Another black teen killed by Cleveland police as mother asks: 'Why? What happened?'
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/mar/24/cleveland-police-shot-dead-black-teen-mother
When Brandon Jones was home on Cleveland’s East Side with his mother, Tonya Brown, he would check in on her to make sure she had everything she needed. Jones was the middle child of eight kids and worked hard to make sure the people around him were happy and taken care of.
So on those days when Jones was home, the days before a police officer fatally shot him less than a week before his 19th birthday, he would frequently ask if his mother was OK....
On Thursday last week, Jones broke into the nearby Parkway Grocery and stole cigarettes and money, according to the store’s owner. Officers responded to a call of a break-in at approximately 2.15am and struggled with Jones after he left the store carrying a bag. One officer fired, striking Jones, who died at the hospital hours later.
“Everybody knows he shouldn’t have been there,†Brown said. “Everybody knows what he did was wrong – we’re past that. My baby should not be dead.â€
Oh, right, of course. The obligatory picture. As if you didn't already know.

1. Fear Does It
The police are afraid of young black men. They're quicker to shoot at young black men because they believe they are more likely to be killed, compared to dealing with whites, Latinos, Asians, etc. Statistically, there is a small justification for feeling this way, since young black men commit more violent crimes than people in other demographics. But the cops hype themselves up to the point where they have the attitude that every black kid wearing a hoodie is out to kill them. Not just white cops, either. After years of escalating tension between police and black people, things are boiling over in many cities. The cops have a Fort Apache mentality, and the citizens believe every shooting is a racist murder. I'm not sure how long this can continue.

44. The vast majority of shootings ARE racist murders.
Cockroaches hate it when you shine a light on them.
This is why the DUmmies don't like us. We shine a light on them.

4. why the f do some people fight with the police once they are caught - he'd be sitting in jail
right now alive or probably out on bail by now - terribly sad -

12. Yep. So many people take what's a slightly bad situation and make it much worse
I saw it all the time.
Run from what would have been a simple speeding ticket, and maybe simple possession charge if it even got that far and turn it into several felony charges.
Take a simple shoplifting charge and run and assault the officer when she catches you- what would have been a ticket and release becomes a felony.
Turn what would have been a wreckless driving charge and turn it into wreckless driving + felony hit+run.
Too soon to say what happened in this case.
But a good rule of thumb is- if your innocent, or even guilty, you may beat it in court. You will never beat the cops on the street, and fighting or running there will just make you lose in court for sure as more charges get stacked on because you are stupid, it may get you hurt, and it may get you killed.
First rule of thumb is don't do stupid shit. Second rule is if you get caught doing stupid things don't do more stupid things and make it worse. Fight to win it in court. You can't win it on the street.
^Common sense doesn't belong at the DUmp.

56. But it's too easy to say he should have
just given himself up to that cop. The kid was terrified. He knew what was coming and none of it was good. People always talk about how "scared" police are of black men--cops everywhere, they see a black man and just freak out and go on the attack. Well guess what. Black men are just as afraid of cops, and with a lot more reason. It may make no logical sense to resist arrest and yes, this young man should never have committed a crime (tho at this point I don't know if it would be better if he had done it or not). But I can't blame any black man for being so afraid of cops he thinks he he'll have a better chance of surviving if he gets as far away from them as possible.
Thinking like that gives us more dead hood rats.

That is so astoundingly stupid it is hard to even come up with words.
Don`t ****ing commit a robbery jackass and you won`t have a problem.

Neighbor, there's this quality called common sense, that is the least common thing in the world. The DUmmies demonstrate this every day.

::) I don't believe that ONE BIT. Their culture raises them to be hard and disrespectful. He was terrified? Yeh of being put in jail. He thought he would have a better chance of surviving if he got away? Oh PUHLEEZE! he didn't want to be taken to jail. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

No you stop! A cop doesn't know it's just a petty crime until the whole thing is over. It's an ever changing game while that suspect is loose. He could do ANYTHING and most of them do. I just don't get you liberals. :o

tblue seems to ignore that even black people are afraid of black people

Don't rob,

Don't fight the po-lice,
And they won't shoot.

He broke into a store.
He stole merchandize.
He fought police trying to apprehend him.
A police officer shot him.
Connect the dots, racist MORONS!

That's probably why theDUmmies seem to be the only ones that care and the MSM isn't on this 24/7.

They got their hand slammed in the cookie jar over the Ferguson incident.
But they aren't the least bit shy of shoving their gluttonous hands right back in there.

Maybe the MSM are tired of having their race-baiting narratives shoved down their throats and out the --- other end.
Maybe the MSM have seen that the racist-cops-shoot-innocent-black-men narrative hasn't worked and have wandered off to gin up the next fauxny narrative.
Maybe the MSM are letting the dust settle on their self-damaged credibility in preparation for the 2016 Presidential Election.
But learned anything? Nahhhhhhh.

"cops everywhere, they see a black man and just freak out and go on the attack."
So, this DUmmy believes that, because a black criminal who tried robbing a store, attacked a cop, and got shot for it, that automatically means that all cops everywhere are just rabid, sub- human animals whose "Kill" instinct comes on any time they see a black person?
Wouldn't there be literally hundreds of black deaths by police shooting every day if that were the case?
