First, I depend on my own skill at following a case from the beginning to form my opinions. The ‘evidence’ it yet to come in this case, so maybe the cop was overreacting, maybe he wasn’t. Maybe the cops have had to yell at the ‘teens’ to get out of the frickin’ street every time they show up. Maybe the ‘teens’ were trying to see how far they could push the cops. Who knows ?
You speak of the tendency of the cops to lie, to cover up and I agree with you. BUT,,, can you just flat make the assumption that they(the police) are lying in this case?
Are you assuming that the ‘residents’ are just bastions of ‘truth’ ?
Remember the Trayvon Martin case where the only evidence that ‘blacks’ needed was that Trayvon was black.
It really seems like both parties to this incident are to blame, and is unfortunate Mr. Brown got killed. Life has taught me not to dick around in front of a police car. Maybe that’s why I’m alive and Mr. Brown is dead.
We all have our opinions of what happened, so now I guess we must await the evidence (and the cell phone videos the cops have) before we can confirm or change our ‘view’.
Well said.
as for “...Life has taught me not to dick around in front of a police car....”
