DOJ reports dont trump trials and Wilson is just another small chined wonder with a badge, a gun and a whole hillbilly department at his back.

Most reasonable people know a video recording would have showed Wilson for the milk weed coward he is.
The only coward I saw in this incident was the bully thug that strong armed a store clerk half his size. Fortunately he confronted the wrong man a few moments later and will no longer be able to bully his way through life. As for the officer, he was doing his job. The government stepped in and tried in each and every way to get some sort of conviction. Justice prevailed. Unfortunately his life has changed quite a bit but I suspect he will be fine.

Cops apprehend far more violent criminals every day without shooting them. Wilson feels he was doing his job. Some agree. I disagree and think he got scared far too easily to be a cop. I don't want him working as a cop where I live. We have a lot of mentally ill people on the streets here that can act erratically due to their internal struggles and he would probably want to shoot them all (although after one here he would be done). He did not need to kill Michael Brown to apprehend him.

Yes he did need to kill him. He was a rabid animal that needed to be put down. Society can't put up with that kind of behavior, nor should they put up with the views that you have that thinks punks should be allowed to assault people, cops no less, and get away with it.

Yeah, I can see you now in that car as Brown is going for your gun... cool as a jalapeno in a frying pan in the Sahara.

The difference is, he is not a cop.

If you were right, Brown would never have been shot. The lesson would have been learned with Trayvon Martin. George Zimmerman shot him and was aqcuited. He also will have employment issues for the rest of his life and he has at least $2 million in outstanding legal expenses. The shootings and assaults of black men and women continue despite the public and political backlash. If as you say officers are no longer doing their jobs and keeping law and order in the communities they are sworn to serve you'll have to show me some proof. Sandra Brown, Walter Scott and Sam Dubose all happened after Michael Brown...

He performed a very valuable service for the residents of Ferguson, saw how they turned on him with vengeance and has been changed as a person forever.

God bless him.

This is the piece of crap that mike brown was......if you haven't seen it, you should. If you DO watch it and still support mike brown, you're a vile human being. This is what officer Wilson was up against.

He wasn't some "sweet kid" like some want to pretend. He was a bully who didn't mind hurting weaker people. Did he deserve to die? No. The problem is that he took actions that created a risk of one day being killed, whether by the police or some frightened victim.
