North Korea slams U.S. as racist, human rights 'tundra'

Not being armed does not make a person unable to harm or kill w/o weapons. Especially with the size of this man.

And the man was not targeted. He was walking in the middle of the street. This is against the law and the officer had every right to ask them off the street. It escalated from there! The man was asking for trouble defying the police. Again, it escalated and to a point either Brown or Wilson wanted.

Lying witnesses, inaccurate witnesses and irresponsible news media and now we have this!

Yes, walking in the middle of the street is definitely a public hazard which should not be allowed, punishable with death.

It was not punishable with death. It was the complete lack of respect to authority leading to an attempt to seriously harm the officer. That along with the Gran Jury's findings these were suspects in the store robbery. This all escalated to gunshots due to Brown's decisions. Had he stepped out of the street when asked, who knows! A simple cigar theft arrest?

If the cop was out for blood, why was only one of two shot? While the second perpetrator was untouched, unharmed and not involved in an altercation?

FYI- Walking in the middle of the street is a public hazard and is against the law. It doesn't matter what reason he was stopped, it's what you do afterward which can result in going about your business the rest of the day or fight a cop and die as we saw in Ferguson. Police do have authority, that's their job. To disrespect police you open yourself for suspicion of perhaps bigger issues. This in not a racial targeting it is a punks attitude looking for trouble!

PRNK is not far off the mark here. Most foreigners I know both business associates or just friends who live in countries without a large percentage of citizens and police that armed to the teeth, think Americans are seriously screwed up in the head and have some strange obsession with weapons like they are extensions of their phallus or similar. The solution to guns is not more guns, the solution to nuclear weapons is not more nukes, etc. Unfortunately, the standard operating procedure for most police In the USA is to draw you weapon first, shoot at the person's torso or head and don't stop shooting until your gun is empty. When I was younger, much younger, police pointed a gun at a suspect and engaged in dialogue in an attempt to defuse the situation, today this is not the case anymore and police are trained to shoot first and ask questions later which is probably because they make so much friggin money at retirement they care more about that than working a problem through less violently. Police also have an incredible amount of immunity to prosecution for overuse of force or just plain murder by cop scenarios. Today there are a lot of bad cops and psychologically unbalanced cops running around with military grade hardware and super macho egos.

NK and Russia can't say anything. They can't comprehend the complications of race issues and civil rights dating way back to the 1700s in the US because they don't have such things! What's the percentage of black, Latino, native American populations in those countries? Not enough for them to "get it", that's for sure.
