The Ferguson, Mo. police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in August said in an interview aired on Tuesday that there was "no way" Michael Brown had his hands up right before he was killed -- disputing one of the core controversies at the heart of a case that touched off nationwide protests and racial unrest.

Actually, this should be posted to ALL.

Any theories as to WHY Brown charged at Officer Wilson?

especially now that marijuana is becoming illegal [I assume you meant "legal"] ...one must ask...will there be future situations like this as well??

Any increase in marijuana use after legalization will pretty much by definition be among socially adjusted people for whom the previous illegality of marijuana was reason enough to not use it. Sociopaths like Brown already have ready access to marijuana and no compunction about using it.

Hey thanks!

They said he went almost to the end of the block. Waited about 1 or 2 seconds. Spun around and ran back.

I was wondering if he knew he was a gonner ... dying IOW.

“Ferguson wasn't about police brutality, and the President knows it. If he wanted a teachable moment this was his opportunity. He could have talked about how blacks are 13% of the population in America and over 50% of homicide victims; how 91 % of these victims are murdered by other blacks and how, therefore, "communities of color" are dependent on a police presence for survival. He could have talked about how one quarter of the members of the grand jury that chose not to indict Officer Wilson were black. He could even have attacked the racist assumption that blacks will naturally react with mindless violence to decisions like this one; and that they alone of all American minority groups will be exempt from censure when they do. There are many ways a truly "post racial" President could have spoken truth to the power of the mob that exploded in violence in Ferguson. But instead Barack Obama enabled it as his racist advisor on racial affairs, Al Sharpton, swooped into Ferguson to pour gasoline on the flames.” (David Horowitz)

Obama and Holder declarations from the first day of the death of the young Black killed by white cop were directed to incite the racial riots. Upon their conscience, or lack of it, rest the main responsibility for the Ferguson riots.

The thug had already tried to take Wilson’s firearm once and was CHARGING back at him. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Brown was intent on taking his firearm.

If Wilson didn’t shoot to kill, he was gonna be dead in mere moments.

But the idiots who support Brown, no matter what the facts are, simply refuse to think beyond their narrow heads.
