Talk about divisive.

[TS FAN]

Once again the political slime on the left rears its lying radical head. The fake Indian squaw and the Harris idiot were out touting the Michael Brown five year anniversary of a white cop gunning him down. In their words (Murdered by a White Cop) They are going to put a halt to such racism. Yep, MORONS. This trash cannot be let anywhere near the White House

[Barbecueboy]

They won't be.....don't worry.

Despite what the dems are promoting , America really isn't that dumb.

Police should probably stop shooting unarmed people in the back.

[Barbecueboy]

Guys with guns should probably stop running away from them when they've supposedly done nothing wrong.

[TS FAN]

the left, the media are moving us into destruction. Police our now being harassed by citizens and cannot retaliate. When Police are no longer able to uphold the law, then the left will be satisfied.
Back to the subject, fat Michael was not shot in the back, and was not a victim of anything. Disgusting lying Dem candidate scum pushing the racial hate.

What does that have to do with this thread? Michael Brown was drugged up fat thug that tried to take a police officer gun and shoot him. PROVEN!!!

[castone]

Brown was a piece of scum, he had just stole from a store, and was so dumb to walk down the middle of the road instead of walking on the side walk, now for anyone that don't obey cops orders and want to fight them or take off running or disrespect the law in anyway deserve what they get, and that goes for throwing objects at police anytime !

[mcarter815]

Running away isn't adequate cause for a cop to shoot someone.

You better get your facts straight. Geesh!!! Running away? What world are you living in? BTW it ruined a good cop's life when he did nothing but his job.

[mcarter815]

So they can attempt murder with no consequences????

Yeah, it's called prison time.

There you can read about the DNA evidence and officier Wilsons account of the incident. But the part ui find most interesting is the accounts of witnesses.

Numerous witness accounts were consistent with Wilson's account and also agreed with the physical evidence at hand. Many witnesses corroborated that Wilson acted in self-defense during the event. A number of the witnesses who corroborated Wilson's account of events expressed fear and apprehension in testifying, saying they had been harassed or threatened by individuals from the Ferguson community

Witness 102 was a 27-year-old biracial male. He said he saw Wilson chase Brown until Brown abruptly turned around. Brown did not put his hands up in surrender but made some type of movement similar to pulling his pants up or a shoulder shrug and then made a full charge at Wilson. Witness 102 thought Wilson's life was threatened and he only fired shots when Brown was coming toward him.

After the shooting Witness 102 remained in the neighborhood for a short period of time, and corrected a couple of people who claimed Wilson "stood over Brown and shot while [he was] on the ground". In response, Witness 102 said Wilson shot Brown because Brown came back toward Wilson. Witness 102 "kept thinking" Wilson's shots were "missing" Brown because Brown kept moving. Witness 102 did not stay in the neighborhood for long, and left the area shortly afterward because he felt uncomfortable. According to the witness, "crowds of people had begun to gather, wrongly claiming the police shot Brown for no reason and that he had his hands up in surrender". Two black women approached Witness 102, mobile phones set to record, asking him to recount what he had witnessed. Witness 102 responded that they would not like what he had to say. The women responded with racial slurs, calling him names like 'white motherf_cker'.

Witness 103, a 58-year-old black male, testified that from his parked truck he saw "Brown punching Wilson at least three times in the facial area, through the open driver's window of the SUV... Wilson and Brown had hold of each other's shirts, but Brown was 'getting in a couple of blows on Wilson'." Wilson was leaning back toward the passenger seat with his forearm up, in an effort to block the blows. Then Witness 103 heard a gunshot and Brown took off running. Wilson exited the SUV, appeared to be using his shoulder microphone to call into his radio, and chased Brown with his gun held low ... Brown came to a stop near a car, put his hand down on the car, and turned around to face Wilson. Brown's hands were then down at his sides. Witness 103 did not see Brown's hands up. Wanting to leave, Witness 103 began to turn his car around in the opposite direction that Brown had been running when he heard additional shots. Witness 103 turned to his right, and saw Brown "moving fast" toward Wilson. Witness 103 then drove away

Witness 104, a 26-year-old biracial female, witnessed the end of the altercation from a minivan:

Witness 104 saw Brown run from the SUV, followed by Wilson, who "hopped" out of the SUV and ran after him while yelling "stop, stop, stop". Wilson did not fire his gun as Brown ran from him. Brown then turned around and "for a second" began to raise his hands as though he may have considered surrendering, but then quickly "balled up in fists" in a running position and "charged" at Wilson. Witness 104 described it as a "tackle run", explaining Brown "wasn't going to stop". Wilson fired his gun only as Brown charged at him, backing up as Brown came toward him. Witness 104 explained there were three separate volleys of shots. Each time, Brown ran toward Wilson, Wilson fired, Brown paused, Wilson stopped firing, and then Brown charged again. The pattern continued until Brown fell to the ground, "smashing" his face upon impact. Wilson did not fire while Brown momentarily had his hands up. Witness 104 explained it took some time for Wilson to fire, adding that she "would have fired sooner". Wilson did not go near Brown's body after Brown fell to his death.

