    Excerpt:

    Meanwhile, Roberts said he and other officers drove to the address associated with the Pathfinder after he stopped the pursuit. A neighbor told him the couple living at the home were in the middle of a divorce. The neighbor said the husband was renting a home in the 4600 block of 120th Boulevard.

    Miller chased Coppola on foot and used his stun gun. Coppola dropped to the ground, face down.

    Miller said Coppola had a military-issued cartridge belt with a pistol holster and a bayonet and held a Colt 1911 semiautomatic .45-caliber pistol in his right hand.

    Miller said he activated his stun gun again and ordered Coppola to drop his pistol.

    He said Coppola hid his hands under his chest, refusing to surrender them so officers could place them in handcuffs.

    Miller said Coppola refused multiple orders to surrender his hands.


    More officers arrived at the scene and beat Coppola to gain compliance: Officer Roy Gober reported he punched Coppola in the head. Officer Corey Nunley said he struck Coppola’s legs with his baton. Roberts said he punched Coppola in the upper right back.

    Officers were concerned Coppola may have had more weapons.

    Coppola eventually ceased resisting and officers placed him in handcuffs.

    He was taken to University Medical Center for treatment and was released pending the filing of formal charges.

    So this dude led police on a high speed chase, got out and ran with a ? bayonet in his hand and a .45 on him, hid his hands, refused to surrender them, and continued to resist arrest, the officers were concerned he had more weapons YET they still saw no reason to shoot him while black men are being portrayed as ? Marvel villians and being shot out of "fear".

    Let's talk about the obvious difference in which police routinely handle armed white criminals vs unarmed black ones, knee-pad P

    Unless I'm reading it wrong

    -Taking the pack of cigarettes from store clerk
    -Pharrell doesn't cosign Mike Brown getting killed fatality
    -Speaking about racial profile and the methods used in inner city (doesn't condemn)
    -Pushes for the officer to be charged and serve time
    -Not complying with a trigger happy officer will cause trouble, but you shouldn't lose your life, be maimed, and/or your lose dignity
    -Obama not addressing the situation at Freguson


    Except for the bullying rebuttal, he's dead on with the rest.

    1. Michael Brown is 18. That makes him a grown man and accountable for his actions
    2. actions include, robbing a store/resisting arrest/attacking an officer doing his job
    3. Karma is a ? . If he had not stolen cigars from the store,but paid for them, he wouldn't be looked at as a criminal by any logical human being.
    4. Dude was 6' 4" and almost 300 pounds. No one is checking to see the age of someone attacking them with that build
    Let the races be reversed and see how many blacks would uphold the officer then.

    1.Michael Brown was 18. That made him a teenager, still restricted by his age to do certain things. "Grown' by no stretch of the word.
    2. He was never convicted of stealing cigars and never proven to have stolen cigars and never proven to have not paid for them in a court of law.
    3. Trayvon Martin had paid for his items before he died and was still labeled a thug by self-proclaimed logical human beings. Safe to say Michael Brown would have gotten the same treatment no matter what he had done in the store leading up to his shooting.
    4.Mike Brown was 6'4 almost 300 pounds. Darren Wilson was 6'4 218 pounds, trained in combat and armed with a firearm and a melee weapon. So yeah Darren Wilson DEFINITELY had the upper hand.

    Got any more points you need ? on and shot down?

    That poster is trolling in different threads on this topic. Don't bother, just flag it.

    1.18 is considered an adult in the USA
    point stands
    2, We all saw the video, doesn't matter if he went to court or not, wrong is wrong and lets not forget he attacked the officer
    point stands
    3. I look at Trayvon case the same i look at this one, my fellow blacks are making this about white people when its something we need to change.
    4. Mike still had a weight advantage and attacked him. Dude had a right to defend himself
    point stands

    isn't he the producer for the Clipse?

    not anymore... see he trying to leave the best for later, but Pusha tried to put him on the respirator

    he's trying to leave the old "grinding" pharrel behind but pusha is trying to pull him back to that which pharrel decided is the equivalent to being hooked up on his deathbed go figure
