I want to leave america.

its taken some high profile death to bring this to the forefront

...Mike Brown was just an average kid.

we've been hearing about crazy shit for a long time

i never understand when people say this..

yeah we know. so then that means what? that we shouldn't be upset about it? should we just ignore it because it's happened before? we have to have a reason to care?

like WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

Question: whatever happened to shooting someone in the leg and taking them in alive?

They only take white folks in alive. The Boston bombers blew people up and they brought in one of them.

Somehow it seems more honoring of our ancestors legacy. I'm sure sticking around wasn't something they desired.

Why are these cops so fucking scary? This whole shoot to kill ask questions later shit has got to end.

damn.

I mean this is tragic on it's own... HE WAS LEGIT MUGEN!!! WTF?!
I'm really hating I read into the details of this story past the headline yo.

dude was running away while holding a fake sword?

He ran away after they started shooting at him.

I don't wanna get killed wearing my Han Solo costume just to have some asshole in the comment thread say "I guess Han should've shot first."

Jokes aside, I had a hard debate with people over whether or not I should wear it into the city this past Halloween.

.

Kill A Nigga (for no reason) unofficial law that is clearly in place in the USA. Think of it like one of those unwritten baseball rules.

And wearin a chainsaw hand. Scared hair trigger cops don't ask questions.

While running away...

characteristics of a sword by any definition.

we have to stop throwin' this "toy" sh*t around.


No officer or regular citizen is going to risk finding out at the last minute that the sword wasn't razor sharp.

Do stupid sh*t, get killed.
here's a better article of the situation

Believe that cosplay shit if you want to...Looks like a regular muhphucka from the back carrying a sword.

...and some of his family members noted his abnormal behavior...this one just ain't as cut and dry as some make it sound

was going out with a sword and was expected to get shot.

I don't think he specified his desired position or area to be shot.
If the FB account is to be believed or found true, he seemingly got his wish.

but at least they are consistent with the character assassination

I got his entire drug and criminal history

even though all they could come up with was a misdemeanor for a drunken fight

and they found no drugs in his system...why even mention that?

Shady ass shit

Ask Dave Chappelle.

serious cosplayers don't fuck with plastic props.

He should not have lunged with it, however, if that was the case. It wouldn't've cut anyone, but it could have bludgeoned someone.

while in costume?

was it Comic-Con or some type of holiday?

I don't think it's right to kill a guy who is running from you but was this dude in character? Was he touched?

just wondering if he was at a costume party or if he was out fighting demons.

different ppl do different things.

yes, there's people who dress up in costumes of various levels of complexity just for fun on a random Saturday. No, it's not that uncommon.

never seen that shit in all my years on this earth

you're not likely to have.

I've seen it on an infrequent but consistent basis, and know of people who participate in cosplay parties on a regular basis. There are folks who make a living or a hobby out of dressing up as various superheroes and attending comic-cons, sci-fi conventions, and whatnot.

And never mind things LIKE comic-cons and anime conventions, where damn near half of the attendants, if not more, are dressed up in costumes. I once went to get some food and notices Ryu and Chun-Li in line behind me and was like "oh, it must be Anime Con time again". And I was right.

and we go out to bars all the time.

it isn't that common IMO but maybe you live in a convention town where this happens a lot.

I only see people in costume on Halloween or during those comic-con events.

oh, and I saw Gwar walking down the street in Richmond one year while in college.

Where were all these people who he might harm? A white woman walked by him without fear.. why the fuck are cops more terrifiied than citizens?

Only issue I have with the victim is his refusal to drop the sword (if this is the truth).

cops arrive to ZERO panic or commotion, yet go in and blast the guy on sight?

I wouldve seen him as a threat but i wuldnt have shot him...i mean he was at a distance, with his back turned and running....what was he gonna do? Throw the sword perfectly with enough force it was gonna work and kill me? It wasn't a ninja star...and he wasnt a ninja. Again a cop's fear got the best of him. I GET I GET IT they put themselves in danger, as I too would've felt in danger with Mike Brown and even this case. But thats part of the job. Either be able to handle it...or not. We are seeing that a lot of officers cannot handle it. The fear takes over and they shoot. These kids were at a distance where they aren't able to do anything, the reason to shoot is ridiculous.
