Brown didn't know that though. He thought he was about to get popped.

Acting like thugs and walking in groups into a store, taking whatever you want and threatening violence or even death if someone tries to stop you, that's typical black youth behavior as ween during the "protests". Compounding the issue is that black "leaders" who are actually just mosquitoes sucking the blood from the black communities excuse it and focus on what ever facade of injustice they can drum up to give themselves more spotlight.

So randomly shooting a black person means you have a great chance of hitting a criminal?

[Chomag]

Not saying anyone deserves to die, but this does show that he is not the sweet innocent teen that just wants to go to collage that the protesters and family keep gabbing about. It's also not unreasonable that Brown might have thought the officer was there because of the robbery and that does change the scenario even if the cop didn't know he was a suspect.

Can't deny DMC's still funny, tho', breh.

[spurraider21]

I know I say some foul shit on here (often), but in all honesty:

I gotta feel bad for the black folks that rallied around a cause they fervently felt impacted by, just to see their efforts discounted because of the news that broke. Young black males get pestered and harassed daily for no reason -- I've seen it first-hand back in high school when I used to be more "down" -- and now people are going to try and argue it's "cause they're criminals, more often than not."

There's still a very real divide in this country, and racism is just as prevalent as it ever was, on both sides, and it doesn't look to be passing anytime soon.

Accurate. It's more typical within impoverished areas though. Don't have access to education + safety constantly threatened + less personal opportunity = higher chance of turning to crime.

I argue the statistics, because that's what's valid in a case like this. Not "he said, she said". Actual trends that science has shown to be consistent. And those trends are completely absent of race for the most part.

Police chief confirmed that the cop had no idea Brown was a robbery suspect when he came across him, and told him to get out of the street.

Unless you're insisting that jaywalking is a form of criminality worthy of an immediate death sentence.

And the cop's name is... Darren Wilson. :lol

rofl!

[Trill Clinton]

Fair enough.

It is difficult to believe that a cop would just murder a kid for no reason - so I always wait to hear the other side's version - but I guess it could happen. The cop could just be no better than a common criminal.

I would still wait for all the facts to come out though.

That's not what is being reported on CNN. They are saying he was responding to a "strong arm robbery" of a convenience store and even showed videos of the robbery.

So I don't get what all the uproar is about.

[Koolaid_Man]

:lol...so the "kid" is some big, violent ape that is also a thief? That cop should be given a medal for the favor he did for society.

I'm sure your daughter is gonna be fucking one of the big violent apes pretty soon if not already getting tagged...it's the law averages big Dawg ;-)

Why would you order a strong arm robbery suspect who is dangerous onto the sidewalk and then pass them by in your squad car? Why would you let a strong armed robbery suspect close enough to you to grab your sidearm?

The CHIEF, while being interviewed by the press not more than a couple hours ago, JUST confirmed that the officer was unaware of any robbery/theft/etc when he confronted Brown about simply walking in the street.

yeah, but for all Brown knew, they were onto him for the robbery he committed, which could prompt unexpected behavior.

i'm not making assumptions on what went down, just laying out what a guy might have felt at the time. at this moment, all we have are cops backing up cops and brown's friends backing up brown

[xmas1997]

Well, I listened to it and no such thing was mentioned.

It seems to me if something like that would have happened then all news sources would be all over it.

No one is. Maybe you misunderstood.

[RD2191]

Do cops have dash cameras that record what goes on inside the vehicle?

[spurraider21]

Do caps have dash cameras that record what goes on inside the vehicle?
usually the dash cam faces out the windshield, not the other way, iirc. they might have a 2nd one like those taxi shows

although if they had such a camera im sure we'd have heard about it by now

[RD2191]

Yeah, I know that. I just figured with all the recent rise on accusations on cops maybe they'd get some that face the inside of the car. :lol

I didn't. The chief said as much when asked, and I'm much more inclined to believe his unrehearsed response in the moment than an incident report that was JUST released after almost a week's time.

Oh, I'm certainly not trying to blindly defend Brown. This guy certainly wasn't this "lovable teddy bear" that people were hoping to root for initially.

