Thank you, there was a time in my life I defended these people, I felt sorry for them, and raised my son to respect them...but no more....respect has to be earned...there was also a time when I feared talking out against them due to law suits...well yanno what, it's time we all stand up to them and sue them right back...it's time this all stop....I'm sick to death of hearing about slavery....they rape and kill their own and rob from each other, rob sick old men and women? Michael Brown was a thug...indeed, and a thug gets worse with time...it all starts out one little thing at a time...and then gets worse and worse, if we dont' start standing up to this and all the other criminal actions that are taking place in this country, then we ourselves are just as guilty....for allowing it...
What is that saying about a man doing nothing...well, it's time....

yanno what, it doesn't and shouldn't matter, this has nothing to do with this case...and the media who are reporting on this are simply fueling the situation or trying to....
Regardless, what these people are doing in Fergason is wrong, wrong, wrong.....

The angle and trajectory of the bullets is going to be very important.

One of the bullet holes is to the right thumb pad, which would make sense if a bullet was fired at Brown when his hands were facing his shooter.

The other three bullet injuries to the right arm run up the inside surface of the arm. It would seem that the angle of entry and trajectory of those bullets would be quite different depending on whether his arms were up in the air or if he were running back towards the cop.

It's very counter-intuitive and strange for anyone to run towards a person shooting a gun at you. That's a battle anyone would know they are going to lose even if they think they can fling themselves on the cop and wrestle with him.

what I saw Eyewitness News do yesterday, made me want to vomit...seriously....they are fueling these people on purpose to keep it going, at all costs, and it doesn't matter to them if someone is hurt or killed....they keep reporting lies to get these people all heated up....


I belonged to a predominately black church, at one time, and they to would be disgusted with this...but they don't and didn't go out into their communities and talk up against it...so, how are they right, and how are we as American's right for allowing them to continue to do this....?

No more, I won't stick up for someone who isn't going to go out there and work for themselves....
it is time you all pick yourselves up and do something respectable...and you want to glorify your Lord, then do what is right and stop this nonesense, your making fools out of everyone....
EVERYONE! Yourselves, your children, your church, your neighborhoods, everyone...your effecting so many other lives in such a negative way....

Going to sleep. Looks like this isn't over.
“This one here looks like his head was bent downward,” Baden said, indicating the wound at the very top of Mr. Brown’s head. “It can be because he’s giving up, or because he’s charging forward at the officer.”

One thing it's not consistent with is your witness statements that Brown was standing with his hands up. Maybe now you can find another witness who'll claim Brown was on his knees and the cop walked over and shot him on the top of his head.

I just saw a prominent forensic examiner interviewed on CNN. He said that the downward trajectory of the bullets to the head could result as Brown was beginning to collapse and fall forward, or from "charging like a bull." But he said the second scenario was less likely than the first.

The closest witness, Darien Johnson, said that Brown was beginning to get to his knees which would be preceded by a downward movement of the head. Just try to get on your knees yourself, your head goes downward, especially if you are simultaneously trying to raise your arms, so you can't use your arms on the ground to help you balance.

...or the person was looking down at the ground. It isn't rocket science that the neck bends.

It's unfortunate that when something happens, these two clowns find their way to a camera.
Yea they never help anything, but this situation and others like it are getting on my nerves.

Guess what??

You cannot strongarm a store owner than resist arrest when pursued by a LEO and expect things to not escalate. Unfortunately, when you do that, you could die.

Natural selection took care of Michael Brown and now the mental midgets want to whine about their "gentle giant".

I see the National Guard was needed to control the criminals in Ferguson. So will Eric Holder publish the names of soldiers forced to use force to restore peace?
