StL County Cops Shoot Teen

[Brock Landers]

Hope so. Weekend looting is so much more fun.

Yeah, since the Cats and Chiefs have already played I really need something to keep me entertained.

My cousin is a teacher in St. Louis area, and they are being told Sunday will be the announcement.  Schools would be closed Monday and Tuesday.    IMO there will be a riot similar to the race riots in the sixties.  This has festered too long.  Welcome to Hell Louis.

I, for one, am looking forward to Rachel Maddow's coverage of the riots.

Police in 2014: Shoot first, worry about the facts later. How many more people need to be shot by cops before we make the punishment for abuse of power more than paid leave?

Wife's in St. Louis. Says there are a bajillion cops staying at her hotel.

Anxious for tomorrow. Hoping for the best. Not optimistic. What are the solutions? It seems like preparing for war (my interpretation of armed vehicles, etc. is) isn't the best solution. Perhaps the adversarial relationship between police and citizens in the area warrants it. Again, what are the solutions? How do we fix it?

Isnt it as simple as people protesting peacefully instead of provoking confrontation with cops for the tv cameras? Pffftttt I know that won't happen, but what if? Just what if.

[Dugout DickStone]

yup, don't provoke the police or they will kill you and can't be blamed for killing you.

The boyfriend, who wasn’t identified, told police that the couple had bought a gun because of fears of unrest related to the pending grand jury decision on the shooting of Michael Brown, the sources said.

He told investigators that as they drove late Friday night, the victim waved a gun, jokingly saying the couple were ready for Ferguson, the sources said.

He ducked to get out of the way of the gun and accidentally rear-ended another car. He said the accident caused the gun to go off and she was struck by a bullet in the head, the sources said.

That. Is. Amazing.

yup, don't provoke the police or they will kill you and can't be blamed for killing you.

I didn't say that. The question was how do we avoid unrest in Ferguson. The answer is protest peacefully. That seems obvious. I guess it isn't obvious to some people, and I guess that's part of the problem.

You've stated that you don't think that protests will be peaceful. Why don't you think they will be?

Not available - a Ferguson where there's no shootings or anything that prompts protests, peaceful or otherwise.

Yep, I'm sure the grand jury is taking their time calling all of the local school districts with the news of their anticipated verdict. Makes perfect sense.

White people, smh. I'd bet a million dollars the words n-word and/or coon were used in the car sometime in the last 10 minutes of Becky's life.

[Dr Rick Daris]

well that guy obviously shot that girl. i'm willing to take straight up bets.

Are they white? Didn't see that from the article. Do people still use the "coon" slur? And you and I both know there's a far greater chance of them saying the n-word if they were black.

Is that a serious question? Did you see the last round of "protests" before the GJ?
