BERKELEY, Mo. (AP) — Violent protests broke out again in suburban St. Louis after another fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer.

The shooting happened around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday at a convenience store in Berkeley, Missouri, just a few miles from Ferguson, where Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, was killed by a white officer in August.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar says the Berkeley shooting victim was black and the officer white.

Belmar says police were called about a theft and as the officer questioned two men, one pointed a gun at him. The officer fired three shots. One hit the gunman.

A violent protest broke out. Two officers were injured, police cars were damaged and fire was set at a QuikTrip store. Four people were arrested.

Obama might have to break away from his Hawaii vacation long enough to address the in-progress, long-time-in-coming, race war.

We have two long years before sanity returns to an insane country.

Whitey had best wake up, smell the coffee and the coming race war.

From my perspective, most of Whitey is in need of a good purge. Good riddance. On the other hand those who have a clue are prepared for what is about to come down.

I was taught that if a weapon was ever drawn, it was immediately discharged until there were no rounds left to fire.

What sort of imbecile "points" a weapon at anyone, much less a cop?

Agreed, but today, since when are cops up to any good as well?

Why did the cop go bother them there in the first place? I'm not defending them, but just carrying a gun isn't a crime. At least not to non-cops for whom chewing gum improperly or not to the cop's liking is a crime often worthy of death or certainly tazing and a severe beating.

It's unfortunate, but this is how society has devolved in modern day America.

I refuse to back these psychotic losers simply because the person that they approached for unknown and perhaps not even any justifiable reason whatsoever other than to make every damn facet of life their business, something that has no moral basis either, happened to have a gun and who knows, may not even have been up to any good as many are. But cops aren't up to any good either generally speaking. They're to be avoided at all costs. They're nothing but a government sponsored gang, many of whom are psychotic, the rest of which are sociopathic.

I refuse to take sides in these societaly dividing issues. Both sides are wrong, the cops and the perps. If the cops wouldn't be perps when they have nothing better to do they would get more support from society, but their psychosis and egos will not allow that to be the case any more these days. So unfortunately they'll have to continue to reap what they've at least partially sown.

I heartily endorse the avoidance concept.

It's not as if there's much of a choice these days. It's remarkable how many of our friends we talk to that randomly come out with similar statements as to how they've taught their children to never approach cops.

If I were a cop I'd either think of quitting and taking on a new profession or becoming vocal as to why Americans are increasingly thinking this way and addressing the real problem. The problem there is that they'd all almost instantly become quasi-Serpicos.

In the same way that a white person avoids a problematic black ghetto neighborhood at night, or that one generally does not take a stroll down a crime-laden neighborhood otherwise, approaching the cops these days is no difference.

You never have the first damn clue what petty emotional stimulus is going to set one of these cops off. Could be something as stupid as they don't like the way you look.

When a cell phone can be construed, at least in the legal defense sense, as a weapon, then Houston we have a problem to say the least.

It's unfortunate that the ones that have much perspective on this are now 50-ish or older and rememember the old community cop days if not the days of the neighborhood beat cops. Others are too young to have much perspective and 9/11 and other related nonsense has clouded their collective judgement.
