    It's not - I can't see any difference in the demeanour or threat of either my English lad or my American lad.
    One was shot dead and one spent a night in the whacker probably.

    one police officer had backup. the other didnt. One police officer already had the suspect try to take his gun from him. The other didnt. Significant differences i would have thought.

    Body found in Ferguson:
    FERGUSON, Mo. -- A body was found near Canfield Green Apartments Tuesday after violence broke out in Ferguson Monday night.

    That's the apartment complex where Michael Brown was fatally shot by police officer Darren Wilson. Monday, the grand jury's decision to not indict Wilson sparked protests and riots throughout the greater St. Louis area and nationwide.

    The body was found on the 9400 block of Glen Owen in Ferguson, near the intersection of Windwood and Glen Owen around 9 Tuesday morning.

    A citizen reported that an unresponsive man was inside a parked vehicle at that location, according to St. Louis County police.

    Police say the body is a male. His identity is unknown at this time.

    Police are currently calling this a suspicious death until further evidence is examined.

    **Edit: Some on Twitter say the person was shot and burned.

    If you can't see the differences for yourself, there really isnt much point in me wasting time explaining them to you.

    So what? Plenty of families the world over operate in the same way often going into similar professions. Proves absolutely nothing.
    it very much matters. it proves they're is a conflict of interest. it doesn't matter to you because you support those who shoot black kids going on your posts.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    It "proves" what exactly? And how? Do tell.

    As for the rest of your strange post: *eyeroll* x1000

    Or because he wanted all the evidence in the public arena.

    He did not release all evidence just enough evidence to trash an indictment. He followed a different process from all his other prosections.

    Who knew Nodin , someone I rarely (thankfully) interact with on this board...is taking such close notes of comments I may or may not have made on threads weeks or months ago. Frankly I can't recall a single thing you've ever said :pac:
    well, thats how bad they obviously were that nodin can recall them

    And he is free to call him out on a comment on that thread, not derail or manipulate this thread for spite. I'm pretty sure the AH charter concurs.

    Why don't you pm Noddy and have your trial off thread? You can exchange links and old stories in peace without ruining this thread. Or go back to the thread with the comment and address it there.

    It's a sh*t analogy in fairness.

    Not so bad that one could completely not know what it was referring to. In this thread no less.

    If an investigating officer has any connection to those being investigated, then there is a conflict of interest. No need for proof. It is actually presumed under law. If what is being said about the investigation is true then the conflict of interest is implied ie no discussion

    The rioting and looting is a joke.

    Its not about a cop getting done for killing a young black person. Its just people causing mayhem for no good reason.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,372 ✭✭✭reprise


    It's touching seeing those social justice warriors tipping the scales with stolen liquor and tv's.

    The rioting and looting is not a joke. It is about a cop getting done for murdering a young unarmed black person. Its not just people causing mayhem for no good reason, as if it was, they would be and have been doing it all the time.

    its all to do with getting themselves into a situation where they can have a go at the police and show that particular police force up. its not hard in fairness

    Maybe end of the road can explain how this is justified?

    Just wanted to note that it seems like people are arguing that because there is supposedly a high black on black crime rate(it's actually not significantly higher than white on white crime)

    Which crimes are they not significantly higher for? The one people claiming it is significantly higher usually point to is murder where there are about the same number of white on white homicides as black on black despite there being >5 times as many white people.

    CNN says the teen who was shot tried to grab the cop's gun while the cop was sitting in the car after punching him ten times?

    Because it's the opposite of what the majority of people think.

    What exactly do the majority of people think and how do you know?

    The looting is simply a bunch of ***** taking advantage of the situation. It's got nothing to do with justice.

    Because generally people think smashing your community up and terrorising normal business owners based on a completely unrelated incident is wrong
