There are plenty of FReepers still deffending this Thug! Unbelievable as it would seem.

Give them time. Not everyone sees the same info, at the same time. Some get limited time to spend on the internet, or water cooler, or TV... whatever their source is. Different sources give out different information, as well.

It is no wonder posters seem to disagree on the 'facts' so often.

Remember, it is often those who know the least who are so stubborn on insisting they know it all. Time is about the only thing that can fix that.

Also we need to take into account that since the appearance of the robbery incident in the media, the media has decided to back off on the story. So... there are some who will no longer even be given the info on the news.

Gotta keep the populace ignorant so they are easier to direct when needed.

...turning his life around, heading to [an unnamed] college...

It was Vatterot College in St. Louis.

Well... even if Mr. Brown had not gotten shot by police, he wasn't going to attend Vatterot College from a jail cell. And that is exactly where he was headed when he left QT.

Apparently he changed his mind on attending college.

“I would sure like to get a toxicology report on this. Any sane man regardless of his size and height does not try to take away a cop’s gun.”

Lord. You really think that? It’s truly amazing what a disconnect some people have with reality. At most the boy had a little bud or some sizzup floating around in his brain, nothing to significantly alter his or impair his judgement. Work a little bit in EMS, fire, police, or spend some time working in the ED... you’ll find out how people outside white picket fences live.

You may get up each morning and go to work, pay your taxes every year like a good citizen, and mow your lawn on the weekends. You though, are abnormal. Most of the world doesn’t live like you, doesn’t think like you, and doesn’t act like you. You live in a nice, safe, law-abiding bubble surrounded by other meek, domesticated human beings just like you.

You probably don’t have many friends and family members that make a living selling drugs and milking benefits programs, you probably don’t have many friends and family members in prison right now, you probably don’t know more than a handful of people that have been murdered (or murdered someone), you probably never beat someone just because you could, hell you probably don’t even know where the nearest strip club is.

You sir (or madam), simply cannot relate.

Never heard of Vatterot but Googled it. None in New England.

He shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, and he started to get down,' Johnson said.

What I don't get is why someone who had just been shot would raise their hands in the air and start dancing.

The original name was Urban Technical Centers, Inc. (Wiki).

Wonder what he was going for? Criminal Justice? Culinary Arts? Medical? Cosmetology? Building Trades? Music recording and production?

Even if that is him, irrelevant to the shooting. It won’t even come into court because the cop would have to show he knew he was a suspect and that had some affect on any reasonable fear he might have had.

As Ive said a couple times here, it could have been Charles Manson and it would not matter. No one, certainly not the police, has any legal justification for shooting someone with their hands raised and no belief they are armed and able to use a weapon. Nothing the police have said have cast any doubt on those facts.

The character of the deceased is irrelevant in this case.

Absent some facts we haven’t seen, the Officer murdered him. Period.

You never know. You'd be surprised at how many four year schools offer degree programs to inmates, including lifers.

Vatterot claims to be on-line as well. Might put a kink fulfilling the hands-on intern/externship many of the AOS degrees require, though.

Princeton

Could be, whatshisname, African-American studies prof Cornel West ended up there when Larry Summers, of all people, told West to give up the rap career and start teaching again, like Harvard was paying him to do.

OTOH, Mr. Brown acted like he could fit quite easily into the New Haven urban life scene.

” Larry Summers, of all people,”


Poor Larry and his remarks about women that caused such a firestorm.

I’m a woman and happen to agree with him.

Trayvon’s parents are celebrating that their Sonny Boy gets to keep his wings and halo instead of ceding the spotlight to the Browns!

What about the bystander video discussed on an earlier FR thread (first link in post #9)?

“the Officer murdered him. Period.”

You (and most people) have no idea what happened (yet). Best to not post opinions (when any story breaks in this day and age)based on sketchy, emotional charged, half baked, still changing information floating around.

No one, certainly not the police, has any legal justification for shooting someone with their hands raised and no belief they are armed and able to use a weapon. Nothing the police have said have cast any doubt on those facts.

Nor have there been any facts to support the preposterous notion that the Gentle Giant had his hands raised (or was kneeling begging for mercy, or that he was running away). So your later statement "Absent some facts we haven’t seen, the Officer murdered him. Period." is quite revealing, not about the officer or Gentle Giant, but you. You require exculpatory evidence to not believe the narrative that the officer is a cold blooded executioner, yet you require no evidence to believe that he is such a monster. That reveals quite a bit about your character, and that revelation is not particularly favorable.

I tell you what a 390# 6’4” man beats the hell out of me tries to take my gun. I shoot him and he just raises his hands and starts dancing back toward me? I going to pour everything I have into him and pray it’s going to be enough.
