who is the fool on now???? :rolleye:

"thank god Eric Holder is going to make sure this is investigated. i still don't think there will be an indictment. everyone is talking about this officer's clean record. well maybe its considered clean b/c the dept is bad? i haven't seen one person of color come forward and speak highly of him. just b/c there aren't any reports, doesn't mean he didn't do bad things."

I don't really care about his juvie record since committing 2 felonies in 10 minutes is enough for me.

The real injustice might be when all these big names suck blood out of situation and leave Ferguson no better than they found it. To me that will be another tragedy.

But what if his juvie record shows a pattern? And let's not forget that if there is a juvie record to speak of (wink wink) then it could very well be very recent infractions.

Also, it could be a motive for why MB acted so aggressively -- doesn't want to get caught again. Serious trouble this time, etc.

All moo, all speculation.

So DJ will testify in front of the GJ if he is called and if he is available...?

Wow. Who said that?

These people are on a witch hunt. Facts and reality don't matter to them.

Continuing to deflect. :gaah:

I read an article somewhere on this thread earlier where someone said that MB was spreading the word of Jesus the day he was killed.

His lawyer.

Presumably none of these officers were doing anything wrong.

Other than political blogs this is the only place I found this information other than a memorial site for donations.

On average, an officer is killed somewhere in the United States every 58 hours and annually more than 58,000 officers are assaulted resulting in nearly 16,000 injuries each year.

So MB's family on CNN just now said .. what kind of person can put 6-7 bullets in a 18 y/o kid and then go on vacation?

:thud:

It's down right frightening to me

I'm so sad for my daughter, a 9 year old African American girl. These agitators are only making race relations go back rather than forward. I fear for her as she makes her way through this world. :sick:

What other important activities does he expect DJ to be doing?

Well, I don't know about "spreading the word of Jesus," but I do believe he put the fear of God in that little shop keeper.

I think by "available" he meant not in jail. Remember the warrant?

I read that. I didn't know robbing and picking up poor, defenseless shopkeepers by their neck was spreading the word of Jesus. :thinking:

 

[Lovejac]

Recording rap songs?

Stealing cigars?

But that would only work if he goes within 50 miles of the place who issued the warrant.

When DW is fully exonerated, where does he go to get his good name back after being demonized by politicians, celebrities, and the media?

I guess he can file a suit like anyone else accused of a crime who is found to be innocent. But he has yet to be found innocent, and he would have to prove that libel/slander were present as opposed to MSM reporting the small amount of info available.

BTW, since I was um, out of town for several days, whatever happened to the 'suborbital fracture' thing? Last I heard, that was being discounted by those in MSM, and many posters posited that perhaps the defense team planted the 'leak' to make LE look bad when it came out that the xrays showed no fracture.

What ever happened with that? What did the xrays actually show? I know OW would not have been bloody; those fractures are inside the body ( from reading here). So what about those pics that people are seeing a bloody face? I, myself, do not see it, and from the posters here with experience, there is no blood from that type of fracture.....

So what is the deal? Any official word? Medical report? Is OW in hospital?
