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.
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.

Except what you posted has in portions been completely discredited and in other areas has proved to be grossly exaggerated. I'm not saying he was or was not justified in shooting Brown. Hopefully we'll find that out in a independent and transparent judicial process

It's pretty disgusting that someone who clearly has a loose grasp on the few facts that have been established would commend an officer for killing a human being. As disgusting as those who would threaten the officer given what has been established to date.

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.

Wilson was wrong- yuo must be like the jury in Simi Valley- just don't want to believe that police officers would do such a thing. The average police officer is of no better chjracter than anyone else- plenty of them are just plain bad.

This is so utterly laughable it's hilarious.
So standard procedure is to kill anyone who comes within 25 feet in an aggressive manner? LMAO So that means get within 25 feet and cop draws gun and empties his clip? Even with no weapon? No wrestling suspect to ground or using a baton or a stun gun? Automatically just start firing? That's standard procedure? Are you an leo?

If you're that much of a wuss that you can't let anyone get within 25 feet of you that you have to empty your clip into them then you need to take up a new job. There's a 1000 applicants for every open officer position. Plenty of people to take their place.

Oh here's a lovely video of an officer nearly beating to death a senior citizen because he didn't listen to his commands. The guy was suffering from dementia/alzhemiers and probably didn't even know where he was

How about some common sense rather than being a psychopathic violent person?

Ummm because the officer pulled out his gun and started firing at him. lol That's where the pause took place. Then he put his hands up and then officer finished him off according to numerous witnesses

Lets get real. 11 shots fired with a pause in between at an unarmed man. Sounds like a total psycho cop. They do exist. I think the unfortunate race baiting has people like you not seeing this clearly at this point. It's not about race. It's about a sociopath with a gun and badge. Well it will be up to a jury now. They will get ALL the facts and come to a fair conclusion.
I hope you are right. It's about a cop killing a person- white or black doesn't matter. Unfortunately, juries (see Simi Valley) want to believe "police are good", so they give them a HUGE benefit of the doubt.

If he were white, would you be so quick to think bad of him? I have no use for the multitude of inner-city black thugs, but you don't know this guy! He shoplifted- he wasn't a serial killer.

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.
