    Some pretty despicable posts on here. It's one thing to troll. It's another thing for instance to besmirch parents whose son was killed in a flippant way. The anonymity of the Internet hides you - for now - since you know you lack the courage to sign that post with your real name. Hope you get your comeuppance soon.

    From the evidence provided so far, the guys son attempted to kill a cop. If that's the case, the family deserves no comeuppance. You don't raise your kids to try to take guns away from cops.

    That is still yet to be proven that he tried to take the officers gun.

    It doesn't have to be proved, actually what has to be proved is that he didn't try to take the cop's gun and that he didn't assault the cop. You've got it backwards.

    This is disturbingly true in Missouri. The way Missouri law reads, if a defendant who kills someone can make an even plausible claim to self defense or justification, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it is not true. Otherwise, a jury is instructed by law to find the defendant not guilty. Self defense/justification is not an affirmative defense in Missouri.

    Dear god, please tell me this isn't true.

    1) Kill someone, with no witnesses or recordings.
    2) Claim self defense.
    3) Walk.

    oh, and let's not forget
    1a) Be white. No black person in Missouri is going to do 1 and 2 above, and result in 3.

    That would work anywhere no matter what race you were. If you can kill someone with no witnesses or recordings and can plausibly claim self defense, you'll always walk....why would that surprise anyone?

    What charges could the Michael Brown grand jury consider, if they choose to indict?
