i agree with all of this and see it every time i venture into similar threads. (damn shame this happens so often) i'm sure a small number of the people responding to them don't know how to block members, or they just enjoy the thrill of interweb jousting. do the thread a favor. click the up ended red triangle next to these dudes sign-in under their avy, and then come down to block member. click it, then agree you want that member blocked.
every time you block a troll, an angel gets it's wings.

Block Members? LOL Let them have their fill. It's better to talk, argue, then to put up walls amongst each other.

Because some people are gullible, and it makes a story worth selling, especially given the history of America. If people are able to look at the 'crime' itself, as opposed to putting racial undertones to the situation, then it wouldn't be like this.

Oh look...another "witness" who lied to get attention and flame racial tensions...
[h1]Teen lied on Twitter, pretended he witnessed shooting of Missouri 18-year-old Antonio Martin[/h1][h2]A supposed 18-year-old fooled reporters into believing he was best friends with Martin and saw him die at the Mobil Gas Station in Berkeley, Mo., on Tuesday night. 'I can’t believe my best friend just died in front of me,' the user known as @DesJuanTheThug wrote.[/h2]

An online troll lied about watching his best friend die at the hands of a Berkeley, Mo., cop. just to boost his clout.
Twitter user @DesJuanTheThug tricked his way into news reports by the Huffington Post after claiming he witnessed the shooting of Antonio Martin late Tuesday night at a gas station.
The stunt garnered the attention of upset Internet users fooled by his deceit and even the shady group known as “Anonymous,” which teamed up to out the Twitter user’s identity and address.
Just minutes after 18-year-old Martin had been shot, the anonymous teen wrote: “I can’t believe my best friend just died in front of me.”
The teen also goes by the moniker "Jesus Christo," but it's not clear if that's his real name.
Martin was killed just after 11:15 p.m. Tuesday for allegedly pointing a handgun at a Berkeley police officer at a Mobil gas station who was investigating a theft. The 34-year-old officer fired three shots at Martin “fearing for his life” as the teen raised the weapon, according to a statement released by St. Louis County Police.
As gunfire broke out, a second man seen with Martin at the gas station fled the scene.
The man claiming to be an 18-year-old witness sparked an overnight ruse with reporters and alleged he witnessed Martin’s death.
He said the unidentified officer shot Martin when both he and the suspect were ordered to the ground at gunpoint. The officer opened fire and killed Martin when he refused, Christo claimed.
Christo’s sad story quickly dissolved after he refused to speak to Huffington Post over the phone and began sharing sexually inappropriate tweets in what would have been a time of mourning.
He also plugged his Soundcloud and later SnapChat, but did not link to any known account for Soundcloud.
He owned up to his false account early Wednesday morning and told HuffPo to “do a better job of finding credible sources.”
Several of his tweets detailing his fake account of the shooting have since been deleted, but the initial post that started the fiasco has been shared more than 2,000 times.
The story published by Huffington Post now features a correction that states Christo was never at the gas station.
Two witnesses have provided statements to investigators on Martin’s shooting.
The shooting also led to a demostration with about 300 protesters, some of whom threw bricks and set off fireworks, at the gas station.

Not only does the link you posted say that the story you are getting your facts from is false but the story you believed has dude getting shot for not laying down, and you were cool w/ that?

Stop trying to make it seems like every damn incident involving a black kid and a white cop is the same. The Ferguson incident has nothing to do with this incident - the Berkley mayor, who is BLACK btw, even emphasized that during his press conference.

Show me where I made it seem like that in this thread
I just asked you a simple question on why you didn't laugh at folks who actually lied to the grand jury...not some Twitter troll

I'm laughing at the hypocrisy of the posters here that automatically assume the cop is in the wrong when an incident occurs involving a black kid. When this story first broke out, people were claiming another UNARMED black kid was gunned down by a white cop. When the more rational and objective posters suggested waiting until the facts came out, they were labeled as NT's favorite label of SWS. Go read the first 10 pages of this thread where people tried to equate this incident with the Michael Brown incident. I'm all for holding bad cops accountable for their actions, but idiots like @DesJuanTheThug only seek to inflame racial tensions.

Cop wasn't black
There isn't a trend of black cops shooting unarmed white males. Majority armed males are apprehended and able to get a fair trial. Colorado shooter...PA shooter...etc

It's always gonna be a race thing. If it wasn't then black people wouldn't be oppressed in every country they exist in. Even aborigines (sp?) are
Difference b/t some of us and others is that we're not afraid to talk about it. People know it exist but they choose to ignore them since it's not their problem and cause they benefit from it.
The most successful black community in american history was burned down cause white people were so upset about its success

No that's just the perverse view of the world you happen to have...stop trying to jam your skewed opinions on us post after post. I feel like people like you blame the majority of your problems on your race instead of working towards bettering yourself, knowing people who look just like you have done and accomplished so much and are respected highly as a result.
Get up off your *** and do whatever you can do better yourself and set a precedent and example for other brothers like you to follow instead of leading them to believe the world is out to get them and discourage them from believing they dont have a shot at justice or being treated equally.
