    Why isn't this outright lying considered trolling at this stage?

    You should really watch the video's I posted earlier where he discusses that.

    Killer Mike is a play on words. His name is Mike, he kills mics.
    Gangster themed rap, but there is always a message outside of that in his music.

    did he actually say that michael brown was a college bound kid who got involved with some silliness?

    I dont recall him saying 'silliness', but on rewatch he did say college bound.
    I'm not sure if he was or not, but whether he was college bound or not, the officer did not know that when he pulled the trigger, and should have no bearing.

    It was interesting how the liberal media in the States criticized the Ferguson Police for being too overly militarized this summer in attempting to keep the peace.

    Then the decision is handed down, the protesters turn violent, riot, loot, and burn Ferguson and what does the media say? Where's the National Guard?

    Typical.

    :confused:

    There is a difference between shooting someone and stopping a riot.

    The cases are real and you can fact check yourself as already stated.

    I got the list through an email, but it's been posted all over the place online now I see.

    well i watched the first video of his concert and its populist emotional drivel. He has no interest in the facts of what happened. for him its just of the "race war".
    I didnt bother with the second vid as it took place a week after the event when nobody knew the full facts of what happened.

    and as for his rapping?? He aint no Wonder Mike.

    because it isn't. but then again you don't like anyone who doesn't stick to the narrative of always supporting the shooter/cop who shoots someone who happens to be black do you.

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

    .

    This is why I have brought his commentary up in this thread, the question was raised as to why this shooting has captured so much attention and so much activity and grown to such exposure. Mike is commenting on the bigger picture and why this has escalated rather than the incident.

    Describe what better? The absolute and utter delusion that Michael Brown was not a violent offender who attacked a police officer? The ongoing denial by so many on this thread is truly a thing to marvel at.

    got a link to the cases?

    Google one of the names, it isn't that hard.

    To be honest I don't think they have a place here, hundreds of murders go on daily in the US that don't make the national news. Its impossible to report on every crime nationally, be they perpetrated by black, white, yellow whoever!
    What makes this case different is that it was a white cop (sworn to protect) shooting an unarmed black man, who the officer felt was posing a threat and shot in self defence.

    Doesn't matter since I already stated that wasn't the point.

    The point is black on white crime never, ever, gets the attention white on black incidents do.

    The coroner said Briggs’ family consented to donating his organs.

    Gas station clerk shootingThe suspect is described as a black male, in his late teens to early 20s, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 foot tall, 180 pounds to 200 pounds, light skinned, with earrings in both ears.

    I googled a few of them, this one struck me as particularly bad

    http://www.wthr.com/story/21189737/family-mourns-death-of-southport-shooting-victim

    And then when I followed this up it got even worse

    http://www.wthr.com/story/21235636/teen-17-in-court-on-indianapolis-crime-spree-charges

    I nearly felt as bad for the shooter's family as I did for the victim.

    And this one was just messed up: http://www.pnj.com/story/news/crime/2014/06/11/pensacola-man-charged-homicide/10321269/

    Come off it amazingfun you don't expect us to believe that black on white crime happens do you?

    Focusing on white victims of racism is a no no you should know.

    Some people who watch too much tv or spend too much time on the internet think differently.

    Perhaps they should refraine from the tv and internet?
