My daughter had a skull base tumor surgery and was in and out in one day. Time in the hospital does not denote his injuries. Especially these days.

None of the witnesses are qualified to determine whether Mike Brown posed a threat to Officer Wilson.

You didn't answer my question. He suffered a serious injury if the reports coming out now are true. Not to mention that that punch or any further punches could have killed him. People die in fist fights from punches to the head.

Is your position that the officer is required to keep risking the suspect breaking his bones rather than fire his weapon?

Very true. I was shocked to learn my aunt was diagnosed with blood clots in her lungs and released with blood thinning meds in less than 24 hours.

Does it really matter whether they are protestors or not. Anyone is free to call for Officer Wilson dead.
Not like anyone is going to be able to kill him and take that into court as a defense.

They are exercising their First Amendment Rights and while it may be distasteful and they would appear less like blood thirsty animals if they made up signs calling for murder 1 and death penalty, the Constitution does not require you to be literate and tasteful to speak your mind.

No, they're not. It's called inciting violence.
