That kid who was shot tried to assault the police and they responded with appropriate force the black panther racist group are stirring up trouble. Edit: I was wrong I just learned that after the cop shot the kid the first time he walked up to the kid lying on the ground bleeding and unloaded the rest of his clip that cop should be felt with appropriately.

If it was a peaceful protest then that is -blam!-ed up. Most dumbasses there have been looting stores and thrashing the city and they deserve to be -blam!-ed up. They are lucky the store owners haven't been blowing them away.

Peaceful protesters....really... Protesters that don't have permission from city to protest & trash local businesses stealing millions in merchandise isn't peaceful protesters their rioters & criminals..

An unarmed black kid gets killed by police for yelling, screaming whatever. And some here think think it was ok to kill him. One douchebag said he would have fired more than twice. Hmm, burn crosses much? So tell me why is it that just about any white person can do so much more to the police and they don't end up dead. I've seen VIDEOS where whites have pulled out guns and fired at police, punched police, tried to take their weapon, yet these people are still alive today? The fact is most white people still look at non whites as a threat to be eliminated. Despite the fact that many whites themselves committed worse crimes and weren't gunned down. Some have posted here claiming to not be racist, but still talk about how someone of another ethnicity needed to be brutally killed by cops, all while being unarmed. Yeah, ok. What do you say about whites in far worse scenarios but aren't killed? And they're armed! I'm guessing it's all good right?

OP, I've been in and around the internet from reddit.com to Halo Waypoint and along the way I've had more then my fair share of experiences concerning stories like this so if you want some truth to this situation, please continue reading. If not, just don't respond. I don't care to converse about this on a video game forum, but I will if you respond. #1. Ferguson county police have reported over 10,000 death threats a day against the officer involved. That, by the very nature of the situation, automatically makes me know these people are nuts, crazy, and need a psychiatric evaluation before I consider anything they continue to say. To have that many national death threats brings many thoughts from outside of the story like, "Do I want my kids around people who say those sorts of things?", "Should I be supporting such a populace who openly proclaim MORE violence rather then morn the loss of this young man?", and many other thought provoking questions. The sane person? Will answer no. You don't support a mobile death platoon made up of possibly armed civilians in a country with out of control gun laws. #2. The official story WILL go to trial. Until such time as Ferguson county police go through that trial, we will not be any the wiser as to the situation. There's a reason humanitarian and moral based arguments (or to phrase it differently, emotionally appealing arguments made out of anger in this case) have no place in a courtroom over the allegations of murder. But in the end? I can tell you that courts take that sort of business a lot higher then you think. Having served on a jury for murder, there is irrefutable evidence which gets presented well over 2 weeks worth of meetings on sometimes as long as 16 hour days to juries and arguments opened up at each interval to explain the possibilities of that evidence to their stance. Very few times will you hear anything less then forensics analysis of the entire crime scene presented in multiple page documents, available for your consumption at any time with notes and ledgers from the day so you can review the arguments as well. I didn't sleep for three days straight because I couldn't based on what I heard and he still was overwhelmingly innocent (the accused for murder) based on a lot of different factors. #3. Shooting tear gas? Into peaceful protesters? Those protesters are the same protesters who backed the decease dad who held a sign that read, "The Police just executed my son" (paraphrased) and when he was interviewed stated, "I find it hard to believe...". REALLY? The same argument I hear from people wishing for a video game to include custom games is now being used to justify murder and incite a riot? Well there goes my faith in humanity or what was left of it... Psychologists have been saying for YEARS how harmful it is to even allow ourselves to think certain ways and being friends with certain kinds of people because it brings out worse things in us even though we enjoy their company like peer pressure, drugs, or otherwise and even when adults, we respect one another, but when you are willing to defend someone you better not cross over the line which separates you from a biased and immoral standpoint because that is when people can be killed. There's a few other points I'd make, but I'll let you digest this and respond accordingly because I know you don't understand all of this. You can't. The signs? When you posted this in the Destiny tab. When you put a title which says we should all be pissed at this. When you make your central post about NON LETHAL tear gas and rubber pullets being shot which won't do anything besides leave a bad bruise on the people. Remember there is always something worse out there and in this day and age, you can't live on those notions... You'll drown in a sea of despair and suddenly realize that it is only a puddle which is meaningless once you walk right through it.

Thanks for posting this it should be address sadly you'll have a bunch of people who will posts all this horrible crap saying the kid deserved to die. Breaks my heart to see what these ignorant people post. A innocent kid was robbed of his life by a cop someone who's supposed to protect us. Lol what a joke. Anyways I'm not gonna reply anymore and I know ill get a bunch of hate replies trying to argue me but your wrong and I wish nothing but horrible things for all the people who really believe this kid deserved to die.

Checked out a few links, looting, a convenience store set on fire... Sounds peaceful to me. Unless you are law enforcement or ever have been, you should probably stop talking. Non-lethal use of force sounds like it was warranted from what I am reading. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/storyline/wp/2014/08/12/why-the-police-shooting-riots-in-ferguson-mo-had-little-to-do-with-ferguson/ http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/08/13/us/ferguson-missouri-town-under-siege-after-police-shooting.html http://abcnews.go.com/US/photos/powerful-scenes-ferguson-missouri-24953212/image-24953493

My beef is not that you posted on #Offtopic (which by the way, should have been the case). BUT THAT YOU POSTED ON A MOTHER-blam!-ING VIDEO GAME FORUM YOU -blam!-ING GODDAMN PIECE OF SHIT! I don't come to Bnet to observe the latest in catastrophic news, I come here after reading the catastrophic news to relieve myself and enjoy some calm moments.

Not my town not my problem

I am peacefully protesting your thread. It should be in #offtopic.

It pisses me off this is in the Destiny Forums and not OffTopic

America sucks. The only I time stuff like this happens in Canada is when Vancouver loses the Stanley cup.

What is this peace rant doing in my destiny forums?

how about you go step in with the front line of them then nobody cares if its a riot or not each state has individual hidden laws that police exploit thats a fact so how about you and your topic just take a break lock out and 3 day ban thats what your asking for with the intentional off topic and disrespect to the community its one thing to reply but its another to instigate off the thread itself its called flamming
