Brian Moore is dead.
He was shot in the face two days ago. Moore was 25 at the time of his death. Since joining the NYPD five years ago he made 150 arrests and was awarded two exceptional police service medals and two meritorious police service medals.
Here is the ABC News account of the story. Go read it. I'll wait.
Notice anything missing?
Here are the accounts of the Michael Brown shooting.
CNN:
Monday was supposed to be Michael Brown's first day at technical college. Instead, his parents were planning his funeral.CBS:The 18-year-old was shot by a police officer in a St. Louis suburb on Saturday, sparking a federal civil rights inquiry, local protests and national debate.
One side says the African-American teenager was surrendering, his hands in the air to show he was unarmed, when the officer opened fire. Authorities counter that Brown had attacked the officer in his car and tried to take his gun.
Unarmed black Mo. teen shot after altercation, police sayNBC:

THIS'LL make waves.
As I recall, it was worse than that. Most reports I remember emphasized white cop, as well as black teenager.
The biggest problem facing the enemedia is that even their side no longer believes them; they like the messages they push, but know they’re BS. A couple of years after Obama’s election, liberal talking heads acknowledged nobody was listening to his speeches anymore; he could talk about how he fixed the economy, saved the environment, blah blah blah, but even the low-information voters knew it wasn’t true.
Im waiting for all the white folks to gather together and riot, burn and destroy police cars, loot the stores in their nieghborhood set them on fire, attack blacks in the streets........IM WAITING! THE SCUMBAG MEDIA sets the fires they are the pupptes controlled by the SCUMBAGS AT THE DOJ na the head scumbag
Condolences to Brian Moore’s family and friends. Great post. Thanks. HOORAY Dr. John!
This wording chaps my azz. They were killed by humans USING a gun. Azzoles. d:^)
When it is a political crime the party of the perp is also left out by the lame stream media (or buried deep in the report), except in the rare case that the perp is a Republican, and then the party affiliation is in the first paragraph or so if not in the headline.
