Micheal Brown had a right to punch a cop in the head?

GTH Eric Holder

This would eliminate police everywhere. Who would take on the job knowing if they defend themselves against blacks, their lives are ruined?

WHY is the federal government so dead set on finding SOMETHING they can charge the officers of several states with, regarding the deaths of culpable black men? The dead men were no innocents and the various grand juries could find no reason to indict the involved officers. That should be it.

Could it be that the Odungobots are seeking some diversion from the crises recently and currently being caused by Odungo? Bringing the illiterate disease-ridden illegal immigrant "children" into this country and then distributing them, the better to spread their diseases? Bringing 9,000 Syrians into this country? Letting go 5 very dangerous Gitmo thugs in return for a traitor? Ending the Cuban embargo without going through Congress? Releasing further dangerous Gitmo thugs so they can rejoin the fighting against us and kill Americans? Trying to influence Israeli elections to oust Netanyahu and bring in a tractable clown like himself?

This is why you don’t put racists into the highest offices in the land.

This is the type of insanity that the Left pulls in elections. When the results are too close to call, they will do a recount until they get the results they want.

There is nothing better than a good cop.

There is nothing worse than a bad cop.

The Rodney King beating did seem a bit excessive to me.
But IMO bringing federal charges was double-jeopardy and should NEVER have happened.

IMO OJ was guilty as sin, the jury voted not guilty even though some of them surely knew he was indeed guilty. That is the right of any juror. Even though he was guilty I would not have supported bringing federal charges in a second attempt to find him guilty of a crime.

Government needs to follow the rules set out in the constitution. We are at a point where the rules are being dispensed with when they are inconvenient... this is very dangerous.

The absurd war on drugs is an appalling example of government not following the rules. It took a constitutional amendment to make alcohol illegal. They dispensed with that when they made marihuana illegal. At first they tried to get around the fact that it would take a constitutional amendment to ban the plant by requiring a tax stamp to legally possess the plant...then they refused to sell the stamps. This was an obvious violation of the constitution...akin to requiring a tax stamp to exercise your 2nd amendment right to own a gun and then refusing to sell anyone the stamps.

Once government is allowed to get away with such shenanigans they will run wild.... and so we ended up with the insane war on drugs... and we have the government routinely violating the double jeopardy rules.

So what rights will we all lose next?

Justice? Or revenge by the DOJ (Holder)? Is the DOJ now at war against the people of the United States?

Knockout King Michael Brown had a right punch Darren Wilson so hard it caused Wilson suffer an “orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket.” Michael Brown had a right to shoot Darren Wilson in the left hip. Why did Wilson keep Brown from pulling the trigger and let the gun go off when he pulled it out of his hip? And, Michael Brown had the right to show Darren Wilson how well he can tackle him, like he learned on the Normandy High School football team.

the level of evidence for these charges is much higher than they have already faced at home.

People grasping at these straws blowing in the wind just seem pathetic and pathetic. It is time to put the crap away and get a firm grasp on reality. There will be no charges because there were no crimes on the part of the LEO's.

I want to challenge the liberals, how about any area with a mostly black population can only have black policemen.

and then let’s see if any “unarmed” black people get shot.

This is shoddy reporting. Brown and King are vastly different facts. Rodney was taken out and beaten for 2 minutes by 4 cops, who were still acquitted by a jury despite a highly inflammatory video. For Brown there is no video and there is evidence showing the officer was attacked (his injuries) and conflicting witness testimony about what Brown did. Unlike King the key witness is dead. Case dismissed.
