re: Official Ferguson Live Riot Thread - Wilson to NOT be Indicted!

Still closer to the truth than the other side of the story

Yeah, nevermind the fake photos of someone else. Officer Wilson clearly took a hellacious beating.

Yes, they said DW had a fractured orbital socket (from an unconfirmed report) and touted it as fact. Wasn't true

They tried to walk that version back fairly quickly, though - 3 or 4 days at most that floated.

The best evidence of Wilson's innocence is Brown's DNA on Wilson's weapon - I'm not saying that trumps all other considerations, but it puts Wilson's actions, post-front seat struggle, into a lot more context.

No other conclusion is reasonable - other than Brown fought with Wilson over control of Wilson's weapon - they were fighting over it when 1 or 2 shots were fired, including 1 round that caused injuries to Brown. If he didn't surrender after being shot, I infer the worst possible intention on his part.

And if he had surrendered, even after fighting a cop and trying to take his gun - he would be alive today. There were about half a dozen choices Brown made that day that led to his death - almost any one of which switched the "right" way would have resulted in little to no consequences for him. Even surrendering after the initial dust up with the cop would likely have yielded a few weeks to a few months in local jail.

But, he was all in.

Since when did you start writing for 48 hours?

I cannot fathom the idea of someone attacking a cop and not expecting there to be bad repercussions.

Michael brown caused his own death. These protests will not have the effect that they want.

He'd be dead if he hadn't killed Brown. Face it, brown deserved to die and the world is better off without him stealin everyone's oxygen.

I think they got exactly what they wanted and walked out the front window with it.

Agreed.

You try to grab a cops gun and you're likely going to get shot. Hell, I'm not a cop but if someone tried to take my gun from me and they didn't succeed, I would shoot them too.

And I agree that Michael Brown caused his own death. These riots are destroying businesses. The business owners had nothing to do with Brown getting shot.

They have the opposite effect and people take them less and less serious each time they throw a fit for not getting their way, and the facts don't support their cause in the end. All involved are a joke.

Exactly.

I'm not sure exactly what he thought that he was proving by posting that pic. You try to take a cops gun and there is a good chance that you end up dead.

Da fauq???
