President and First Lady send condolences to family of Missouri teen Michael Brown

[RoshawnMarkwees]

In an interview on Tuesday with MSNBC, Dorian Johnson, a friend of Mr. Brown’s, gave the following description of the shooting: He said that he and Mr. Brown had been walking in the street when an officer drove up and told them to get onto the sidewalk. The two stayed in the street after telling the officer that they were close to Mr. Johnson’s house. The officer, who had passed them, then backed up, almost hitting them in doing so. He then tried to open his door, which hit Mr. Brown, and when the door bounced shut, the officer reach out and grabbed Mr. Brown.

“Mike was trying to get away from being choked,” Mr. Johnson told MSNBC. At that point, he said, the officer pulled a gun and fired, striking Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown “did not reach for the officer’s weapon at all,” he said.

Mr. Johnson said that he and Mr. Brown began to run, and while he ducked behind a car, Mr. Brown kept going. After Mr. Brown was shot a second time, Mr. Johnson said, he turned to face the officer with his hands up, the officer fired several more shots and Mr. Brown fell.

This certainly doesn't sound good for the police officer. His life is toast.

Right. The FBI is conducting the only investigation.
Heads will roll. As they should.
The POTUS has NO business sticking his nose into this.

President Obama and the First Lady have every right to send their condolences to the Brown family. I applaud their concern. This appears to be a civil rights violation. Maybe even a hate crime.

You'd better contact the authorities since you have all of the facts of the case already.

It took a few years after the police execution of Otto Zehm for a real attorney general to be appointed and prosecute the matter. Fortunately we still have that attorney general.

"Fortunately we still have the Attorney General". The same attorney general who authorized the shipment of 3,000 illegal weapons to drug cartels in Mexico? I feel so much better.

I said "appears" and "maybe" dimwit.

Too bad the oBUMa never offered condolences to the families of any of the police officers or border patrol agents killed by his fellow bums.

How do you know he didn't?

 

[thereisnospoon]

If the police officer shot this kid and his story is wrong = I hope he goes down.

I am hearing another story that the young men went for the gun.

A witness says that is not true. Let the FBI sort it out.

"A witness"....
And of course those looted and burned out stores and other businesses..That's justified, correct?
Even the black owned businesses?
BTW, some of the people of Ferguson were saying most of the rioting and looting was done by outsiders

 

[Wildman]

Why won't they do this for the other 4,000/year slaughtered on our streets by the hands of their brothers??? Oh'yess,,it wouldn't cause enough hatred against whites. They don't care about how many blacks die.

This is all about hatred of white people.

I am NOT SAYING for a second that this police officer shouldn't go to prison if he is shown to be guilty. BUT make no mistake this is about hatred and not the hatred you think it is.

Your hatred seem very selective. This story is about a black teenager shot by a cop (probably white) for doing nothing wrong according to a witness.

It's about being subjective and not jumping to one side before the facts come in. The media is blowing the flames of violence in this country. Again, if the cop is fund guilty I hope he hangs.

i would be willing to bet ole Lakabrain, will NEVER say that if a black cop shoots a white kid.., it does happen, the lame stream media will never say a word about it though.

No, it appears you did not, "dimwit:"

The kid was unarmed and minding his own business. The cop instigated needless violence. At face value - it looks like 1st degree murder.

Hey, when you're enraged, a little looting and burning feels good. That's better than shooting whitey, I guess.

Contradictory...
Earlier you wrote "Let the FBI sort it out"..
Obviously that comment was not sincere.

 

[Wildman]

Well, I'm sure we can all agree that it's nice for the President and First Lady to send their condolences to the family.

i never will until they do something about that Marine in that fucking Messycan hell hole, and the thousands of other killed by *******.., i am sure you will agree to this........, RIGHT ?

They have a right to be dumb as a rock too but that doesn't mean its a good idea.

Well, dumbass, who the hell you think will sort it out: Me or the FBI? My money's on the FBI.

looks like a justified shooting, the ****** made the first aggressive move, all the fucking banger had to do was obey a lawful order and not confront the cop, had he done so he could still be alive to continue his illegal activities until he confronted another cop who also would filled his worthless fucking carcass full of lead.., dieing by lead poisoning seems quite common in da hood. ....

ooooh......

Obama and his totally fucked up priorities

Ferguson Missouri has mostly a black population 65%, in fact. What are you going to do if the police officer turns out to be a black man? I'm sure you'll be depressed.

In other words - you hate *******. Thanks for sharing.

President Obama said today that the police shooting death of unarmed Missouri teen Michael Brown was "heartbreaking," and he urged those who are upset over the incident to remain calm.

Brown, an 18-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and killed Saturday by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer. The days since the shooting have been marked by tense standoffs between Brown's supporters and heavily-armed police officers, along with riots and looting of stores on Sunday night.

"The death of Michael Brown is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and his community at this very difficult time," Obama said.

"I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions, but as details unfold, I urge everyone in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the country, to remember this young man through reflection and understanding," the President said in a statement. "We should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. Along with our prayers, that’s what Michael and his family, and our broader American community, deserve."

Obama emphasized that Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice will be investigating the shooting as well as local police in St. Louis County, Missouri.

This is really sad, especially since the young teen was reportedly unarmed. I hope justice will be served. It brings back memories of Trayvon Martin.

Another gaffe and another breach of presidential protocol.
Why this guy has to have something to say about everything is a mystery.

NOT everything, just when a black criminal gets his dues paid in full.
