the kids getting shot in Chicago are not 'far less important' but it is not apples to apples to a cop of any race shooting an unarmed kid of any race.

He was a big kid. Hyped up on adrenaline and perhaps drugs. You don't stop shooting unti the person stops advancing . From what I hear the police officer was injured during the scuffle.
Are we feeling more comfortable now that attorney Holder is on the case?

Agreed. If thats how the facts play out, it was justified. From what I have read, a lot of information has not been released yet, and a lot of questions remain.

None of this justifies the rioting etc, although a lot has been clearly instigated by people outside the community looking to stir #^&#^&#^&#^& up

I know nothing of this Mel Robbins woman, but it summarizes some of the holes in the story, and the two wildly conflicting accounts. Again, it might all play out exactly as the police office stated, but issues remain that need to be clarified.

Don't take this the wrong way Brian but the article you linked is a complete piece of crap . It is full of misinformation . She is outraged that the state is investigating this and haven't made all the facts public ???? It's an investigation and one needs to be very careful . There won't be an indictment because my guess is the only guilty party is dead , however lawyers being lawyers , there will be a civil suit . ( extortion / payoff )
