Na it wont play out like that...all ive been hearing on mainstream news is how "when you watch what is going on in ferguson missouri it "FEELS LIKE AMERICA HAS DECLARED WAR ON BLACK PEOPLE". Even if the cop is completely innocent and completely exonerated due to 100% evidence it doesnt matter. No one will care or remember about what really happened. the damage has already been done. Pretty much everyone who matters aka has a voice is on browns side aka the black people who are "justifiably against the white power structure of this country"
I have a sense that already happened.
Holder and the Governor got involved and replaced the current majority White LEs with a more "diverse" force led by a Black man.
And they let the looters loot last night. Rocks and bottles thrown at the police were allowed.
It was up to the town to protect the local businesses.
The law did a complete 360 to appease the outrage.
No one cares now. They looted the store that Brown robbed as if getting revenge on the owner for calling in the robbery.
The Ferguson community of color has chosen to rally behind lawlessness which indicates their disdain for our laws. Instead of taking up a collection to pay for civil and legal legal action on the part of the family, they are executing vigilante justice.
This loathsome behavior is generating the contempt of all law abiding citizens of this country.
A slight correction, the first store looted/burned to the ground was a QT mistakenly identified as the store Brown liberated those poor Swisher Sweets from.
Last night the store he really robbed was looted.
That's what I meant: post video release the looters went straight to the store Brown robbed. Almost as if to say "This is what you get for calling 911 after being robbed and assaulted".
Didn't know exactly what it was gonna be, but something kept telling me the police out there been playing it too calm and collected, like they got trump cards under their sleeves. Otherwise they would have at least been creating the illusion that they were throwing the cop under the bus and creating separation. The fact that they standing behind dude publicly, means that they're pretty sure that they won't be made fools of when everything comes to light. They're also playing this perfectly, so far.
First they instigated a riot on the first day of protest, because they knew that at the very least, the opportunistic guys would loot. Then you saw footage of dudes breaking into sneaker stores all the next day, basically calling into question the motives of a lot of ALL of the protesters, even though it wasn't all of them rioting and looting.
Then they basically let the media play the "Mike Brown was so innocent" card for almost a week, to let it seep into the minds of the public and have that be the narrative. Then they sucker-punch everybody with a video of him robbing.
The most important part of that video is not that he was stealing (although that part is definitely being used to debunk the "Mike Brown was so innocent" narrative). The most important part is when he put hand on that clerk. That was a show of spontaneous aggression/violence. The same type of spontaneous aggression/violence that they're gonna say he exerted towards that cop when he thought he was caught. That's all it's gonna take to create reasonable doubt in the minds of a jury which has no video account of the incident to view.
Even the fact that they made sure to make it clear the cop "Had no idea Mike Brown was a robbery suspect" was well played. It stops people from being able to say "Oh, so he was killed because a cop thought he stole some cigars". That was deaded on sight by saying they aint even know it was him.
Then on top of that, the cop still aint released a statement yet. And I'm sure there's not gonna be one until the forensic evidence comes back. They're gonna make sure that his account of what happened matches the forensic evidence perfectly. Then on top of that, if there's really medical records from that day that show the cop had a concussion or any type of injuries, it's over.
Yeah.. It's over
You mean tailor the evidence....yes, the police show every sign of doing that.

The FBI and DOJ are involved. And they will keep the "sensivity to Blacks" in mind.
They are bending over backwards here to appease.
Johnson was part of that robbery and nothing will happen to him.
This will be a PC investigation with a PC result. I have no doubt about that.
But I don't think the police officer will be charged with murder and executed which is what the people seem to want.
Doesn't matter. He still had his hands in the air when he was shot dead. Nothing else matters. He was not a threat to the officer or others regardless of what he had been doing.
You don't know this....His witness was his accomplice in the strong arm robbery that took place minutes earlier....Why would you believe he would be truthful?

but they justify it by implying that this isnt just for mike brown but for the "overall hopelessness that we feel as a people in this nation" or theyll imply that they need to rob people to survive and you shouldnt judge us for that...theyll come up with something like that to justify why the culture praises recklessness
Was he wearing a sign that said I AM UNARMED while he was running away from a police officer? Oh yeah and after he scuffled with the officer at his car? Guess what happens when you fight a cop and then run away? Cop is going to assume you are fully armed and loaded ready to take him out. Guess what cop does? Shoots you first. The fact the he was unarmed has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING. It's a moot point after the fact.
So if you have a white teenage son who gets pulled over, is over the legal limit for alcohol, so he has committed a crime, when the cop tries to cuff him, he panic and runs. You would be OK with him being shot to death in a flurry of bullets?
