Calm down guys. I'm just saying you have this officer guilty until proven innocent.

Edit: I'm done here. I don't wanna get banned for going against what everyone else thinks.

People tend to based their opinions on the facts available at the time. Until there is a fact that indicates this cop was justified in shooting an unarmed man to death the whole "We just don't know!" tripe really falls flat. Especially as more information is released that basically says "Yea, dude was unarmed and got gunned down..."
 
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)

No, were talking about 2012, when the data is from. As I posted above, we know for a fact that German police killed 6 in 2012. In your link,w e have details on 3.

The point of the image was someone stating that aiming lower was a) impossible and b) should never be attempted.

And yet just 2 months ago, German police successfully deescalated a situation where a man had a machete and a sword by doing just that.
 
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."

Well shit, of course it's much better. I'm not arguing that.

Anyway, it's semi off topic and I don't want to be taken out of context by anyone thinking what I'm talking about is relative to this instance.
 
One of the best things to come out of this thread are all the people who have skated under the radar with their covert racist foolishness getting banned.

It gives me life!
 
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.
your dads a asshole, just stop talking to him about this case because he already chose who he would side with before this incident even happened
 
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:

[/URL]



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:



Megidolaon, please, fight the good fight, for George, for Darren, for
staten-island-chokehold-victim-death-ruled-a-homicide
. Semper Fi.

God Damn lol. Its always the ones who wanna be the "devil's advocate" isn't it?

The city of Ferguson's statement comes the same day that more details regarding the confrontation that led to Brown's death were revealed. According to CNN affiliate KMOV, the officer involved in the shooting had been "hit" by Brown and the "side of his face was swollen," according to the city's police chief.

I'm done.

Being fair, many countries in Europe has also racial tensions. Reading last week about Greek farmer killing his immigrant hired help because they protested too much.
 
Is the autopsy report stating that or is King inferring that?

It's an inference. The autopsy doesn't say that - the guy who performed it said only that the bullet entered the top of Brown's head (and it wasn't at close range), and refused to make a judgement on which scenario was most likely.


(Also...whoa at that post wanting to donate to Zimmerman. *_*)
 
Well, if that happens, I think what we have seen thus far in Ferguson will look tame. I'm imagining a Rodney King level of angry riots. I hope I'm wrong.

Absolutely. And not just in Ferguson.

If no charges are brought, there will be protests in many cities. And if the police meet those protests in military gear, then it will escalate.

Can they be so foolish to incite more rioting?
 
The latter.

So King inferred that Brown may have been shot execution style from the back of the head?

That's unfair to the audience. Granted I only write about games, but that's a really dangerous thing to say without anything to back up that inference.
 
Even as a fervent proponent of the Freedom of Information Act the whole thing just seems slimey and underhanded as shit. What they've done leaves a really bad aftertaste in my mouth.

The inconsistency in their transparency makes it look bad to me too. They aren't nearly as open about everything as they could be, and awfully open when it is helpful for their team members.

A cold comfort, for the most part. I never see them get to the point where, even by their own skewed/racist/nonexistent logic, they can no longer make any argument whatsoever. Once that happens, then I'd be fine with them being banned. Otherwise I just know they're now spreading their idiocy elsewhere, and still buying into it.

There's commonality between Megi and others and we recognize it well. It happens like clockwork, as if one just never observes.

Dat internet justice and all, but I have serious doubts about justice being done here in Ferguson. Hell we had another black man on fucking video tape not too long ago being choked to death and what happened to that officer? He got reassignment duty and a suspension, followed by bullshit promises from mouth pieces.

I'm just really pessimistic about the whole thing.

Goddamn, I just looked this up. This topic deserved it's own thread. And the farmer who did it was ACQUITTED.
 
@ShaunKing:New Details :: Autopsy shows headshot went in top of Mike Brown's head & came out his chin as if standing over victim. Done from 1-2 feet.

Really? This is murder.

How good is this guy's sources?

If i remember correctly earlier in the tread the autopsy report stated that there were no signs of gun residue on the victim so it couldn't of been close range.
 
So King inferred that Brown may have been shot execution style from the back of the head?

That's unfair to the audience. Granted I only write about games.

Well, from the front of the head. Either that or Michael Brown was falling forward as the last shot hit.

I don't know what other scenarios are possible.
 
It's obvious that these protests aren't going to resolve anything. This needs to spread to get more attention to the issue of racism, brutality and police militarization. And no the September 8th thing doesn't count.
 
Law enforcement is too prepared for the worst to happen.
So you want the terrorists and drug pushers and sex offenders and cigar thieves to just run wild in the streets?

There's a war on cops going on.

What a disgrace. Thanks this so called "Uniter of a President" and his administration, along with his crony media sensationalists. They are the real blame for this mess. God, please make the people of this country wake up.

All you have to do is look at history and how the Nazis seized control. There were riots like these supported by the Nazi regime.

I base this on history and Holocaust survivor. I spoke with a Holocaust survivor who told me what she sees what's happening now is exactly how the bad things in Germany started when she was a child. I will believe the words of a lady who suffered horrible and in humane treatment for years and saw her family murdered before I would believe the media and this current administration. I hope she and I are wrong but everything is upside down. I just can't believe what has happened to our country in the last six years.

That POS wasn't worth the price of the bullet that killed him. The black community as a whole has doomed itself by nurturing it's own ignorance. For the most part, the community has wasted the freedoms their ancestors fought for, what a shame. They'll be their own destruction and are simply too ignorant to realize it.

I think that the "community" and the "media" are doing a great job of making the POLICE look like the bad guy !!!! It's sickening that the focus of all this is on what the officer did, but not on what the officer faced at the moment of the encounter with robbery suspect or the uncooperative subject !!! SICKENING !!! People need to do more ride alongs, so that they can see what we have to deal with on a daily basis and then have to come home to our family and pretend that not in anyway stressed out by the behavior of other human beings !!!
Stay Safe All !!!
