The Ohio cops took two seconds

to kill that twelve year old with the toy gun. You see this time there is video. M$Greedia of course went after the kids parents because there is nothing on him.

Connie Shultz is on Chris Hayes.

This is unbelievable!!

the Michael Brown shooting is a very poor example to hold up as a case of injustice by law enforcement. It has been totally counter productive and has done the cause far more harm than good.

3. There are way too many cases like this. That should be the point.

I don't watch mainstream media. I am seeing it on the net. The video of the Powell shooting by the St. Louis city police; they took all of 20 seconds. Yes, he had a knife, but there had been by standers who did not seem afraid or threatened. Looks like the cops could have handled it way different.

There is a video out by a rapper (don't know his name) called "This is what happens when you call the police". It is very powerful, and doesn't even include the recent cases.

We do not live in the free and just country that M$M wants us to believe.
