I find it insane that people suggest its ok to shoot a fleeing suspect who hadn't killed anyone or hurt anyone.

Sorry, but police have a higher standard. If this 6 foot tall guy was walking or running away, call it in. Don't shoot him. You don't shoot fugitives just because they are running. This isn't cool hand luke

Thank goodness it's not summer or the rioting could go on forever.
They need a major snow storm that will send them scurrying back to what ever hole they crawled out of.

Officer Wilson I pray he can now find peace and move on with his life.

As far as the testimony, I think it certainly proves that Wilson should find another line of work. He is much too fearful to be a cop. He stated that he felt like a "five-year-old boy with Hulk Hogan" and that "Brown looked like a demon." Seriously? Not a cop I would want protecting my community.

Well, that didn't happen in this case. He didn't shoot a fleeing suspect. He shot a suspect that was charging him.

Gosh was just watching the CNN live feed. What a mess. The black culture lost friends last night. What a bundle of animals.

Obviously the GJ after considered all the evidence believed this to be true.

He wasn't shot while fleeing.

Every time I watch the footage of those businesses burning, I get so damn mad. We don't have enough black owned businesses as it is and these idiots burn and loot them?? Those business owners did nothing at all to deserve this and now they have had everything burned and lost because some idiots couldn't handle some bad news. So damn mad!

Six years of speaking eloquently. Two more to go.

Interesting how he only address situations that affect the Black community from the outside but never from within.
