    I don't know about you, but I acted like a grown man when I was 18 and I was treated like one, too.

    That is kind of unfortunate, because the law is going to treat you like a grown man.

    Luckily I only had 1 run in. And I was deathly afraid of the police. They strip searched me in the street, I was basically naked in public, it was very embarrassing. Weed was found in the car I was in with 3 other people those other 3 were arrested because they were lippy, I shut up and complied. I remember the cop saying, you sure are quiet how come you aren't as mouthy as your friends, and I said my dad told me not to speak unless spoken to sir. They all went to jail, I didn't. Ok I see your point now.

    Dude, the cop had been fighting with Brown and getting his ass kicked to the point of needing medical treatment for his injuries. Kneecapping somebody or shooting the gun out of their hands is only in the movies. Once the decision is made the the use of deadly force is necessary and justified any cop is going to empty his weapon on you. In Baton Rouge they carry Glock 40s so if that had happened in Baton Rouge Brown would have had 13 bullets in him, assuming one in the chamber and no misses.

    "I'm not worried about the Taliban, I'm worried about you."

    If the Grand Jury decided that the evidence wasn't enough to charge the man, then that's just the way it is. None of us saw all the evidence involved. What we did see was what our preferred media put in front of us. The individuals on the Grand Jury saw all of the evidence and reached a conclusion based upon it. This is the way our system of justice is supposed to operate so I am not so sympathetic to those who incite violence and property damage because of it.
