This is a quote from the OPs post, The man told CNN he heard one gunshot, then another shot about 30 seconds later. Witnesses sometimes see what they want to see, don't see what they want to see, and see what they see. Point is they are sometimes unreliable. Add a traumatic event into this, like maybe gunshots and they tend to be unreliable.
Are you saying that the officer here may be unreliable as well? What's good for the goose.....
There are witnesses that support MB and witnesses that support DW. Both you and I weren't there so neither of us really know what happened. The only thing I believe that we can both agree on is that MB, by virtue of the video tape pulled a strong arm robbery.
You are forgetting one other detail that we all know (whether we were there or not). That being that Officer Wilson killed M Brown- we can all agree on that, can't we?
One more time - at 6'2" and 300 pounds, he WAS the weapon. He'd already attacked the officer.
I haven't watched the video. Is it the actual footage of him putting his hands up, or just 2 people talking about him putting his hands up. Yea, that's credible.
Since they were there, I'd say their version is more credible than yours.

Despite HUGE EVIDENCE to the contrary, many Americans choose to remain ignorant and believe being a policeman makes someone a good guy- WAKE UP!! Yes, there are plenty of good cops, There are also plenty of "legal bullies" who should not be in a position of authority.
People attracted to violence/power tend to want to join the police/military. Not saying they're all like that of course, but that's a fact that some are.
That's why when I hear "unarmed teen" I think yeah, but what about his body pushing people around.. your body can be a weapon if used in the right way.
So if it's a big man, shoot him- just in case. That's some logic!!
That ship has sailed. Officer Darren Wilson is being lynched via thoroughly modern means and his name is mud. He's in hiding and his name is ruined and his life will never be the same. All because he shot a thug and a felon who was trying to KILL him.
I find the whole thing reprehensible and any talk of a 'transparent judicial process' is ridiculous at this point. How on earth can anyone make this right for Officer Wilson?
No other event in modern times has so clearly demonstrated that we have crossed the rubicon in this country. America has lost its moral compass. A young cop with a clean record kills a thug, and the politicans, government officials and the mass media rush in to crucify the cop and idealize the thug.
As I said: Reprehensible.
IF Officer Wilson murdered him, he deserves everything coming to him.

Careful, your independent thinking may wake up some out there who want to see police thru "rose colored glasses".
Brown could have had his hands up....to go for Wilson's throat.
They could see Brown had his hands in the air withhis back to the cop saying "ok, ok, ok." Very threatening.
They saw Brown's "brains come out of his head" so they must have been close enough to see what was going on. How many witnesses do the cop apologists need?

Very very true. The country is freaked out about violence and the NFL, but it is well-documented that there is a lot of domestic violence by cops and it is time that is acknowledged as well.

Until the police actually say what happened (and why have they still not told us what that was?) we don't even know what was supposed to have happened according to the cop. Doesn't anyone find it odd that the police have not given the cop's version yet? All that does is fuel suspicion.
