It wouldn't matter if he were wearing a suit and tie or anything else for that matter. The facts are in and MB got away with strong arming that shop keeper for cigarillos but he didn't get away with trying to murder DW.
BTW I just sent DW a C note, how do you like them apples?

Brown was the one who reached into the car. Wilson grabbed his arm while it was in the car.

Wow. It's easier to believe that Mike Brown (again, no known mental illnesses and wasn't hyped up on narcotics) would just suddenly become an aggressive, insane nutcase just cause the cop told him to get off the sidewalk?


You don't have to answer. I already know what you're gonna say. Oh, Darren Wilson, was 6'4", 210 pounds. He wasn't some frail short man that couldn't handle himself. Darren was upset that when he opened his door, it hit Brown and bounced back. So, instead of gently opening the door like a normal human being, he grabbed Brown by his neck pulling his head through the window. When Brown got his neck out of his grip, he then grabbed his arm and shot him.

This same cop came from another police department that was dismantled due to treating blacks like crap. Ferguson PD is known as the police department for misfits that can't get hired anywhere else in Missouri.

Wilson has resigned from the force..
"Wilson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he was stepping down out of his "own free will" after the police department told him it had received threats of violence if he remained an employee."

Yeah, well he got $2 million dollar retirement chest from suckers for committing murder. I'd retire too.

Completely untrue.

Also, the criminal is a criminal if he is committing a crime, he is not just suspected of committing a crime.
Number one, we don't know if the suspect was trying to kill the officer because the officer killed the suspect. Judging by Wilson's injuries, its questionable.

Number two, a suspect is a suspect until he is found guilty or not guilt in a court of law.

As far as I recall, the painting of MB as an angel came before anything else, this is the result of the spin that the so-called civil rights people who swooped in to hijack the issue. Have we all forgotten MB's now completely debunked scripted rendition of the initial encounter with DW? His diction would have made Shakespeare proud... Many of the initial claims by other supposed witnesses have been proven to be wrong. Even the "protesters" have accepted this -- no more do you hear "hands up! don't shoot!". Now it's "black lives matter". I don't think anyone has ever suggested that MB "deserved" to be shot because he robbed a store or was walking in the middle of the street, or because he liked to flash gang signs for pics or smoked weed or was a flunky at school. I'd love for someone to cough up some examples not posted by trolls or race-baiters. The issue is specifically what happened when the confrontation began and weather or not DW was justified in feeling that he was in fear for his own safety. Certainly if the exact same scenario would have transpired but MB was white, I highly doubt DW would have reacted differently. The public response would have been different, though; Sharpton and Jackson would be nowhere to be seen, not a peep from Obama on the matter, no night-after-night of rioting, dozens of businesses wouldn't have been burned to the ground...

This is why you see such a mass demonization and character assassination any time one is murdered. You can tell a lot of these commentators and people posting on the internet want to say(and many have)that they had it coming to them. "Well come on he smoked weed and got suspended from school, he wasn't some angel" etc.

Wrong.

Suspect Law & Legal Definition

SUSPECT:
Quote:
In criminal law, a suspect is someone who is under suspicion, often formally announced as being under investigation by law enforcement officials. Probable cause for an arrest exists when the facts and circumstances within the arresting officer's knowledge are sufficient to warrant a prudent person to believe that a suspect has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime.
criminal legal definition of criminal

CRIMINAL
Quote:
criminal 1) n. a popular term for anyone who has committed a crime, whether convicted of the offense or not. More properly it should apply only to those actually convicted of a crime. Repeat offenders are sometimes called habitual criminals. 2) adj. certain acts or people involved in or relating to a crime. Examples of uses include "criminal taking," "criminal conspiracy," a "criminal gang." (See: convict, felon, habitual criminal)

We hire the police to deal with people that do not think like the majority of us...........and that includes white and black criminals. I think that if any of us were cops for a month we would have a whole different perspective on how nice people are.

It must be even worse when a cop is asked to work in an area that is known to be crime riddled. Every city and town in the country has nice areas and also areas where crime is rampant. My own town has a couple of areas like that, and I would not drive through there at night under any circumstances, but we send our police officers in there to keep the peace.

Think about this...........how would you like a job where you never knew when you left your family that morning if you were going to come back to them alive that night ? That is what our police do every day of their lives. There are people out there who would think nothing of killing a cop and who carry the weapons on them to do it. We send our cops into these war zones and then we hold them to a higher standard than we hold the criminals to.

Also, think about this...........what if every cop in the country suddenly quit his or her job ? Try to imagine that world for a minute. If you think the burning and looting in Fergusen is bad, multiply that times 100,000 and that would be the outcome. Our law enforcement people keep the lid on crime so that 99% of us can go to bed at night and sleep well. But when one of them is put in a position of having to defend himself, or to deal with an out of control criminal, we get all politically correct and say they used "excessive force."

Go out and become a cop for a while and then come back and tell us armchair quarterbacks how things really are.

Don
Well said!

I wish every one of those whiners would go on ten ride-alongs in the 'hood and see all of the reality they've missed, while they were so busy being "cool" and "politically correct". The ride-alongs should occur during the evening and midnight shifts - when all of the savages are awake and in their primary element.

I'd laugh at how fast they changed their tune, after they viewed one violent crime scene (and body) after another...

you mean it is questionable to you, not most people.


number to, you are correct in criminal law definition, but a person who commits a crime is a criminal in the english definition.

To ignore the facts and want to crucify a white police officer for doing his job just to vindicate that ignorant mentality is the epitome of racist. Isn't black on black crime just as racist? I'm going to burn down my community, shoot your child in the head because they're in the way of my drug activity, take what you have because I want it, shoot you in the head because you disrespected me is racism at it's finest. This mentality promotes hatred among groups of people that should be banding together to make life better. Yet we as white people are called racists because we despise that culture when in fact that culture is far more racist and destructive. Let me ask you a question. Where would you rather live? In a ghetto with boarded up buildings and thugs on every street corner or in a white community with nice houses and people that work hard for a living to make their community a safe and pleasant place? No brainer right, yet there you have it. If that ghetto community banded together and took back their community block by block and put all that negative energy into fixing up those houses for decent people to occupy then they would have what every body else has. That mentality has to wake up and smell the coffee, until then they will be despised and rightfully so.
All so very true! I don't expect the blacks to change their ways anytime soon. Therefore, blacks will continue to be extremely unwelcome in White neighborhoods, shopping districts, entertainment venues and any other places where Whites want to be shielded from typical negro behavior (which is frequently criminal and almost always offensive, in some manner)...
