Support grows for Darren Wilson, officer who shot Ferguson teen Michael Brown
CNN ^ | 8/19/2014 | CNN

Posted on 08/19/2014 12:41:44 PM PDT by Dallas59

(CNN) -- While the nation is watching and hearing the angry protests in support of black shooting victim Michael Brown, a different kind of support is being voiced for the white police officer who fatally shot the unarmed teenager.

In a first account of its kind, a caller to Radio America's "The Dana Show," who identified herself only as Josie, told listeners a detailed account of Officer Darren Wilson's side. A source with detailed knowledge of the investigation told CNN it accurately matched what the officer has told investigators.

"He said all of a sudden, he just started to bum rush him," she said. "He just started coming at him full speed, and so he just started shooting and he just kept coming."

It would be awesome if a huge crowd would appear to counter the rioters and looters.

The militia has been to Nevada for Bundy, Tejas for the border...why not to lend a helping hand in St. Louis?

I just hope he lived long enough to hear the first couple of shots heading his way.

I have known people like that. I am 6’5 and weigh 250 and often get mistaken for people like that (disclaimer- I have never been in a fight in my life)

Big and dumb, they throw their weight around to get their way so much that they think they can do anything, to anyone - even a cop.

He probably thought he already knocked the cop down once, and figured he could rush him and do it again... only to be surprised that his “You ain’t gonna shoot me” taunt was dead wrong (emphasis on dead)

I wish he had live long enough to suffer the consequences of his actions a while.

Big dumbass could have possibly made a lot of money in the NFL.

If Varicott admitted him, their standards are right down there with Harvard.

I have also heard a lawyer on the radio explain that LEGALLY once you make physical contact with someone carrying a gun you are BOTH considered to be ‘in possession’ of the firearm and so he was NOT UNARMED.

I believe the officer that he tried to take his gun and would have done it again.

I hope that cop is SAFE! I feel so sorry for him.

I wouldn't blame Officer Wilson if he was already out of the USA and headed for a country where there is no extradition agreement.

If the Grand Jury does or doesn't indict him we can be sure that the racist Attorney General, Eric Holder, will trump up some bogus charges to make every day of his life pure hell from now until the day he dies.

no, he was lazy and chose not to play football at all, much less the NFL

My across the street neighbor giant was all state in high school with a full ride but wouldn’t buckle down to his studies. He flunked out.

He took up with a bad crowd and while his folks were on vacation, his buddies got him drunk and then burglarized his house. He has no job and is your basic ner do well exjock.

I can’t speak for the militia but I would assume that neither side in Ferguson want them there.

At about 2:45pm Central time today there was another fantastic interview on Dana Loesch's radio program with a caller who said he was a police officer from a nearby municipality who's been doing 12+ hour shifts in Furguson for the last 8 days. He said it seemed to him that the rioters were nearly 100% from out of town (from as far away as California) and he has no problem with the local residents whatsoever.

This one could go national too, or it should be posted here - http://www.971talk.com/media/podcasts/dana-show. Check for the 3rd hour of the 8/19 show to be added.

Looks like the local college won't confirm about Brown's bright future.

Gentle Giant Brown's college admission papers are safely stored with Barack Obama's birth certificate.

My prayers that the Grand Jury does not indict the officer.

Probably explains why Holder is going there / to pressure them in some ways to do so / racial division means everything to him and Obama’s agenda, along with to get back whitey.

Has anyone noticed all of these ignorant bastards have pictures on social media in which they flip off the camera? Is that a requirement now to be a f***ing dumb****???

Well, now, not confirming or denying isn’t conclusive either way. I don’t blame them for not releasing this info. They risk a Kent State-style arson party if the answer is not correct.

There has also been rumors of a shot fired while Michael Brown was fighting officer Darren Wilson for his gun.

Gunshot evidence inside the vehicle will be another damning piece of evidence.

But Hey! ...who needs evidence when there's an opportunity to riot, burn & steal stuff.

I posted a few days ago wondering if he took the nickname "Big Mike" from the movie "The Blind Side" about Michael Oher.

Expect an indictment to be pushed by Holder tomorrow.

I foresee a trial like the Rodney King police trial where this officer will be found not guilty by a local county jury.

Then Holder will indict the officer for a Civil Rights violation and get a conviction.

Will Ferguson Police Officer Be Indicted for Michael Brown’s Death?

Holder said: We demand a “fair trial and hang him.”

“Admission papers”

I doubt that. I think I heard he would have been going to college in a few days.........that probably means he was going to walk onto the campus, ax sum questions and while he was there lift some cigars. His family would then say he was the first in the family to make it to college, the other relatives just did their lifting in the neighborhood.

Prospective members of the St. Louis County jury pool:

Question:

If you’re going 80 mph how long will it take go to 80 miles? Easy enough right?

We all know that Officer Wilson was recently commended for “extraordinary effort in the line of duty.” But why hasn’t anyone reported on the specifics of that commendation? Wouldn’t it be interesting if we learn that he went above and beyond to help a black citizen?

Any pretense of actual journalism is over in this country.
