Looking at Public info, what's the reason to not indict. There's no Publicly released info to support the Wilson side. Did Brown attack Wilson in the car; did Brown charge Wilson on the street; is Wilson severely beaten. Not a single document or witness Known to support those. six bullets, one in the forehead, one in the skull, who knows how many fired shots that missed. Video showing Wilson walking around after the shooting.
In support of Wilson, there is ... ?
Whether I'd vote to indict after hearing the DA's case, who knows. That depends on what he has and how fair he is in presenting the case.
Well on this thread I was told that no evidence can be released by the DA. He could be sitting on a video of the entire shooting in HD and we would not know it. In addition, every witness coorborated that there was a struggle between MB and the officer. Hospital records, officers testimony (he is a sworn officer) and the forensics will make this case...we will not know. The DA and the GJ will evaluate it and either move forward or not with a prosecution. Either way, patience apparently is a virtue. Hopefully Holder and the rat and pony show will move off to some other thing.

Not true. Dorain Johnson and other witnesses said Brown punched Wilson while Wilson was in the squad. One very credible black girl, appearing on CNN, saw part of it from her apartment. Said, Wilson was attempting to get Michael Brown into the car, said "that wasn't working too good because Brown was too big." Then Brown walked off, Wilson went after him on foot, she went to get her phone, to tape the event. When she returned to the window, Brown was dead. So, she videotaped Wilson pacing next to the body talking to another cop.
Another, not so credible older woman, was interviewed who said Wilson never left the car, and shot at Brown from the car - which conflicts with every other eye witness, all of whom say Wilson left the car to pursue Brown. So, even eye witnesses don't see the same things.
But enough of them - at least four that I've heard so far - are consistent about (1) altercation at the squad car, (2) Wilson pursued Brown on foot, (3) none can say they saw Brown with his hands up. Dorain Johnson originally said that and now has recanted.
In the end, the entire event probably took less than two minutes, with most of it occurring at the squad. The chase and shooting - probably less than 30 seconds, I'll bet.

I dont understand why there is only one cop per car.in rough neighborhoods there should always be two cops per car, this way the main cop already has a backup right there to help.
Are there any blacks on here that think the officer might of been justified in killing Brown?
I wonder what percent of blacks believe he was justified 1%, 5%?
I know of one well known black CD member who expressed her view on the matter and she clearly stated that she is not supporting Michael Brown. When she came on and said what she said it surprised all of us who knows who she is.
Im not saying she is in support of the police officer either, but at least she is not blindly supporting someone only because he happens to be black and was shot by a white cop.

Probably finances. I doubt the people in those neighborhoods want to pay the taxes to have 2 in each patrol car. Hell, I don't either-it shouldn't take 2 cops to write a traffic ticket.
i am hearing outrageous stories from both sides. i just want some truth that's all.
sounds like there was some really bad behavior criminal behavior going on in ferguson. it sounds like the police were baited into overreaction???. it happens. . but you know i was not there and i have no right to say or judge. lets get the truth forth before any more damage is done.
