Well, the body has six holes minimum in it from what I read in another article, two of which were in his head. Now no matter what, the six bullets in this unarmed guy are enough to put this cop away for something.
There were witnesses to this.

Are either of those two events confirmed? Just wondering because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere?

The only way a bullet could enter his eye, exit his jaw, and reenter his collar bone, is if he was shot while he was down.
There is no excuse for that.
Well I think a different conversation needs to be had. This just happened and no one is talking about it. You want to talk about a guy that robbed a store, assaulted a cop and then ran back at him for more. That's pretty messed up when there are multiple shootings happening every day in our inner cities. The conversation you want to have just further divides. Maybe it time for a different conversation. We've had the one you want to have, dozens of times.

Not sure I follow. So in order for there to be "justice" they need to find that Brown was "murdered in cold blood"?

Well the "shot in the back" just went out the window. The witness report - someone was caught on a cell phone talking to police - said that Brown was initially running away, but when the cop got out of his car, Brown turned toward him and tried to "bullrush the cop". Not sure if that is posted here in one of the many threads or not. The witness also said that Brown was seen leaning into the cop car and then ran from it. Shots or a shot was heard while Brown was leaning into the car.
I don't think people, or at least some people, want to know the truth or let it be known.
The report said that the shot he received at the top of his head appeared to happened when he had his head angled downward, so that could fit in with "bull rushing" the cop. I do think that many people don't want to know the truth. I agree with you 100% on that. They will feel like they can't let this go or the conversations that we've maybe needed to have will be gone. Nothing will be resolved and so on. That doesn't have to be the case though.
Everyone should seek out justice. Not their form of it or what they hope/think it needs to be and then continue the conversations and working for change afterwards. If it didn't happen like so many were led to believe it did, accept that and move forward to try and make the changes you were protesting for to begin with. There are conversations that need to be had, and there are things that need to be changed... That doesn't change if Michael Brown was not murdered in cold blood.
No!! I am saying that if it comes to light that the cop had no alternative than to fire, there are still conversations that need to be had and changes that need to be made. That doesn't change if they do not find fault with the LEO in this situation. I was saying that I hope that the conversations and talks for change don't stop if the cop is found blameless.
For starters why this still happens....

If that wasn't so prevalent then maybe people wouldn't rush to judgement when something like this happens. Maybe cops wouldn't be so antsy and quick to pull their gun?? I don't know, but I do know that they are apparently still not being treated equally in all areas. Perception is reality, they are saying something is wrong and it needs to be looked at.
LOL what is confirmed? The cop shot and the guy died? OK so be it.

I'm not big fan for LEOs, but put yourself in that cops shoes. This big dude just assaulted you inside your cruiser and apparently tried to grab your gun. So you have to assume he is either on meth or just crazy. After running he decides to turn and rush you even when you have your gun drawn. Are you going to stand there and get taken out or are you going to shoot? And, after you shoot, you're not even sure you hit him because he keeps coming at you. What do you do brave boy?

What you are saying is an assumption of the cops statement. I haven't actually seen a released official statement from the cop yet. It is in major conflict with eye witnesses statements. This sounds more like an opinion.

I heard the video. It was inadvertently recorded. That's probably as good as it gets. So yeah I believe the accounting vs those that have come before it that the media chose to release without them being vetted.

I didn't make any claims of your assessment of this instance. However this instance isn't one for the conversation you said you wanted. Would you put Michael Brown on that poster? He was no innocent kid. That is clear and all in one day he proved it.

You speak as if you have seen me write anywhere on this site about his innocence or his guilt. I have already stated that this is BIGGER than Michael Brown.
Any why is no one capable of caring about more than one thing at a time?? Every time I see someone post "Well you care about this but not this" it screams ridiculous. Nobody can pay attention to more than one situation, nobody can care about more than one news story, don't have two kids because you can only love one...
And I'm all for a different conversation if it makes this hell hole any more peaceful. I'm sick of the ignorance, violence, etc. like everyone else. I'll have a conversation about monkey nuts and blow pops if it'll change anything to make it more postive.
So you start the conversation you think will do it and I'll show up when you start it.

Yeah, that's not a witness statement. That is a woman calling into a radio show and saying that she is a friend of Darren Wilson and his wife and that she is relaying what was told to her by Mrs. Wilson who was told this by Darren Wilson.

This is the evidence of poor training. Too many bullets. None to the lower extremities to keep him put and a top of the head shot?
This shows serious issues on the police officers value of this mans life.
You don't shoot lower extremities. When you shoot you shoot for the chest. Shooting should be a last resort.

originally posted by: rickymouse
Yup, the cop did not act appropriately. At minimum he should lose his job and face some charges.
The link you posted to show your evidence showed no video that backed anything and the witness was a friend of the cop who was not at the scene. I don't know what kind of a news thing the brenner brief is, looks like some people got together and decided to get an online paper together to voice their beliefs.
