Seraph, the mentally disabled guy probably had more cause to get shot. He had a spoon, it was metal, the sun was reflecting off it.
Michael Brown had... What?
6 foot 4 and outweighing the officer by about 100 pounds, and in this case, advancing against a police officer.
If you do THAT - whether you are white or black or an alien from the next galaxy over, armed or unarmed - it's within the power of a police officer to use deadly force to stop you if he/she feels threatened enough.

Legal deference to police determinations of what is —reasonable?? (force), (which) —must embody allowance for the fact that police officers are often forced to make split-second judgments - in circumstances that are tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving - about the amount of force that is necessary in a particular situation.??click to expand

Seraph, I understand you. You're just a little too acute, myopic in your views.

Seraph, I understand you. You're just a little too acute, myopic in your views.
IE canadian white man POV. Which is clueless totally about happenings in this country in RE to the black community.
The jury ruled a certain way, and it's easy to see why they did.
And in terms of the verdict and what we know, for every racial explanation you can think of, there's an equally reasonable explanation provided for by law.
It's actually pretty easy to put both Brown and Wilson in a scenario that would support the verdict.click to expand

Seraph has a good point. It doesn't matter if he was white, black, hispanic, or any race.
If its the people of the country united together vs. the unjust law system that's one thing.
If its blacks vs. whites then they have you completely fooled.
The KKK and the whites caping for Darren Wilson .... White people the ones fooled but as long as white supremacy is protected and they get to sleep well at night they dont care.
All I see is the law and probability "caping" for Darren Wilson.
It doesn't matter who is on which side. Though you're free to sensationalize it and relate it (wrongly) to every other police shooting of a non-white individual.
So you can have your e-riot.
Don't burn down your internet connection.
Rationalizing away situations like this is pussy behavior.click to expand

@Seraph:
Your views are slanted, I'm afraid. As you are aware(I hope), there is the law and then there is the reality of jurisprudence. The theory and the actual practice. While the evidence shows that Mr. Wilson had probable cause to shoot Mr. Brown, that is the evidence as presented. So I'll raise you a mountain of evidence that points in the other direction.
There's a popular saying in the legal community here in the states. "A determined D.A. can indict a ham sandwich if he/she chooses." This points to the fact that District Attorney's have complete control and discretion of indictments AND the grand jury. That is the reality. If he/she suggests that they want someone to face prosecution, the Grand Jury is going to accommodate. They can present the evidence they see fit to secure it...or not. No judge is present for oversight.
You mention facts. Ok, here's one. There's no official police report from Mr. Wilson. Missouri law, along with most states, require an official report. While some may say he has the right to not incriminate himself...he's wasn't under arrest or investigation for misconduct and that report is required. So something's missing from the picture. Next, the police chief said that Mr. Brown was shot 35 feet away and died 153 feet away(the length of half a football field) from the start point of the altercation. So, where was the imminent danger? I agree that it was present at the beginning but at some point Mr. Brown turned and ran in the other direction. While the evidence, as presented(remember) suggests that Mr Brown was the aggressor, it also makes perfect sense that once he disengaged and turned away, Mr Wilson then is the aggressor and most likely out of anger not fear. But we won't get to here that presented in court. Mr.Wison had his rights protected as someone under investigation(not accused as in officially charged) but not Mr.Brown. He has no rights...he's dead.
What tragic is the attempt to disassociate the actual impact of an event from the law itself. We here "while it's tragic that it hapoened" as if one thing has nothing to do with the other. That's goes to the reality of practice. Yes, the law allows for deadly force but gives the officer the power of judge, jury, and executioner. At that point, your placing his rights over someone else's. That's not equal and why people are pissed and to dismiss that

The son of a whore got off. ERGG!GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! AGHHHHH!!
Why are you angry?
Under Missouri law, a police officer is allowed to discharge his firearm (also meaning, use of deadly force, among other reasons) under certain conditions - among which is threat of bodily harm to the police officer.
Looks like that's exactly what happened. Some of the known evidence (mentioned in the other thread) supports this scenario easily.
Additionally, not quite related but worth mentioning re: the attacker's state of mind at the time, he had just finished robbing a convenience store and physically assaulting the shopkeep. This is a fact.
It isn't at all beyond the realm of likelihood that Wilson was perfectly justified in using deadly force.
All the rioting (assuming there *will* be rioting) would be a complete waste, not to mention completely unjustified.click to expand

That's why white boys become cops. They can flex their little pink penises against unarmed black kids. They can't compete in the white collar fields or skilled blue collar fields because they're too stupid. But theyre still white so they're well off enough to live outside of a poor black area. They may live in a poor white area.
In the same tact, I can't abide by a scathing indictment of "white boys" not being able to "compete" or their level of intelligence. I know you don't need it or require my aid but regardless you are on you're own for that one.click to expand

Alleged shoplifting isn't a Felony Seraph
Aggravated Robbery.
Robbery + assaulting the shopkeep.click to expand

You got white people running around with guns, hanging out at walmart with guns, but black people can't even play with toy guns, before they're gunned down.
seraph i need you go choke on a fat dick, and stfu.
seriously you will never get it you mosad prick.
Did Michael Brown "get" that it's probably a bad idea to commit aggravated robbery and, shortly thereafter, to assault a police officer?
Seems the only person involved who didn't "get" stuff was the guy who got himself shot because of his poor decisions.click to expand

Except for a few posts (thanks Seraph), this thread is full of a lot of bile.
I've watched the news prior to the grand jury decision and listened to the rabble trousers with the subtext of "facts be damned, indict or we''ll riot".
The intention was to riot and loot anyway, IMHO.
We'll never get the straight answer, but it would be interesting to see how many of the rioters/looters are actually FROM Ferguson.
And the media a**hats are just as bad, helping fan the flames. There is a special place in Hell for those mother****ers.
Hey, but at least some of the people got some early Christmas shopping done via the five finger discount.
Way to "stick it to the man", dumba**es. There is a good likelihood that a number of those businesses were minority owned. What sane person would reopen in that area? (Think Watts, or Detroit).

dark fire, I disagree. Most white women, men and young adults are very racist, racist views, racist form of superiority. Sure, white people are fake nice, fake smile in your face, but the thoughts behind the individual are insidious. You can tell by the way they look and stare at you. This is the experience of millions of black and brown people. Go to yahoo website and read the comments. White people don't like to own their racism. Racism goes beyond calling black people ni**ers. The foundation for all this chaos is fear and hatred.

Yep, Then they see you the next day at work, or school and be like "hiiiiiiiii _—_—_—_—"
