I agree. This kid's life was snuffed out for supposedly jay walking. Reportedly, he was about to head off to college, so he had every right to feel proud of himself. He was an 18-year-old kid. I feel so sorry for his parents. I hope justice is served.
Michael Brown was not simply jay walking. He was using a thug tactic he learned at his high school.
Michel Brown went to Normandy Schools. I worked on their equipment in those schools during the school day. Most of the kids there are very racist & disrespectful of everyone. When I walked down the halls of Normandy High School when the class bell rang I could not tell much difference when class was in cession or out. Many kids were still throwing the ball around, yelling, playing grab-ass in the hall & class rooms. Only about a quarter of the kids would sit up front in the class & try to listen to the teacher while all the noise & commotion went on around them.
When I would drive to the school the kids made a point of slow walking & playing ball in the middle of the streets to make drivers wait a long, long time to piss them off. They would then kick the vehicle, throw balls, bottles & cans at it as you drove past. I'm sure that's the shit Michel Brown was doing in the street to the cop & that's why the cop yelled at them as he drove past. I'll bet he kicked the car & yelled profanities as the cop drove past, just like he learned to do at school. I'll bet this why the cop attempted to detain Michel Brown. Then Brown assaulted the officer & was subsequently shot.
Notice how Brown's friend Dorian Johnson was from out of town, likely did not learn that stupidity in school & was not touched by the cop. Normandy H.S. was so bad that it lost it's accreditation & just got it back this year. The behavior of these kids at school caused all families with means to move from the district dooming it & the area to poverty. Many term this as "White Flight".
There was an incredible amount of tax money that went into revitalizing the Normandy Schools & the West Florissant Ave shopping district the looters just destroyed. It was very difficult & costly to attract business back to the area. The looters have just doomed the area to poverty & poor education again. The people of Ferguson want the rioting & looting stopped now at all cost, that includes shooting looters.
Brown should not have shot as it has been reported. Peaceful protestors should not be harassed by police. But rioting looters should be arrested or shot.
"Thug tactic"? Did you know Michael Brown personally? He was reportedly about ready to head off to college. You're trying to portray him as a thug - with no proof.
The word thug has become synonymous with being black. The guy was black therefore in his mind that equals thug which usually refers to a criminal... Thats why they are interchanging them. Black = criminal
They are going to do a toxicology report on this kid. I'll bet any amount of money weed is in his system and I'll be any amount of money that will be used as the newest excuse why its ok to shoot an unarmed black person
