    First reported by 'The Gateway Pundit'.........Yeah. Ok. I'll wait for something a bit more credible. Also, the PD reported 38 arrests.......but the media on the ground is saying it was actually 78 people. Can the PD get anything right? What are they trying to hide here?

    I find it hard to believe when the women called and told her story on what happened and said Brown was swinging at Wilson. Question is was she even there when it happened or is she saying what somebody is telling her.

    Do you still believe everything the media reports?

    I had no clue all 22,000 residents made death threats to the cop? Do you have a link?

    The media is pretty split on this. From both sides of the coin. Irrelevant.

    The cop brought the fight to the unarmed kid. It was not the other way around.

    Also, that tweet was directed at you and several others that jumped to the cops defense right off the bat, bring up the robbery incident (which is irrelevant to the shooting), the fact he had weed in his system (irrelevant) & the use of pretty objectionable words directed toward the kid/the community in general.

    Not so much......what I do listen to is the multiple journalists on the ground. I have followed closely on twitter and what they are reporting is vastly different than what is being spun on FOX and some of CNN. Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, Chris Hayes, BBC, Al Jazeera and many from left and right leaning websites have been there for days. I am following close to 60 reporters in Ferg.......and they all seem to be saying something different than what is on TV. I wonder why?

    There was a pretty large crowd screaming it the other day. So you think all those looters don't wanna see this cop hang? lol

    So the cop brought the fight to the kid? I wondered how Obama got elected, and you make it so clear for me to understand. Liberalism is a disease. I'm sorry for you.

    This piece of feces (is that fair yet?) was breaking the law by not being on the sidewalk. How dare that officer try to do his job! The officer told him to get back on the sidewalk and this hunk of feces evidently didn't like what the officer had to say. But the cop brought the fight? Is that like the girl wearing a mini-skirt bringing the sexual assault?

    The robbery is relevant. Oxygen thief knew what he had just done. Officer may or may not have figured it out, and he got caught flat footed. And I guarantee you that his "intoxicated" state of mind (yes you can be impaired on mar1juana), will be brought up if this goes to trial.

    Probably the reason the cop gunned him down. A kid busted his eye and his pride... And many people don't think straight when their pride has been 5h1ted on.

    By telling him to get off the street? That is what police do. No one in the world argues that isn't their job.
    Or blows to the head can be fatal. How many people think straight with a concussion?

    You should read what you link.....cause the opening line states 'The Gateway Pundit is reporting'.......so yeah. Try again.

    A few people yelling harsh things about a cop does not represent the entire populous. Neither does a few dozen rioters. If anything.....the community has done a damn good job with crowd control and cleanup after those idiots start trouble. But you wont see that on Fox News......

    The toxicology reports never stated he was intoxicated. Or High.......he had weed in his system. You, the cops should know......that weed can linger in his system for up to 30 days. Do you get drug tested?

    And the rest of your' Liberalism is a disease'...."this piece of feces'.....blah blah blah......just proves my point. You don't know a damn thing about what happened and what is currently going on. You are just spitting up the same BS being posted on all the right wing websites......yet nothing is credible.

    Also, Notice that I have not called for the cops head or condemned the kid yet? It's because there is so much mis-information going around that it is going to take time. But keep pounding the narrative as you see it and how it makes you feel comfortable. That must be the cop in you.....

    At what point do you decide that you've been hit in the head enough to where deadly force is justified? Should you have to wait until right before you lose consciousness before the deploy the gun?


    I'm sure getting your orbital bone doesn't feel good. I'm surprised he didn't lose consciousness.

    When you attack someone that has a gun, you are essentially asking them to kill you. This really boils down to a case of euthanasia.

    Have you gotten your orbitals fractured, it's definitely not just pride that has been shat on.

    Josh Koscheck said it was the most painful injury he has ever taken while fighting when GSP broke his orbital in the first round. He said everytime it was touched, it was like a shock of lightning into the half of his face.

    Agree. Both sides of the spectrum are drawing conclusions catered towards their preconceived notions.

    One thing I figured we could agree on is that Michael Brown is a scumbag, or na? I feel rather confident in that assumption. Assumptions are dangerous. They'll even get you killed. But I'm safe with this one.

    Also, I'm sure a doctor or medical professional will come in and testify that x amount of nanagrams / milliliters of THC in the blood will "likely/probably/definitely cause someone to be impaired". I believe Colorado is going with 5 ng/ml. So it can be quantified.

    From what I understand the full toxicology report has not even been finished . The old guy that did the autopsy for the family said yesterday that the weed was only a preliminary finding and that the full report could take some days to come in .

    The same way Bush got in office... White folks voted him in :grin:




    And according to the reports I've seen the kids got of the street and the cop turned around and came back... But who gives a 5h1t about people jaywalking in a neighborhood...???

    Don't let your kids play flag football in the street anymore... They may get shot.


    So :confused: Still not an excuse for a peace officer to gun down someone. And that's why when all the smoke clears that police department will be writing a big ol check...

    Cause you know momma gonna be right there with her hand out....


    So let me get this straight. If you've had your face broken, and a dude twice as big comes as you back at you (hypothetically), at what point are you supposed to use deadly force? Help me out here. I'm not real smart. Should it be right before you lose consciousness? Help me out. Ready go.

    She should actually have both hands out because that will be a big @** check...
    That won't bring her son back but she still will get the acknowledgement of the police officer being at fault... And I know you're gonna hate it... Lol...

    I wouldn't be stupid enough to put myself in that situation... I would have been smart enough to wait for backup before even engaging with a person who is twice my size and me and my co-workers could jump him and beat him down like we see the cops on TV do.


    And neither was that cop... Which is probably why you believe he did everything the right way. Birds of a feather I guess.
