And other eye witnesses claimed he was shot in the back, which was proven by multiple autopsies to not be the case.

But, leave it to Huffpo to make it sound like some grand conspiracy.

That's the point I am making; how is it possible that ANY of us have any idea what happened on that day? It's not, and celebrating some kind of triumph of justice last night is just ignorance at its finest.

Witness: Michael Brown Said 'I Give Up' Before Being Shot

Your just not going to listen to anyone are you? Would this be a person whose accounts by forensic evidence was discredited? Is this one of the people whose account distinctly contrasted officer wilson AND the other witness accounts that said Brown was charging like a football player? Of course not. Its because you have an agenda and if I was guessing are as racist as they come but only directed to the Caucasian persuasion. But then again, I guess because I'm white and tend to agree with officer wilson's accounts, multiple other eye witness accounts, and forensic evidence that is directly opposed to this that I'm the racist bigot.

Speaking of evidence...video is always wonderful. And Brown's step-father inciting the burning of Ferguson is way classy.

I won't embed the video as there is seriously potty-mouth language involved. Watch at your own risk.

ETA: I see Golfballs posted the article. This is the raw video.

After watching this, it's easy to understand how her son ended up in that situation. Just another thug waiting for a bullet.

The Mayor of Ferguson is getting ready to have a press conference to discuss last night's unrest.

Awesome response....I see you are well versed in ignoring facts. Carry on with your racist sentiments toward the white officer

You are missing the point and also proceeding to insult me for no reason.

I posted the link to prove that so many of the witnesses have completely different stories. The grand jury did not indict because they didn't know exactly what happened either. Guess what? Neither do you.

I believe justice has been served. The predetermined "justice" you were looking for didn't happen.

You seem to have fallen for a bunch of lies and I'd be more mad at those telling the lies than the folks who didn't believe them in the first place. Forget your preconceptions and read through the evidence and testimony with an open mind.

O'Donnell has taken hackery to a new level.

His twisting of the Prosecutor's "need to ensure this never happens again" as odd since apparently the prosecutor doesn't think anything wrong happened was insane brilliance

In my opinion, the current situation involves four key narratives, two of which are specific to the incident, two of which are generalizations based on it. There are others, but to me these are the main ones, and what happens is people mix and match these to suit their own purposes:

1) The officer was mad at Brown and shot him in anger, rather than self-defense or as a lawful effort to apprehend him.

2) The officer was justified in firing because Brown had attacked him, and it reasonably would have appeared he was about to do it again.

3) The incident is emblematic of the mistreatment of the black community, via profiling and excessive use of force, by the police, which are predominantly white.

4) The incident is emblematic of the failure of the black community on the whole to come to grips with the criminality within their own community and particularly the youth.


Everyone is picking and choosing facts, statements, and actions in the other community that buttresses their already long-held views and resentments. We are getting nowhere, and will get nowhere until both sides sit down and admit that the other has a point.

uh, yes it is. we have the physical evidence which tells the truth. forget the conflicting eyewitness accounts, whats left? the evidence. the evidence says not guilty. We do know what happened, we have proof (see any of the links on the evidence) :banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2:

again you are confusing evidence and eye witness accounts.
