Black Teen Fatally Shot By Cop 2 Miles From Ferguson, MO
This happened in the city of Berkeley, MO at a gas station late Tuesday night.
[su_center_ad]
St. Louis County Police confirmed in a statement that an officer from the city of Berkeley had “fired several shots,” saying the cop was “fearing for his life” after a male allegedly pulled out a handgun and pointed it at him. A handgun was recovered at the scene, police added.
Police did not confirm the victim’s identity, but a distraught woman at the scene identified herself to reporters as Toni Martin [pictured] and said that her 18-year-old son, Antonio Martin, was the victim.
She said Martin was on his way to meet his girlfriend when the fatal encounter with cops happened and that he was not carrying a gun. “He only just left the house to go see her,” she said.”They was walking somewhere … maybe he started to run and they start shooting.”

They better have video to justify this or things might explode again.

Afraid things will explode whether it was justified as ABC news reported that one pointed a weapon at the officers, or not. The tinder is too dry now for it not to. Someone tried to burn a Kwik trip near there.

And the weapon was defaced, as in serial number ground off.

I found this at Mediaite: http://www.mediaite.com/online/st-louis-police-release-video-it-says-shows-subject-pointing-gun-at-officer/ The vid was released by St. Louis police. It’s supposed to show Martin pointing a gun, but I can’t see that. The vid was taken from a distance. There’s a still showing Martin with his right arm raised, pointing skyward, but I don’t see a gun. Neither shows Martin pointing a gun at anyone.
Edit: Just saw an enlarged, clearer version of the still. The focus is less on the person standing in the center of the still and more on the background, nearer the cruiser. In that photo, it does appear that a person is pointing a gun in the direction of the cruiser.

Arm is straight out, elbow bend, hand level with officer,not up.
Pick6 December 24th, 2014 at 10:34 am
Thanks for pointing that out. Just logged on to revise my first post after seeing an enlarged version of the still with the circle around the person in the distance.

The UK Daily Mail has the video of the teen pulling the gun and pointing it at the cop. Of course even him having a handgun at the age of 18 is a crime, so that means he also didn’t have a carry permit which is another crime. And his mother is reported to be claiming he was shot by the cop while trying to run away, (which should not be a surprise to anyone). All in all this looks like another case for super “injustice” fighter Al Sharpton and it shouldn’t be but a day or two before he books a flight back to Missouri.
raincheck December 24th, 2014 at 9:27 am
Missouri does allow open carry of firearms for those age 18 or older.
“maybe he started to run” She said “MAYBE” Not exactly a “claim” as YOU put it. Why don’t you learn how to ‘comprehend’ what you’re reading? That way you don’t say so many stupid things. Do you just come on here, to be an @sshole, and try to piss people off?… “All in all this looks like another case of” RWNJ stupidity.
Look things up before you post … !!!…

You are wrong, I have responded many times – just ask William, or Old Lefty.
Wayout December 24th, 2014 at 9:10 pm
Open carry? Holding it in your hand and aiming it at someone is not just open carrying. So then, she said “maybe”. Sounds like a claim to me. And I said “reported to be claiming”. So please, time for you to actually read what I was saying.
raincheck December 25th, 2014 at 6:30 am
“Missouri does allow open carry of firearms for those age 18 or older”…
Was in response to you saying..”Of course even him having a handgun at the age of 18 is a crime, so that
means he also didn’t have a carry permit which is another crime” (all lies) You want sooo badly for this Man to be guilty of multiple crimes… you make stuff up, and post it here
Learn how to read you DOLT! Engaging you is a waste of time, you’re pathetic, full of hate, and about as smart as a bag of rocks.. worst of all you’re a liar… Merry Christmas
arc99 December 24th, 2014 at 5:56 pm
In addition to the fact that raincheck points out that it is legal for an 18 year old to have a firearm, according to federal law U.S. Code › Title 10 › Subtitle A › Part I › Chapter 13 › § 311 Militia: composition and classes which you are so fond of citing when it suits your agenda, the deceased was a member of the militia.
You are a liar and a hypocrite. That is not my OPINION. It is documented fact based on the false claims in this and many other posts.
Wayout December 24th, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Look who’s talking. The militia component is one thing, but state laws are another. Twenty one and older to own a handgun and a permit to carry on your person issued by the state is a legal requirement. You just don’t want to admit that what we have here is another 18 year old black kid who is a criminal.
whatthe46 December 24th, 2014 at 10:11 pm
and do you consider the white man in wichita a choir boy? covered face walking around with a rifle in the middle of the day and not so much as an arrest, but a nice visit by the media. you are so pathetic. chances are he’s a criminal. but, that matters not to your racist a&&!
edmeyer_able December 24th, 2014 at 10:49 am
“Officer had body cam but it was not active” maybe they need an activation switch connected to their holster where by they can’t access their gun unless the camera is attached to their vest and is functioning….not—–/s
Denise December 24th, 2014 at 10:52 am
Wonder why these cops don’t shoot dead just as quickly white people who are armed, murder state troopers, and go on the run for seven weeks?
raincheck December 25th, 2014 at 5:11 am
You mean like the guy walking around with his face painted, carrying a rifle, trying to “get people to sign up for some ‘militia’?”
We ALL know what would have happened if he were black… I haven’t heard if a single Cop showed up to question him..
Dolly Knight Hughes December 24th, 2014 at 9:10 pm
“Black Teen Fatally Shot by Cop …blah blah blah”.
This headline, that doesn’t say the kid was armed, is what gets people worked up. Some don’t bother to read the “rest” of the “story” before heading out to destroy.
Media has to be stopped from inciting.

