Why do certain groups of young men get shot by the police?

Just have Dorian Johnson (Witness) and Officer Darren Wilson submit to FBI administered Polygraphs. Then we'll see who's telling the truth.
Will holder defend the civil rights of the owners of the businesses that have been destroyed?

Meanwhile back in Chicago last weekend 7 blacks were killed and about 2 dozen wounded. Will jesse stay home and protest their deaths?
Lets be honest if a very aggressive large black or white man, attacks you when you have the gun, I would be the first to pull the trigger out of fear! Forkbush probably thinks there was a 90 percent chance he was just looking for a hug. IMO he was shot all on one side, it looks to me he was panic shooting as fast as he could. Again JJ, play the race card first get the facts second, it pays his bills.
If some of the late night protesters had JOBS, they would not have the time nor energy to go fight with the police all night!!!!!

This is a no win situation for the police department. If the grand jury reaches justifiable shooting the blacks will be out in force and try to destroy their own neighborhood! Really a smart thing to do. Nothing wrong with a friendly protest, this has moved beyond this every night the sun goes down.
If the officer is found guilty he is going to have the book thrown at him. And the blacks will still basically have a riot to "welcome the verdict"!

Obama is sending his best man "Holder" to straighten this all out. I am sure that Henderson feels safe now! How many times has this president stepped up anything for a white person since taking office? He has had no plan to curb the violence in his home city let alone the country! Maybe he can place a personal phone call to another black "coming out"or hell just go finish his vacation.

Apparently many of the looters feel like they have new jobs now...



“We are jobless men, and this is our job now — getting justice,” he said. “If that means violence, that’s okay by me. They’ve been doing this to us for years.”

While some of those arrested for stealing are from Ferguson, a large number have addresses listed in Illinois or in Texas.

“It’s like looting tourism,” an officer commented as he showed the reports. He asked not to be named. “It’s like they are spending their gas money to come down here and steal.”

And frankly, sometimes...you have to cull the herd, white or black !
And if your life WASN'T being threatened (nor anyone else's life) - it's murder. Can we agree on that?

Oh, and as far as your "cull the herd" remark. Quality police departments excludes people like you in their psych exam.

Yes he will........... as long as a couple hundred members of the media show up as well.

40 FBI agents have been brought in to investigate a local shooting. How many FBI agents are investigating the murders in Chicago?

Umm, . . . . no.

"A police officer may not seize an unarmed, nondangerous suspect by shooting him dead . . . however . . . Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent escape by using deadly force."

—Justice Byron White, Tennessee v. Garner

Umm, . . . . yes. (Bold captions for the deliberately obtuse.)
