Well without getting into the full case of the Ferguson shootings, it is clear from the autopsy he was shot in the front, not `in the back while having his arms up`
Cctv footage also shows him involved in agressive robbery before hand, meaning he is ANYTHING BUT a `innocent victim in the wrong place at the wrong time`.
I am not following the brown case because it is of no interest to me in the UK, plus i have ZERO sympathy for what is clearly a gang member/ trouble maker type person.
These people are thugs, plain and simple, and its okay for them to carry out burgularys/ theft/ muggings or even killings, but when it comes to one of them being killed by the cops, suddenly there is out rage across the ghetto/ thug world, and that somehow gives them the right to create anarchy and looting.
Same happend in the UK in 2011, this is why i just do not in the slightest feel sorry for gangs/ ghetto people etc, whenever i hear about one of them being killed by police, i couldnt give a damn how or why, i just think` great one less gangster on the street`.
The police are no angels, nor am i saying every gangster deservers to die, but to play the `woe is betide us` card, is just ridiculous. i do not feel sorry for these people in the slightest, these are the same kind of people that rob stores/ steal cars/ harrass people walking by/ mug people for their phones etc, and the more of them gone, the better.
Once again, the police are no angels, but they do NOT randomly open fire on people (maybe dogs yes, but not people),
If this thug would have listened to them, and not been ignorant and try to get away to look tough, and then brag to his friends on the streets how tough he was, he would not have been shot, Period.

To the question in the title. Why do thugs play the innocent victim card.
Because it hurts their narrative of being oppressed by "the man"
it destroys their self delusion
of not having to be accountable for their actions
because their poverty, their poor education, their (name the victimhood) made them do it
So in their minds it is the fault of whomever they feel victimized by
they have never been taught to take personal responsibility by their parents or their government
AND their "leaders" and the current PC climate encourage them to forsake personal responsibility for victimhood.

It seems you know the deceased? If you don't, then your comments based on your particular stereotypes are inappropriate and not credible in the least.

Well what do you call a guy at within moments manhandles a store clerk and then tries to take a gun from a cop? Don't sound much like a boy scout.

Well in the states its about race and police politics. 100 black can kill 100 blacks and its simply a matter of statistics for the most part politically.

That makes zero sense. Take responsibility for that will you?
