18 y/o Black male shot dead by Police in St Louis suburb of Berkeley MO

I think LE should be obliged to give badge numbers. They're public servants, so they are accountable to the public.

It looks like the youth may not have been "unarmed" after all (not that it will matter to protesters)

Yep that's what I thought he said... Oh boy this isn't gonna be good.. At all... Yet this officer wants respect in return?

I say, put em all on an island, and let them duke it out. This is horrible.

Police still arriving, the Ustream is halting a bit as it's getting a lot of traffic but whoever she is is doing a great job of reporting.

CNN is still not covering this! Shame on them!

Calm down now.........knock on wood.

I can't believe they are going home. I think they are re grouping, but that's JMO.

it would be nice if people could control their veiled racism and politicization of this at least until the body is cold...

 

[Tulessa]

There'll be no going back from this one, I'm afraid.

I agree. She is sticking to the facts and avoiding any editorializing.

Especially if it becomes a political/"sociological" discussion with virtually no attention to the details of the case, like the Mike Brown thread and that of the two slain Bronx LEOs.
