Call me crazy, but when I toke up, I'm not inclined to act like a belligerent fool, steal cigars, rough up the store owner, and then try to charge a cop! No, I'm too busy being chill. But that's just me. My point being, do we know that he was high on weed at the time? Remember THC unlike other substances does stay in your system long after the intoxicating effects wear off.
“The detection of THC in the postmortem blood of Michael Brown really indicates his recent use of marijuana (within a few hours) and that he may or may not have been impaired at the time of his death,” Alfred Staubus, a consultant in forensic toxicology at the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, told the Post-Dispatch.
But how can we expect minorities to take police seriously when they never ever are assumed to be guilty ever in any situation?
Not in Mississippi burning the murder of the civil rights workers in freedom summer . Sheriff Rainey was among those acquitted. Two of the defendants, E.G. Barnett, a candidate for sheriff, and Edgar Ray Killen, a local minister, had been strongly implicated in the murders by witnesses, but the jury came to a deadlock on their charges and the Federal prosecutor decided not to retry them.

Not in Emet Till case
Not in Rodney King
Not in the Zimmerman case
Not in the ferguson case
It is an endless pattern
It is a sad world
Please don't lump together real civil rights issues with the fake ones we have now. The Emmitt Till case commands respect.
Don't buy into the hype, people died for real reasons and for change back then, now they are just dying for no good reason and people have nothing to do and need a cause. The media is lying and the POTUS wants racial divide. We are in different times.
She sold cakes at flea markets and scrimped and saved to open this business. She opened it just a couple of months before the shooting. I've seen her interviewed before, explaining that she is a single mom and if she doesn't open her store in the morning, she can't feed her kids at night. You can watch this interview with her today and see her utter sadness. The headline says she's staying in Ferguson, but in the interview she says it's because she has put all of her savings into her business and she can't afford to move somewhere else.
She is a black woman who chose to build a business in the community and her business was destroyed because people are rioting over a thug getting shot. Obama, Holder, Sharpton, CNN, et al helped stoke these flames and they are partially responsible for this. And people here who are acting like idiots over the gj decision, you are NOT helping. My heart breaks watching her interview.
The police officer let his gun do his talking for him; once he regained control of it, that is!
"As he is coming towards me, I tell, keep telling him to get on the ground, he doesn't. I shoot a series of shots. I don't know how many I shot, I just know I shot it," he said." - Darren Wilson
......
"At this point I start backpedaling and again, I tell him get on the ground, get on the ground, he doesn't. I shoot another round of shots," he said. - Darren Wilson
Sorry but ^^^^ account does not make sense to me, especially if Brown had already been shot and
knew he did not have a gun to shoot back.
Now, if Brown was on PCP and thought he was the Incredible Hulk, maybe, but
they have not released the toxicology reports to date, for me to know that.
Smoking just pot would not give you that kind of illusion.
And Wilson is chasing, and then pedaling backwards, all the while shooting. What is he, Yosemite Sam
Like I said, something does not pass the smell test for me.
We know at least 9 jurors would have had to agree to indict. I'm just curious how close to 9 they
got...
