How many people thought the officer was automatically innocent? More and more people are starting to think that it's a real possibility as more evidence is revealed but I don't know anyone who automatically presumed the officer was innocent without hearing any evidence.
I'm sure there were people who did though, especially other cops.
It's still quite possible he was not justified in using deadly force although that's becoming less and less likely.

I didn't say anything on this matter until relevant information was released, which was after the demonstrations... er lootings started. Fact is I had no opinion at all for at least a couple days until the facts stared to emerge.
Same thing on the Kelly Thomas murder. Oh yeah.. guy was white, not a huge story, no reason to go out and burn down our own neighborhoods led by the NAACP and Black Panthers. But cops do screw up, nothing new, but usually it's dealt with if allowed due process to succeed.
I can say I have been threatened to be shot by cops before. One thing for sure, I didn't charge at him, that's simply considered suicide. But then I didn't rob a liquor store minutes before, I was just a teen headed home from a friends house after curfew, ducked back into my friends back yard and closed the door of the shed behind me. "come out or you might get shot" "come out or we may shoot you" "you don't want to get shot, do you?" etc etc. Yeah... my friend told them to F'off and get the hell off his property

Not my only encounter with cops in the wrong.
But yeah, lets just overlook the fact that cops work for local, state and federal government agencies (Holder and Obama are just
suuch victims). Lets just blame it all on white people, or cops, or the mom and pops store they just looted and burnt to the ground, since they are the "evil rich 1%'ers" anyway, teh maaan holding them down. "no justice no peace" - "no justice no peace" and free TV sets!
Other than that, what someone said, yes militarization of the police, agreed. Possible FEMA camps in the future, of course. But all these black people are just blowing their rage led by the very people that will do those things to them. If we were only untied to make sure the gov wouldn't overstep their bounds (as we have been, as we were); but being divided as they would have you, it only plays into their own power struggle and a reason to see the US fall into a state of complete strife, into anarchy. Then they will happily come in and save you from yourselves, and put everyone in chains for your safety.

Was this why 0bama had an undisclosed emergency meeting with Biden, cutting his vacation short? imo a move to worsen the situation after 0bama's limp-wrist appeals for civil order. Good time to get out of the cities for a short vacation imo.. or long vacation.