If he responded to that as reported, it doesn't mean stopping Michael Brown was related to it. It would be a wierd coincidence but why would the police chief lie about it in that way when the opposite would help the cop.

[angrydude]

I don't care if Brown got into a fistfight with the cop earlier. Once he turned to run away that cop is unjustified in shooting him in the back.

Just like if someone breaks into your house then runs away, if you then chase him down the street and shoot him in the back it is murder.

One less black, one less shitty cop I say we all win here.

[SnakeBoy]

It's not just a racial issue. It's also a, "hey, why are our cops geared like a division of our armed forces" issue.

Two completely separate issues. Brown's shooting may or may not have been justified, there just aren't enough facts to determine that yet but either way it was the action of a single officer. The transition to a paramilitary police force is a completely unrelated issue and has been occurring for decades. They have been used against Americans regardless of race. I see no reason why it will stop since most only oppose such tactics when it is useful to their political ideology/views, otherwise they are deemed appropriate.

[SupremeGuy]

So what are black people going to do now? Just pretend that he wasn't some thug piece of shit that robbed a store earlier? Fuck, that's why everyone finds these "protests" to be so disingenuous and full of shit. It's really telling of a community who they choose to make a martyr.

This is by no means standard media protocol, but it happens frequently, deliberately or not. News reports often headline claims from police or other officials that appear unsympathetic or dismissive of black victims. Other times, the headlines seem to suggest that black victims are to blame for their own deaths, engaging in what critics sometimes allege is a form of character assassination. When contrasted with media portrayal of white suspects and accused murderers, the differences are more striking. News outlets often choose to run headlines that exhibit an air of disbelief at an alleged white killer's supposed actions. Sometimes, they appear to go out of their way to boost the suspect's character, carrying quotes from relatives or acquaintances that often paint even alleged murderers in a positive light.

Here are a few examples:



WHITE SUSPECT
http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1963404/thumbs/o-SUSPECT-1-570.jpg?6 (http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1963404/thumbs/o-SUSPECT-1-570.jpg?6)

That's how the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal chose to present (http://lubbockonline.com/stories/022110/loc_565688235.shtml) the story of Amy Bishop, a former college professor who eventually pleaded guilty (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/12/amy-bishop-guilty_n_1876858.html) to killing three colleagues and wounding three others at a faculty meeting in 2010.

And that's the headline AL.com ran (http://www.al.com/news/montgomery/index.ssf/2014/04/montgomerys_latest_homicide_vi.html) about the shooting death of a 25-year-old black man in Alabama earlier this year.

This is how the Staten Island Advance covered (http://www.silive.com/southshore/index.ssf/2010/10/son_in_staten_island_murders_w.html) the case of Eric Bellucci, a mentally ill New York man who allegedly killed his parents.

Meanwhile, NBC News ran this headline (http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/03/26/10872124-trayvon-martin-was-suspended-three-times-from-school) during ongoing coverage of the Trayvon Martin killing.

This Fox News headline (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/06/12/oregon-school-shooting-suspect-fascinated-with-guns-but-was-devoted-mormon-his/) quoted friends shocked that 15-year-old Jared Michael Padgett had entered his high school heavily armed and killed a classmate, injured a teacher and took his own life.

But in Florida, this headline in the Ledger (http://www.theledger.com/article/20140310/NEWS/140319988) focused on a police account that made the death of a black 19-year-old seem somehow expected, or at least unsurprising.

In the wake of the mass shooting in Santa Barbara, California, earlier this year, the Whittier Daily News offered a headline (http://www.whittierdailynews.com/general-news/20140525/santa-barbara-shooting-suspect-was-soft-spoken-polite-a-gentleman-ex-principal-says) showing one man's disbelief that ****** Rodger could havecommitted such a crime.

Earlier this month, the New York Daily News ran this headline (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/police-kill-man-air-rifle-walmart-ohio-article-1.1895479#ixzz3AHJv8HRX), carrying comments by the Ohio attorney general that appeared to defend police after killing a black man at a Walmart (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/11/john-crawford-iii_n_5669715.html).

