Nobody deserves to be assassinated by their own local police for shoplifting, intimidation, assault, walking in the middle of a street and arrogance. None of those are even felonies- all misdemeanors at most.


You also forgot to mention how the "media circus" attempted to portray both "innocent" young Black males as deviant and malicious marijuana users. They of course left out that 18% of 10th graders have used mj within the last month.

You must ask yourself, what other witnesses are out there and what are they saying to investigators? Perhaps I am jaded but I always am suspect of 'witnesses' whose first reaction is to run to the media and get their 15 minutes of fame. More times than not, they turn out to be bad witnesses and their account does not match the physical evidence. Recall the initial narrative from witnesses claiming Brown was shot in the back? Lot of backtracking going on after the autopsy showed that to be a complete fabrication. The truth will come out but it's not going to be right away because it's an ongoing investigation. A result of an instant gratification society I guess.

Then there will be more dead black people. I believe there were more than 50 people killed during the Rodney King riots, all black. Makes a lot of sense right?

We don't know all of the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

They have video of people at the scene talking about what happened, and it seems the kid was NOT on his knees with his hands up, he was approaching the officer when he was shot.

Looks like the cop is getting railroaded.

A fairly detailed timeline of the entire Brown situation. Something interesting that I noted was how this timeline really debunks the claim that 'no one' was paying attention to the shooting and/or addressing it. The shooting happened at noon on Saturday, August 9th and by 11 am on Monday, August 11th, the FBI has already announced they are investigating the shooting. At 10 am on the day following the shooting, the police have already given a press conference on the matter and the Browns have already retained Crump as legal counsel. That's not paying attention to the shooting???

Timeline: Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Mo.

Don't know if you can see the photo and having trouble embedding. But its an altered image of the autopsy report as if Brown had his hands up when he was shot.


It definitely changes the narrative. He probably was not turned with his arms at his side when he was shot. The shot through the hand could have came as he was blocking the barrage of bullets.

They do when they hear gun shots. It's called live to fight another day



Or at least this one does/has.

Yep, that shot to the top of his skull is very realistic.

I think the only reasonable news yesterday was the McCullough the DA refused to step aside. There was no reason to in the first place but the mob mentality thinks that he is tainted. The Governor aka Butterball "Justice" Nixon may remove him to assuage the bright people demanding his removal. He said he was mulling it over. "I have to aks my advisors".

The DA said the process could take 2 months to complete which is a component of fairness taking the time to do a careful and thorough job of assessing the evidence. No doubt this will enflame all nature of animal especially the predatory but lame wild Sharpton.

The shouts for "justice" and these folks have no idea I mean NO idea what justice is or how it happens. Unbelievable.

CNN keeps trying to push the narrative that McCullough is 'tainted' due to his personal past and relationship with law enforcement (being a DA and all!). Even the guests they have on are telling the anchors that's ridiculous but they just keep trying nonetheless. Really, CNN is trying quite hard to incite even more violence. What the heck is wrong with them??
