Try going to MSNBC's website. I heard on Fox News Network about Officer Wilson's injuries. Within 5 minutes, I found this posted at Foxnews.com:

He didn't share officer Wilson's version. Just rationally defended him very calmly while accusing the media and others of unjustly vilifying him

It's sad that those who serve and protect are treated like criminals, and criminals are elevated to an almost hero status. IMO.

I disagree.

Ask any 6 year old if it's okay to punch a cop.
Ask any 6 year old if it's okay to steal.

Yes, 18 year olds take more risks and think impulsively.
This is FAR outside the normal scope of stupid/foolish young man behavior.
This is very serious criminal behavior.

All IMO

What exactly do you think you are disagreeing with? It sounds to me you are actually agreeing but don't see it.

Ask any 6 year old if it's okay to punch a cop.
Ask any 6 year old if it's okay to steal.

is not a lot different than saying

high enough that they can be held accountable for their own actions.

and this

Yes, 18 year olds take more risks and think impulsively.

is not a whole lot different than

the maturity and understanding level of an 18 year old is not the same as a 40 year old

Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

apparently they don't have that in Ferguson. They need them though IMO. The long held mistrust is evident. Dash cams or those newer cams that attach to the front of officers uniforms would be a wise investment if the politicians want to do more than just give lip service to their wish for peace in Ferguson.

Columbia, MO is installing badge cams on all officers by Nov of this year. Some officers have tested them over the last year. Columbia is a college town primarily, so any racial makeup can change frequently. No matter what race, a parent (who normally is always from out of town and feels their kid is an angel.

The initial rollout cost may be a sting but if you compare that cost with the cost a jurisdiction has to pay to defend just one claim in a defense attorney(s) it will pay for itself. As a future LE officer, they can and could pay for their own badge cam as part of their uniform. They are not all that expensive. There is a "maintenance cost" to store the data but having had that in this case would be immeasurable evidence.

“They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move," the source said. "They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face.
The source claims that there is "solid proof" that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off – although it still remains unclear at this stage who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away according to the account, prompting Wilson to draw his gun and order him to freeze. Brown, the source said, raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, "What, you're going to shoot me?"
At that point, the source told FoxNews.com, the 6 foot, 4 inch, 300-pound Brown charged Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him, including the fatal bullet that penetrated the top of Brown's skull

Not a fan of Nancy Grace, but watched her rerun of MB family's attorney's interview the other night. I have already set my DVD for tonight to see if Nancy talks about the newest Officer Wilson injury reports.

If the officer was in fear, terror, as you describe it ...after being shoved back into his vehicle, punched in the face and struggling to maintain control of his weapon...it's justifiable fear. He has every right to act on that fear and stop the threat.

That's his JOB!

Was the weapon in a holster? Hip? Chest? or was it drawn out of the holster? Was the door open or closed? What was the position of his body in the SUV? I would really like to know these details. JMO

Thank You.It has an article and a video on it. This sucks. I need cable. But I can't afford it right now.I'm sure I'll hear it soon somewhere.

 

[bettybaby00]

But if the Governor demands a 'vigorous prosecution' then he is demanding an arrest, with charges and a trial. That is what he is asking for from the DA. And it makes him look very biased against the officer.

Exactly. You can't have a "vigorous prosecution" without a defendant.

You can however, have a vigorous INVESTIGATION without a defendant.

I don't understand what possible difference your questions could possibly make.

Absolutely justifiable! MB was himself a deadly weapon.

JMO Also, is it simply out of the realm of possibility that the eye injury was caused by recoil from the firing of the gun? JMO
