Well put.
Once Eric Holder's (in)Justice Department sprang into action and started the same hyperbole as they did during the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident, all bets were off that this officer would get a fair shake.
First comes the trial. That's a given.
Then comes a conviction, by a jury of his peers, not so coincidentally all of which will be black.
Then we have the public lynching.
That's how this is going to play out, facts be damned.
Yea...Maggief has the transcript on FR. Interesting as is...it’s still second hand but the forensics will tell much of the story when they come together. Hopefully the caller was correct....and the cop will not be charged....But he’s done anyway policing that area. He’ll have to move to stay in his profession..
And...
We know nothing about the ballistics of the round shot off in the car.
Angles will tell much. Powder residues on surfaces and clothing. Where’s the bullet?
Pics of the cops face? Supposed to have been beat on by Mikey.
Gonna be a trial for sure. Zimmerman II...
Bet they’re going to let him and the family off the hook by saying there was drugs in his system that caused his violent reaction to the officer.
“...All of this stuff about the robbery (and even about the initial contact with the cop) certainly makes Brown a less sympathetic person, but has absolutely nothing to do with whether the shooting was justified. If Brown was running away, if he was 30+ feet away, and certainly if his hands were up and he was surrendering, then there is no way to justify the shooting.”

“If...”, “If...”, “If...” Come on, “if” my backyard was made of gold, I’d be fabulously wealthy. You make up imaginary possibilities (your “If” statements) and put them forth as reasons why the police shooting was not justified. How about waiting for some actual information before you make more of a fool of yourself than you already have?
It does appear possible though that there’s still more to it from the caller who phoned in and told what happened from the officers story.
Sounds like he heard while he had pulled up next to them... likely so did the kid...and why when the officer went to get out the kid pushed him back inside and the fight ensued.
....”if he was 30+ feet away, and certainly if his hands were up and he was surrendering, then there is no way to justify the shooting.”......
...appears the kid ran after the first shot and fight in the car... and when the cop yelled freeze he turned and raced toward the cop like a charging bull and would not stop.
If that’s how it went down the cop had the right to stop him as he already was a felon in flight, not to mention having just bashed the cop and tried to get his gun.
I see that Ferguson is a Playful City USA, one of three in Missouri. I need to vacation there soon.
Yup. A leftist troll, posing as a conservative. I've noticed him for years.
Thank GOD you are out of the business. You have ZERO evidence the perps hands were in the air, BUT you would have prosecuted anyways.
You freakin' troll leftist.
Based on an anonymous caller to a radio show?
Yes, anonymous. The fact that Dana said the caller was vetted doesn’t really mean much. It’s still an anonymous caller, relaying what the caller claims the cop told her. There’s a reason hearsay isn’t admissible in court - it’s just not reliable evidence.
Well apparently his hands weren’t in the air but was in full charging bull mode toward the cop after he yelled freeze. Bop thinks the kid was on something by how he kept on charging.
Just like Rodney King was repeatedly attacking the cops, but the media would never show that part of the tape.
I think all the news agencies, for the moment and while they re-adjust to the changes of facts, are being particular over who calls and vetting them to be sure they are who they say they are.
This will likely go to court because Crump wants it to...and the PR machine has been operating well beforehand to take the Brown family down this root regardless if the kids guilty or not. ...the revenue will flow via the fund drives already at over 50 grand and the ones set up to “aide the family”.
They don't like to eat their own words and rare that they do until long after the misinformation is accepted as fact, even when it's not.
