As it stands now, the officer will have a near impossible chance at a fair, impartial trial, let alone in Ferguson.
Expect a change in venue, IF he is indicted.
Darren Wilson will be indicted and he will be convicted. Darren Wilson will serve his time in general population alongside black men he arrested, harassed and assaulted. Justice will be served.
I would be willing to wager you had George Zimmerman hung before the evidence was gathered, and a jury was selected, as well.
Is that why you're employing the same tactics?
LOOK AT THIS BLACK "KID!" HE'S A GIANT! HE'S A THUG! HE HAD MARIJUANA IN HIS SYSTEM!
I watched the whole trial, my opinion remains unchanged. I never thought GZ was a racist or that he set out that night to kill anyone, but I did think that he was a wanna be cop and he profiled TM.
Can you imagine an armed vigilante exiting his vehicle and pursuing you, without identifying himself or stating his intentions, hell bent on questioning you because to him, you looked suspicious? You might conclude that you were being stalked by a rapist or a mugger. So you duck around a building and hide in the bushes and maybe you panic and you pepper spray the man and knee him in the groin. At that point, he feels that you are probably going to incapacitate him and then he won't be able to maintain control of his gun, so he shoots you in the chest and you die.
Sure, you could have run because you were looking to avoid confrontation (let's not even get into the stand your ground aspects). Then again the armed wanna be could have been satisfied with calling the cops and letting them harass you instead.
I guess I just believe people shouldn't be running around trying to play cop and harassing people who aren't doing anything to them. I actually don't even expect cops to harass me when I'm not doing anything, silly me!

according to this person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.
Not a fact yet, source can not be verified so how could it be seen as fact?
And weed in system does not mean under influence during event. Weed stays in your system for a month, could of been from usage from up to 30 days prior if not more if he was a chronic user.

Any context of when that was taken? As in before or after shooting?

I have been discussing the evidence as it brought to light.
if you don't like the apology, tough. it is what it was and i wont apologize further
It would seem logical if someone felt a need to have 3 boxes of cigars, they either used marijuana on a frequent basis, or, perhaps, sell it.
By that very fact, you cannot attempt to ascribe a chronic use of something as how it remains in your system for up to 30 days.
You were the one that said that said thc stayed in the system of a chronic user up to 30 days.
However, as I pointed out, much to your chagrin it would seem, the cigars are certainly a symptom of a larger issue.
In all honesty, you have no reason to make any statements beyond yep, it's there, until the qualitative results are in, because anything other than presence in the system is just guessing.

Did we not go through this in another thread with one other poster who used this same wapo article as proof of a toxicology report ? This is what I was talking about in saying that stuff like this is what causes stories to become convoluted.
