Searching for the Next Michael Brown
American Thinker ^ | 12/18/2014

Posted on 12/18/2014 2:54:49 AM PST by Altura Ct.

Families are lining up to make their son the next Michael Brown. Waiting to tell their story of how racist cops killed their child For No Reason Whatsoever.

The latest example comes from Philadelphia, where, early Monday morning, police shot Brandon Tate-Brown. The details are familiar enough: the 26-year old Tate-Brown was driving at 3 a.m. without headlights when two officers stopped him.

If this stop was anything like most others, then Tate-Brown convinced himself he was being pulled over for one reason only: driving while black.

Soon after he got out of the car, a struggle began. That’s how reporters describe it, so they can leave open the journalistic possibility that instead of Tate-Brown resisting arrest and attacking police, maybe the cops attacked him For No Reason Whatsoever.

Other than that they are degenerate racists, of course.

Whether Tate-Brown attacked the cops or the cops attacked him For No Reason Whatsoever, he was soon back in his car, lunging for a gun.

There they killed him.

The gun was stolen. The dead man was a hardcore convict with a history of shooting people and doing time in prison. Being in possession of that gun – stolen or not – would have been ticket back to the penitentiary.

That did not matter much to the outlaw’s family.

“From my eyes, he was a good guy,” Tate-Brown’s mother told the local NBC affiliate. “I would like to know why the police have the right to kill instead of disabling. It has to stop.”

...The next night, Tate-Brown’s mother was in the street and, with the assistance of Al Sharpton’s NA Network, was telling a crowd that her son would never do anything like starting a fight with a cop.

No one seemed to care that she was not telling the truth.

“I would like to know why the police have the right to kill instead of disabling. It has to stop.”

They coulda just shot the gun outta his hand without even injuring his hand.

I see it all the time in the movies.

If cops can't even shoot as well as actors, they maybe shouldn't be cops.

We sure have come a long way since 2008. Never has so much damage been done to this country from within.

““I would like to know why the police have the right to kill instead of disabling. It has to stop.””

When I heard Dr. Ben Carson suggest this he lost me as an admirer. He distinctly showed his naivety, for sure. A good man but sadly, not ready for prime time....

Had Tate-Brown gotten to his gun first would he have shot to disable?

It is amazing how the same story is told over and over.

"He was a good boy."
"Everybody loved him."
"He was an aspiring rapper."
"He had some problems, but he was turning his life around."

There is the inevitable wailing family, stunned that their perfect baby should be shot by a cop, completely ignoring that their "baby" is well past being a child. Some of these guys are legally adults, and have adult criminal records, and violent pasts.

The disconnect with reality is breathtaking. If your progeny turns feral, a bad end is predictable.

This morning, here in Indy, there is a story on the local news about some cop selling T shirts that say something like “Breathe easy, don’t break the law”.

A firestorm started and the cop was told to quit selling those shirts because they are “divisive”.

Huh, “Hands up don’t shoot”, is not divisive, I guess.

No such thing as free speech in the US anymore.
Freedom is over and the next two years will prove that.

The ingredients for the Next Michael Brown:

1. Thug with attitude.
2. White cop(s).
3. Attack on cop by thug.
4. *POW!*.. dead thug.
5. “Witnesses” claiming thug was on his knees with his hands up, tearfully begging for mercy while “raciss cracka POlees shoots him in da haid.”
6. Other, legitimate witnesses coming forward to put the lie to the “racist cop” story and relate how thug went for the cop’s gun.
7. The wild-eyed Justus Brothers, Al and Jess, run for the nearest microphone to claim widespread racism in the (fill in the blank PD).
8. The left-overs from “occupy,” funded by a still-unknown source, stream in to loot, burn and ignite riots.

"He had some problems, but he was turning his life around."

It could be true, I (unfortunately) know people who matched that description for decades.

It's a widespread lament.

I agree. It really is a shame because on most other issues he is right on top of things.

He had just gotten a job and was getting his life together, they said.

Yes. In fact, the very next day he was going to stop illegally carrying a gun, staying out all night dealing drugs and provoking then attacking cops. The VERY NEXT day!

Those racist cops never even gave him a chance...

They’re all Michael Brown now anyway.

The black thug culture is like the arabs - they train their children young on who to hate. Reminds me of the Sesame Street-like cartoons telling the little palestinians to hate the Jews.