Thanks for your opinions on all of my content.

“It was not racist”
“Troll somewhere else you bitch”
“Go play on the interstate, Troll”

illiterate to comprehend the content. Crawl back under your rock”
You might be right, I don’t see any racism here.. 😉

Carla Akins December 25th, 2014 at 7:16 am
And anyone that bases their opinions on a headline without knowing facts, is an idiot and would hardly make a difference. Headlines are designed to grab attention and there is nothing deceptive in the headline. NOT ALL OF US JUST READ HEADLINES.
raincheck December 25th, 2014 at 12:09 pm
I guess your ‘other’ post was deleted. (Gee… I wonder why) so I’ll try here.
“I love it when people don’t like my comments because they are too illiterate to comprehend the content”
It’s
only your imagination, making you think people don’t like the things
you said, because “they are too illiterate to comprehend the “content” (Or as I
call it, crap) Your imagination is getting in the way of reality.. the
reality of it is, they just don’t like what you said, and from the looks
of things, they don’t care much for YOU either… I wanted to call you a mouth breather… but I won’t. I won’t call you an IDIOT either… That would be rude 😉
Dolly Knight Hughes December 25th, 2014 at 12:11 pm
Right. Thanks for the opinion.
raincheck December 25th, 2014 at 12:17 pm
I really just want to help you out… so which way did you come in?

