I don't see any place where I suggested that. You got a quote? Or is that one of those things "you lefties always do"?



Yo, Rappenfuhrer I know you SUCK , especially at answering follow up questions when challenged.

But are you planning to answer this one?

You seem to be accusing me of suggesting something. I claim that I did not do that, and asked for you to back up the accusation.

You planning to answer this one, or you just hoping it'll go away. ?

Assisting another party with timelime reconstruction of events, and a couple things jumped out at me worth noting.

1. There was an L-RAD deployed, dunno if they used it though, we're having some technical difficulties with the telepresence rig at the moment.
Update: Confirmed, it was used.

2. At one point when the crowd was "peaceful", a local police cruiser rolled up at speed from the side, dismounted four officers who then emptied the shotguns they were carrying (rubber bullets) at the protestors, jumped back in and drove away.
That smacks of deliberate provocation, and Jamie is going through the available photos to see what can be found.

3. One hour BEFORE the curfew, the cops set up barricades to block retreat and *then* teargassed the protestors, yeah that ain't helpin matters any.

4. Analysis of radio comm traffic indicates internal conflict between state police trying to chill the situation, and ferguson police intent on winding it up as an excuse to "kick some asses".
Update: Some of this radio traffic is quite frankly, downright incriminating, and will be passed on to USDOJ.

5. The so-called molotovs thrown at police were in most cases, protestors throwing the cops own tear gas rounds BACK at them, which is bloody obvious to anyone with half a brain (which obviously excludes Breitbart) upon viewing the pictures.

6. Deliberate targeting of journalists by both police factions, in one case on express orders of state police captain.

More to come maybe, if we can sort out what the hell is wrong with the TP rig and find someone brave enough to step out into that mess with it deployed.

Le'see here. "Militarized policing" didn't work, so the Missouri Highway Patrol took over, commanded by a black guy, with a softer approach. That didn't work out either. SO now they've called out the flat-out military.

" Well, goddammit, Bubba, we ain't shot down ANY of them "BLACK community FOLKS" (We usedta call 'em somethin' diff'rent, back in the Good Old Days.) yet fer riotin' in the streets. Just one fer walkin' in it. When we gonna? Huh? Huh?"
"Purty quick now, Cletus. Maybe we oughtta reactivate thuh Klan-- that kep' them uppity troublemakers under control fer quite a spell."
"Dam' straight, Bubbba. Thass whhut the 'Mperial Grand Dragon Wizzard sez."




Here.

Citing stereotypical hayseed bumpkins Cletus & Bubba and then the kkk reference pretty much says it all.

What, you expected him not to be a chickenshit coward?

Classic storybook FAIL.

I addressed the question, 2 replies above, and you STILL were such a d-bag , you went ahead and tried to claim I didn't by calling me a coward.

Be a man and apologize for being wrong.

Again.

And another thing...

No one is suggesting that even with young Michael having roughed up the store clerk and stealing $ 50.00 worth of cheap cigars did he DESERVED to die.

There still is the matter of what exactly took place when he encountered the cop.

The cop didn't know M.B. was a suspect, but because M.B. had just committed a strong arm robbery, he likely DID assume the cop was coming after him.

So far, the claims that the cop shot M.B. in the back have proven false. Makes one wonder what ELSE some have claimed took place didn't happen either.

That STILL does not clear the cop of being accused of 2nd degree murder, or what ever the charge he gets. And yes, I do expect something to happen to the cop, as the case proceeds.

Whether a hardened criminal or a choir boy, I still haven't seen evidence which justifies M.B. being on the receiving end of 6 + shots fired by the cop.

WAS he trying to wrestle the gun away from the officer ? IF that's found to be the case, then sadly , it may be the tragic conclusion of some really poor judgements made by a young man that day, resulting in his death.

Tox results still have to come in too, so folks need to chill the hell out and back off before they start making more baseless accusations.

All the witnesses said the cop shot him in the back. How is it all the witness saw him shot in the back?

The bullet that killed Mr. Brown entered the top of his head and came out through the front at an angle that suggested his head was facing downward when he was killed, Mr. Parks said. What the autopsy did not show was what Mr. Brown was doing at the moment he was struck in the head.

“Why would he be shot in the very top of his head, a 6-foot-4 man?” he said. “It makes no sense. And so that’s what we have. That’s why we believe that those two things alone are ample for this officer to be arrested.”

Another outstanding question was whether Mr. Brown was struck as he ran away from the police officer. Prof. Shawn L. Parcells, a pathologist assistant based in Kansas who assisted Dr. Baden, said that one of the wounds on Mr. Brown’s arm could have been caused by a bullet fired from in front or behind.
