Were you there?

Isn't there a presumption of innocence in our legal system? Why are you and so many others convicting the officer without knowing the facts?

There are enough known facts (the robbery, Brown and his friend disrupting traffic by walking down the middle of the street and causing a ruckus) to call into question the "eyewitness" testimony of friends of Brown, and which also would make understandable the officers fear for his own life. Brown was not a small "boy" as we could see from the store video, where he roughed up the owner.

Also, the officers injuries could not have been self inflicted, as some are trying to assert. I think the officers account is far more credible. This kid was a thug. Period. He was no "choir boy."

The very nature of recruiting is seeking out the type of candidates you want as an employer.
I won't attempt to talk to logic with you for an extended period of time, but the fact is, many of the "Black" locals can't pass a background check to get on the police force in Ferguson, Missouri. Officer Wilson was doing his job to get someone obstructing traffic out of the street (so he didn't risk getting run over) and was confronted by a violent human being with a massive attitude. He suffered great facial injuries before shooting and killing Michael Brown. Do me a favor and stop acting like Michael Brown was a good guy who was unjustly killed because he wasn't.

did you happen to see the Ferguson patrol cars ? Many of them are dented and you could see rust which meant they had been dented for a while.
Too funny......what do you think the current fiasco which could have likely been moderated if they had a more representative force is costing them?

Are you saying all the looting and rioting is because there are not enough blacks on the police force?

Having been in the position to have hired people my experience is that the work ethic has changed. It doesn't have the same commitment that it did a generation ago. The employer commitment has changed as well.

That's not what CNN is reporting.

They're saying that an unconfirmed source said that it wasn't fractured - but there was still injury.

Another unconfirmed source said it WAS fractured.

We'll have to wait and see.
