Another unarmed black teen killed by the police, by soam24 on Aug 14, 2014 20:09:48 GMT 1, Depends who you want to believe.
The police say the black 18-year-old attacked the officer and tried to grab his gun. A friend who was with Mr Brown says that on the contrary, he was unarmed and had his hands up in the air.
Obviously not a good situation, and don't know what to believe.

Also had no prior criminal history.
I really hope this cop gets prosecuted by the fullest extent of the law

Another unarmed black teen killed by the police, by South Bound on Aug 14, 2014 20:34:57 GMT 1, American Cops are worthless... I know that some have done a lot of good. BUT they have done nothing but cause pain and heartache for my family and many others.
They will cover their rears and the officer at fault will keep his job and just end up as jailer, with no charges.
I hope the family in Missouri can get a little closure.
NWA said it best.

but i also think the theme is one often touched on by urban artists
this has what exactly to do with urban art? nothing really... but neither does many other important topics discussed on here. thought maybe some forum members outside the US might not be aware of what's going on here. but i also think the theme is one often touched on by urban artists |

It has as much to do with urban art as the thread that has been up for weeks regarding Isreal v Hamas, or the thread RIP Rik Mayal, or the thread about a rare record store closing.
With half of street art revolving around police abuse (See Banksy, Mau Mau, Ben Naz, La Staa, etc.), it is no less relevant than half the threads on this board.

Another unarmed black teen killed by the police, by Deleted on Aug 14, 2014 21:31:36 GMT 1, I don't know if it's to do with the community and by coming down hard and heavy on the locals even during peaceful demos, the police show that they are in charge.
Sort of what the British did in Kenya in the 50's and what went on in South Africa during apartheid.
Whether it's a mini version of that mentality going on across different cities and communities in the USA.
Is it a policy adopted by some local police chiefs?

Another unarmed black teen killed by the police, by monkeyface on Aug 14, 2014 21:34:01 GMT 1, Everything is not so black and white. (No pun intended)
I have no love for the police but the title of this thread is stupid.
105 police officers were killed in the line of duty in America last year. This year 64 so far and 27 of those were shot. These don't even count those wounded.
Not every black kid is a criminal. Not every black kid killed by police is innocent. And as much is it pains me to say not every police officer is an asshole.
If your gonna start this kind of discussion on a art forum why not try a more intelligent thread title. It might inspire a more intelligent discussion.

Or something like that.

No proper investigation has been done, no footage of the event exists that I am aware of and you can only rely on eyewitness testimony which at this time is contradictory between the two groups involved.

Another unarmed black teen killed by the police, by Deleted on Aug 14, 2014 22:11:15 GMT 1, The excessive militarisation of local police is well advanced in the US and being closely followed by a few European countries. The war on drugs and terror industry sees billions of dollars of military equipment bought from federal government and related corporations by state and local police departments every year with tax payers money, someone's gettng rich whilst the local beat cop is being steadily replaced by warrior cop SWAT teams armed to the teeth.
Without a major shift in economic theory, America is on a one way trip to hell. The steady rise of gated communities with armed guards and a completely militarized Police force whilst prosecuting people for living "Off Grid" should offer a clue. Major civil unrest is right around the corner if the powers that be don't stamp it out immediately with extreme prejudice. Aggressive paramilitarism against local populations will become a regular event I'm sure. Closing off Ferguson to all traffic, media and shutting down the airspace above it is pretty insane if you ask me. Do we need anymore evidence ?
