[quote="fstarcstar"][quote="Saz"][b]This has nothing to do with his innocence! This has everything to do with the fact multiple witnesses said he was gunned down after he stopped fleeing, and had his hands in the air. Whatever happened before that, there is NO reason to execute someone in that position. [/b][/quote]
Saz, they have taken witness testimonies and police testimonies. When you read the witness testimony of the friend who claimed to join him as he was walking down the street right at the time of the shooting, was actually with him when he robbed the gas station. (you know this during law school) You can only take all witness testimonies with a grain of salt considering there is a % of witness testimonies that end up being complete crap.
All of this emotional dribble is fueling this fire, innocence, his hands were up, he just graduated, you took my baby from me, etc. Anybody, cops or witnesses can be full of shit.
[quote]This blew up because despite witness statements, the police did NOTHING to indicate they were investigating the incident. The body was left out for hours. The cops name was never realized. Witnesses were never talked to. Nothing was going to get done and as much as people want to say rioting is never justified, I guarantee we wouldn't be at this point in the justice process if they hadn't burned and looted a quiktrip and received national attention.[/quote]
How different is this scenario from other murders? Bodies are generally left out until investigators check them for evidence assuming they are pronounced dead. They were taking witness testimonies and meeting with people, but once there were riots I wouldn't release the cops name either. We saw this with Zimmerman, the man lives in fear and nobody knows where he is now because of it.
[quote]It's sad because people like you will insist violence is never the answer, when reality tells us precisely the opposite. The problems and issues facing low income and black communities, abusive police being a huge one, are ignored unless they take to the streets and start destroying things for attention.[/quote]
I do believe in violence, been a good tradition for thousands of years now.[/quote]
I can't respond to multiple points because I can't quote because Uber has me on censor. Surprise.
