Have the police been asked to justify their response to a single bottle being thrown?
Weren't riot shields invented fro a reason?
When objects are thrown, you use them to bounce the objects away. Especially when we're talking about a single object
I understand if 20 bottles are thrown, going in, but why is the line drawn at one?
I cant find it but I know theres a gif of a police officer in Europe using their shield to deflect a bunch of bottles. Guess what, he wasnt hurt, its a fucking shield.

In my post above I talked about a situation where people got unruly. Theres a video of that same event on youtube somewhere showing that an object was thrown at the police but the police didn't show aggressive force.

In Germany, a country of 80 million people, the entire police force fired roughly a total of 30 bullets during 2012 More shots than that were fired during a single traffic stop in Miami that year.
Thats what the smearing was intended to do. Create this as a "blacks angry at whites" showed none of the footage of white people protesting/etc. Nothing but wild negros runninamook...

I'm fine for people having their opinions but all this support makes it seem like the cop shot the Joker or something. Killing an unarmed 18 y/o seems like something many people shouldn't be so fervently rallying behind.

The veil is so thin it's practically not there.
What are these fools even celebrating? People getting murdered on neighborhood streets in broad daylight?
I don't believe anyone has claimed so. It is a just a case of people being more inclined to believe a person who committed robbery also did something aggressive when he was shot, because normal people don't act in such manner. This is definitely the reason why they released the footage, it is an effective way to frame the discussion.
thats what I found so disgusting about the Trayvon stuff. Lots of white people were all mad about black people "making it a race issue" and then others were simply glorifying Zimmerman as if he had rid the world of a nuisance, they didnt view him as a young man, a human being and over what? for what?
A couple of pages back there was some mention of finding the radio call in of "Josie". It's located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzBdY6WXeRE
Can you point me to a source where the shot to the eye was the last shot?
From the press briefing of the family autopsy, they say the last two shots were likely to the head, but they didn't say they could specify the order of those two shots.
EDIT: The questions being answered in the video was "Could they specify the order of the shots ( all 6 ). So the answer you are hearing is discussing the order of all 6 shots.

The murderer fled the scene.
Journalists getting arrested/assaulted.
Tear Gasing children.
Aiming sniper rifles at people protesting during the day.
Beating a man half to death, then turn and charge him for property damage after finding out its the wrong man.
Etc..etc...etc..
I doubt they know any of this. And are just protesting that black people are upset at white people. But thats hardly what the real situation is.

$48.
Still not enough for the shop itself to feel the need to get the cops involved, but again, just trying to be accurate.

It's a guy who was robbing a convenience store with a knife. Who then charged at police. Witnesses appear to corroborate.

Am I missing some context here?
I'd take you're cautious position seriously but you know...
oh, thanks.
Where is a source on this, I keep seeing it being mentioned. I've seen more than one video where he is pacing around the body with other officers around.

Well there are people who considered Zimmerman a hero for killing a kid that didn't even commit a crime, so...

Wonder how many bullets they used for a charging knife-wielding attacker...
It better be double.
has to be more than an unarmed man, right..?

These officers really have never heard of tasers or anything less lethal have they?

I can agree with this.
Damn. But given it's been escalating everyday , it was bound to happen. Surprised it happened during the day tho.
Well, outside of america, like in Gemany.. police are able to deal with violence without shooting things. Not so much in america, especially when you're brown.

It was a knife robbery, unrelated.

If the victim wasn't stealing and roughing up a store clerk before his conflict with the police, that would would carry a bit more weight. You have to have at least a little respect for police, you can't just do whatever you want and treat them like shit. At that age, there has to be at least some basic human understanding of how society works and how you fit into it.

You can make it site specific. I'm disabled on like 4 sites, but active the rest of the time.
Heaven forbid people take a little personal responsibility. Know how the knife wielding guy could've avoided being shot and killed? Putting the knife down. Mind blowing concept.

Do you think they were very aware of putting a black cop behind him for the press conference?

Why in the hell would you risk being severely,injured with a knife engaging in medieval combat with a baton. And god help you if you miss with one of the taser prongs (they are single shot )
Exactly.
Depends whether the cop's record up until that point is perfect or only near-perfect.

Ooh, taking a shot at Ferguson cops with liberal release of information regarding the investigation.

This situation, I'll give the cops the benefit of the doubt. An attacker was rushing them with a deadly weapon
