oh great. Now some on here who endorsed him being shot in the back will REALLY be glad.

I still say it wasn’t right to shoot him as he was running OR if he put up his hands (especially that)

If you are wrestling with a 275 pound felon who is trying to take your weapon are you really going to worry about where you shoot him?

From the picture of him lying in the street there are no obvious wounds to his back.

“I still say it wasn’t right to shoot him as he was running OR if he put up his hands (especially that)”

Remember that video Crump put out showing Zimmerman shooting TM from about 30 feet away?

It’s in question as to whether he was shot in the back.

He was 292 pounds. If he was “running” it wasn’t for very far.

The “witness” to the shooting was involved in the Robbery.

The QT was likely burned in attempt to destroy the video evidence.

Where has the MSM been for the last week?

The pictures from the scene do not show someone who was shot in the back.

He just died tired....

Seems to be a rather excessive retribution for stealing tobacco products, in any quantity. There are a LOT of things left out of the narrative, that changes the whole coloration of the justice of the matter.

Nobody has yet much spoken of the merits of the case, one way or the other.

I am not glad. It’s sad this event ever took place.

The one thing this video would show is that Michael Brown was prone to violence. He may have been that way with the police officer too.

The witnesses coming forward don’t mean a lot to me at this point. I have seen how these things work in the black community.

If reports are accurate that the cop was treated for facial injuries, I’m not ruling out the possibility that he was (a) stunned from being pounded on by Brown, and (b) not seeing clearly because of his facial injuries (blood, swelling, etc.), so he may not have been able to see clearly what Brown was doing when he fired the shots, but simply perceived that he was near and possibly intent on doing him more harm.

Call us crazy, but some of us want to know all the facts before we condemn the policeman.
