Kids walk up and down the street and play catch in the street in my neighborhood all day. When a car comes _ they move. Was Brown walking down a street that has traffic on it like downtown Houston...??? But no need for you to continuously make excuses for the officer. It was a black kid so who cares and Wilson is free to go.
If your opinion is Brown deserved to die and police officers do not have to take any steps to keep from using deadly force _ then that's your opinion. I'm just posting my opinion and I'm not trying to change yours.
We can take this as evidence that no matter what was on video, the people who want to blindly believe that Brown got mistreated would think that he got mistreated. No amount of evidence will convince racists that the white officer wasn't being evil.

Nobody is making excuses for the officer. He did his job and got attacked by a criminal for it. That criminal got shot when the officer felt the criminal had become a danger to him. This tragedy could have been avoided by the criminal but the officer had no choice in his actions and no need for excuses. I won't put colors in my posts if you don't put them in yours.
Like I said. There are many police officers who are not to bright when their emotions get worked up. I've seen you say you were a police officer before. And you keep making my point. You have no control of your emotions on a freakin message board. Police officers like you are just as dangerous as the criminals to law abiding citizens. Most police departments will hire any damn body and you're a prime example of that.

Well, Brown wasn't a law abiding citizen was he? So technically Wilson posed no threat to a law abiding citizen.
The officer did have a choice. He could have waited after his initial contact... I can put color or whatever in my post because it's my post and my opinions. Just like you can keep making excuses for Wilson and or giving the opinion that Brown deserved to die in your post.
Looks to me like the officer did nothing wrong, he might have been able to use force that do not kill Brown, but that is not required of him. Mike Brown did rob a store and was in an altercation with a police officer. If only officer Wilson was Chuck Norris, he would have been able to beat Mike Brown into submission without shooting him. These police officers are wimps.
I wonder if Mike Brown Sr will be charged with inciting a riot, there's certainly enough evidence to support it.
It's great when there's an excuse to give for gunning down a black person (or any other minority). At least you guys have one this time for Brown.
If there are evidence to support Mike Brown was an innocent victim gunned down, I would fully support sending the officer to the jail. Even if Brown was a robber suspect but he followed all the order by the officer and stilled got gunned down, then I would support charging the officer. We should use common sense sometimes.
After seeing more evidence and facts come out, it's pretty obvious why Wilson wasn't indicted. This one is clear cut. Anybody arguing this has been biased by the media or is having a racial pity party. Enough.
