Law enforcement showed amazing restraint while watching these fools loot, burn businesses and police cars.

That whole "Brown got into the police car" thing bothers me.

From driver's side, passenger side, rear door?

How could he get into the driver's side?

Did he ask Wilson to scoot over?

Did Brown sit on Wilson, like Zimmie did Trayvon?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Default I firmly believe that eric holder will find the judgement of the grand jury in Ferguson to be wrong.

Any bets that Officer Wilson will be behind bars before holder leaves office?

The kind of restraint Wilson should have shown.

Any bets that Holder will see the inside of a jail cell before Officer Wilson?

Seems to me they showed amazing lack of planning/prevention or mere common sense.

If it is true what the Governor stated, that the police force worked extremely hard the last 100
days preparing for this, I just have to ask what exactly were they doing to prepare, because
from most folks view, it looks like they just stood back and allowed this burning, looting to happen.

They could have started with announcing during "daylight hours", preferably 6 a.m.
Now school is called off, and the elderly are afraid to leave their homes anyways, so what was the
point to a nighttime announcement.

If the Nat'l Guard was protecting 100 sites, I'd like to know what they were, and why the local
store fronts of this small community were not on that list.

From the testimony "you're way to much of a ***** to shoot me". Not your ordinary law abiding citizen as he grappled with officer Wilson for his gun.

why the hell did they release this info at NIGHT?

it's like they wanted to make sure we could get great video of the fires...

and why the hell did the prosecuted sound like the defense attorney? I have never seen a prosecutor give a closing argument for the defense.

I'm not surprised though, especially when they show injuries that look like a pimple.
