For what it's worth, I don't see how the Myers case is any cause for protesting. I don't think anyone in their right might sees that shooting as unjustified. Some protesters may think it was a hasty decision, but I would disagree. Is there anything saying that the protests are about Myers rather than Brown? It seems to me that MB's death is the main catalyst for the protests. I don't think people are protesting for Myers as much as they are for Brown.
The reason they were all in SHAW last night was because of Meyers. A couple days ago,Meyers parents attended and gave a speech.
The protestors surged at the scene of his shooting. MANY of the protestors were including Meyers in their anger towards the cops.
I was asking questions about the Myers shooting in Bellas live chat. Her MOD in the chat said she was going to ignore any and all questions about Myers shooting because there was only one thing they needed to know:
"myers is dead, and he is a young black male shot by a cop" = all they need to know
I asked, is that REALLY all you need to know? Doesnt the cop have he right to shoot back? She said NO. He does not. He should have never looked at or followed them. So he is wrong and racist and had no business STARTING the incident.
So I asked, what about his ankle monitor? Doesnt the cop have a right to ask why he is out and about? She said NO, because there was no ankle bracelet, that is all a lie by LE. [ But his lawyer publicly discussed the ankle bracelet already...so...and we have seen casenet and the pictures of him with guns]
