Is that little feller that the big one is yanking on supposed to be the proprietor?

Looks like a kid to me.

And wheres the box of cigars?

All I see in the big guys hands is what looks like a bottled water.

It really ties into your comment about militarization doesn't it Bob? Pull back the armored vehicles and things cool down? Though I don't know if a white commander could've pulled it off, and I'm still for shooting looters

Language is a living thing, Pete. Dictionaries follow usage, they don't define it.

What's so hard about that?

If it was good enough for the cops to try to apprehend Brown, then it was good enough to release to the public.

They would have put that up on America's Most Wanted without a qualm....you can release these videos in the interest of serving the public against crime.

Actually, I said, the truth "appears to be that the deceased was a 300 lbs thug suspected of stealing merchandise through intimidation."

If you're going to have a weak argument, at least try starting with a strong -- or even accurate -- quote as premise.

As for evidence, there is a small surveillance photo running around this thread...

So if folks like Zeke or Pete use it they're being racist because some talking head said so?

Hey Zeke Nice haircut.

Funny--I heard that the protesters at Ferguson were afflicted with 'poor impulse control,' and feelings of 'anger' and 'entitlement' and stuff, so there was no point and no reason to threat them with respect.

Zeke deserves an apology by a few on this site
