Media is just noticing this because they had a taste of it up close and personal.
They didn't have that same outlook when the troops were walking the streets in Boston did they ?
Those bearcats were a welcome sight in their eyes.

NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE.

Now, does that make sense
Good to see you are actually looking at the facts here.

Doesn't matter. The bullet will project straight through the arm. Are you implying that there was a reentry of a bullet to the forearm into the torso?

None of the major news outlets have picked up the orbit fracture post. Is that right?

It's got to be a lie. Our c-d detectives have already reviewed the blurry, far away video of Wilson and declared him perfectly fine.
The doctors must be lying. Perhaps ellemint an gtown can call and give the hospital the correct information.

Trial by Twitter and Youtube has already been conducted and Wilson is guilty.

And he'd better do it with a better method than telling his staties to go in there and "hug" the locals for the cameras. Dumb ass!

All parties are behaving like this is their very first rodeo. How many of these events must a country endure before all authorities figure out how it's supposed to be handled and write a playbook.

So. there's my track record.

My arguments are mostly based on forensics. My husband worked in Forensics before
becoming a physician and I know how accurate the science is.

So I do not look at cases from an emotional place, but rather a fact finding one.
If the forensic evidence is not there to convict (let's say, the Scott Peterson case) I would be
a terrible person to have on the jury for the prosecution, because I could not convict on purely circumstantial.

If I had been born in the times of Lizzy Borden, I would have had to let her go too.
You're a perfect example of 'the CSI effect.' Someone who thinks every case should have indisputable forensics to convict.

If forensic 'science' is the perfect evidence, pure 'science,' we wouldn't see every trial have competing forensic 'experts.'

I think they are not going to have much choice in the matter and it will be dealt with in whatever manner is required. Unfortunately that manner will probably get violent since some will refuse to allow peace to be the option there. As with Mr. Brown they are setting themselves up for a major fall and as happened with him some will not use reason or rational thinking and overreact once again and even more people will get hurt.
