Another black teen killed by white police officer in St. Louis

Looks like all the protest isn't working because another black teen has been killed by police. The 18 year old was killed outside a gas station in Berkeley, Mo., about 2 miles west of Ferguson yesterday Dec. 23rd 

From NY Daily News
An outraged crowd of about 60 people gathered behind police crime scene tape early Wednesday morning as the body of Antonio Martin, 18, lay in the parking lot in front of the Mobil on North Hanley Rd for more than two hours, according to eyewitness reports.
Police allege that Martin drew a handgun on the officer as he approached during a routine patrol. Witnesses saw a weapon at the scene next to the body.

 The officer fired several shots, fatally wounding him, according to the St. Louis County Police Department.

Fearing for his life, the Berkeley Officer fired several shots, striking the subject, fatally wounding him," police said. "The second subject fled the scene."

 Toni Martin, the victim’s mother, said her son was with his girlfriend at the time of the shooting, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

    1. And all the black president does is keep quiet. Shame!

      If an arab man do it, he's a terrorist.
      If a black man do it, he's a menace to the society.
      If a white man do it, he's just depressed or mentally challenged.

      The world we live in!

      Very more why it saddens me deeply when I see young people partying away in poverty, instead of struggling hard to be a somebody in this bias world.

    2. Linda, if ACTUALLY he pointed a gun at the officer, then he deserved to be shot or even killed as in this instance. It was either his life or that of the officer. Probably he wanted to commit suicide by cop.

    6. Fuck the police every night. How the fuck a badged cop gonna shoot a teen just because he pointed a gun at him. Funny he didn't even fire a shot at the cop and the fuck cop fired a whole 3 shots at him. Before he was badged, he wasn't taught another way to disarm without killing the person? They killing teens, they killing dreams. #fuckThePolice again. Sowie for being raw. I'm pained!!!

    1. Ignorance is a big issue in this country.
      It clearly says that the black teenager pulled and pointed a gun at the officer.
      This is not a case of racism, but simply, self defense.
      No racism in self defense, he would have done the same if the kid was white.

  18. They always claim to feel threatened. Why is dat whites teens don't get killed or why is it dat black police officers don't kill white teens or is it only white policemen dat are always threatened. Racism cannot be cleared from america even wen the president is black

  26. Let's call a spade a spade...lets stop playing the "victim" and making everything about Race. Black Americans need to change the way they tell their story to the world (glorifying violence) before they can be treated with respect. In all these cases...whether Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, or this new case, the black guy attacked a police officers. Why would you threaten the life of a law enforcer? Why would a sane person do that?


    When blacks stop behaving like savages, they would be treated better.

    1. True talk here... They are now trying to manipulate the whole situation. How can you pull a guy at an officer and don't expect to get shot. Everyone quickly running to pick up the race card. #NoRacismInSelfDefense

    2. You are so right. Imagine an 18years old boy pointing a gun at an officer. So you guys expect the officer not to defend himself. In America, the blacks are always on the wrong side of the law. Crime, rape, looting etc. they need good orientation because most of the blacks commiting crimes in American have a very shaky family background. Though we have the responsible blacks but the irresponsible ones far outnumbered the responsible ones.

  68. Cops are taught to disarm first and have the equipment at their disposal in the US to do that. Police work isn't risk free, and officers sign up to contain the dangerous situations that come with the job. The problem here is that blacks keep winding up dead in their interactions with them. That police face some sheisty people over the course of doing their work isn't news.

  72. End times. Well the truth still stands that if the teen had a gun and ready to shoot the policeman, the officer would shoot first having the opportunity without calculating to only incapacitate. I'm sure anybody would do same if in the same position. But if it is also a case of racism, God will judge them.
    We need to accept Jesus and change from our bad ways and prepare for the life after death.
