This is where you are wrong. That video shows what kind of aggressive person he was. His attitude was that of a thug. So why would it be so hard to believe that he attacked the cop in the first place?? You attack a cop, your gonna get shot.
That video doesn't show him attacking a cop. It depicts an irrelevant altercation with a convenience store clerk;
an altercation the clerk didn't think serious enough to warrant even bothering to contact police about.
I didn't say it was hard to believe that he attacked a cop, but since you ask the question: yes, it's hard to believe
...possibly because everyone knows cops carry guns, and can shoot & kill your ass!
So what you're saying catracho is: The police haven't justified killing Michael Brown. They've simply killed a boy, neglected to report the shooting, lied to central dispatch stating everything was fine, lied about the cop's injuries, refused to address pertinent questions regarding the killing, made racist attacks on the deceased's character via social media, released unrelated & irrelevant video tape designed to further assassinate his character leaving you to pick up where their narrative leaves off, filling in whatever scary blanks of speculative conjecture they can trigger in your thus far well-massaged little brain, leaving YOU to justify their slaughter of a child, all the while refusing to justify their own use of lethal force, or even disclose the identity of the cop who pulled the trigger? To top it all off, they violate the rights of the entire community to assemble, attacking them with German Shepherds, tear gas, bullets and armored trucks, threatening to kill them AND the journalists just trying to do their jobs, ...and that's OK with you? ...because the deceased was a big scary aggressive black guy? Seriously?!?!
With all the Ronny Coleman adoration I see in this place, I would think y'all would be in tears. Maybe he should have been walking down the street oiled up and in a thong. Maybe then he might get a few people here demanding honest answers of the police.
ps: If any of you gym rats with muscles on your muscles, don't think this can happen to you... think again.
Your next encounter with some pencil-dick with a badge, ...could be your last.