This was the headline given to an Associated Press story at Mlive.com (http://www.mlive.com/news/us-world/index.ssf/2012/03/ohio_shooting_suspect_tj_lane.html) about an Ohio teen who later pleaded guilty to a school shooting in which three students were killed and twowere wounded.

But when an unarmed father of two was killed by a police officer while entering a vehicle that contained his own children, the Los Angeles Times served up this claim (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/marine-shot-.html) from officials.

WHITE SUSPECT

In 2008, 18-year-old Ryan Schallenberger was accused of plotting to bomb his South Carolina high school. Ohio's Chronicle Telegram wanted readers to know (http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2008/04/21/straight-a-student-plots-to-bomb-high-school/) that he was a straight-A student, running an AP story with this headline.

And according to the Omaha World-Herald (http://www.omaha.com/news/shooting-victim-had-many-run-ins-with-law/article_867c8b61-9a39-5b14-8c88-f5323058ff29.html), this is what you needed to know about Julius B. Vaughn, a 19-year-old gunned down in Omaha last year:

Kerri Ann Heffernan was charged in 2012 in a string of bank robberies and stores. This headline at Wicked Local (http://www.wickedlocal.com/x1826358906/Bank-robbery-suspect-was-outstanding-Blue-Hills-student) wonders how she'd come so far from her days as a smart high school student.

Of 22-year-old black man Deon Sanders' killing in Ohio earlier this year, WKBN's headline (http://wkbn.com/2014/06/18/police-warren-shooting-victim-was-gang-member/) said "gang member," and that apparently was enough.

Sometimes, they appear to go out of their way to boost the suspect's character, carrying quotes from relatives or acquaintances that often paint even alleged murderers in a positive light.

Here are a few examples:



WHITE SUSPECT

That's how the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal chose to present (http://lubbockonline.com/stories/022110/loc_565688235.shtml) the story of Amy Bishop, a former college professor who eventually pleaded guilty (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/12/amy-bishop-guilty_n_1876858.html) to killing three colleagues and wounding three others at a faculty meeting in 2010.

And that's the headline AL.com ran (http://www.al.com/news/montgomery/index.ssf/2014/04/montgomerys_latest_homicide_vi.html) about the shooting death of a 25-year-old black man in Alabama earlier this year.

This is how the Staten Island Advance covered (http://www.silive.com/southshore/index.ssf/2010/10/son_in_staten_island_murders_w.html) the case of Eric Bellucci, a mentally ill New York man who allegedly killed his parents.

Meanwhile, NBC News ran this headline (http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/03/26/10872124-trayvon-martin-was-suspended-three-times-from-school) during ongoing coverage of the Trayvon Martin killing.

This Fox News headline (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/06/12/oregon-school-shooting-suspect-fascinated-with-guns-but-was-devoted-mormon-his/) quoted friends shocked that 15-year-old Jared Michael Padgett had entered his high school heavily armed and killed a classmate, injured a teacher and took his own life.

But in Florida, this headline in the Ledger (http://www.theledger.com/article/20140310/NEWS/140319988) focused on a police account that made the death of a black 19-year-old seem somehow expected, or at least unsurprising.

In the wake of the mass shooting in Santa Barbara, California, earlier this year, the Whittier Daily News offered a headline (http://www.whittierdailynews.com/general-news/20140525/santa-barbara-shooting-suspect-was-soft-spoken-polite-a-gentleman-ex-principal-says) showing one man's disbelief that ****** Rodger could havecommitted such a crime.

Earlier this month, the New York Daily News ran this headline (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/police-kill-man-air-rifle-walmart-ohio-article-1.1895479#ixzz3AHJv8HRX), carrying comments by the Ohio attorney general that appeared to defend police after killing a black man at a Walmart (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/11/john-crawford-iii_n_5669715.html).

This was the headline given to an Associated Press story at Mlive.com (http://www.mlive.com/news/us-world/index.ssf/2012/03/ohio_shooting_suspect_tj_lane.html) about an Ohio teen who later pleaded guilty to a school shooting in which three students were killed and twowere wounded.

But when an unarmed father of two was killed by a police officer while entering a vehicle that contained his own children, the Los Angeles Times served up this claim (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/marine-shot-.html) from officials.

