Brown’s family and supporters will not be persuaded by the autopsy report or eyewitness statements that back Wilson’s account of the incident

Nothing says justice like a new flat screen TV, doncha know.

[Norm Lenhart]

“Brown’s family and supporters will not be persuaded by the autopsy report or eyewitness statements that back Wilson’s account of the incident…”

So?

[Sans-Culotte]

At one of the links to stories about this, I read an amusing theory in the comments section that the whole thing was an accident caused by Michael Brown tripping on his pants that he was wearing below his buttocks, thereby falling into the vehicle.

Crump is inciting riots and violence in order to get a jury to indict Officer Wilson because if Wilson is indicted, Crump is free to file a wrongful death law suit against the police.

Crump knows full well Wilson is 100% innocent and there is no chance Wilson will be convicted, but if Crump can Mau Mau the Grand Jury into an indictment under the threat of violence, Crump will be able settle out of court for millions before the trial starts just like he did with the Treyvon Martin case.

State of mind is a factor.

When told to leave the middle of the street and move to the sidewalk, Michael Brown swore at the officer.

When Wilson tried to exit his police vehicle, Brown pushed the door in, pushing Wilson back inside.

Those two acts alone establish that Michael Brown was not in a law abiding, gentle giant mode.

Grabbing the officer’s weapon was strike three.

Benjamin L. Crump, a lawyer for the Brown family, said Brown’s family and supporters will not be persuaded by the autopsy report or eyewitness statements that back Wilson’s account of the incident…

The truth is irrelevant.

Reefer madness seems like an odd theory of the case

Not if he were really high enough to experience hallucinations.

[Hugin]

Facts don’t matter to racist black lynch mobs.

[DoughtyOne]

Add this fraud to countless others like Tawana Brawley, and why you almost strip Al Sharpton and his fellow travelers bare.

I’d sure like to see evidence that some groups get that.

I can think of about seven who did. Good for them. I respect their choice to do the right thing.

Good citizens one and all...

Cop White and the Seven Snitches?

[bgill]

lest they face reprisals for being honest

They better all be out of town before the sun sets or else.

[LucyT]

It’s not just the forensic evidence that’s backing Wilson up.

[M]ore than a half-dozen unnamed black witnesses have provided testimony to a St. Louis County grand jury that supports Wilson’s account of events of Aug. 9, - according to several people familiar with the investigation who spoke with The Washington Post.

[Tennessee Nana]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOEZ

[MortMan]

One more odd detail from WaPo’s story: “The Post sources said the levels in Brown’s body may have been high enough to trigger hallucinations.” Er, okay, but isn’t the fact that Brown had just apparently committed a crime minutes before Wilson rolled up a more likely explanation for why he got aggressive? He had obvious reasons to fear police scrutiny at the time. Reefer madness seems like an odd theory of the case.

Actually, the fact of high THC isn't a theory, and the fact that the level was high enough that it could have induced hallucinations is neither irrelevant nor an "odd theory".

Other than that, the article is quite good, and informative.

[Mastador1]

Six Black witnesses? Don’t mean doodoo, they are all oreos and traitors! There is White truth and Black truth and the the only truth that matters to the animals in Mo. and around the world is the Black truth of racism that says they are victims and all else is a lie.

[AmusedBystander]

Thank God the seven are "black", otherwise they would have no credibility.

Oh, never mind, they must be snitches.

[Fresh Wind]

Have the Browns started the Gentle Giant Foundation® yet, and have they started fundraising through it?

[bert]

crump and the family are guilty of inciting riot

[The Great RJ]

The truth be damned, Al Sharpton says it was a racist cop gunning down an unarmed Black kid for no reason. That’s the narrative and no evidence or eye witness testimony to the contrary will change that narrative.
