Funny thing about facts, they are what they are-always have been, always will be. Fact. On August 9, 2014 Officer Darren Wilson-a six year veteran of the Fergusoin Police Department-shot and killed 18 year old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Fact. Michael Brown was unarmed at the time of his death. Fact. There are at least two (TWO!!!) eye witnesses, Dorian Johnson-Michael Browns friend that was with Brown at the time of the shooting-and Piaget Crenshaw-happened to video record from her apartment window Darren Wilson shooting Brown dead.
Fact. Both witnesses have gone on national news networks to tell their stories. Now that the facts (and no these arent ALL of the facts but facts nonetheless) have been laid out Officer Darren Wilson needs to be brought to justice.
Why isnt Darren Wilson in a jail cell? That is the question I kept going back to as I sat down at my desk and turned on my laptop in preparation of this column. The facts are the facts: Didnt he shoot an unarmed Michael Brown? Killed him in cold blood for what ultimately was an alleged shoplifting charge. Fact. Darren Wilson is white. Fact. Michael Brown was black.
Unfortunately that might be the ultimate fact in the story. White policeman kills black teen. White man kills black boy. Fact. Separate authorized and unauthorized autopsy reports show that bullets entered Browns body from the front. That Brown may have attacked Darren Wilson after he and Johnson were instructed to freeze could be true. Im not arguing that fact. Both witnesses to the shooting that have gone public thus far say that at one point Brown had his hands in the air, arms raised, no gun in hand before being shot six times. Fact. Darren Wilson should be in jail in Ferguson, Missouri for if nothing else manslaughter. Being a terrible police officer isnt against the law is it?
Fact. There have been Darren Wilson supporters online-Facebook and GoFundMe accounts have been set up and have garnered over $70,000 thus far. Fact. Since Browns murder there have been 21 consecutive days of protest on the streets of Ferguson since the shooting. Fact. The Missouri Highway Patrol has been called in to do the job that the Ferguson P.D. obviously could not. Fact. There has been more money donated to the Darren Wilson there has been to Michael Browns family. That alone says more about race relations in Missouri and around the country than any newscast or column could ever state.
FACT. Michael Browns funeral will be held in Ferguson on August 25. Darren Wilson will be available to attend because he most likely will not be in custody.
When Zimmerman went to trial, it was a foregone assumption by the prosecution, the media, Martin’s supporters, and the judge that he would be convicted. That he wasn’t was due to the courage of the jurors. And they were seriously castigated for following the law.
Donnell Suggs’ law degree is from The University of Stupid.
The standard answer is usually something like "100 million" or other crazy nonsense.
A more academic number is 11 million (which is all the slaves ever transported to the Western Hemisphere).
The shocking true answer: about 365,000. That's all.
About two thirds were men.
Yet, by 1860, there were 4.5 million African-Americans in the US.
There has been an enormous amount of mixture in the US - most African-Americans would be considered of mixed background in most South American and African countries.
That's because they are.
Proverbs 18:13
You know its a fail when God tells you to STFU.
Just because someone claims to have seen something doesn’t make it true or accurate, in whole or in part.
The so-called three witnesses who accused the officer of executing Brown have been severely crippled re their honesty and accuracy (if they think they saw what they claimed) because of forensic evidence and more to come.
The reported injuries to the officer, if confirmed, will destroy the so-called “eyewitness” accounts of at two of the three witnesses, esp. the clown who robbed the store with Brown.
Just another piece of black racist/black denial writing, a curse that is keeping some American blacks from becoming part of the solution, not remaining part of the problem.
The truth is colorblind, except under the Obama/Holder authoritarian, Orwellian, regime.
That's because they are.
==================================
WELL put.
no
I think post 48 is in error
She went on national tv and did not show the video of the shooting?
If she had we would have seen it over and over again. I have seen a video of Michael Brown lying in the street. Is that the video? If that is the video, it was after the shooting, not of the shooting.
Another fact. Unless the officer was able to pat him down there’s no way he could have been sure that Brown was unarmed.
More heresay.. Personally, I can't wait to see and hear all the evidence. I dont think anyone but the officer knows what happens, and who knows, he might have been in a daze from the beating.
Assumes a person cannot harm another person with their bare hands. False.
Piaget Crenshaw-happened to video record from her apartment window Darren Wilson shooting Brown dead....
Didn't need to read any more. Suggs is a liar.
I read the comments and was surprised.
Fact. Donnell Suggs is a race-baiting POS.
In case anyone was confused, the idiot in not, in fact, 2ndDivisionVet, but the author of the article. My apologies for the confusion!!
I instantly label idiotic anyone who repeatedly uses “at the end of the day” or “I get it.” And it’s amazing how many seemingly “intelligent” people rely on these phrases every spoken 10-100 sentences.
Her video is after he was shot. It does nothing to clarify the events of the shooting itself.
These room temp IQ deviants just can’t handle simple truths and facts.
It doesn’t matter that lardo was unarmed.....he physically instigated a confrontation and assaulted an officer. Anytime you do that expect to be put six feet under dummies.
That they whine & cry over this irrelevant shooting and don’t dare say a word about the thousands of other blacks shot in ghettos throughout the country is more than enough to disqualify their protests over the Swisher Shoplifter.
