Thoughts? Mr. Cunningham should be sleeping next to Mr. Brown. But Mr. Cunningham was probably abused as a child and thought he was doing the right thing.

My thoughts..?
We have another lowest class of human excrement disgusting degenerate lowlife, continuing to feed the black thug life culture stereo type.
The kind of POS that does this and goes on social media bragging about it, is the kind of person that can never be trusted to live within a civil society and should ultimately live the rest of his life in a cage with no second chance, ever!

more thoughts....? this will get much much worse until there is an all out backlash that will leave many dead!

thank the media, the sharptons the farakahns, the obamas of the world for this kind of thing.

And just curious how long they'll lock him up for?

Great job tho! Hope he can stay safe throughout the life of his challenging career.

Is he issued a body camera Scottie? Just wondering as up in Cleveland they are mandating them after the issue there with Tamir Rice.

I dont think so? ill have to ask.

He got another new gun the other day thats pretty cool, its a little mini Glock he wears on his ankle.He also had an AR15 on order and now that he is an officer they are rebuilding it, adding 3 round burst and a huge clip. I guess California laws are really strict on assault rifles, now he doesnt have to abide by them.

btw: his "official" ceremony to be sworn in is tomorrow.

What is worst? Being a coward or shooting an unarmed black man when your life is in danger?

Are those the only two choices to pick from?

Every time I read those articles, that "unarmed" part of the sentence just fucking pisses me off to no end. Makes it sound like Michael Brown was innocently walking down the sidewalk on his way to grandma's and an officer shot and killed him without even confronting him. . . Why not list it for what it was, a black man that assaulted an officer. Or just leave out the "unarmed" part. Just because he was unarmed doesn't mean he wasn't a threat. That's 100% an attempt by the media to continue fanning and fueling the fire. There is no other reason to continuously say the word "unarmed".

If it keeps going this way, I see a lot of good police officers quitting because of the hassles and backlash from doing their job. Why would you put yourself through all that for a few dollars, calling or not. Don't want to die?......don't fight a police officer. Seems simple enough, even though there may be a few exceptions.
