    That's what I was hoping for, at the very least. Maybe manslaughter 2. Brown may have been a criminal, but, to the best of my knowledge, he wasn't being violent. In fact, reports say that he was running AWAY from Wilson. The least Wilson could've done was shoot to wound, as opposed to shooting to kill, but I think that would've been considered excessive force, as well. Maybe even unlawful discharge of a firearm with intent to kill or cause bodily harm.

    Based on what I know about the case, I agree with Brown's parents. They believe Wilson just wanted to kill someone(not necessarily Brown, but simply someone), just to know what it felt like, and he probably assumed he'd get away with it because Brown had broken the law by stealing some cigarillos.

    I admit that I don't know too much about the case, other than the fact that Wilson murdered an unarmed kid and is probably gonna get is probably just gonna get a slap on the wrist, if anything.

    I leave you with this:

    "All you punk police will never find peace on the streets 'til the niggas get a piece........FUCK 'EM". Keep in mind, Tupac once got the shit kicked out of him by some cops for nothing more than jaywalking. The PD settled out of court and they had to pay Tupac a lot of money. He got his revenge in ATL though, when two off-duty cops with "dirty" guns were harassing a black man, so Pac intervened. Then the cops came over to Pac's car and busted a window or two and walked off. As they were walking away, Pac got down on one knee, took aim, and shot both of the cops; one in the ass and one in the leg(at least, I think it was the leg). He got away with it too, because the cops were dirty. Pac didn't mess around.

    Seriously...autopsy finding show that he was coming at Wilson when the fatal shot was fired. And no such thing as shoot to wound, real life is not Hollywood.

    And, to you, that warrants being shot to death?

    For the record, I was talking about the president in post 143...not Darren Wilson.

    Thanks for clearing that up. Like I said, I don't know too many of the details. Still, the fact remains, Brown was unarmed. The whole thing could've been handled with a taser. or the cop could've just taken his ass-whooping like a man and arrested Brown at a later date. I refuse to believe that there was no way for the incident to be resolved without killing Brown.

    Did you ever stop to think how it may have played out if Brown was a white dude? A white dude may have ran or fought Wilson, but I doubt Wilson would've shot him.

    I don't know whether he was "coming at him" or not but my understanding of the autopsy is that it said no shots entered his back (as initially rumored). That confirms that he was facing the cop when he was shot. That is not the same as confirming that he was coming at him....although you would think there should be some sort of way to tell by the wounds whether or not they were all inflicted from the same distance.

    Fuckinay. Anyone that steals cigars needs shot immediately. Or sooner.

    What happened with using pepper spray first?

    He acted like a bully, no doubt. Perhaps had he been sprayed with pepper spray and thrown in jail, he would have learned to act correctly

    instead of bullying people.

    Guess we'll never know.

    why do you suppose that the cop would react differently, given the same exact situation (other than the race of the suspect)?

    Maybe if you have not already been assaulted by someone bigger then you and maybe if he has not already gone for your gun.

    At some point brown was moving away from the car, perhaps after being shot in the hand while still next to the car. The officer evidently followed brown away from the car and started "back peddling fast" while firing his gun when brown again came toward him. There appears to me to be a moment when a better choice could have been made. Why did the officer start pursuing brown when he was obviously over matched instead of calling for help? The answer seems immediately clear to me from his testimony that he was relying on deadly force to settle it, that he had made the decision to kill him. I think he went to far too fast but the grand jury obviously found that understandable. Why is it understandable, because when imagining the scenario the jurors feel the same fear and they would rather someone else deal with it and thank them for being brave. The criminal justice system is not about justice but mitigating fear.

    When did taking a beating now and then from a criminal become part of the job description for being a police officer?

    I don't know how anybody could make the lesson from this any simpler: DON'T FUCK WITH THE POLICE!

    Fuckin' thug twice my size pulls shit like that (Video) with me and I have a piece, yeah I might just shoot his ass. But I'm not a cop.


    I can't say for sure thats Brown in the video, and I don't know exactly what transpired at the time of the shooting.

    I was only posting the video in question.

    I see I violent thug stealing cigars from a convenience store not "holding up a liquor store" but thats beside the point. There was no need for him to be shot 9 TIMES! when he was unarmed.

    Sure he was being stupid but there is no evidense he was ever armed and then his body was just left in the street for hours.

    Fuck these riots though there should be non-violent protests, not just in Ferguson but all over the clountry. What we want is justice. What we want is to see that this doesn't happen again. What we want is for these cops to be held accountable for abuse of power which is happening every day, all over the country even as we speak.

    Like TopNotchStoner said the whole thing could have been handled with a taser! Damn. I hope he gets sued for wrongful death at the very least.

    Acting on knowledge of how the real world works? Yeah, everybody has to do that... if you want to survive.

    Don't like the system? Get involved in politics. Hire a lawyer. Whatever. Just don't live in denial of reality.

    And why exactly should authorities in Missouri care about the opinions of people from other states? We don't vote or pay taxes in that state.

    I can't say for sure if this is true but I just read something saying that the hospital report said the officer had no bruises, scrapes, etc. and was in good shape during a visit to the hospital after the shooting. That begs the question....why would you go to the hospital if there was nothing wrong with you? Maybe that's just procedure. But then...how is he shown in that pic with a bruise on his face? I get that dark bruises can take a while to develop but you'd think there would have been something to mention in that report. I once hit a guy with a pretty hard jab (in a competition) and his eye was starting to swell shut in the locker room just a few minutes after the match...and I was wearing gloves....granted...lighter gloves but still...

    Often, taking a beating from a criminal IS part of the job description. Wilson knew the dangers of being a LEO when he signed up. If he's so much of a bitchboy that he can't take a beating, then he should choose a different occupation.

    Besides, if he would've taken the beating(if, in fact, Brown was gonna beat his ass.......we'll never know), then, like I said in a previous post, he could've arrested him at a later date with felony assault of a LEO and resisting arrest, instead of misdemeanor assault and shoplifting.

    The point is..............BROWN WAS UNARMED. That's murder, imo. At the very least voluntary or involuntary manslaughter.