Ralph December 25th, 2014 at 10:05 am
This is rather abrasive, but this old guy is dying, and his words
really leaves one to focus and reflect.
I
wanted to clear up a few black and white questions and answers. The
things I state are facts. They are not downloaded from some media
website, not propaganda, just observations from a 80 year old black man, born
in America.
I was told
by my parents (yes, a married man and woman with my last name), that I was
nigger. We lived in “Nigger Town” in a small Texas town, no A/C, grass growing through
the floor, no car, no TV. We washed our bodies with lye soap that my
mother made, by hand. I thought I was a nigger, until I graduated high
school, went to college, did an enlistment in the Army, and got a job. I
am now retired, own my own home, have 6 children by ONE WOMAN, and we all have
the same last name. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts, a
Master’s Degree in Sociology. My retirement, VA disability from combat in
the Korean War (I only have one leg), and part-time pay in a local college, is
about $125,000 a year. From dirt poor nigger, to old, black, proud
American.
Yes, I am
black, and I can say “nigger”, because I understand the true meaning of the
word.
Let’s
clear up a few things about the Michael Brown incident.
-Fact:
It is not called “shoplifting or stealing”, it’s called
“robbery”, which is a felony. Brown stole something and
assaulted someone, that means ROBBERY. It’s on video, and it’s a
fact. Not shoplifting, not theft, not “lifting” a few cigars, but
ROBBERY!
-Michael
Brown, like Trayvon, was portrayed by the media as a “little black boy”, cute
little headphones, and his cap and gown photo, gunned down by a ruthless police
assassin, executed by “whitey”. First, I have never seen a cop drag a
person into their car’s driver door to arrest them. So, let us be clear,
Michael Brown was a nigger; a sorry assed, criminal, hoodlum, nigger.
Nobody wants to say that, but I will. He had a criminal record a mile
long, was known for numerous assaults, robberies, including the one you saw
with your own eyes, and still refuse to call it a robbery. He was, like
so many others, living a life that he thought he was “entitled” to, just
for being alive. Gangsta rap, weed, drinking, guns, and those
stupid-assed low profile rims, makes him some kind of bad-ass
nigger.
-I
have fought communist Chinese and North Korean soldiers in the 1950’s with more
honor than that nigger. Yep, I peeled potatoes and shot communists.
That’s the only job a nigger soldier could get.
-Rodney
King? Black Riots!
-Trayvon? Black
Riots!
-Hurricane
Katrina? Black Riots! Stealing TV’s, designer clothes,
etc.
-O.J.
Simpson kills white man and white woman, found NOT GUILTY? Did white
folks riot? Nope!
-In
fact, when is the last time white people rioted? Civil War, maybe?
That’s because they are, relatively, civilized people, much like many black
Americans. Protesting is one thing, hell, I’m all for it. Even if
you are an ignorant idiot, you have a right to protest.
-Stop
only showing the young black “cap and gown” photos of Michael.
Charles Manson may have a few of those laying around, as well. Show the
nigger “gangsta” photos of the “poor unarmed teenager”
(grown man) pics that have been removed from his Facebook page, holding the
loaded pistol, smoking weed, with a mouthful of money.
-Militarization?
The stupid-assed media that publicizes this has no idea what “militarization”
really is. Cops wear helmets and vests, and drive armored vehicle because
unemployed niggers thrown bricks at them, moron! You put on an “Adam
12” uniform and walk down the streets of Ferguson during the criminal riots. I
can guarantee that you’ll jump into the first armored “military tank”
that you see.
-You
only “want the police” when you “need the police”,
otherwise, you mock and fear what you do not understand about the police.
And by the way, the police are trained to take your shit, but I wouldn’t mess
around with those Army National Guard, they aren’t as well disciplined
“culturally” to take your shit like police do every day. They will
ventilate your black asses with M-16’s, with military precision and extreme
prejudice.
-And
finally, the way we protest and demand justice, is run down the streets
breaking shit, looting stores, and acting like a bunch of untrained
monkeys? Hell, after Rodney King, criminal niggers were actually killing
people, thinking they were entitled to be worse criminals than they already
were. For those black criminals that do that, you are a disgrace to your
race, inflamed by idiots like Al Sharpton, instead of listening to logic from
proud black Americans, like Bill Cosby, Samuel Jackson, Colin Powell, Allen
West, me, etc.
-You blame
white people for your ignorance, criminal acts, unemployed laziness, etc.
-You blame
white people for 89% of the prisons in America being full of blacks.
They did nothing wrong, the racists white cops framed them all, right? No
chance at school, no chance for college, military, employment? BULL SHIT!
-More
niggers kill niggers, than niggers killing whites, whites killing niggers, and
whites killing whites….COMBINED. I find this astounding.
-It’s
not white peoples’ faults, the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by a white
man years ago. You can go to school, get a job, buy a house, and vote,
JUST LIKE WHITE FOLKS!!!! You are not a slave, you are not
discriminated against! Slavery is abolished, and nobody alive today, was
alive when it was popular. Get over it! You are discriminated
against because you are a criminal, sorry-assed nigger. Otherwise, black
Americans are treated like everyone else.
-If you
choose to create “baby daddy and baby mama”, and fake disabilities as
an excuse for laziness to draw social security disability…… instead of husband,
wife, family, job, mortgage, it’s YOUR FAULT, not white folks. And there
are a lot of proud black Americans that will tell you the same, as I AM ONE OF
THEM!!!
-Remember,
the way you act on the camera, is remembered by everyone who sees it.
They will never forget it. It shows them how you, as the black race,
responds to situation that don’t particularly go the way you think they
should. It will become a reference standard, something they expect from
you when the next media report doesn’t go your way. Stop being stupid
niggers, and be a proud black American. My parents raised me well, but
they were wrong about one thing, I am not a nigger.
I will
not be around long. While my mind is still sharp, and my aim is still
good, my body is eating away with cancer. It started in the prostate, and
is spreading rapidly. After I die, I have asked my children to
publish my writings, and include my name. Although I am not
expecting any miracles, I can only hope that Americans will stop blaming color,
start blaming criminals, and see people for what they really are. We have
too many countries that want us dead. We should not be fighting each
other.
