I actually live in St. Louis and it is just sad that these people are trying to intimidate witnesses that corroborate the police account into not testifying in order to "seek justice." It's truly sad that many of the protestors want to manipulate the shootings of two young men in order to force change that fits their political agendas, rather than truly seeking justice.
Now that it looks like Ofc. Wilson wil be no-billed, I wonder if Obama is going to stop commenting on these events? He's 3 for 3 in spouting off on issues he has no business making comments on. Eric Holder too. Since this has become a political event, forensics, other evidence & the fact that so many of the witnesses initially lied, none of this seems to matter. With the help of most news agencies, their leadership will pivot, ignore exculpatory evidence, and keep up the spin. And the uninformed will continue with their self righteous outrage.
They have taken all this time to 'fix' the evidence and the story The conclusion of a no-bill was inevitable when the people in charge of gathering evidence and processing it collude to make a certain result. . . .well that result happens. Corruption from top to bottom. Rocket River
He's the ****ing President of the United States. He can talk about whatever the **** he wants. A city is in full meltdown and he needs to kiss your ass by not talking about it? Shut up.
And he continues to embarrass the office. The ****ing president of the US doesn't need to chime in on small scale, local level issues. It's a bad look on him. ESPECIALLY in instances where all of the facts aren't known. Is there not anything else he needs to focus on instead of a few unemployed ferals acting stupid in one small town? Haven't heard him comment on countless murders in his "hometown" of Chitcago. He's a race baiting piece of trash and I'm embarrassed to call him the president.
Heeeeere we go.... Of course, it's all a big cover up. Michael Brown was executed with his hands tied behind his back.
You have to expect anger over this. The lynch mob doesn't care that the guy is innocent, they want blood and it's looking like they aren't going to get it.
yeah it's about that time during the conversation when the losing side has to go bonkers and start cursing. CometsWin -- your side lost, yet again. Learn from your mistakes and move on, kid.
Small scale isn't when a city is having daily riots with cops armed like the marines corps and the whole ****ing world is talking about it. You're a cop and as such you're prone to being an ignorant, arrogant slimeball so you're excused for not knowing what the **** you're talking about. I'm embarrassed I live in a county where there are ignorant people like you and ole bigtexxx talking trash about his heritage, his race, his "strange" name and then you have the audacity to call him a race baiter when unlike you he has the actual experience as a person of color dealing with trash like you. Look in the mirror scumbag.
That's how freaking racist and sick you are. You think there's a "winning" side to this case. You seriously need a therapist.
Calm down -- your defensiveness is obvious for all to see. The "side" I was referring to was the side that rushes to judgment without all the facts. As the facts have presented themselves, they don't have a "CometsWin bias"...
Your opportunism is obvious for all to see. You're a troll. It's what you do. You're a clown doing your clown show thing. We've noticed your absence lately, all butthurt by being called out repeatedly by oh....everyone. Troll on clown show! :grin:
Actually you should look in the mirror. It's almost like you're furious that the facts show that Officer Wilson was justified. It's almost like you were ROOTING for him to have acted inappropriately, just so you could call him a racist and an abuser of power. Now you're acting all defensive and angry .
The side that lost was the one that took a disproportionate response against the protests. They lost the high ground when they busted out the surplus military gear. That's one color grade below Kent State. Which is perverse because if the officer is vindicated both in court and majority opinion, it'd be status quo practice to move on without any change. But the way the popo militarized against non-violent protest? That **** goes beyond color.
President Obama can comment on anything he wants. However he is looking foolish and not doing any favors to those that legitimately have suffered racism or inequality commenting when there is limited information. The media played everyone like a fiddle (including the President). The more times extreme claims are made concerning high profile cases and the more that the claims are proven to be false, is going to result in more doubt by the public.
Not sure anyone won in this situation.... Looks like everyone lost. Also agree with you on military weaponry being used on USA citizenry is wrong.
Agreed. I was responding from BigTexx's pov. It's a ****storm, and I'd ignore it if it didn't affect me as an American.
Maybe you can post these foolish quotes. I think it's pretty foolish for some of you to expect a black President not to comment on issues involving concerns of black people. In fact he should be doing it more often. Who else is going to address it? Mitt a Romney? John McCain? Pfft.
