Wonder if Mrs. Brown could hear her son crying for help while he was beating the officer.

Holder has taken the lead – calling . . . the case “troubling.”

The Head of the Department of Just Us and Our People troubled by other cases.. actual explanation why no investigation of voter interfering:

"When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that -- to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people." Holder.

Ferguson Headline?

Head of the Department of Just Us and Our People explains to the public why punishing the Ferguson policeman is the only option: "When you compare the hundreds of thousands of my people murdered by white sheriffs and policemen . . . to worry about the Ferguson policeman does a great disservice to my people."

(Do I really need a /s here? There's question mark following the word headline.)

I would feel better if Wilson had touched his face at some point, when he was being videotaped at the scene.

Hopefully there are photos as well as a medical report....preferably a report that's accompanied by X-rays.

Exactly.

The narrative has hardened to the point that any attempt to provide a different explanation sets off a new round of violent protests.

They’re not interested in facts; they want vengeance.

If this is true, this deal is over

Not for thinking residents of Ferguson. Chaos probably could have been avoided if this information had been released as soon as bogus reports of the event made it to the media.

How many minority members will wake up and realized that they were played by media, a governor, black race whores and a DC administration that wanted an issue?

The pics of the badly beaten cop’s face will surely surface shortly, and then this will all be put to rest.

Surely you jest.

(1) The police officer's face is obviously bruised because he used his head to hit Michael Brown's fist.

(2) The officer should have never told Brown and his friend to move out of the center of the street. Had the officer simply waited until Brown and his friend decided to let traffic proceed there would have been no incident.

(3) Tell me, when you see someone walking down the middle of the street like they own it and purposely holding up traffic, what do you do? You don't even honk your horn. You just sit there and wait quietly, right?

The left will just accuse Wilson of beating himself..just like they did with George Zimmerman.

Sadly, I think you may be correct.

If the witness participated in the assault on the cop, maybe they told him he was going down for murder. Death occurring during the commission of a felony.

How can a “nearly unconscious” man be held responsible?

When pictures of Zimmerman were released the press pretended not to notice he had been beaten up.

They’ve got their agenda.

Michael Brown proved he was a hot head bully in the strong armed robbery of the store. We saw that video. We saw Brown in the high glory of the entitled bully. He wasn’t going to put up with any crap from the store owner. I suspect he also had no intention of putting up with any crap from a police officer either. It’s the code of the loser.

You forgot item 6 in your list. The public at large is afraid to speak out and calling like it is for fear of being labeled racist. Nobody puts their name to a letter to the editor, calls a local talk radio show or organizes a march in support of right.

That is possible. My best guess is that the cops have more info than we all know yet.

Let us fight political correctness whenever it rears its ugly head.

Good shot is right. However, I fear that this Officer Wilson still has his life ruined.

It’s tribalism. It’s not about facts.

I want proof, not more unnamed sources.

"The question arises is this: Is the account in this Fox report Officer Wilson’s or is it an eyewitness account?"

According to the article, it's "a source close to the department's top brass," which means it isn't an eye witness but a police insider.

Amazingly, the Brown’s attorney said that even if Brown assaulted Wilson and grabbed for his gun, that was not enough to shoot him because he had attempted to flee. I disagree, but this case will hinge on whether Brown charged Wilson after the first encounter. The position of Brown’s arms in the street would indicate he was NOT surrendering.