In 2008, 18-year-old Ryan Schallenberger was accused of plotting to bomb his South Carolina high school. Ohio's Chronicle Telegram wanted readers to know (http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2008/04/21/straight-a-student-plots-to-bomb-high-school/) that he was a straight-A student, running an AP story with this headline.

And according to the Omaha World-Herald (http://www.omaha.com/news/shooting-victim-had-many-run-ins-with-law/article_867c8b61-9a39-5b14-8c88-f5323058ff29.html), this is what you needed to know about Julius B. Vaughn, a 19-year-old gunned down in Omaha last year:

Kerri Ann Heffernan was charged in 2012 in a string of bank robberies and stores. This headline at Wicked Local (http://www.wickedlocal.com/x1826358906/Bank-robbery-suspect-was-outstanding-Blue-Hills-student) wonders how she'd come so far from her days as a smart high school student.

Of 22-year-old black man Deon Sanders' killing in Ohio earlier this year, WKBN's headline (http://wkbn.com/2014/06/18/police-warren-shooting-victim-was-gang-member/) said "gang member," and that apparently was enough.

He had his gun drawn after he surrendered. Meaning the killing was unjustified.

Quote from video:

"I just got out of the shower. I don't know what happened. The police had no right to shoot him. He didn't even have a gun!"

You can hear another witness say that Brown charged at the cop in that video :rollin

[Bill_Brasky]

"So then he ran, police got out and ran after him. So the next thing I know he coming back towards [?] police had his gun drawn already. Police fired shots ... the next thing I know I think he missed him. The police shot him. Next thing I know I think he missed him. Then the dude started running - kept coming towards the police. "

You have no idea what you are talking about.

You must be one of those "black guys = thugs" radicals.

The autopsy will prove he had surrendered, as the gunshots will be adjusted for when his hands were up.

listen to the video YOU just posted. He said Brown charged the officer.

And Holder obviously didn't get the "hands up don't shoot" autopsy report he wanted from the state so he's requested an immediate federal autopsy.

[TheSanityAnnex]

And when the results prove the opposite than what? I'll tell you what, Brown will still be treated as a martyr and that is what is fucked up about some of the black community. They will still think the cop was in the wrong and whitey is out to get them, even after it is proven Brown went for the officers gun and charged him. The black community has already excused his strong arm robbery. He's done nothing wrong in their eyes. It's saddening to see riots before the truth is even known, makes people look stupid.

Well, that all might be true, but the fact remains is that he should have been detained and not shot after he surrendered.

Just because your morals are on a different level doesn't mean that you're right. You're being too emotional.

I'm not making any judgments on this specific incident yet, but do you think a cop has the right to shoot (with intent to kill) an unarmed citizen, even if he's "charging" at him?

Yes. I'm assuming the person doing the charging of the cop is intending to kill. Why else charge a cop?

And to be clear I dislike cops so I'm not defending them, I just dislike stupid people more. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

It doesnt matter what anyone thinks. The law says its justified. Anyone who would charge a cop is either on something or incredibly stupid.

Is this a serious question? You think he's "charging" him to play patty cake? Is the cop supposed to fling his gun and get in a karate stance?

You don't charge a cop...ever, unless you want to end up dead. How is this not common sense?

are you retarded? a cop is absolutely in the right to shoot a suspect thats charging them. especially if they just fought with that suspect and the suspect tried to go for his gun.

stupid no doubt, but I'd want the cop to apprehend someone without killing them in a similar situation. You've chased this guy, and then he charges you. I hope that a fully trained police officer would understand that he's unarmed given his behavior up to that point, and shoot at his legs at the very most.

Possible that sensationalists are getting to me, but it seems that this unarmed killing thing is getting more frequent. I get that it's easy to say these cops are making rash decisions in retrospect, but race is a factor and it adds another problem. I'll see someone make the point that we've had an officer lose his job over killing a dog, but then we'll see another get paid leave for killing an unarmed person.

Not ignoring the looters, and again, you're a fucking moron to charge an officer. Still, weighing everything that we know, I'm leaning towards holding law enforcement to more accountability for these recent situations. Especially if we're going to give them military equipment, which is terrifying and wrong imho.

