What question was that? If you mean about cops not being accountable I never said that. If you are talking about listening to cops when they say do something. It is the law, they are the law. If they make a mistake get a lawyer or file a complaint but do not become combative.

On Saturday, Michael Brown, 18, was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis. The Ferguson Police Department has asserted that Brown assaulted the officer, whose name has not yet been released. Eyewitnesses, however, have disputed that claim and said Brown was killed while attempting to surrender or flee.

Funny thing is that if the police account is true, then the cop who shot him is a hero and why wouldn't they release his name? After all he did attack a police officer with his bare hands, in a moving vehicle with an armed officer of the "law."

Shot him multiple times, and even shot him in the back, according to witness accounts.


SGG




Maybe getting over the 300 post hump made me have to at least click on this link....

It's very sad. I do believe that Rappy is right and an autopsy will make the right conclusions if it's all done properly.... and I hope to God that given how prevalent this case seems to be to the public that it is all done by the book for everyone involved.

I'm really hoping that the answer lies somewhere in the fringes and that either the Cops were right and the kid was a Murderous Leech on society or that the local police station there conspired to kill this kid hoping that their shields would.... well... shield them from any blowback....

Chances are, the truth lies somwhere in the middle and this story, no matter how sad it is, is just another one that I wish I never knew about...

That's my vote. Cops are dicks. The dead kid was a dick. Case closed.

I know one of these days there will be a REAL Batman and even the dirty cops will cower in fear.

In the mean time... whatever.....

Sorry black teen's Mother. Even if he was the biggest asshole in the world, and I'm not even suggesting he was since I know nothing about the story, you never stopped loving him.

I really hope he wasn't a bad guy and that those responsible for his death are made to pay.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Hey NOBC !!! Does this count ?

I know it's not exactly what I was posting , but the fact that the story is being backed up by MULTIPLE witnesses leads credence to my prior post.

Brown was the aggressor, and the cop acted in self defense.

That's not ME saying that, but the story from many who claim they saw it, and the story ( allegedly ) that the cop himself has given.




AH, here it is, I went looking for this original post.

Followed the link to the Daily Mail, and looked at the story. Got this far:

Quote:


St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter who tweeted on Monday that 'more than a dozen witnesses corroborated cop's story' later admitted she was on leave and her post was 'personal'




Not sure exactly what that means, but it reads to me as the Daily Mail won't report her statement as valid journalism. ANd it sounds like she's backing away from it herself, claiming it's not up to her own standards as a professional journalist. Just a personal tweet. How close it that to "anecdotal"?

Officer Darren Wilson’s Online Support Group Is As Classy As You’d Expect

By David Weigel

Quote:




One of the stranger subcultures of the #Ferguson moment is the spontaneous support group that's collected to support Officer Darren Wilson. Gideon Resnick reports on the most prominent GoFundMe page and T-shirt campaign and Facebook group of the movement, and got a few comments from organizers. (I've requested some comments, too, because I am absolutely terrible at book leave.) They say what you might expect: They wish this situation weren't racialized. "Al and Jesse would never come out from cowardly hiding if it were a black cop and white offender," says one organizer, very un-racist-ly.

I say this is strange because Wilson has not been arrested. The GoFundMe page, which has raised more than $21,000 (and was started in St. Charles, the conservative county outside St. Louis), explains that "all proceeds will be sent directly to Darren Wilson and his family for any financial needs they may have including legal fees." The legal fees, currently, would pay for nothing. That's sort of why protesters keep taking over the streets. (By contrast, the George Zimmerman defense fund only started going after Zimmerman was arrested.)

Who would be so moved by Wilson's legal non-plight to organize for him? We Support Officer Darren Wilson, the Facebook group, greets visitors with this message: "We do NOT SUPPORT RACISM OF ANY KIND. HATRED, RACISM AND NEGGATIVE COMMENTS OR POSTS WILL RESULT IN YOUR REMOVAL OF THE GROUP." One of the group admins is Ryder Wingrath, who on Aug. 16 changed his Facebook avatar to a meme of solidarity. The change was celebrated on his Facebook wall.




I love that line with the ALL CAPS. Hey, Thug, did you write it? Or is it just somebody who can't spell any better than you can? And misbehavior will result in REMOVAL OF THE GROUP... Huh? THey're all gonna go away and leave you alone? or maybe they mean "from" the group? But ya can see the importance of proper spelling and of proper word usage.

Lotta stuff from the website. I can't get it to copy but here's a quote:

Bernie Blair: I think the cop is a hero. One down, many more to go. August 16 at 3:56 PM




OH, but none of it is from racists. None of the Animal Planet pictures, or non worker jokes, or other stuff.

There's plenty more from Weigel, and from the sidebars his piece links to. I'm not gonna quote any more of it, but all of you lefties might go there. If it doesn't piss you off, or make you sick, it'll make you laugh. The rest of you, you might find it inspirational. And there's links to places where you could contribute money to groups pledging for his legal defense funding.

No NOBC, What I write you ignore because it is on a level you cannot address. What you do instead is criticize my spelling. It just shows you side stepping the issue because as I said, it is over your head. The funniest thing is, as I cut and paste your responses into word, it is the one with the grammatical errors. I put it to all here to cut and paste this in word and see who the moron is here. It’s really funny seeing all your errors in this post(5 if you include the whole post), as well as the others as I type my responses. Funny because it is the pot calling the kettle black. Cut and post all mine into word and hers as well. I am not saying I don't make mistakes, but let's see who does it more often? I think you'll be surprised NOBC.



As I keep saying. Address what I have been posting to you today. What nothing to say about the content?

But how can that be ? Who'd back up the cop if they didn't see what they had actually thought they saw ?

And what about those who claimed Mike was shot in the back ? Arms raised ?

Sorry, facts don't support that. His arms were never raised. That's the myth that those w/ an agenda want to promote.

Again Rap I don't know what happened, but I do know there are what was describe as possible reentry wounds. They to are in the front of his body. Meaning if he was facing the officer with his arms and hands in front of him the reentry wounds could be from shots hitting his arms and then his chest.

Remember, that could happen if he was laying face up and trying to protect himself from an out of control cop. It would not explain the angle of the shot to the head. Still it's all just speculation at this point.

ANd only shot 6 ties, not 10 as FREM suggested. 'Course one of those 6 was in the top of the head, and one went in near the right eye, came out the jaw, and went in near the collarbone. And none of them were close enough to leave powder burns.

" Now, tell me , Dr. Quincy, what does that suggest, forensically, about the positions and actions of the police officer and the deceased at the moment of the shooting?"


Asking DA, surely the aggressive thug was charging the officer, high on weed, hands full of stolen cigar boxes, stumbled, and by the time officer's gun discharged, hit thug in the top of the head.

Not that hard to figure - but, hey let's just assume that the thug's criminal accomplice is telling the truth instead, OK?
