MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #10

[liloleme]

Revolvers don't have slides....just sayin' in case someone wants another option.

Couldn't have been a revolver. Most revolvers are 6 shots. More than 6 shots were fired.

And he put the item back on the counter and wanted no part of stealing.

Yuppers, when I first saw the video I thought he was being honest and pondering how wrong it would be to steal from the shop keeper too. I guess I am still sometimes gullible like that!

Honesty...lol....conscience....or maybe an active warrant. One of those things.

IMHO the autopsy proves it not to mention the videos posted on YouTube

There is no proof the autopsy says that. IT only shows his head was down when he was shot through the top of the head. That could have been just because he was going down at that point. It only points to the position of the wound not anything about what actually happened to cause that trajectory.

Well, personally I don't think MB is "completely innocent." He made some bad choices. I just don't think he deserved to die from them. Police should only shoot a suspect as a last resort. Given this and the other recent incident nearby with the guy who stole the snacks and was also shot to death, I think police in that area are too quick to shoot suspects rather than using other methods to subdue/arrest them.

I'm sure they'd let you ride along for a week to see what their job is like to give you a better perspective on deciding when they should shoot or not.

Giving an interview with CNN. I am sorry, but don't you think it's possible he had some preparation on what to say? I very much doubt he used those words while talking to a police officer.
You are the one who brought it up. That it was not believable he was using these words.

and now he's represented by Freeman Bosley Jr Esq !!! Oh, the audacity of his eloquence

poor kid (22 yo) -- his social media & early interviews are going to haunt him - not to mention his arrest warrant

Well as far as I can tell... We can safely rule out Officer Wilson climbing on top of his SUV and shooting down from above striking Brown on the top of his head....

But tune in tomorrow to the MSM perhaps they'll interview a "witness" that claims just that...

I predict that it will end at the GJ.

me, too

 

[JLSChook]

My post was ignored yet again. :sigh:

It gets kind of frustrating when certain points are harped on over and over again and the posts that are trying to answer those 'harps' get ignored.

Maybe the real laws and facts of this case aren't interesting enough. :dunno:

I think there are so many problems with all the eye witness testimony and often we know that EWT is not always accurate.
I don't ever take EWT as gospel without corroborating evidence.

I see a lot of little discrepancies with both sides and so it is hard to find the truth.

But then I see somethings that both sides have in common.

It is not clear cut and dry for me yet. I still see many possibilities about what happened that day.

The problem is that there are ALWAYS going to be discrepancies on both sides. And it is never going to be cut and dry. It never is. Things are always more complicated than that.

For myself, I have to look at who started it off. Who was the aggressor? The entire tragedy unfolded within 50 seconds. IMO, MB had been in an aggressive, antagonistic mode for the previous 20 minutes already. I think that the officer stumbled into it. jmo

 

[krimekat]

They were walking in the street. That is jaywalking nothing more. As someone who lived in Philly, It is common and annoying but still just jaywalking.

StL isn't Philly & walking in the middle of a thoroughfare into an apt complex on Saturday Noon is not wise! Especially when there is not only a sidewalk but a bike/jogger track . . . total lack of respect for LE IMHO -- kids need to be taught to respect authority! Question it, but respect it - I feel for MB & all the other MBs who are struggling today

It's up to YOU to get out of the madness - and strangling a little shop clerk ain't the way! Even for cigars . . .

 

[Trident]

My first thought listening to Bosley was incredulity that he'd ever been elected Mayor of St Louis. Then Williams, DJ's new attorney jumps in to save Bosley from himself, and the first thing he says is that Ofc. Wilson shot both DJ and MB?

I did not hear that part. I did hear a lot of double talk, see a lot of hand signals, hand wringing, and brow mopping, but I missed that.

What about being hit on the top of the head while falling? It's a perfectly logical explanation. I am not a forensic examiner, but the pattern of gun shots, to me, matches the pattern that someone falling while being shot at repeatedly would have.

Does that mean we cannot disagree or have a viewpoint different from the majority of posters? That does not seem fair.


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes you can disagree. Posters cannot, however, state things as facts and then argue that those facts are wrong when links have been provided to prove otherwise. When rumors are accepted as fact it hurts the integrity of this website. We are all after the truth and speculation is encouraged but not rumors that have no basis in fact.

It is good to read the rules. Although WS's support law enforcement which is clearly defined in our rules we try to remain objective in all matters of crimes.

He might have been falling at that point. But the cop would have shot him BEFORE he was falling. While he was approaching him.

Yeah, falling tripping, on his way down for whatever reason...maybe while rushing in a bull like manner etc the key... IMO he was moving FORWARD toward the officer. IMO

LOL...it was obviously thought up by a third rate attorney. It is utterly laughable!

The sad thing is when the attorney suggested that statement Dorian actually thought it sounded smart.

 

[liloleme]

My understanding is that MB MAY have touched the officer's gun earlier, in the patrol car. At the time he was shot, there is no indication that MB was trying to take away OW's gun. He was not near enough to OW at that time to do so.

I'm sure it will be shown that MB didn't just "touch" the gun. That carries the connotation of an accidental, unintentional action.

At the time he was shot, there is no indication that MB was trying to take away OW's gun.

Are you saying that in order for an officer to be JUSTIFIED in shooting a person, the suspect has to be *actively* taking away the officer's gun at the time they are shot? Surely not.

Falling is equivalent to advancing on an officer? <modsnip>
