If he wants any chance to live a normal life, he's going to have to change his name and move somewhere else.

Cannot understand why such an upstanding officer hasn't been snatched up by another dept.

Godfather.

I think any skin color that- fresh off a store heist and middle of the street cool swagger- defies simple commands, assaults a cop, and tries to grab the cop's weapon might find themselves dead as well.

Show me a white guy in the same situation and I'll show you a dead white guy barring exceptional tolerance on the part of the cop.

It was half in jest, but I think it's been proven on these boards that there are plenty of examples of young white men who have transgressed police just as badly and survived, finding examples of young black men who have transgressed to this level and survived would be pretty difficult.

Godfather.

dig a little deeper, it's 8 out of 10 times that it's the black deaths from cops that get the media attention and they always say " a white police officer shot and killed a black person" or "a black person died while being detained by police"...it's just another sales pitch for the media, who's going to change the channel to see a white cop who killed a white man ? it just don't sell headlines
bottom line a stupid kid who got into more than his share of truble fucked up and paid the ultimate price and as sad as it is that's what happened.

Godfather.

Musky (file this under cool story bro)
A guy I know was messing with this cops girl. Cop put some program on her phone that recorded the texts. Word was it was graphic and obvious things were going down. Cop seemed like cool guy too, he supported the girl and her kid. Anyway, the "boys" were relentless on the guy to the point where he took up a complaint with the state police. Never heard the end result but the lesson was don't mess with a cops girl, don't mess with anyone's girl.

Did everyone forget the young Mr.Brown tried to take an officers weapon? Can we please move on..

Allegedly.

And think we don't just move on. Sweep it under the rug. Know it's convenient but oh well. Blacks get raw deal and yeah this guy was a dick. But doesn't keep this from being a problem.

So the way I think of it is if you substituted black perp with white perp would outcome the same?

I think not.

It is a problem, and there are people who are being treated unfairly by police in this country. But we harm the chances of those people being taken seriously when we trump up an incident where a guy robs a convenience store and goes after a cop's gun. Michael Brown was and is a poor example of the problem.

Yes.

If this case is the one used to illustrate racial bias within police forces... then the case isn't very strong.
