No grand jury necessary, folks..

Just the basics:

1. If you are male (sometimes female as well), and not white

2. If you are over 4 ft tall (not always)

3. If you have something in your hands

4. If you have a coat on (or have clothing on)

5. If you have hands that MAY "reach for something" (like a drivers' license/ID you are asked to produce)

6. If you dare to question the reason for your stop

7. If you are deemed to have a "bad attitude"

8. If you have on a hoody that may hide ear phones (that may make you unable to hear a direction given you)

9. If you have on a hoody

10. If you are having the worst day of your life and you are upset


......

A scaredy-cat cop "may" be "justified" in shooting you several times

1. If a telephone caller

says you are a guy with a gun,even if you are not,that's reason to be executed.

[MADem]

3. If a 911 operator doesn't pass on the facts that the gun might not be real and the holder of it

might be a juvenile, you might be in danger of forfeiting your life....

Apparently the caller did offer those caveats--I don't understand why the operator didn't pass those kind of KEY FACTS on...

[SoCalDem]

5. Wasn't it dispatch who contacted the cops?

Somewhere along the line that important fact was lost..

[MADem]

6. That is what I got from the presser.

I could be wrong, I was a bit distracted when it came on.

I thought they said that the caller who reported the child with the weapon described his clothing, told the operator that it might be a juvenile, and also that the gun "might not be real."

I thought they also said that this information was not passed on to the police.

8. Isn't Ohio an

open carry state?

Stupid. Just stupid all around.

[MADem]

9. I've no idea--what I don't know about who can carry what, when and how, would

easily fill a book!

[Bettie]

11. According to the NRA's website

and believe me, I was nauseated by going there, Ohio is indeed an open carry state.

Which makes one ask: why did they murder this kid for having a toy gun in an open carry state without any questions? Oh, wait, I know the answer.

I used to believe that there were good cops out there. I believe that a little less every time this happens, so my belief is down to practically nothing.

[MADem]

12. I wish someone would talk about that open carry bit in the news media. nt

[Bettie]

13. But they won't because it

makes the cops look bad. Because they are.

That poor boy. So many young people lost because we have turned police from peace officers to armed thugs who see everyone as the enemy...especially those with dark skin.

[uppityperson]

2. If a cop puts himself in what might be a dangerous situation if you were dangerous, they can kill

you without worrying about whether or not you are dangerous because.

[randys1]

4. If you jaywalk (Brown), if you listen to loud music (Jordan Davis), if you eat Skittles (Trayvon)

If you sell a cigarette for one dollar (Garner)

Now in all of these I think only Davis's killer saw justice and EVEN then the shooter didnt get convicted for killing Jordan.

[Octafish]

7. Cops aren't terrorists.

They just act that way.

[JEB]

10. The cops get to keep their license to kill.

And they will continue to use it. Sickening but true.
