    Isn't this thread about the lynch mob that is upset about the innocent man going free rather than about Obamacare? I'm pretty sure there's at least one Obamacare thread.

    Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous given that there's absolutely no reason to be upset.

    Your sequence of shooting was not held up by the evidence or the testimony of black eyewitnesses.

    Also, the family autopsy didn't say he was shot in the back either.

    Just as we thought all along. Punching a guy with the gun will get you hurt.

    Let me ask you this. When should an officer be allowed to use deadly force? Is it right before he loses consciousness?

    You can't be knocked unconscious without any marks on your head.

    Please correct me if i'm wrong but that small mark is on his right side of his face right so ? if Brown was fighting with him in the truck how did he get hit on the right side of his face in the driver side of the truck just asking.

    Either the man got hit OR his car had some angry bees flying around. Those looked like some serious bee stings.......

    I'm not about protesting in this case, it's pretty open and shut. Most of them are protesting issues completely separate to the issues in this case.

    But a cop is not just a 'guy with a gun', he is a trained officer who signed up to put himself at risk to help others. As such, a cop should be held to a higher standard of conduct. I have no idea what happened at the scene with Michael Brown, but I do know that there seem to be a lot of unarmed black men and boys getting gunned down because cops 'thought they were in danger.'

    Maybe cops should be held to a higher standard before they are allowed to use deadly force. To be honest, if police rules change to protect unarmed civilians, and it results in a few more cops getting shot because they erred on the side of caution, that would be a trade-off I would accept.

    Well if he was turned to face Brown his entire face would be exposed. In fact, his right side would be more open in that case since his left side would be at least partially protected from haymakers by the door frame.

    So much for the posters saying they were worried about police and not the protesters. Burned cars, looted stores, shot guns, attacked a CNN reporter, destroyed fox news cameras, etc.

    Crazy white racists worried about black unrest for no reason!

    Everyone, cops and citizens alike, are held to the same legal boundaries of the law. Any person can use deadly force when an actor is threatening them with serious bodily injury.

    As Potus said the officers put there lives on the line everyday maybe they should be held to higher standard and in most departments they are this is just one of the many cases that don't go the way of the people .Now that the brown case is over for now the next case is the Garner case in NY will the grand jury no bill the officers in that case.

    Some of you just can't accept the facts as they are. You think maybe that was covered in the court room?

    And I am arguing that maybe cops should be trained to go further and exhaust all other options before shooting. I would rather have a cop with bodily injury than a dead unarmed civilian.

    Now, if the suspect is actively firing a gun at the cop, that is a different story. But if we are talking fists, I think cops need to avoid shooting if possible.

    I'm sure more evidence will leak out in the coming days. Apparently Clinton's pool boy will be the first to interview the cop pretty soon. More stuff will make sense as the info come out. This case did look to be more of an obvious "not guilty" than the Zimmerman case. Even a democrat prosecutor couldn't see wasting time trying this case.
