Ferguson Cop

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/mi...n-not-indicted-shooting-michael-brown-n255391

Feel free to read where he charged the officer and assaulted him. Anyone would've pulled the trigger.

 

Some things I'd need to look over thoroughly before properly judging the situation are:

- What are the specific US laws that protect officers in these situations and what has to happen for an officer to shoot to kill
- What physical evidence or witness statements show/say there was violence on Michael's part (I read something about him being on his knees pleading to the officer not to shoot; is that true?)

I think anyone making a judgement by putting the media hype and rioting aside. The media hype is irrelevant and whatever the news or reisdents or other people are saying (unless directly involved or actually saw it) because everyone has opinions. The rioting is irrelevant; and is just used by the media to make the peotestors look guilty of causing all the ruckus.

The situation does bring up some questions or points to think about for me, though.

- Why is there no database of police brutality (required or not) for the public to access and see how many people are injured/killed by the police? An innocent party has nothing to hide, and regular citizens are routinely told this at the minute as their personal information is snooped on.

Whether Michael was killed lawfully or not; I do think police brutality as a whole is a problem.

- Secondly; are the laws really there to protect the people? Just like the country is run in favour of big business and their lobbyists, I think laws essentially are run by that same system.

 

No he was not on his knees begging, that's just stupid.

Read this, it has the answer to literally every single question you just asked: http://www.policeone.com/ferguson/articles/7782643-Why-Officer-Darren-Wilson-wasnt-indicted/

Also everyone else read it, it'll put an end to all your worries. No matter what side or opinion you take, being more informed is critical.

 

All that tells me is that Wilson said there was a struggle. There is no fact or evidence/testimonials for me to look at lol.

If Wilson's able to shoot the guy 6? times then he, at that point has control of the gun. There are many ways to put someone down or injure them without killing them. Why did he have to shoot 6 times and kill him? Rather than just injuring him enough to overpower and arrest him?

 

He was ATTACKING the police officer. Every shot was from the front side because the guy was STILL coming at him. They are all defensive wounds.

The cop was fully capable of firing one shot and braining the guy. Sounds like he got 5 non life threatening warnings before he was done in.

You seriously need to look into this particular case before posting anymore.. I mean im completely against police brutality and well police in general for the most part but this simply ISNT a case of police brutality.

 

Thank you Nodnarbusn you capitalized on my point people are being very ignorant about the situation if you take all race away it's a man attacking a cop.

 

Rest in peace Mike Brown. Now if every misinformed idiot on my Twitter feed could stop posting wildly out-of-context social justice bullshit, that'd be great.

 

So what's your opinion on it then?

 

What is there to say? SuF said it best, it's an open and shut case, there currently isn't enough evidence to move this to trial and bring justice.

 

Well if you were a member of the jury would you have voted guilty or not? Based on the information at hand you have to have some sort of opinion being an open and closed case doesn't necessarily make it correct or incorrect.

 

The man got into a fist fight with the police officer after robbing a store, all while under the influence. There are some things you just shouldn't do, and Brown did most of them. Yes it's possible that the cop used excessive force but the man did what he had to do to protect his own life.

 

A jury sat through and listened to evidence for god knows how many hours. Fuck all you internet speculators. Worthless buffoon deserved to be shot.

Yeah..the kid isnt so innocent like all the damn niggers are thinking..he robbed a store just minutes before he got shot, punched the damn cop in his face and have a gun on him, even though it was a fake gun and it looks real, the cop did what he was trained for, burning buildings and destroying other shit isnt gonna bring him back to life

This. Riots in several states last night. Looting reported in Missouri.

How stealing, damaging property and burning your fucking town down is going to help stop "police brutality" and racism is beyond me.

Cant wait till one of the rioters acts out and gets killed, he'll probably be black and if we are really lucky the cop will be white. Then we can do this all over again as itll clearly be "racially motivated".

Lol'd hard at the guy in the backround.

To all those defending the "victim" take a close look at the man with a gun in this picture. This is your "victim".

 

Eww.... Doesn't he know how many germs money has on it?

 

He robbed a convenience store and attacked a cop. Do you think he paid attention in school? On a serious note the right decision was made. One of the reasons are simply in Missouri a cop has right to detail a violent suspect through any means necessary pretty much covering his ass for what happened.

 

> Officer notices cigars that were reported to be stolen
> Officer drives near suspect
> Officer opens door, and says suspect shuts it back
> Officer slams it open hitting suspect in face
> Officer says they were fighting as suspect reaches for gun
> The immediate interpretation is "He's trying to get the gun", never, "He tried to block the gun from coming out of holster", which is more logical.
> Officer shoots suspect multiple times, one of which hits him in the head causing his death
> Autopsy shows there was a close range struggle on the wound near his hand, others were from a distance

The suspect was under the influence of weed, not bath salts. The media is once again portraying the drug to be thug related. When under the influence of the drug, you actually have less strength than you normally have. Granted the suspect was large, under no circumstance would 6 shots be necessary. To be able to shoot the suspect in the head shows he has control of the gun.

The riots that occurred in Ferguson were projected differently from others in the media, and not in a favorable way. Unlike different demographics that have riots over hockey games, this one was for an understandable cause.

This case was never supposed to be bigger than it should've been, and these unnecessary racist circle jerks are not helping the cause at all.

 

Also, pretty mean to disrespect dead people =@

 

When the assailant / civilian goes for the cops weapon they are no longer considered unarmed.

 

I'm going to leave this video here because it's interesting.
