Wait and see. Please be patient and let peace come back to NeoGAF.
And with that, LOL.
Says several news sources, posts ONE that is banned no less, has to "dig up" others.
smh
Gives benefit of the doubt, says to wait for all evidence, gives money to the guy that killed an unarmed 18 year old, but nothing to the dead kid.
"likely a frequent criminal"
Calls out conjecture, does a bunch of speculation, pure hypocrisy.
Your posts are lacking logic and credibility. No further time should be wasted on your "contributions".

crossing my fingers for a gatewaypundit link.
I usually try and wait, be neutral, play Devil's Advocate, and see what happens. Leaps to judgement without all the info and judging too early is always dangerous.
And yet, for this, with everything that's happened, I can only come to two conclusions.
The Officer straight up raged after the scuffle and shot him dead as he tried to run away
and / or
The Ferguson PD is completely incompetent.
And with everything that has since happened and was livestreamed, it feels like both are pretty likely at this point.

So you only have one source and it's the Daily mail? Why don't you have your other sources readily available?

Daily Mail is banned for the frequency at which they report absolute bullshit. So rather than just refuting them each time an article is posted or cited here, the whole site is just blacklisted to speed up the process.

About you "not really sure what the truth is" but donating your money to the cop anyway? Nah...I think that speaks for itself.
The guy hasn't even came out and given his account of the situation. So exactly why are people donating money for his defense? What if he comes out tomorrow and says that he shot Mike Brown because he was black? There will be at least a half dozen people who have donated that will have egg on their face if that happens.

Is Johnson the same guy in the store video footage who when given an opportunity to be a theif, put the cigars back on the register and walked out?
I think it's ok being skeptical of Johnson's account, not because of any incident years ago, but because he was a friend of Brown. As long as you give the same or less credence to the accused officer's account. The thing is, there are a number of other witnesses as well, and you can't discredit them in the same way, as they're neutral observers. There's no reason to call Johnson the "star witness" as if the entire case rests upon him.

The Dorian Johnson convicted of lying to the police is not a new story nor is that story contained only in questionable news sources.
Here is the St. Louis paper with this info referring to it as a conviction:

There doesn't seem to be an abundance of public information on the incident. :

White cop is part of a police force with so many racial and corruption problems that it is disbanded=hey guys let's give him the benefit of the doubt I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation
Black kid was accused of a crime 3 years ago=he's a thug we can't trust anything he says

So, about those sources? I mean it's an hour later since you said you'd find another source. Is it taking that long?
i think breitbart .com is down in some regions
We already know how this goes.
He had to attend to something that needed his attention because the thing that needed to be attended to needed attention. However a list of sources that he had at his fingertips but needed to dig up will be provided after a cursory search of the internet and some questionable facebook feeds.
The above is pure conjecture

If it's the Johnson charged and convicted with lying to police, see my link above from the St. Louis paper. If it's something else, then he's on his own.

As an example of how things "work" differently from country to country, here's how we handle home invasions in Canada.
He came. He saw. And he wasn't even charged?

Well, these last few pages were sure interesting.
The most annoying thing about it is how he first attempted to approach with the angle of him being neutral and by donating he is only showing how neutral on the issue he is (what?). When called on that he moved more firmly into defense territory completely abandoning his faux neutrality. My favorite part is when he tries to pretend the establishment itself and this cop that's literally a part of the power structure is just some little David up against the big bad Goliath.

That's an interesting article especially since more and more departments require some college if not a bachelors degree+. Some even give "points" on the hiring eligibility list for degrees.
That's not to say that in some departments a GED/high school diploma isn't enough though, because those certainly exist too.

They don't want dumb people, they just don't want the smartest (according to the article). My only possible explanation could be that people with the highest IQs might question orders more. Are be more individualistic with less of that "team mentality".
I am talking out of my ass, of course.

It's kind of a bullshit article title because they're generalizing all police forces but then only give two examples of this happening.

It certainly makes sense, although you have to be able think for yourself quite a bit in that line of work, most of the time everything is "on your own" and discretion/critical thinking is paramount. I can see over intelligence leading to more questioning of orders though, although that's not to say a very intelligent person is incapable of following orders.
Problem with the article is that is assumes all/most departments do this and there is no SOP across police departments. Hell, there's barely an SOP throughout federal agencies.
