re: I have a feeling this officer is going to be railroaded.

Well if this is true it's news to me. The last I heard (and granted I'm traveling this week) the kid had his hands up in surrender and was shot at a considerable distance. It was expressed in such a way that I had come to believe this was almost an indisputable fact. I apologize and admit I'm wrong if new credible evidence negates what I had initially believed.

Autopsy report shows hands were down. The shots are to the front of the arm not the back of the arm. As if someone's hands were raised. No shots in the back.

Respectable

That's the problem in this investigation. Someone with no credibility made the claim of hands up execution and the nations media and black community ran with it.

However the facts in the case as they have been released which has been terribly executed still show what appears to be a justifiable homicide on the part of the cops. The autopsies proved at least to me the hands up execution did not happed. All physical evidence and even some eye witness testimony shows Brown the aggressor that took 6 shots to put down.

if by "railroaded" you mean "fired for killing an unarmed man who was raising his hands in surrender and who was no longer an immediate threat to anybody" than yes. He will be "railroaded".

Link?

I love to see where that has been shown.

An unarmed man was shot and killed from a distance at which it's undeniable that he posed no threat to the officer who fired the fatal shots. That's clearly grounds for termination - and probably criminal charges. These are facts - I invite you to dispute any of them.

How many feet away was Mike Brown from the officer? Do you know that someone 20ft away from you can get to you before you can unholster a weapon? Most use of force policies use 20-23 ft as a zone for someone with a knife.

OK spidertard.

A punk walks into a store and steals some cigars to mix in with his weed. In the process of a crime, store confronts the thief only to be 'strong-armed'.
As the punk and his thug buddy are walking down the middle of the street, the officer asks them to get out of the MIDDLE of the road and onto the sidewalk.

The thug doesn't like to be told what to do by 'da man' punches the officer, breaking his eye-socket then tries to steal the officers weapon which a shot is discharged.

The punk runs away and then thinks to himself, 'I'll be damned if I let this white cracker pig tell me what to do. I am taking this cracker down.'

Officer perceives his life is in danger and there is evidence that officer fired a warning shot( bullet from the officers weapon was found in the wall of an adjacent home to the scene). The punk, despite the warning shot, continues to charge the officer.

Officer has no choice other than to protect himself from a potentially deadly scene.

Got that spider? Doubtful but go create another alter...

so ferguson burns to the ground? ... the locals won't care since they don't want businesses there anyway ...

win/win for everybody ... 'cept the cop who shot the unarmed, belligerent, thieving thug who charged and tried to take his gun ...

Supposedly.
