Officer in Shooting Will Not be Charged [Rumor]

Posted on 08/20/2014 9:02:20 AM PDT by Doctor 2Brains

Chris Plante just reported on his radio show that The Viper (a rock radio station in St. Louis that CORRECTLY broke the autopsy news) is reporting that they have it on good authority that the shooting victim's accomplice in the strong arm robbery has now admitted that the gentle giant charged the cop and tried to take his gun, and that the cop will not be charged.

Wonder how many whites are going to be pulled from their cars and beaten to a pulp when the cop walks free?

Question is will it result in more looting and rioting. Hope not.

You betcha! It seems that this officer stopped firing as soon as Brown hit the ground. That is a split second decision.

I believe Wilson knew he could lose his gun (death sentence) if Brown did not go down before he reached the officer. Don’t forget the Weisel Johnson hiding behind the car, who was Brown’s partner in crime. He would have chimed in if Brown had attacked Wilson.

So yes, if he had more shots and only used six, that was restraint.

I forgot about the shot fired while in the car. That makes seven fired in total. Must have been a semi-auto.

The bet here, he will be charged. He must get a change of venue and have top lawyers to prevent a lynching.

Yeah, I forgot about that one also, so you must be right.

“WTH? 5 shots to the arm? I don’t think that is what he was taught in police training.”

Try shooting a charging man with a recently busted eye socket.

Yes, the madding crowds forget that there were two perps not just one.

Yeah, it might....

Holder and the Governor could have him indicted. It’s a common practice for high profile or politically difficult cases.

This way the accused cannot make their case except through documents, and the prosecutor has all the chips. They let the jury decide which almost always results in a indictment. Be it Federal or State.

It’s a necessary but misused and abused section of the criminal law, and it’s what they are likely to do IMO, to keep this going through the November elections.

At this point, I do not see any other course of action. They want this issue in November.

For an officer to give up his weapon he usually has to be dead, or will fight to the death, to keep it from being used to kill another human being. That is drilled into them during training...’Do not let them get your weapon, period.’

Yeah! 'Cause John McLane and Martin Riggs can hit guys at 100 yards with a 9mm Baretta while rolling around on the floor, right? Why can't real cops do that?

Do I really need a /sarc?

Hard to say, actually. We’re still waiting on the Federal indictment of Zimmerman, right? Civil suit too ...

If it turns out there’s solid evidence justifying the cop, expect a lot of noise out of Holder and the Feds, but no action. They want to get the anger to a low simmer and perpetuate it as long as possible to influence the elections.
