The reports of the LEO are consistent with the evidence. The victim was a danger to the officer and the public. I think that we are done here. If the people of the community want to express their grief in innapropriate ways they should be directed to return home. If they don't they should be subject to lawful arrest. I simply have no patience for the race baiting.

In this case, it sure made the cop stop strangling.
Do you really believe that story? It just doesn't make sense.

I dont trust law enforcement. I understand the not willing to believe the thin blue line. But credibility is lost when emotions take over for the facts. In this case the policeman was in the right.

According to the Ferguson police chief, this is not true.

If Wilson leaves them alone, he's not doing his job. His job is to catch criminals. And when he sees a person walking down the street, fitting the description of a suspect, you SHOULD stop them. It wasn't for nothing. But it is what you want to believe.
Again, that is not why they were stopped per the Ferguson police chief. He said it was because they were walking down the street "blocking traffic".

All of the forensic evidence shows your scenario to be an incorrect one. I know, you haven't read anything to convince you otherwise. But I don't know where you're getting your information - that could be the issue? How else would it be an across the board account, unless you are ignoring certain statements that don't fit your race baiting narrative.

CNN! The "news" station that fanned the flames of the Ferguson protests. The station that for weeks only reported biased stories.

Amazing.

I ignore anyone who doesn't speak proper English and reverts to "slang" to get their point across. It is a sign of lack of intelligence and the speaker should not be taken seriously.

The writing is on the wall. Another murderer will walk.

No justice.

Rest in peace, Michael Brown.

I don't understand how anybody can so blindly support M.B here. Are people so convinced that white police officers are so bad that nothing can convince them that this shooting might have been justified. Just because some police officers are racist just like any other person out there, doesn't mean that D.W was a racist. Even if he overreacted, doesn't make him a racist cop targeting M.B because he was black.

He was extremely brazen anyway, strong arming a convenience store clerk, then the defiant locals stormed it after the robbery appeared on TV, and destroyed it. It's a cultural thing.

Michael Brown was a least twice the size of the officer. When you are 6"4" 260 lbs, that is NOT unarmed.

So putting a person through the full ringer of the justice system isn't justice? What would be justice, a lunch mob hanging?

Don't give up yet. With Holder on the case you can be sure they'll do whatever possible to get Wilson to a trial.
