Yet another black male killed in Ferguson.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-30596531

Black youth Antonio Martin (18 y/o) is gunned down by a police officer.

According to French news, a gun was found close by to the petrol station where the shooting occurred.

Anyone seeing the irony?

Black male is 'lawfully' shot, is armed, yet the community is in uproar.

Obviously it's a horrible event, but if blacks are looking to gain equality, why are so many looting innocent stores and creating unrest?

In cases like this its almost impossible to know exactly what happened unless their is clear evidence such as CCTV. Its just the officers recollection of what happened vs the family claiming he was running away, and to be honest i'd be skeptical to trust either.

Will have to wait and see i guess, however i do think its getting to a point that now every single police shooting (especially when the victim is black) is just being viewed as a murder by the police and half these "protesters" don't even seem to consider the possibility the victim may have actually reached for his weapon.

He probably was guilty tbh, people just use these shootings as an excuse to loot/cause trouble

They have CCTV evidence from the petrol station. Most of the "protesters" are either there to attack the police as they already have done or to loot shops.

Why have you put protesters in quotes ?

They aren't really there to protest. They are there to attack the police and loot shops. Both of which actually happened.

The police were protecting the public from a man who was armed and clearly dangerous and they get attacked for it.

No they don't.

From what I heard he pulled a gun on a cop. Not that it matters, people will have already decided what happened as soon as they hear cop shoots black man

They are there to protest. African Americans are hurting right now and it is disgusting that after all the recent events over there you reduce their actions to them just wanting new Jordans and to 'cause trouble'. Disgusting.

what even? You do realize that regardless of people's motivations for protesting some people will always try to take advantage of the chaos and wreck havoc. You do not speak on behalf of African-Americans, so please don't assume you know why they're there. There have been tonnes of successful peaceful protests all over the US, but of course you use a minority of trouble makers as a representative of all the fed up protesters. How predictable

The incident occurs in the top left hand corner. It does not show the actual shooting.

No they don't.

But weren't the London riots caused by the police shooting a drug dealer who had a fake firearm and the youths of London used that as an excuses to riot?

'If blacks are looking to gain equality'

Man... sit your ass all the way down.
