Eyewitness, Piaget Crenshaw, 19, was waiting for a ride to work when she said she saw the police officer attempting to place Brown in the rear seat of a squad car.
She then observed the teen, hands in the air, attempt to flee. Several shots were fired at Brown as he ran, Crenshaw said, striking him in the head and chest. Crenshaw said police asked and she complied with a request that she turn photos of the scene over to authorities. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/fatal-shooting-by-ferguson-police-draws-angry-crowd/article_04e3885b-4131-5e49-b784-33cd3acbe7f1.html?1 Why wouldn't the shootee have been wearing handcuffs when the cop tried to put him in the car? juvenal maybe? usually lots of feel good regulations when dealing with them. |

George Z told me that you can shoot unarmed attackers. Yeah... but there are others covering this KMOV Witnesses to the shooting say the victim, identified by witnesses at Michael Brown, was walking in the middle of a street with a friend, Dorin Johnson, when a Ferguson officer drove up and ordered them to the sidewalk. Johnson said they told him they were a minute away from their destination and then they would be out of the street. After a verbal confrontation, witness Piaget Crenshaw said the officer got out of his car and fired a shot. Both teens ran, she said, and another shot was fired. Johnson hid behind a car, but said his friend stopped after a second shot was fired at him. Crenshaw and Johnson say the teen held up his hands to show he did not have a weapon, however the officer fired at him two more times and he collapsed and died in the street. |

You know, that just wouldn't be as funny if there was anybody else in that candle with a "black" saying underneath. Dammit if I didn't laugh, though. |

As a former city cop, pretty much ever shooting of a black suspect by a white officer was considered a "bad shoot" in that area by the locals. "Eyewitnesses" would always pop up on the TV claiming the white officers walked up on an unarmed suspect and shot him in the back of the head, or other such fantasy stories, even when the suspect was shooting at the police. If the cop doing the shooting is black, usually it's a "good shoot". Of course the local media would do their best to fan the racial flames instead of presenting any sort of facts.
North St. Louis is kind of like GD in many ways. |

Thanks for making me relive a cases from CJ classes but here's the finding: Held: The Tennessee statute is unconstitutional insofar as it authorizes the use of deadly force against, as in this case, an apparently unarmed, nondangerous fleeing suspect; such force may not be used unless necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others. Pp. 497 U. S. 7-22. c) While burglary is a serious crime, the officer in this case could not reasonably have believed that the suspect -- young, slight, and unarmed -- posed any threat. Nor does the fact that an unarmed suspect has broken into a dwelling at night automatically mean he is dangerous. Pp. 471 U. S. 20-22. I'm no lawyer but that reads like it was ruled unconstitutional and not legal... would be glad to have one of our resident lawyers correct me though. |

I read an interesting analysis a while back comparing shit cities. St Louis was rated worst, beating out Detroit.
I was surprised, I never thought of STL as such a ghetto. |

I was in Kirkwood during the City Hall massacre and the Police Sgt. William McEntee murder. The city looked like Grand Theft Auto: The movie. I also ate at the Imos Pizza that the pedo/kidnapper Michael Devlin managed at least a dozen times. If I ever manage to ditch the night-job, I'm staying the F out of anything in St Louis county or city. I'll mind my own business in JeffCo with all the atanists, meth-cookers and tweakers. View Quote I was also in Kirkwood at the time of McEntee's murder. I was at a friend's house not far from Meacham. You could see the video from helicopters overhead on the news, it was a little surreal to realize those are the low flying helicopters outside right now I also remember the city hall massacre. I've never seen so many cop cars. Some from as far out as Eureka responded to that. Hundreds, at least. I also know the people who live in Devlin's old apt. I only went in once. Had to see. Was extremely creeped out, didnt go back. The couple that live there are really nice, but not from the area. |

(a) Apprehension by the use of deadly force is a seizure subject to the Fourth Amendment's reasonableness requirement. To determine whether such a seizure is reasonable, the extent of the intrusion on the suspect's rights under that Amendment must be balanced against the governmental interests in effective law enforcement. This balancing process demonstrates that, notwithstanding probable cause to seize a suspect, an officer may not always do so by killing him. The use of deadly force to prevent the escape of all felony suspects, whatever the circumstances, is constitutionally unreasonable. (b) The Fourth Amendment, for purposes of this case, should not be construed in light of the common law rule allowing the use of whatever force is necessary to effect the arrest of a fleeing felon. Changes in the legal and technological context mean that that rule is distorted almost beyond recognition when literally applied. Whereas felonies were formerly capital crimes, few are now, or can be, and many crimes classified as misdemeanors, or nonexistent, at common law are now felonies. Also, the common law rule developed at a time when weapons were rudimentary. And, in light of the varied rules adopted in the States indicating a long-term movement away from the common law rule, particularly in the police departments themselves, that rule is a dubious indicium of the constitutionality of the Tennessee statute. There is no indication that holding a police practice such as that authorized by the statute unreasonable will severely hamper effective law enforcement. (c) While burglary is a serious crime, the officer in this case could not reasonably have believed that the suspect -- young, slight, and unarmed -- posed any threat. Nor does the fact that an unarmed suspect has broken into a dwelling at night automatically mean he is dangerous. 710 F.2d 240, affirmed and remanded. |

View Quote No not missing that at all but the key part is that there has to be a "significant threat of death to the officer or others". Even in Garner, the court ruled that the officer did not have that justification unless I'm reading it wrong, it is early and I haven't had coffee after all. You can perceive a threat all day long but if it doesn't actually exist, you're screwed. |
