Hey guys, I was wondering if there were any video links to the Ferguson Police Chief stating that Mike Brown was indeed shot 35 feet away? My father will only believe the police chief and the police chief only and it is frustrating the hell out of me.

Is there a reason Wilson isn't in custody until the FBIs investigation is over? Couldn't he likely be going into hiding from the law if he is charged for murder?

You do know that the whole "paid administrative leave" is essentially house arrest right? I know gaf likes to get outraged and maybe thinks the cop is on a Caribbean cruise getting a tan while the investigation is ongoing or something like that but it really isn't the case.

Its so terrible, things actually were taking a turn for the better, and then the PD had the bright idea of stirring up shit with the release of that video.

It really is a shame, but I think at this point it's pretty obvious the PD is trying to obfuscate the issue to protect their own asses. Why else release that video against the wishes of the federal investigators/DoJ/Governor?

The fact that an international watch dog group is actually stepping foot on US soil in this day and age to monitor the situation should be a national embarrassment for all.

I'm sure most will go on victim blaming however. I've lost a lot more friends and former fellow graduates from high school in the past few days then I thought I would over this.

He left his house, apparently.
 
Hey, leave Megi alone, I remember his noble pursuit for finding the truth about Zimmerman and Martin, even if that means not being fooled by something as innocent as a bag of skittles:

You're still assuming that Zimmerman initiated the confrontation.

The 911 dispatcher said they didn't need him to follow, he said "ok."

IF Trayvon came back and confronted Zimmerman who at that point was retreating, assaulted him, and then the struggle ensued, then that changed the dynamics of self-defense.

I think you all are missing the point during the struggle. Nobody ever said that Zimmerman's injuries were the reason he feared for his life. If there was a fight and Martin then discovered that Zimmerman was armed, they probably at that point struggled for the gun. Then both parties had every right to fear for their life at that point. At that point, if Trayvon hadn't been shot, Zimmerman probably would have. I don't think Trayvon intended to kill him at first, but when he saw the gun, he probably did feel like he had to use lethal force. It's a complicated and sad situation if true.

Go ahead and call me a contrarian all you want, I still think a lot of you guys are choosing not to think the situation all the way through because you want so badly to hate Zimmerman. I get that, a kid is dead and he should not be. But most of you guys aren't objective, so just admit it. Most people here made up thier minds long ago as soon as they heard the word Skittles and can't wait to find any possible hole in Z's story and are not viewing all the media articles and reports with adequate skepticism.

As for the security tapes, I agree that he doesn't looks like road pizza. In certain frames, I can see what looks like he may have a black eye and a broken nose. Nothing visible on his head. It is blurry though and doesn't tell you how long after the altercation this was. Did he change his clothes? Did he get cleaned up? I dunno. Still doesn't negate the aforementioned scenario about struggling for a gun.

So I expect to be called names for this, whatever. I'm a murderer defender blah blah blah. Actually, I don't think Zimmerman should have ever got out of his car. He acted irresponsibly. Doesn't prove that he stalked and chased and murdered anyone.

I just can't help but interject when I see such a one-sided discussion blinded by (understandable) emotion egged on by bad media reporting and involving a lack of all the facts.

He is an objective man of great integrity just wanting to ask questions, unlike you people overly invested in the bag of skittles, he is so willing to fight for leveling up the field on search of the truth that he was willing to fund Zimmerman's defense:

I believe Zimmerman is telling the truth. When his site goes up, I may donate to his defense. I feel bad for him.

TBH, trying to visualize him charging at the cops and getting shot in those particular places sounds like quite a stretch, especially when the shots most likely connected at mid-rane.

Well that's great that his whereabouts are known to the necceary people, I don't think it's too much for him to be locked up until the investigation is over. It would go a long way to calming down some of the tensions in Ferguson.

The family requested a private autopsy and the results were released today, All the shots were from the front. He was shot 6 times, 4 times in the R arm and twice in the head.

Actually the entry wounds on his hand and forearm either/both could have easily occurred while he was running away. That article is pretty ambiguous. I have a feeling Baden may have said all four wound were to the anterior of the deceased arm which the press inferred, possibly incorrectly, to mean he was not shot from behind.

Truly heartwarming.
 
I'll ask again, was Wilson hurt or anything? In my continuing debates with my dad over this, one of his main points is that Wilson had injuries so he probably fired in self defense to protect himself. Since you know, adrenaline, fighting for your life, etc., etc.
 
Is there any mobile-friendly link to a livestream? I haven't been able to see Tim's stream on mobile because it keeps refusing to stream more than 5 seconds at a time.

Wait, so was Wilson injured or not?

Yes, he was apparently treated at the hospital. No, we do not know the extent of his injuries, outside of a swollen face.

Johnson statement includes a struggle at the vehicle, so Wilson may have been hurt.

With the chants of angry protestors audible in the background, St. Louis County police chief Jon Belmar told reporters that the 18-year-old shot by a Ferguson police officer Saturday, had struggled with the officer over his sidearm.

Belmar says after the officer got out of the car, he shot Michael Brown about 35 feet from the vehicle.

A random incomplete list on Wikipedia. "Plenty" is relative. Your image isn't the norm


http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_Germany
Click to expand...

In the past seven days, US police officers have shot and killed at least 6 unarmed (black) men.

In all of 2012, German police shot and killed 6, at least 2 of whom were armed, based off that link.

What was your point again?


Bonus: Looks like every time the shooter (police officer) was charged.
 
Enron said:
I think that question would be better posed to the person who posted that stupid picture as an example of a non-lethal way to stop someone.

You can die just as easily from a shot to your leg as you can from a shot to your center mass.

People all the time say "why not just aim at x", as if it were easy and was also guaranteed to be non-letha.
Click to expand...

I think you're missing the point. After the first shot most people would presumably be either incapacitated or dead. Someone fires 12 shots they're not aiming to incapacitate.

Being shot in the torso is more life-threatening than being shot in the leg. I assume being shot in the arm is even less life threatening, but that also means you're not firing down and there's a chance you could shoot a bystander.

So, I only found this video but he never states that Brown was shot 35 feet away directly, even though pretty much every single piece of evidence points to this my dad will not believe "the media" unless it's on video. Anyone got anything more conclusive?

That or he was shot as he was falling down from the other shots. It does sound like the cop went trigger happy.

CNN is all over the place, first the one guy is saying the protestors have weapons now they are kind of questioning their own people. The producer or whoever he is, is saying they weren't shooting at cops.

The list notes that it's incomplete, if you think they haven't killed someone in two years you are off your rocker.

My point was that you posted a shitty meme image and the world doesn't work like a single encounter. (This has nothing to do with this thread, just your image implying that all they have to do is aim lower)


Bonus? There is one instance where they faced any penalty.

ALSO! Mike was a tall guy. yeah, the wound might have been from a charge. But Mike would have to get down real low. To run, he'd basically be crouch running towards a guy with a gun? This shit has gotten so god damn ridiculous.

I dunno, I'm looking at world politics from some of the better European countries and thinking "Well shit, kinda wish I was born over there and not in the land of the free and shittily oppressed."
