Look at the size of Michael Brown, he is gigantic but also a harden criminal.
No evidence points to the cop acting in self defense.

Stealing cigars and committing a misdemeanor assault in the store makes him a hardened criminal ? Sounds more like a softened criminal to me.

The thing you got right is we don't know because there's an ongoing investigation.

There is no evidence that the cop did not act in self-defense. So why are you constantly attacking the police officer?

There's nothing to convict the police officer on or else he would have been arrested by now I would think? There is a strong case in favor of Wilson because even a witch hunt by Holder out to appease people who want this officer's head can't manufacture enough dirt to put him away. There is also 'strong evidence' that Brown touched the gun.

They are just holding off the inevitable wave of looting, burning and rioting while doing everything they can to appease in other ways since there is no evidence to support a legitimate arrest. Like using tax payer money to rebuild the city they destroyed, and taking away protection gear for their police department.

I haven't seen any evidence for Officer Wilson yet. All I've seen is the autopsy reports, eye witness accounts and a video. I haven't seen any ballistic or toxicology reports, nor Wilson's medical record.
If you've got a link for them, pass it on

The same arguments of looting/rioting was brought up during the Zimmerman case. I didn't think Zimmerman was guilty, he was found not guilty,
and guess what - no riots.

The evidence (forensic) will convict Wilson, or not. I'm thinking if the grand jury does indict, and it goes to trial, that evidence will be pretty strong.

After the Verdict: The Zimmerman Non-Riots - The New Yorker

"Amplifying the irony is the fact that the verdict was announced on July 13, 2013—the hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the Civil War draft riots in New York City, in which white mobs pursued and killed blacks on the streets and burned a black orphanage to the ground."

The Grand Jury has not gave their findings yet......I hope Wilson will not be charged....but, it is not over.

Im glad they are taking their time, but really, it may take the proper amount of time to properly do the investigation.. Im also glad they are not being pressured by idiots to hurry. Maybe also it will give the haters a chance to simmer down somewhat.

If the facts say the officer is guilty , he is guilty, if he is railroaded and they say he is guilty , and the facts are distorted with bias, then that is a whole other ballgame. If they can't proof the officer didn't do anything wrong then he is not guilty in the eyes of the criminal justice system.

Those two actions constitute a robbery, not a petty crime.