[Bill_Brasky]

MB was a big dude. People have been killed/seriously hurt from just one punch before. And when a cop shoots someone they shoot to kill. They arent trained to try to injure someone. Always shoot for center mass.

If they aren't trained to do that, then my expectations of an officer are entirely unrealistic.

Shouldn't he of had non lethal alternatives? Taser/stun gun? If he really feared for his life he would of gotten back into his patrol vehicle and called for help/back up. If the young man was armed then I understand why he would shoot him. But the cop is trained to defend himself, especially from an unarmed threat. The young man posed no immediate danger to him or to others. He simply panicked or thought he would play hero and shot a young man for no good reason. Imo.

#1) Yes - he could have/should have tased him first - but the public would now be calling for his head because he tased a poor "innocent" black kid.

#2) At that point - the cop did not know if the kid was armed because the kid had already assaulted him - by pushing the cop into the car - and showing the cop how strong he was (the kid) - so no "search" had been conducted on the kid because = he resisted arrest and assaulted the cop and tried to take away the cops gun.

#3) The kid had already been shot yet - the police claim that he was walking towards the officer - (bum rush) - now what would go through your mind if you already shot a big motherfucker and he is rushing towards you? (A reasonable person might think -"this motherfucker is on pcp and he has super-human strength - my fuckin gun didn't put his lights out - fuck this!")


#4) Where are all the other questions....for example;
A) Why the fuck is this kid robbing shit, assaulting cops, evading from the cops?
B) Why isn't the public - or the fuckin media for that matter - upset that this thug was not following direct orders from a police officer doing his job? - Where is the fuckin outrage that these kids are out there terrorizing people, robbing them and then completely disrespecting and attacking the police? Why the fuck has no one even questioned this?



It would have been nice if the cop had just tased him and cuffed him - but sometimes a suspect will be bigger and stronger and possibly out of his mind with drugs and you might be better off just blowing him away and going home to your family.

I disagree with most of your points. Like I said before, the cop must of been shitting his pants for him to shoot a young man who had already been shot. The kid may of been on drugs but I doubt it given the camera footage from the store. His crime had nothing to do with him being shot as the record shows the officer didn't know he was a robbery suspect. And if you believe a young man should be shot and killed because of stealing then that is a sad way of thinking. I stole many times as a young man, do you think I deserved to get shot and killed? Sure, he may of been a punk kid but it doesn't justify him being shot while unarmed.

Yeah, let me attack this cop who is armed while I keep my gun in my pocket/pants. Makes perfect sense.

I believe the cop made a heat of the moment decision. However, they said he "held his hands up" supposedly. He didn't reach for a weapon to defend himself. In other words, there was no reason to shoot him. Just prosecute his ass and make him do time for being a dumbass. If he's going to reach for an officer's gun, that's almost an intent to kill. We're talking about reaching for an "officer's" gun. Not a regular person who is threatening your life with a gun your face but an officer of the law who is trying to maintain the area.

If he gained possession of the gun, who knows what he would have done.

I believe that situation was an adrenaline rush......had to be. A guy reaching for your gun and you didn't know what he was capable of.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/18/us/michael-brown-autopsy-shows-he-was-shot-at-least-6-times.html?_r=0
FERGUSON, Mo. — Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was killed by a police officer, sparking protests around the nation, was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, a preliminary private autopsy performed on Sunday found.

One of the bullets entered the top of Mr. Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the separate autopsy. It was likely the last of bullets to hit him, he said.

Mr. Brown, 18, was also shot four times in the right arm, he said, adding that all the bullets were fired into his front.

The bullets did not appear to have been shot from very close range because no gunpowder was present on his body. However, that determination could change if it turns out that there is gunshot residue on Mr. Brown’s clothing, to which Dr. Baden did not have access.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said Sunday that the Justice Department would conduct its own autopsy, in addition to the one performed by local officials and this private one because, a department spokesman said, of “the extraordinary circumstances involved in this case and at the request of the Brown family.”

The preliminary autopsy results are the first time that some of the critical information resulting in Mr. Brown’s death has been made public. Thousands of protesters demanding information and justice for what was widely viewed as a reckless shooting took to the streets here in rallies that ranged from peaceful to violent.

