Smoking kills!
This is, btw, the part of Florida known as "Southern Alabama", full of teabaggers and racists.

They're afflicted with a syndrome known as 'being fucking cops' It's a highly problematic condition known to affect 100% of police.
So we can put you in the "Supports Cops Gunning Down a Black Guy Going To His Car To Get Cigarettes" category?
I'm sure if it was a white guy, or George Zimmerman, you'd be outraged!

You'd think howey would know what an ignore list is. He's on more than a few of them.

Didn't see where Howey blamed a political group. He says that section of Fl is full of "teabaggers and racists" but he doesn't blame them for the shooting.

That sounded like he supported the cops? lol
Sounded to me like he was saying "it's all in a days work", as in supporting the cops.
In Florida, they don't seem to need to see a weapon before they start gunning someone down?
What happened to "hands in the air!", or shit like that?
that's the obvious implication by mentioning them. Are suggesting it doesn't imply such? Then you are in denial. Tell us why Howey mentions teabaggers?
Then I'll make sure your nasty ass isn't in my threads.
Or does constitute another "warning" from your Overmoderator?
And this why you are an asshole
Deputies Jeremiah Meeks and Matthew White responded to a 911 call on Saturday of a possible burglary and found Roy Middleton, 60, rummaging through a car in the 200 block of Shadow Lawn Lane in Warrington, Morgan said. Middleton was searching for a loose cigarette in his mother’s car.
Morgan said the deputies reported that, after they'd made multiple commands to Middleton to show his hands, he eventually lunged out of the car and spun toward them, causing them to "fear for their safety."
"As much as we are trained and as much as officers -- which have Type A personalities -- like to say we are in control, we are not," Morgan said at the conference.
During an afternoon press conference, Morgan played the 911 call made by a neighbor along with the corresponding radio traffic from officers on the scene.
Middleton has said he was in his mother's car, searching for a cigarette. When he backed out of the vehicle, he had his car keys in his hand with a metal flashlight attached, he told his mother. The deputies opened fire.
It was at that point that Ceola Walker, 77, who was sleeping inside, awoke to the commotion.
“I heard the shots,” she said. “(The deputies) told me to close the door and not come out. They called an ambulance for him.” Middleton suffered shattered bones in his left thigh that will require the insertion of a metal rod.
A Baptist Hospital spokeswoman said Middleton is currently listed in good condition. Walker said she expects her son home by Wednesday.
The incident is being investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the deputies involved have been placed on paid administrative leave, as is standard in deputy-involved shootings.

Looks like an honest mistake....

Better put your tinfoil hat on again...
To me, the "teabaggers and racists" was commentary to give us an idea what this area is like. I suppose the implication is that in an area with tb'ers and racists, it's more likely that there will be police misconduct. But that's not implying causation, just correlation.
But hey - you are the one that jumped to the conclusion; can you tell us why you think tb'ers are more likely to shoot people for nothing?
