Twitter going nuts ..lots of live streams. .ugly there tonight
#Hands UP!

Gentlemen. They keep using this word. I do not think it means what they think it means.
Some one needs to explain the facts: don’t pull weapons on cops, don’t slam car doors on cops, don’t loot. If you do you will suffer consequences, not because of your skin color, but because you’re a violent criminal.
Do we know the race of the officer and the race of the “gentlemen”? I have a feeling that those facts will determine how the media and liberals and race baiters will deal with this case.
the “gentle giant”
LOL
“Gentlemen. They keep using this word. I do not think it means what they think it means.”
We’re NOT talking about Fred Astaire and Gregory Peck here! ;)
The only thing that matters is if the cop is black or white.. White Hispanic is white by default in these kind of situations.
#Pants UP!

Commies are trying to keep the pot stirred constantly in MO...Red bums would just LOVE a riot before an election! /s

Since Jesse is in Dallas, that leaves Al to cover Michael Brown part deux.
Twitter summary:
Unarmed young black man, holding a sandwich, was shot 16 times by police officer; shooting continued even when the man was down. No ambulance was called.
And whether the Twitter reports are correct or not, they are what will pass for the “truth” about this incident
(any actual facts will be considered irrelevant if they contradict the above)
That’s what’s so disturbing about watching this unfold on twitter. ..the facts aren’t known yet but we have a story and that’s what they’ll use no matter what. .
“the young man pulled a weapon and shots were fired”
Mistakes were made .... but the cops are raciss.
At least this kid’s first name won’t be “Unarmed”.