Witness 108, a 74-year-old black male, told detectives the police officer was "in the right" and "did what he had to do", and that statements made by people in the apartment complex about Brown surrendering were inaccurate. Witness 108 later told investigators he "would have (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ing shot that boy, too", and mimicked the aggressive stance Brown made while charging Wilson. He explained Wilson told Brown to "stop" or "get down" at least ten times, but instead Brown "charged" at Wilson. Witness 108 also told detectives there were other witnesses on Canfield Drive who saw what he saw.

Witness 109, a 53-year-old black male, said he decided to come forward after seeing Dorian Johnson "lie" about the events on television. He said when Wilson asked the two boys to get out of the street, Brown responded something to the effect of "(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) the police." Afterward, Wilson got out of his car and Brown hit him in the face. Witness 109 said he saw Wilson reach for his taser but dropped it and then grabbed a gun, after which Brown grabbed for Wilson's gun. According to 109, at one point Brown ran away from Wilson, but turned around and charged toward the officer. He said Wilson fired in self-defense, and did not appear to be shooting to kill at first

Witness 113, a 31-year-old black female, made statements that corroborated Wilson's account. She said she was afraid of the "neighborhood backlash" that might come from her testimony, and feared offering an account contrary to the narrative reported by the media that Brown held his hands up in surrender. She also told investigators she thought Wilson's life was in danger.

Witness 136 was in his apartment using a video chat application on his mobile phone while the shooting occurred. After hearing the first few shots, he recorded the remainder of his chat on his phone and turned it over to the FBI. The recording is about 12 seconds long and captured a total of 10 gunshots. The gunshots begin after the first four seconds. The recording captured six gunshots in two seconds. After a three-second pause, a seventh gunshot is heard. A pause of less than one second gave way to the final three-shot volley within two seconds. The recording was not time-stamped. As detailed below, this recording is consistent with several credible witness accounts as well as Wilson's account, that he fired several volleys of shots, briefly pausing between each one.

And the witness against Wilsons acount are interesting as well for other reasons.

Several witnesses who originally testified against Wilson were also interviewed by the prosecution. They admitted to lying under oath as to the truthfulness of their testimony. At least one witness took an account from a newspaper; this witness was later discredited by investigators during the process.

Prosecutors also played the grand jury a 10-minute police interview with a man who claimed to have witnessed the shooting. They then played a phone call in which that man admitted he actually had not seen the incident at all. Another witness insisted another officer was with Wilson at the time of the shooting. (By all other accounts, Wilson was the only officer present when he shot Brown). This witness described having a clear view of what transpired despite there being a building between the witness' location and where the incident took place.

Witness 35 said Brown was "on his knees" when Wilson shot him in the head. Under questioning, his testimony fell apart, and he admitted fabricating it.

There were 3 autopsies performed and they all supported the police officiers acount. They also found this.

A toxicology test performed by a St. Louis University laboratory revealed the presence of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, in Brown's blood and urine. The presence of THC indicates Brown had used marijuana within a few hours of his death,

Most people don't doubt there are some "bad cops" who may abuse their power and do things they should not. However, the Michael Brown shooting was NOT a case of that. If you really look at the evidence and dig deeper than the hype, buzzwords, and race baiting, it becomes infinitely clear this guys was a thug, who tried to attack a police officer and steal his weapon. Of course it sad anyone has to die, but this guys death was clearly by his own actions and the officer was completely justified. If anything, he probably should have shot him sooner.

This just goes to show you how the truth can get twisted, manipulated, and distorted for the purpose of furthering a political agenda. As Joe Biden said a few days ago "we prefer Truth to facts." Clearly some people have a "truth' that's disjointed with facts and reality!

Police should probably stop shooting unarmed people in the back.

you can't Piossibly be that ignorant can you ?

[ZERO25]

Running away isn't adequate cause for a cop to shoot someone.

Tell that to the cops spouse and kids......if the criminals don't obey the cops commands, they have given up their rights to be unharmed!

[dirtMAN007]

So the cop is supposed to say don't take my gun and let's go to jail. And Mr. Brown would have just got right in the back seat. Oh yeah!!!!

Just too bad you weren't there with your bucket of water!!!!!

mcfarter believes that no one ............................ not even criminals and illegals would possiby l possess a gun in a gun free zone !!!!!! he thinks all these murders in chitcago are being crried out with a FINGER gun !

[Barbecueboy]

Tell that to the cops spouse and kids......if the criminals don't obey the cops commands, they have given up their rights to be unharmed!

The officer should know right from wrong almost every time and most do.......almost every single time a criminal is a criminal.

I'm ok with shooting a fleeing criminal you know to have a weapon.
