Pausing 30 seconds after you shoot someone means you have time to process the person is no longer a threat.

2.) Most whites and conservatives will side with the police/law enforcement, regardless of the facts that come out.

Just an observation. I'm sure that most people in other countries that observe these events are just sitting back and thinking to themselves "what a sad state of affairs going on in the United States. Glad we don't live there".
I don't think that's what we've learned. What the media reports and what happens in this forum are not necessarily real life. Everyone I have spoken to in real life whether they are black or white is waiting to see what the facts are. I suspect there are millions of rational Americans doing the same thing.

And round and round we go. Must have been a biggie since I didnt know about it until green brought it up at least 10 times as a defense. So green... do you want the cops beheaded because that seems to be the only thing you'll except since day one.

Honestly, it wasn't a huge deal until the Police response. That's when I think everybody tuned in. Just saying IF its found that the witnesses are accurate, then it will be cruel justice for the Police.


The militarization of the Police gets exposed for what it is and we could get real Police reform to protect our fellow Americans.

unless he Brown was BUM-RUSHING him. But I doubt being that his eye was smashed in that he had much thought except that his life was being threatened.

At least Fox isn't doing 24/7 Ferguson/Riot/Michael Brown coverage ... and fanning the flames in the process.



CNN used to be a NEWS network. It's disgusting now.

Doesn't matter if there are new stories, the media will bring the circus back to all our towns when there are new/major developments.
