>>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.

I'm not sure yet. All the facts are not out This could be racism, bad judgement, or justified. We really don't know. There is some more information on the story now though which I think at least gives a slightly different picture of the 17 year old, but not the officer yet:

Regardless if that is the individual in the photo or not, he could still be a victim of unjustified shooting or racism. The timeline and actual situation will determine that more - was there actually a struggle for the officer's gun? Why do three witnesses give such a different story than the police report and information released today? A lot to clear up...
