Ferguson and conflicting statements: Is it Time to use LIE DETECTOR [RICO]
Various | 27-November-2014 | Vanity

Posted on 11/27/2014 2:27:05 PM PST by topher

There are conflicting reports on what happened between Police Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown.

One group of eyewitnesses claim that Michael Brown 'charged' Officer Wilson, leaving him no choice but to defend himself.

Another group claim that Michael Brown raised his hands to surrender.

Then there is the report by Police Officer Darren Wilson of the incident.

If it can be shown that one group or the other is LYING, it might stop the violence. It might also bring peace to this country.

RICO could be invoked as a reason to administer the LIE DETECTOR test.

Clearly, if the FBI is going to intervene, and there is an indication of possible Civil Rights violations, perhaps the first step is to find out who is telling the truth.

There was an 'old' Dragnet TV show where using a Lie Detector test showed that the possible suspect was telling the truth in the case of a murder investigation.

It allowed the investigating officers to advance the investigation to other 'leads' in the case.

This 'Dragnet episode' aired today on ME TV.

Certainly, the Science of using Lie Detectors must have advance quite a bit in the past 40 years.

There are multiple people to interview.

Rather than the FBI trying to LYNCH Officer Darren Wilson, maybe finding out what the TRUTH really is should be the first step.

It might allow Officer Darren Wilson and Saint Louis County in Missouri to resume normal lives without having neighborhoods going up in flames.

I am hoping this might get enough visibility that this line of thought is pursued.

I know it should not be in the news categories I have listed it, but I honestly believe this might bring peace to Ferguson, St. Louis County, and rest of our great country.

From a person who has had his share of polygraph tests, I can assure you it is not 100%. Not by a long shot.

Since the rioters don’t believe the autopsy results and other physical evidence which confirm Wilson’s account, what makes you think that they’re going to believe some racist lie detector test?

Way past lie detectors IMO. The chapter is closed. The GJ spoke.

As for the politics of it, no amount of evidence is going to change their minds or soften their hearts. They want to demonize Wilson and, by extension cops, and by further extension whites. They want someone to blame for their (self-induced) troubles.

Hopefully they will grow weary of the pretense and go on to some other idiotic scams. If they go too far there will be backlash and that then they’ll REALLY have something to cry about.

There will be no trial so no reason to admit the polygraph results as evidence, assuming a judge would do so.

The ones that support Wilsons version of events were the ones who didn’t go running to MSNBC with their lawyers for their 15 minutes.

The other ones have skin in the game to keep the fraud going

Ignoring the question of a polygraph’s reliability, I doubt it can distinguish between objective truth telling and a person’s sincere self-delusion of the truth.

If we were to break out the polygraph I’d suggest we start with Barack Obama and then proceed to Eric Holder. Once those two are totally vetted we’ll see where we go from there.

The only way this witness would backtrack and confess by telling the truth is if they was given millions and the federal authorities would put this person in a new life far away from the thugs in Ferguson ghetto who would murder him in a heartbreak. Don’t see Holder wanting any part of that because it would go against their narrative that blacks are being suppressed by white cops. I look for the thugs to begin murdering anyone who they think talked to the police about this case.

There is a reason lie detector tests are not admissible in courts. They won’t prove anything.

The protesters want to lynch a white cop for defending himself. Indisputable evidence of Michael Brown robbing a store and getting physically rough with the store clerk didn’t sway them. Neither did evidence the Michael Brown had reached for the cop’s gun and assaulted the cop. They will not be convinced by a lie detector test.

The quicker the conservatives learn that the facts do not matter to leftists the better.

Ridicule is the most effective weapon to use against them.
These people buying the media and leftist spin, raging and rioting, are being used, and are literal fools. Useful idiots for advancing the leftist agenda.

We should consistently call them such and encourage others to view them as total fools, dangerous fools, violent fools,
poor misinformed idiots, idiots too dangerous to be around, fools to be avoided, fools of their own making. Mix and match as needed.

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them, closing a perceived loophole that allowed someone who told a man to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally.

As George Costanza once said, “It’s not a lie if you believe it.”

I believe some of the people are so convinced of the Brown side of the story that even if there was a full video of the entire incident, they would still not alter their stance.

There is no need for lie detector tests, which are unreliable. There is plenty of physical evidence. That evidence is consistent with one version of events, and only one version of events. It is the same version of events that Officer Wilson related.

Lie detectors won’t stop the violence. Most of what transpired had little to do with the death of thug brown. It had to do with race batters futures and manipulation of uneducated pawns of liberals. The something for nothing crowd couldn’t resist an opportunity to act like the animals they are.

Even terrorists have been trained about the myth of polygraph testing.
