sometimes I forget he has AIDS.

ease up on those snacks there Mage…
i swear mang.
Not really. That’s a pretty low level conspiracy theory. As was said there’s documentation of it being done in the past, and it’s so effective and simple to implement. All it takes is one guy being a shithead to stir up the police, and it’s not like the crowd will vet the people standing next to them. Hell just think about what undercover cops do.
Huh. News to me then.
It’s about to go down like this if the protesters have any balls. Screw the oppressed system. We are all slaves!!!
Dude you made these way too easy for me. But I thank you, because this is going to be fun.
this is your own quote
That was the exact explanation given by the Ferguson police department when the shooting happened.
That Brown went for the gun, there was a struggle, and then Officer Wilson shot him.
That was his side of the story from the beginning.
Of course there was Johnson’s account and the other independent witnesses who claimed that there was no struggle that Brown was grabbed by the throat and tried to pull himself away from the cop vehicle and was then shot.
There was no consideration of the witnesses’ explanation and no skepticism shown towards the police officer’s account.
In other words you decided to choose one side of the story: the police’s.
But oh wait you were that same motherfucker who was admonishing the rioters for jumping to conclusions, and writing off the possibilities for the other sides of the story and not waiting to get all of the facts.
And you talked out both sides of your ass and still tried to defend this man.
So his actions were understandable, yet still wrong? Right, tell me that isn’t a contradiction.
It sounded to me that you were trying to make an excuse; that you were trying to paint a picture of a man who was a good cop who felt took revenge on some thug who tried to do them wrong. You
that anything else could have been sinister about the murder. As for the possibility of it being that it might be viewed as racist, it is met with hostility.
That’s why I’m calling you out, because you people are straight hypocrites.
You try come out here and try to fucking pass your message off as being “open-minded” and criticize those who jump to the automatic conclusion of racism being the motivator of this murder. Yet the mere mention of the possibility of racism brought up by anybody and you label them as “playing the race card.”
You preach about waiting til all the facts are out, but in reality this mean:
You are skeptical of other witnesses, but believe the story of the police with no doubt.
You’re not about getting to the bottom of things, you’re about rigging the game to make the Ferguson Police looks as favorable as possible. You’re completely full of shit.
However this plays out, things have been set in motion that will probably end up being important down the line.
This looks like something straight out of a riot in Imperial Rome, but that’s just me.
Not sure what’s going on this video:
Did Brown really pay the store clerk before leaving?
The cop’s story left out the whole part about the threat ceasing before the shooting, which is pretty fucking important, considering that whether or not it was a defensive shooting hinges on that very fact. If I bought the cop’s whole story, I wouldn’t be saying that it sounds like he committed manslaughter at the least. I said “understandable” because IF there was a struggle for the gun there would be a huge amount of adrenaline pumping, and historically people who go for police’s guns end up shot. Shooting a man you catch in bed with your wife is understandable, but still murder; no contradiction there. “Understandable” does not mean “right”.
Am I sure about any of this? No, and I don’t pretend to be- that’s the difference between my speculation and that of those I’ve bemoaned. Yes, I admit I would like to believe that cops aren’t just gunning down black people with no reason, given that the very purpose of their jobs is to protect the public from that sort of thing. Maybe that actually was the case here, but I’ve been made skeptical by people who scream racism at every single opportunity, all the way down to the comments sections on stories about black robbers being shot in the act of holding up people at gunpoint. That corn log floating around about “1 US black man killed extra-judicially every 28 hours by police or vigilantes” is a prime example, as even 10 seconds of consideration should make it plain that being “killed extra-judicially by police or vigilantes” generally means being killed in the act of committing a crime like armed robbery or home invasion (the numbers themselves also sound pretty goddamn dubious, but that’s beside the point), yet it makes the rounds all over the internet as “proof” that America is looking to gun down black men at every opportunity. Like I said earlier, it’s the boy who cried wolf effect: scream it all the time when it’s not true, and people are less likely to believe it when it is true. Apparently you also missed that whole part where I talked about the increasing use of excessive force by police, a regular phenomenon that everyone should be worried about, and one that only makes the headlines when the victim is black.
Any way you slice it, the officer should face a jury. If he’s guilty of manslaughter or murder, he should be punished accordingly, and I personally believe that cops should face much harsher penalties than ordinary citizens due to their roles. If the whole FPD is corrupt, it should be cleaned out. If black America feels that the police are an outside and hostile force, it would be prudent for more law abiding black Americans to join the force and work on straightening it up from the inside. As I said earlier in the thread, I believe cops being recorded at all on duty hours would be hugely beneficial to society.
This is a good question. I used to know someone who had one from the military.
It’s not illegal.
Yea, people use gas masks for stamina training.
(edit: Someone asked to all of us, where did we find this? I went to high school with some of the people who recorded and wrote it)
I forgot to link to an article from the same people who made that video I linked before, this one is from Aug 15th:
And the video if you just want to watch that:

no it isn’t a good question. I have one that is turned into a bong. You can get them at pretty much military surplus store I’ve ever seen. Hell, go ebay gas masks. Hell, I can just steal the one I have at work in case the acid tanks near where I work explode or release acid mists (pretty much the grossest shit I’ve ever had in my mouth, and we all know about the levels of women I’ve gone down on).
Documents regarding the berkley protest were released some years ago stating that the FBI had agents on to stir up violence within the protest. They were successful and a lot of students were shot by the national guard that day. Similarly a lot of the black panther had first hands dealing with COINTELPRO personnel whom were there to try and get the Black Panther party snatched up on horseshit charges.
So…just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen. The US government has done enough legitimate shady conspiracy shit. Some of the stuff that gets picked up by those groups is kinda nuts, but he problem is that since they are the ones looking the hardest, they find legitimate things before anybody else.
he straight up stole those blunts.
What’s your point? What happened there has nothing to do with what happened in the street.
People are saying he deserved to die for robbing some candy? Its scary to think that just because he was black, this punishment for the crime was justified and that he in fact deserved to die.
The robbery provides motive as to why Brown might have resisted arrest.