Mr. Brown died last week in a confrontation with a police officer here in this suburb of St. Louis. The police department has come under harsh criticism for refusing to clarify the circumstances of the shooting and for responding to protests with military-style operational gear.

“People have been asking: How many times was he shot? This information could have been released on Day 1,” Dr. Baden said in an interview after performing the autopsy. “They don’t do that, even as feelings built up among the citizenry that there was a cover-up. We are hoping to alleviate that.”

Dr. Baden said that while Mr. Brown was shot at least six times, only three bullets were recovered from his body. But he has not yet seen the X-rays showing where the bullets were found, which would clarify the autopsy results. Nor has he had access to witness and police statements.

Dr. Baden provided a diagram of the entry wounds, and noted that the six shots produced numerous wounds. Some of the bullets entered and exited several times, including one that left at least five different wounds.

“This one here looks like his head was bent downward,” he said, indicating the wound at the very top of Mr. Brown’s head. “It can be because he’s giving up, or because he’s charging forward at the officer.”

He stressed that his information does not assign blame or justify the shooting.

“We need more information; for example, the police should be examining the automobile to see if there is gunshot residue in the police car,” he said.

Dr. Baden, 80, is a well-known New York-based medical examiner, who is one of only about 400 board-certified forensic pathologists in the nation. He reviewed the autopsies of both President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and has performed more than 20,000 autopsies himself.

He is best known for having hosted the HBO show “Autopsy,” but he rankles when he is called a “celebrity medical examiner,” saying that the vast majority of what he does has nothing to do with celebrities.

Dr. Baden said that because of the tremendous attention to the case, he waived his $10,000 fee.

Prof. Shawn L. Parcells, a pathologist assistant based in Kansas, assisted Dr. Baden.

“You do this for the families,” Mr. Parcells said.

The two medical experts conducted the four-hour examination Sunday at the Austin A. Layne Mortuary in St. Louis. Benjamin L. Crump, a lawyer for Mr. Brown’s family who paid their travel expenses, hired them.

“The sheer number of bullets and the way they were scattered all over his body showed this police officer had a brazen disregard for the very people he was supposed to protect in that community,” Mr. Crump said. “We want to make sure people understand what this case is about: This case is about a police officer executing a young unarmed man in broad daylight.”

A spokesman for the Ferguson Police Department, Tim Zoll, said the police had not seen a report of the autopsy and therefore had no comment on it.

Dr. Baden said he consulted with the St. Louis County medical examiner before conducting the autopsy.

One of the bullets shattered Mr. Brown’s right eye, traveled through his face, exited his jaw and re-entered his collarbone. The last two shots in the head would have stopped him in his tracks and were likely the last fired.

Mr. Brown, he said, would not have survived the shooting even if he had been taken to a hospital right away. The autopsy indicated that he was otherwise healthy.

Dr. Baden said it was unusual for the federal government to conduct a third autopsy, but dueling examinations often occur when there is so much distrust of the authorities. The county of St. Louis has conducted an autopsy, and the results have not yet been released.

He stressed that his examination was not to determine whether the shooting was justified.

“In my capacity as the forensic examiner for the New York State Police, I would say, ‘You’re not supposed to shoot so many times,’ ” said Dr. Baden, who retired from the state police in 2011. “Right now there is too little information to forensically reconstruct the shooting.”

No matter what conclusions can be drawn from Dr. Baden’s work, Mr. Brown’s death remains marked by shifting and contradictory accounts more than a week after it occurred. The shooting is under investigation by St. Louis County and by the F.B.I., working with the Justice Department’s civil rights division and the office of Attorney General Holder.

from this article: About a half an hour after arriving at the holding cell, they were told that all media members could leave without any charges being filed.

this is a different article about the same guy. quote from this specific article: The two men were eventually released without charges.

i hadn't seen this before, and its interesting. its still not clear what exactly the dispute there was about. regardless, i've never called the reported robbery justification for murder, but it merely fuels some speculation as to what may have caused his confrontation with the police to become violent (if he was worried they were coming for him, etc).


