Man points gun at cop's head, gets shot. Missouri

Is this essay or multiple choice? I'll do short answer.

I hate freedom because I do not support a man's right under the Tenth Amendment (the magic Amendment) to point a gun at a cop, or anyone else, without cause.

No, the part of not listening to rap and choosing to drop out of school

These stories are getting as old as the protestors themselves. When a legit case of a racist person shooting another person of the opposite color happens the average American will blow it off as this has been played out for far too long now and people are getting sick of it. I hope Mall of America gets their money since the protestors were on private property. Maybe that will help spell an end to these ignorant people basing things off solely physical characteristics of that person instead of the content of their character or scientific evidence.

["She spoke as the body still lay covered on the ground outside the Mobil gas station. "They got my baby laying out there. He's been out there for about two hours," she said."]

Yes, that is called a homicide investigation.

Ma'am, if you want to avoid your children from ending up on the concrete with multiple holes from a pistol, teach them to be better citizens instead of thugs.

Thugs get a thug's death. Turn off the rap music, wear clothing that does not mark you as a thug, stay in school and above all choose to live a better life

How about: "Ma'am, that's called CRIME SCENE MANAGEMENT, and it's to prevent you, your lawyer, and Al Sharpton from claiming the police "tampered with the scene" and "removed evidence" that would have helped you make a case your "baby" was wrongfully shot.

Sure would be nice if the cop was wearing a GO-Pro quality body HD camera. It would be plain as day that this SOB pointed the gun at the cop.

The quality in this video matches the quality of the usual in car dash camera video - 1981 Betamax tape.

That is how to succeed in life.

Even if you do listen to rap music and drop out of school, don't points guns at people.

How about you explain that rap part? Is there some hidden message that hypnotizes people into committing acts of violence?

Actually, the messages are pretty overt.

serial number was filed off. If only gun shops were blocked from filing off serial numbers before they sold them! Legislate, stat!

The baseless protesting is absurd. What would the mother of this criminal expect a cop to do when he puts a gun in the cop's face? Or anyone for that matter. This is just beyond ridiculous.

Who is funding these protests and what is the end game?

It is of course, possible.

Clearly if he had just stayed in his car this would have never happened...

Headlines these days remind me of 1968, it's just missing Vietnam.

How true, I was in and around Chicago for the race riots in the 60's. I am glad I am not in St Louis for this round. I think we are further behind now than we were then, and we definately do not have the caliber of leadership that can resolve these failures.

My opinion is that the current leadership is actually fanning the flames.

They're no longer protesters, they are just part of the thug culture that hates cops. The crappy thing is Al and Barry will be making speeches about how good little johny was, and the media probably showing him when he was 10 yrs. old, the mother crying he was just trying to turn the gun in that he found on the curb with his hands raised.

And he couldn't breath...I am sure he meant to grab his inhaler not his gat...

How much violence and crime have you committed?

Well of course, but apparently he was too busy racial profiling......

It is also possible that country music sends out hidden messages to join the Klan.

From what I saw on TV, the cop was wearing a body-cam but did not have it turned on. Fortunately there was a surveillance camera that caught everything. No doubt the kid who was "just trying to get his life back together" (mother to interviewer) was pointing a pistol at the police officer.

If you're calling the media our "leadership," I'd agree.
