>>>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.

>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...

Hey, Tracy. It's good to see you post. And I really am going to rehab. It may be a few days before they have a bed available but then I will be on the way in. My bag is packed. This is something you advised me to do long ago. Maybe you are the one who started the avalanche, just a few snowballs at the top at first. No addict can promise success but finally I am really addressing it.