something I read in the youtube comments, was that the autopsy shows he was shot from a distance?... I haven't looked at the autopsy report yet, but I know people lied about him being shot in the back and I know he advanced towards the cop in some fashion according to 2 people... and the last thing I'll take into account is a comment on youtube, but it was interesting to read that. And does that full video show him paying for shit anyways? who knows what happened with the shooting at this point
the distance is sort of irrelevant. if he was charging at the police from 20 feet away it still could be perceived as a threat. however, if autopsy reports (i haven't seen them myself yet) actually show that NONE of the bullets entered from his back, it sort of shits on all the "eyewitness" accounts we have heard.

its a developing story, and as i've said from the very beginning, i'm waiting for facts to come out. i just know a vast majority of people's reactions and initial perceptions are just fueled by race, which is stupid. people want a conviction/crucification of the cop before knowing any of the facts of what went down... literally just because it was a white-on-black thing. just like the zimmerman case.

Again...what the fuck are kids doing out there? The parents know there have already been confrontations with police. I guess making a "statement" is more important than the safety of their own children.

If they were normal parents with normal functioning brains they would have left their kids at home. Actually, they wouldn't be out there in the first place because they are putting themselves at risk and they have kids who depend on them.

[Fpoonsie]

Police are arresting journalists w/o charges, confiscating phones and physically warding off cameramen, and still doing so w/o nameplates on their uniforms.

And yet we should still trust these fucks?

[DMX7]

they broke into mcdonalds to get milk for tear gas victims

Did they leave money on the counter to pay for it? Oh, they probably didn't.

[DMX7]

How about these people stay in their homes at night for a while. Then maybe they wouldn't be "tear gas victims". Why do they have protest at midnight?

[SupremeGuy]

So they already have proof that he was charging the officer, which discredits all the stories that he was shot in the back and discredits all the witnesses that made that claim, and people are still bitching? It doesn't really have to be said again, but these idiots are rioting/looting just because they're fucking stupid ghetto trash, no other reason.

Can the people who said they saw the "innocent/honor roll" student get shot in the back get charged for anything since they basically started all of this with their lies? Inciting a riot or anything?

[SupremeGuy]

While we're at it, why don't they fucking teach their children to not be ghetto thugs/thieves and to listen to an officer when he tells you to do something? Black community wants change, it starts there, tbh.

You have be incredibly stupid to think that any of these looters actually give a shit about blindside, tbh. They're just looking for trouble, and when they find it, they immediately become giant fucking pussies and play the victim card. lol Bunch of faggots.

[RsxPiimp]

Wouldn't A 6' 4 250+ pound angry, and defiant black man be a pretty powerful weapon with in itself?
Depends. If this 6'4 250lb was just an out of shape, high school kid, probably not. I'd use my taser on your ass before shooting you. I have to wait for the full story but so far this sounds like an excessive use of force. And if all reports are true, the PO has an immaculate record and this may have been his first incident dealing with someone who resisted arrest. The sight of a big black kid attacking him may have put immense fear and his instinct was to kill to defend himself.


I do like to think that everyone has an objective view when they face a threat and in this case firing a weapon may be a justifiable act.


My guess is there won't be any criminal charges and the PD may face a civil lawsuit with Brown's fam receiving a huge settlement.

According to a medical examiner talking on cnn, "shot from a distance" in the autopsy report just means greater than 24" because, for a handgun, under 24" there would be gun powder residue/burns on the body. He also they do not have a way to tell from the body if the shots were fired from 25" or 25 feet.

The autopsy doesn't clear the cop, but it does blow up all the eyewitnesses stories that said he was fleeing and shot in the back.

so whats the difference between this case and the old man shooting 2 thieves who robbed his house and leaving the property still got shot dead?

this case we still aren't sure if Brown was surrendering or a threat. I don't really remember the thieves case, but if they were running away they weren't a threat.

Based on the entry wounds, i wouldnt say his hands were up when he got shot.

Some people(i dont think experts) have said it is indicative on raised arms and surrendering, but I don't see it why a cop would shoot that high.

Sorry, was that post too on-topic for your troll obsessed self?

it is a defensive wound. but you still gotta determine whether he was charging like the cop says.
