>>Well Obama has call the governor of Missouri registering his concern over the shooting of a black teenager. Where was his concern when Stewart killed a 19 year old white kid? Smacks of overt racism ala Jackson/Sharpton.

>He isn't the only one outraged by that. Shooting an unarmed 17 year old? It doesn't help that the police lied about what happened. They said the young man was threatening a police officer and trying to get into the squad car. Three witnesses have now said he wasn't.

>Don't get me wrong. I respect the police unless they give me reason not to. In this case they gave me reason not to.

Mike I wouldn't say the police lied. It's entirely possible that the police story has some truth and the eyewitness accounts as well.

But here's the thing - even if you believe everything the police have said - a murder charge is still a very strong possibility. The Supreme Court ruled a few years about the police using deadly force on someone fleeing, if that person does not pose a deadly danger to others. If the forensics show shots to the back, and/or shots with his arms raised, that police officer is in deep trouble.
