She sounds like me when I get just about good and tired of stupid shit. I hate a lack of goals. Ain't school still in? I do not have time to be outside protesting with NO GOAL. Finals coming up.

Earlier Wednesday afternoon, there was an interesting moment as Jamar Clark's sister drove up on the scene as protesters were shouting down police. Javille Burns opened her window and addressed protesters, clearly angry, asking them what their goal was. "You're pissing people off," she shouted. "These officers can't do nothing for you... you're ignorant." When one protester tried to engage her, Burns jumped out of the car and ran at him. "That's my brother that got shot... my blood (expletive) brother!

Until all the evidence is released we really won't know. It is really hard to believe that the cops handcuffed him and then executed him in front of his girlfriend, an ambulance crew, and several other witnesses.

I would bet they handcuffed him after he was shot which is a standard practice for a downed suspect. The typical order is suspect goes down, cuff suspect, search suspect, then render medical assistance.

Either way he was still unarmed as far as we know, the cops claim he gained possession of one of their firearms in their struggle to initially arrest him. I'm glad the federal investigators are arriving there to oversee the investigation.
