Isn't it called innocent until proven guilty ?

Should the investigation and Grand Jury not happen ?
Should we just go on the word of Brown's friend Johnson and convict the cop of murder ?
Is that what you are calling for ?

Anyone with half a brain should understand the precarious nature of police work. When your fighting for your life you are in fear for your life. An officer even with all his training is still just a human being with faults. We have had similar shootings in my small state where the suspect was white... I don't recall rioting and stealing and chaos..

There is no need for rioting in the streets and robbing and stealing. This only supports negative opinions of the black community by many.

When a doctor makes a mistake and a patient dies or a seriously injured we don't go to the hospital and throw bricks. We sue the hospital and doctor, we demand that better more efficient procedures be implemented so other mistakes don't happen...... and this from an institution who's sole purpose is to make money..... not serve the public!
Well now that you mention it.

Jaywalking.


Now what was Brown under arrest for?

Exactly. Brown very well may have been turning around to surrender. However he made a sudden movement and this probably caused the officer to fire the barrage of bullets. He had already been assaulted by him, there was no telling what else he was capable of.

At the very least you'd think the pro-Mike folks would at least concede that this isn't about race but they can't even do that.

If the grand jury finds Wilson innocent maybe Holder can pacify the crowds with a law across the land that White people can't be cops anymore. Maybe that will make the people happy if they can't get their blood revenge.

Hey..they watch all those CSI shows so they "know" it can happen.

If Darren Wilson were to walk down the street in Ferguson, I have no doubt the mobs would execute him on the spot. That is what they want...a dead cop. Revenge.

Are you saying Brown committed a crime? If so, could you identify the statute in Missouri?

The officer's eye was fractured? No wonder he fired so many shots. I see he left the state for now.
Assault? Theft? Assault on a police officer?

While all this crap is going on, what about the kids who will miss school for the second week? Are those ''seeking justice'' at all concerned with the children?

Maybe those kids that were chanting ''hands up, don't shoot'',
should be saying ''Don't steal, don't walk in the street?''

hands up don't shoot on Livestream

They'll just go to school 2 weeks longer.
