"It could have been him"

Then it was.

Something isn't adding up here. Coincidence?

[Cha]

1. So incredibly heartbreaking..

Joshua Brown

Mahalo, she

[sheshe2]

25. Thank you, Cha.

[malaise]

2. No coincidence

Shit in the mouth and chest.

[sheshe2]

3. They need to go down for this.

[lunatica]

4. This makes me literally feel sick

My 1st thought, and my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th is that it was quite deliberate. And it may have been a cop too. The police can start their investigation with the murderer’s co-workers.

[sheshe2]

5. I just read that it was an execution.

The message was sent.

I agree, lunatica, they can start with her co-workers. The leo has fingerprints all over this.

[lunatica]

7. And she'll be out celebrating with them in just a few years.

God! This is disgusting beyond words! I want to scream!

[sheshe2]

9. This makes me so angry.

I say take a look at her boyfriend cop and then his friends.

[getagrip_already]

13. sooner if there is a re-trial......

without this witness, it becomes much harder to set the moment.

[NotHardly]

17. That is a repugnant remark for which you have no basis... shame on you.

[lunatica]

21. You defending convicted murderers

is what’s shameful.

[malaise]

8. Isn't the boyfriend a leo?

[sheshe2]

10. I just posted that above.

Yep. Look to him first.

[Soph0571]

11. The law are lawless fuckers nt

[struggle4progress]

15. +

[ecstatic]

6. Clearly an execution. The KKK segment of the police force

just got their revenge. And they will never be held accountable. If anything, they'll pin the murder on someone else. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

[FakeNoose]

12. Why didn't he have witness protection?

The DA's office needs to answer for this!

[Laffy Kat]

14. Goddamn it.

[spanone]

16. K&R...

[wendyb-NC]

18. What terrible heartbreaking news.

This is such a horrible, and senseless tragedy. Joshua Brown's death must be investigated rigorously, and the responsible person held accountable.
My heart goes out to his loved ones. They must be devastated.

[kozar]

19. Real America on cam, LIVE n/t

[littlemissmartypants]

20. So tragic and it stinks to high heaven. He was so brave.

Very conspicuous.

[sheshe2]

24. He was brave.

My heart breaks.

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Mine too, she.

[dchill]

22. Does this mean they'll add another 10 days to her sentence?

[Archae]

23. Until the actual killer is caught, I am *NOT* going to right away jump on the conspiracy bullshit.

We raise holy hell about Sean Hannity and his "Seth Rich wuz kilt by Hillary" bullshit, yet we immediately jump on a conspiracy theory of our own as soon as the news hits.

[Kurt V.]

26. one is sean hannity. but okay 👍

[HipChick]

27. Yup..

There's a reason that the community does not trust the police..

[warmfeet]

29. Speculation is not going to help anyone.

Let's get to the bottom of this. I, for one, do not want to be among the mouth breathers spouting endless bullshit without facts to support it. We need facts. We need evidence.

When the facts and the evidence are apparent, we move forward. Without facts and without evidence, we are placing ourselves at the same level as the scumbags eviscerating our country.

I, for one, have no desire to place myself at that level.

[sheshe2]

30. So.

You are calling me and others here:

I, for one, do not want to be among the mouth breathers spouting endless bullshit without facts to support it. We need facts. We need evidence.

Sure let's wait for the evidence. We have seen so much evidence of brutality against black men and women. Most have gotten off scot free. Perhaps we can have another sentence like Ambers. Ten damn years for murder and possible parole in five.

History repeats over and over again. Sorry if I am jaded.

Police killings of black men in the U.S. and what happened to the officers

The funeral unfolded Thursday for Stephon Clark, the latest black man killed at the hands of police whose death has sparked protests and drawn national attention. Police fatally shot Clark in his grandparents' backyard on March 18 after confusing his cellphone for a gun. Days of demonstrations have followed, shutting down a city meeting and drawing support from its NBA team.

Meanwhile, in Louisiana, the state attorney general announced no charges will result from the police killing of Alton Sterling, who was fatally shot while selling CDs outside a Baton Rouge store in 2016.


Here's a look at what happened after the deaths of other black men after police-interactions in high-profile cases nationwide, from Tamir Rice to today.

Tamir Rice (Nov. 22, 2014, in Cleveland)
Timothy Loehmann, an officer in training, said he had "no choice" but to shoot and kill 12-year-old Tamir Rice as the boy held a BB gun outside a recreational center. After a call claimed a man had pointed a gun at people in the area, Loehmann jumped out of his car and shot Rice within moments. No witnesses heard officers issue any warnings.

The conclusion: A Cleveland grand jury declined to bring charges in December 2015. The city agreed to pay $6 million to Rice's family but admitted no wrongdoing. The city later fired Loehmann.
