In interviews with The Washington Post, sources said blood spatter evidence shows that Brown was heading toward the officer during their face-off, but analysis of the evidence did not reveal how fast Brown was moving.
Evidence supports officer
very interesting. 'snitches get stitches,' al sharpton gets a paycheck, and shop owners get looted and burned.

If Wilson comes out of this with no charges after the investigation/GJ/other are all complete, you can be sure that Sharpton, JJ and their ilk will be back--and it wouldn't surprise me if we see the LA riots after King all over again.

In this case, I really don't think it's Sharpton who is whipping up the frenzy. Not at all.

I've been paying particular attention to this and during the Ferguson October weekend (2 weeks ago?) the crowd did NOT want to hear from the older generation. At all.

The groundswell is being fanned by the Occupy movement - and the power of social media.

And there are A LOT of half truths and downright lies that are being forwarded & tweeted as if they are the gospel. For instance, after the county's autopsy report was "leaked", it was all over social media that Brown was shot 3 times in the head.

He was shot twice, but there were 3 holes - one was an exit wound.

That is just a tiny example of how things with a small grain of truth are being changed and sold as gospel.

It's a horrible game of telephone if you ask me.

And honestly, the youth and those participants/protestors are totally being used as puppets. They think their eyes are wide open ... but they can't see the strings in front of their face.

Soon things will be back to normal. Wilson will be back on the street protecting the public from robbers, sharpton and Jackson will be off to their next tv interview, and ferguson will be back to rioting.

from the WaPo story linked by chuckity:

Quote:
Jurors have also been provided with the St. Louis County autopsy report, including toxicology test results for Brown that show he had levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana. The Post’s sources said the levels in Brown’s body may have been high enough to trigger hallucinations.
how high would that be, i wonder...

I taught my kids to respect law enforcement.
If there is an issue, handle it in court.

If kids are taught to disrespect, disobey and defy
the police, this kinda stuff is bound to happen.

btw wasn't this the third or fourth autopsy done on Mike Brown? The one specifically ordered by DOJ Eric Holder? After the umpteenth autopsy does Brown's body any skin and bones left to pick through? Seriously, let the thug rest in peace so that Ferguson can finally move on to become the next Gary, Indiana.

I always laugh whenever Brown's friends/family refer to him as a "gentle giant". Who are they kidding?

Ironic, considering what was done to blacks a hundred years ago. Now they want vigilante justice, the facts and the law be darned.

Of course he was a threat to his community, do you think that day was the first time he bullied and robbed? He had gotten away with that kind of thing for a long time, and his time ran out. Now he has reformed..!
Why do I think the community was outraged? Because it was a while cop so they had an excuse to go running wild in the streets and loot and rob. I'll bet a very small % of the looters even knew who he was, but they knew where the free stuff was.
Darrin Wilson is a hero who life has been ruined by a bunch of racists.
