What struck me was the total objectivity of it all.
They reported what happened as it happened.
And when they recapped it was just the facts that are known.

Vice (Tim Pool) are the ones that covered the OWS protests as well.
The independents today are the real news.

See here we go again. Brown did not "fracture his face". If the report is to be believed, Brown punched Wilson in the eye (obviously at very close contact) and fractured the tiny bones around Wilson's eye socket.

I swear, if we took 20 people on here and gave the first person one sentence about an incident
and had them rephrase it to the next person, I'd really be curious what the final sentence would
end up like.

Nothing like rearranging the descriptive....

It's beginning to look like those who wanted to make it about Brown as opposed to the big picture are going to be left holding an empty bag.

Is it White orientated because us whites help our kids with their homework and keep them safe? And teach some discipline? I think the Asian parents are doing a pretty good job of making the schools Asian orientated as well.

We haven't seen anything yet. This situation has the power to get very ugly at a national level. If the officer is released from all liability, you can expect riots in every major urban area. It will be a rioters and looters field day. Hopefully, they'll keep the destruction in their own part of town as they usually tend to do.

Depends where one has their business. I once worked for a Telecom company that had sites all over the country and often times we had to go to them late at night to do upgrades. You would not believe some of the places they had sites and let's just say it is the same time I got my carry permit, being in some areas at 3 am is not a good idea without being armed. We actually had one guy get his truck stolen while he was at a site, and the truck was behind a 10ft fence with razor wire on top and a locked gate, they simply cut the lock off, stuck a gun in his face and took his truck, he has since not gone to one alone or unarmed again. There are areas all over the country that are simply not worth the risk to put in a business, sadly that harms those honest citizens that are stuck living there but one has to look for their own best interests.

Where are the reports now that Brown punched the officer??


Are there unnamed witnesses from unnamed sources that verify this as well??



Again not saying its not true, just being objective.


Also, if Brown was punching the officer (meaning he was within 5 feet) when the officer 1st fired, wouldn't there be residue on his body?

I know we'll have to wait to see what's found on his clothes, but just trying to renact the scene in my head.
