....

Jackson, before speaking to reporters, told CNN's Don Lemon that the officer was "devastated" by what had happened.

...

The documents said four to six shots were fired.

A black Sgt. Darren R. Wilson is an eight-year veteran of the St. Louis Police Department. The officer who shot Michael Brown is a six-year veteran of the Ferguson police department. Ferguson has its own police department.

Those posting photos of a black Darren Wilson are posting those of the St. Louis policeman AND of a South Carolina State Trooper named Darren Wilson.

I don't believe they are the same person.

You obviously do not have any understanding of the difference between an entrance and an exit wound.

Look where the squad car was located and where brown’s body was located in relations hip to the car.

The perp was running away.

Now if the cop shot the perp to death while the perp was inside the car or just outside the car…. that would be justifiable.

And the cop just gunned him down like a dog in the street.........right.

And did so in full view of many witnesses. Not likely.

Live like a thug, die like a thug.

From your words on this forum, you appear to be a race baiter.

The photographic evidence of taken at the scene refutes your repeated assertions:

I posted the link for those who are interested in getting to the truth of the situation. I suggest you not look at it this time either.

If a guy was shooting at me from a neighbor’s back yard, he is putting my life in immediate jeopardy and I would be justified in shooting him.

If a guy is in a neighbor’s back yard and I shoot him while he is unarmed, regardless of what he did in my house - I go to jail for murder or manslaughter.

Police Chief James Craig in Detroit when speaking out to criminals. "The average citizen is far more likely to shoot you than police so don't mess with them".

Excellent. Wish police in my town had that attitude….well, maybe they do, as they do not respond when shots are fired in front of your house.

Three different people as far as I can tell at this juncture.

Yes. . knocked nearly out, staggering, fuzzy thinking, thinking he is coming back to finish the job if you pass out. . .

Just like the big guy that 5 cops wrestled to the sidewalk in New York and smothered to death.

No one was smothered.

He died of a heart attack in an ambulance, not of suffocation on the sidewalk.

Shove it pal - I DIDN'T SAY A DAMN THING ABOUT RACE, SKIN COLOR OR ETHNICITY. That is not even in the same universe of the argument I'm making.

not exactly the law in my state ... if I witness my neighbor’s home being robbed and I consider the person robbing my neighbors home a threat then is permissible to stop that person under the law in my state. Don’t know the law of your state and that law may not exist in your state but in mine ... one best not be stupid and let me see them in my neighbor’s home unlawfully.

I have several friends that fled from South Africa. That is exactly what they are.

Funny how times change. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were ambushed by law enforcement with overwhelming firepower and turned into hamburger, and the only reaction were sighs of relief.

Most states have specific laws that apply to police officers in those situations. I think you should learn the law and history behind it before you whine and bitch about it on FR.

I know what the law says concerning citizens using deadly force. I have a CCL.

I'm pointing out the fact that if the same circumstances happened to me in my house - and I shot the perp on my front lawn while he was unarmed and not in my house or posing an immediate threat to me or mine - that I would be arrested and charged with manslaughter at minimum or murder - depending on the ambitions of the state prosecutor.

No - my argument has NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE.

Just like a liberal, YOU are making it about race.

I’ll give you the point of state prosecutor and that may apply in your state. In my state it the local prosecutor.

The office was responding to a robbery and the fact that the resisting party ended up dead had nothing to do with his size. If he had simply followed the office’s orders, he would be alive and well today. Period!
