The only problem I have with the mess in Missouri is they picked the

The
problem is they are both in New York, a bluer than blue city in a
blue
state.

Also the densest population area in the country. Two incidents like
this could happen in the middle of different states if you spread NY
out.

The issue is supposed to be an egregious abuse of police power. Is
that excused if it is the big city?

What's your comment about blue city suppose to indicate? You think
cops in NY are more likely to be R's or Ds? R's constitute 33% of the
population in NYC.

I only question why they single out this incident and ignore far worse
ones. Were the looking for a red state to drive this issue?

This really looks like it might turn out to be a good shoot just a bad
shot. Six rounds only inflicted 2 serious wounds and 3 went on into
the environment somewhere. Good thing this was a less populated area
or we would have had bystanders hit.

I suppose he might have been hurt in the "scuffle" in the car enough
to affect his aim but that helps the officer.

Crock o' Poop. The cop was 20-25 feet away when he shot 3 or 4
additional rounds after the kid was hit.

The last shot entered the top of his skull, meaning that he was
bending forward and going down. No cop could argue that he felt his
life was being threatened.

The cop will be guilty of murder, which variety is yet to be known.

I suppose it all depends on the first autopsy. If there was GSR in his
hair, this may be a good shoot.

I bet those last flurry of shots took less than 2 seconds with very
little thinking between the first and last shot

There's something screwy about this whole incident but few facts are
known ... or have been released to the public.

A "gentle giant" typically doesn't rob from stores, shove a proprietor
half his size into display shelving and then, as he is leaving, turns to
approach the proprietor again in a menacing manner.

There have been some reports about finding pot in his systems. I don't
know if those reports have been confirmed. But if this "gentle giant"
was stealing a box of cigars to fill with PCP laced pot, it could
explain a bunch of things. From what I've read that combination of
drugs can result in a sense of invulnerability and power.

Given the emotion charged atmosphere surrounding this event, I have a
hunch we will never know the truth. It's going to get politically
controlled. The cop *has* to be charged or there will be riots that
will make the protests to date look like a community picnic.

Let them riot, bring in force till they stop rioting and/or the locals
get tired of the outsiders who are inciting, it will end and we go in
and rebuild.. Sharpton gets richer... everyone has a new cause. The cops
life and freedom are more important than those who would loot stores
anyway...
