Like I would answer to the same posters who've just attacked me.
You get nothing more from me about the Movement. Your irrelevant.
I only talk to people who I believe actually care.
Can you cite another case that a white cop shot a black guy for no apparent reason and that the details are more clear?
If so, wouldn't it be a better case to champion your cause? This one is entirely too muddy to get people to see your point.

Thanks for being civil.
It's not just about THIS case. The only reason this case was the tipping point was because of the protests and national/international attention it gained. Mostly through social media.
If there were no initial protests, and if they had died down shortly after, there would be no Movement as we have it today on these issues.
It's the collection of cases and the magnitude of cases along with other Police issues that spawned the Movement. This was simply the last straw so to speak.
fwiw..... knowing the racial tensions iin this metro area, I had not formed an opinion on what I think really happened until these papers were released and I watched Darren Wilson's interviews with GMA.......
The St. Louis area is HUGELY segregated.... baby steps of progress are being made though..... I am seeing less segregation than 1986 when I moved here......

Remember. If you defend yourself against a black man, argue with one, refuse to let one into college or give them a job, accidentally bump into one, or look at them wrong you're automatically racist.
Arriving at an agreement can be helpful. I am ending this Gtowne from me to you. You like many others will pursue your cause and millions of individuals, one person at a time, will be lost in your "cause" and you will see them failing to take the steps needed to succeed one by one.

It's daily occurrences in the Black Community that the rest of the US sees as the problem.
If there was a lot less Black crime there would be a lot less spent on Law Enforcement and any problems associated.
The rest of the US recognizes a whole set of different problems. The Black Murder rate is probably the largest.
Let's review the Chicago Tribune this Sunday and see the crime over the Holiday.
This whole country has "progressed" from individual rights to civil rights to evil rights.
