They are having civil disobedience training today in preparation for tomorrow's, "Series of Actions" in St. Louis and Ferguson. They role played rushing a police station in a church parking lot so that might be one of their plans.

According to a report from Fox News tonight.....There's been 17 protesters arrested in a St.Louis convenience store parking lot near the scene of a recent police shooting of 18 year old Vonderrit Myers. The arrests were for unlawful assembly. Police posted on twitter that protesters were "attempting to storm" the business which was a QT. Police also said that the protesters were "throwing rocks at the police" and "arrests have been made for continued illegal behavior". Police have said there were no reports of injuries & no property damaged.

Watched it live, to be fair there were no rocks thrown from the stream I watched.

Ok, but what's the answer/plan? What are they bringing to the table as an answer? What do they expect to gain by rioting? What does Sharpton, Jackson propose as the answer? It's one thing to raise hell for a cause, but it's another to raise hell without a cause. Is there a leader amongst them? Someone with a detailed plan on how to fix the problem?

Frustrating to me that nobody asks these questions when they're out there with their cameras.. It's a really obvious question to me.

Can we agree on the facts?

Wilson shot him after he robbed a store and attacked the officer. Do any of you believe Wilson cared what color he was? Would any of you acted differently?

Is there any account that doesn't have him shooting at a fleeing suspect? Not sure. Just asking, because that is a detail that is way more relevant than the store incident. Did he actually try to surrender, as several witnesses claim? These are important details that are under dispute.

There is video of a man watching/recording it live and the person holding the camera says Brown doubled back and was advancing on the officer when the officer opened fire.

I've only seen 1 such acct. There are also several accts of him fleeing, then turning around and raising his hands.
Having not been there, I can not say which is true. except for the eye witnesses, it's all speculation based on which accts you believe.

The accounts of him "surrendering" are from his partner in crime and construction workers who came forward almost a month later once they got their stories straight. The eyewitnesses to him charging the officer weren't speaking to the media and just happened to have their conversation picked up on a recording right after it happened.

It shouldn't be that hard to use a little critical thinking and figure which event actually occurred.

There is only one acct by someone not connected to the officer that has Brown approaching the officer.

What "crime" did he commit?
There are 3 separate accounts of officer shooting while he was running away. 2 from neighbors, one from someone going to her car.

Per the letter of the law when Mike Brown pushed that store clerk and stole the cigars he committed robbery in the second degree which is a felony in Missouri.

Robbery in the second degree.

569.030. 1. A person commits the crime of robbery in the second degree when he forcibly steals property.

2. Robbery in the second degree is a class B felony.

Theft and assault

Also if he was still walking towards the officer there was no surrender

Not Mike Brown. The guy that was with him who took no part in any of this. The same guy that was just referred to as his "partner in crime".

The coroner's report show the bullets entering from the front, so there's no way Brown was running or walking away from the officer

All accts have him turning around to face the officer. The discrepancies have to do with whether he turned and raised his hands, or turned and charged at the officer. Either way, the bullets would enter from the front.

the angle of the bullet that killed him has Brown head down rushing the officer, unless the officer was 8 ft tall

Ok. If I'm correct is is VolNation. A football site. What would you do if you saw A. J. Johnson drop his head down 35 yards away from the person he was trying to hit? Who the h@&l rushes anybody from that distance?
