    Yes. All the other sites that you consider mainstream (Above Top Secret, Jeff Rense, What Really Happened, David Icke, Godlike Productions) carried the same story.

    About what exactly? In this case the autopsy will show that the guy was shot and not much else.

    Come to think of it: it could confirm that he hit the cop if they find abrasions on his knuckles.

    Currently missing from the autopsy is a toxicology report, which may still be as much as two weeks away. I'd like to know if he had any drugs in his system, which would explain some of his behaviors that seem irrational.

    There's an old Southern saying that still applies; you can't reason with a drunk. I'd say that goes double for most drugs, other than weed.

    When people push for quicker action in the criminal justice system, I wonder if they realize that speeding up that system would lead to the incarceration of more innocent people, the majority of them being low income black males. That's the last thing we need.

    Now I'm hearing that some of the worst troublemakers in the protest areas are from out of town, some from as far away as Chicago. That explains a lot, and it makes sense. After Hurricane Katrina, the worst looting in New Orleans was done by gangs from Memphis, Dallas, and Miami. Putting a black guy in charge of the police or in the White House doesn't magically change criminals into good people.

    I know curfews are a pain in the ass, but they may be needed there a while longer. Isn't 14 hours a day long enough for protesters to express themselves? People who are up to no good just seem to feel a lot bolder late at night, for one reason or another.

    I have no doubt in my mind that the kid was up to no good, since security camera footage shows him holding up a clerk minutes before he was shot. I don't think the cop shot him simply because he was black. To me, this is not even the issue. The issue is militarized police treating people like this is a third world country, and trampling over people's rights. That is what this whole debate should be about. I am sick of the racial bullshit and how it's exploited to create this very situation we're witnessing.

    So apparently the national guard arrived but when then action started they hung back.

    What a colossal waste of time and money.

    So you don't see any racial element in a 70 per cent black-majority town where law and order is overseen by 50 white cops and three black cops?

    Here's how the American media would have covered this had it happened in another country;

    ''Chinese and Russian officials are warning of a potential humanitarian crisis in the restive American province of Missouri, where ancient communal tensions have boiled over into full-blown violence,''

    I'm so fucking confused. I thought the whole police force was being taken off this when the highway patrol was sent in a few days ago but the next day I hear about more clashes with the police. Then I hear the national guard is being sent in but I'm still hearing about clashes with the police. Why the fuck are the police still involved in this when they've grossly mishandled everything?



    the autopsy shows he was shot 6 times, twice in the head and once in the back of his arm which indicates he either had his hand raised or was walking way.

    Pissing contest. As I said in post above: the National Guard arrived but hung back last night.





    As I said, not much.

    it shows the police used excessive force and will be useful if he is charged with murder. It also shows he had his hands in the air and was therefore surrendering to the police, not resisting arrest. So the autopsy is actually pretty telling.

    As you said in your earlier post: or the guy ran. For which there seems to be one or more eyewitnesses.

    He could also have charged police with raised arms.

    Too many possibilities.

    Anyways, that second autopsy report was quoted as saying that he was struck by "at least" 6 bullets.
    What? You don't fucking know? This is ridiculous.

    Here is the press conference given last night by Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol.

    He talks about all the activity that supposedly occurred last night.

    He shows guns and un-used molotov cocktails that were supposedly confiscated last night.

    He uses all this to dress down and shame the media and as a supposed excuse for police banning media and confining them to specific locations.

    Yeah, I laughed when they brought him out all of a sudden.

    The first issue is something for the local people to deal with on their own. I have no idea how a mostly black community ended up with a nearly all white city government and police force, but they have to fix that at the ballot box. The second issue has national significance because it's a national trend. Police forces everywhere have been given military weapons to fight terrorists, and they want to use them on everybody.

    Their assignment last night was to guard the police command center, which had been attacked the previous night. They may be given other responsibilities later.

    The first autopsy completed by the county coroner could reveal the angle of the shots, the order in which the shots were fired, the lethal shot, the distance the shots were fired, the toxicology of the victim, were there signs of struggle …….etc……..

    He's also the token peacenik.

    He's there to make it look like the protesters are out of line and the police are peaceful and reasonable and on the side of justice - and to put on a sympathetic "don't hit me, I'm on your side" face.

    He says reasonable things that seem groundbreaking, if you've been listening to the other police chief and the rest of that insanity - like, maybe stealing a box of cigars ISN'T justification for summary execution - imagine that, so compassionate....

    Heed my warning; if you think the rioting and looting is bad now just wait until the officer is tried and acquitted – can you say L.A. Riots
