GS giving the snide half laughing really after asking Wilson if he would have acted differently if Brown was white was total bush league.

I think he probably had to ask it since it was expected by the "masses," but his facial expressions are just "him." He's always done that. ... I got tired of him asking 10 ways to Sunday if there was something else Wilson could've done to prevent it. Other than that, I thought he did ok.

I don't believe that after five plus shots, he was trying to "charge" and would have posed any significant risk at that point. Hell, I would understand more if officer Wilson shot him in the car as he was allegedly grabbing for his gun. That's definitely a "shoot to kill" time.


It sounds like you need to read up on the facts because it doesn't really matter what you "believe."

DW's story of what happened was backed up by forensics and several witnesses.

Sounds like it doesn't matter what YOU believe. The forensics are conflicting as well as the autopsies. You believe what you want; I'll do the same.

He tried to shoot him from in the car but Brown's hand was preventing the gun from firing. And someone as big as Brown could easily take a few non-lethal shots from a 9mm and keep moving like nothing ever happened.

Another thing to keep in mind through all of this is the entire ordeal from start to finish took a little over 90 seconds. Let that sink in. 90 seconds in which about a million micro-decisions were being made on the fly by both parties.

If your smug comment was directed at me, it needn't be. I said I don't know what happened and because of that I think that the decision rendered was proper. What I questioned was the excessive shots. It's interesting to me in these types of cases that others have firm ideas of what has happened solely based on who did what. You have people that believe that Michael brown should have been killed based on what they think happened in the convenience store. I wonder why they believed that. They made up their mind before officer Wilson ever released his hyperbolic account.

I was listening when they interviewed one of the guys that did one of the autopsies a while ago, according to him the head shot was what killed him, without it, as long as he made it to the hospital in any reasonable time he would have survived. A lot of this hits were arms and extremities that wouldn't necessarily have brought him down.

in the heat of the moment, he probably didn't even feel any of the shots, the head one was pretty much immediate dirt nap. All defensive carry classes say to shoot until the threat stops. 15-25 feet away isn't far when someone's charging you. I think the phrase is if they are within 25', you won't even be able to get the goun out and ready....

I didn't state any opinion you idiot. I only stated facts. You can choose to ignore them and make up theories in your head if you want.

How did Brown's blood spray in the car and Wilson's cloths? Looks like one witness was taken care of last night. 5 more to go.

So the NYT printed Wilsons home address.... which seems pretty darn ridiculous given whats going on right now.... but in a local tie one of the reporters lives in bayou st john new orleans and some site shared it.

You have just as many people that think the cop was out to kill just based on the sole fact that he's white. The only thing the convenience store tape proved is that Mike Brown wasn't just some giant misunderstood teddy bear. He was an aggressive a-hole. He didn't deserve to die for taking cigarillos. He deserved to die because he tried to take a cop's gun.

That's true. I can agree that people on all sides made assumptions based on race.

Does anyone know what color the little baby was that was on Wilson's previous call?

That's just simply not true. What did white people assume based on Brown's race? We know that he robbed a store and tried to take a cop's gun. Those are actual facts even if he was a fricking walking purple dinosaur.
