to avoid being killed when the law is suppose to uphold above all else, and if we don't finally say enough is enough this is going to continue save that shyt for the newblacks

Exactly brotha. Cops shot black folks for pulling out their wallet to show their ID. We gonna forget that brotha is Houston that got shot outside his house cause them racist fukks assumed he didn't belong in the neighborhood. How about in Detroit when them pigs busted in and killed that lil baby girl. Naw fukk this shyt man fukk this shyt all day everyday.
