One of the issues raised by the community leaders and protestors was their distrust of the local authorities. The additional autopsy by the DOJ and their promise to keep an eye on the investigation addresses those concerns.

Hey, it works both ways. It seems to me that one of the main things that has slowed down the Brown supporters/police bashers is the fact that the autopsy results show he was not shot in the back. This is important for many obvious reasons, not the least of which is that it immediately calls into question the accuracy of the friend's description of what occurred.

Can you imagine what would have happened had only the local autopsy been done, showing no shots in the back? The rioters would be claiming that it was faked, a cover-up. With DOJ doing one, with Baden doing one, and showing the same thing, it just gets us all past at least the one side-show issue.

And, as I say, it makes you question the friend's account, since he is evidently objectively proven wrong by this result. Holder going down there buttresses the fact of oversight from the outside, and removes just one more issue from the dispassionate and reasoned approach that must be taken to the evidence as it emerges.

Showing the strong arm robbery to the whole world probably helped thin the crowd as well. That and there was a rumor that the welfare checks couldn't be delivered safely due to the crowds and the violence.

I'm on my way to Utah right now. I'm throwing premium crackers at the police, and I can throw them for some distance and accurately.l. I'm going to bust in a Starbucks and get all jacked up on Ventis first, then me and my boys are going ramshack the grocery store. I'm in charge of veggies, salad and salad dressings.

The kid didn't do a damn thing. Tried to surrender. He was standing on the corner with a gun and the racist black cop told him to put the gun down. The kid said, "**** you mother****er, I'm going to kill your black ass", and for no reason, the cop shot him.

People are ticked. Resort spending in Tahoe is down and families are angry. Buddy of mine and his 5 wives have said enough is enough. The main issue is that they don't sound as angry since there's no cussing so chants kindof suck.

I heard all the athletic stores that have been hit and Utah still have almost a full rack of basketball shoes, but all the gold toe dress socks in town are gone
