1. Those here who called this a "good shoot"

Can fuck themselves.

[PDJane]

2. Does the fact that he was a rookie exonerate him for shooting a child?

[Ykcutnek]

3. Nah, being in a uniform is good enough for the "justice" system to do that. nt

[PDJane]

4. Yeah, that was my point. The Brown grand jury was a charade.

5. It's setting up the excuse of it being just a mistake.

See, he was a rookie, so he wasn't all experienced and just made a mistake. We don't need to change anything, just a newbie screwing up. Pay no attention to the tragedy.

Oh, and don't ask about inadequate training of new officers.

[Beaverhausen]

8. MSNBC has the video

[UglyGreed]

10. SMH!!!

what the hell is going on!!! Where do they find these guys????

[UncleYoder]

13. Watch the shooter afterwards.

Around here, we call that buck fever.

[Beaverhausen]

16. Can you explain?

18. The driver kicks the body of the boy with his foot, counting coup if you will...

it's a common thing for hunters to do when they aren't sure an animal is dead and don't want to get kicked or mauled

14. so this imbecile killed a 12 year old. what a disgusting coward.

15. FUCKIN WOW!!! It looks like the second the car stopped is the second the kid went down dead

[seabeyond]

19. the problems i see, is the dumb ass experience cop drove the passenger right up to a person, they

thought had a gun, leaving him a sittin duck, if it was a real gun.

to drive the rookie right next to the kid, was fuggin beyond dumb

[PDJane]

20. And, you will note, there was no time for the police to have said anything to the child

or for the child to have responded. It was an assassination of a child. A black child. And it is sickening. The "rookie" and his partner should be disciplined. We'll see if that's what happens.

I am not sanguine.
