I understand where you are coming from with this. What would you like to see happen at this point? The grand jury did not recommend an indictment. There have been protests at different locations around the country for this case and the case in New York.


I would liked to have not seen conservative white America (my people iow) react to this whole story in such a predictable way, basically just seeing it as another opportunity to confirm their preexisting biases.

Also wasted an opportunity to talk about police tactics.

The race pimps wasted an opportunity to talk about police tactics. They made it into solely a black/white issue and narrative.

I would have loved for it to be a discussion on policing. Especially the issue of small township police forces, revenue and St. Louis county. We all know that's a problem here.

The opportunity was gone from the second this shite started. And it is the fault of ONE group of people. The protestors and left wing media who suck up to them for votes.

Stop making everything a race issue and discussion WILL happen. Until then, nothing will change.

I have a feeling the people outraged don't actually give any fricks about change anyways.

Anyone who viewed Wilson as justified in this situation made the correct assessment. Brown WAS A THUG who DID COMMIT A STRONG ARM ROBBERY!

You are insinuating that white conservatives who sided with Wilson are racist........POINTING OUT FACTS DOES NOT MAKE ONE RACIST!

On your point regarding police tactics......as a LEO I can agree with you that there have been incidents that have raised a level of concern with me. BUT this was not one of them. Wilson's use of force was correct. Brown committed felonious assault upon Wilson. Wilson was DUTY BOUND to pursue Brown. Brown made the unfortunately idiotic decision to attempt to engage an armed LEO for the second time.

The morons who attempt to point out that Wilson should have not pursued Brown and waited for backup....are the same assholes that would have been screaming for Wilson's head if Brown would have escaped and committed another robbery that resulting in him severely wounding or killing someone. Wilson was RIGHT in pursuing Brown.
