Its amazing that no one cares about the shop keeper;
1. He was intimidated and robbed; probably not for the first time.
2. He was brave enough to confront the goon and assaulted as a result.
3. He then contacted the police like a responsible citizen instead of chasing the goon with a shotgun.
Result: His shop gets burned down by "peaceful protesters", so hes lost the business for which he worked so hard after being robbed and assaulted
My questions are these:
1. Why does the govt not protect this honest tax payer?
2. Why does the public feel no sympathy for him?
3. Why would anyone open a business there? (It seems there was wanton looting all over the place)
And why does everything in America become about race all the time, to me its just criminal activity, how does it matter what colour the robber and the cop are... |
Actually the shop owner didn't call in a robbery at all.....his lawyer already stated that.

Oh my bad :(
Still the rest of my point stands. I was reading case law on US police shootings and it seems that the prosecution would have to prove that there was no danger from the policemans perspective in order to prove the shooting was foul, that would be crazy hard.
One observation from an indian perspective is that US policemen seem to exceptionally well armed. Apperently the gear is from the US-Afghan war. Indian state police and even Central Reserve Police Force which fights hardcore seperatist and left wing insurgencies dont use gear like that.
But on the other hand arson is a red line in India and riot police would've opened fire with live ammo, Missouri policemen have shown a lot restraint.
