MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #12

[aa9511]

Do you have a link to support that it is a fact MB was fleeing a crime scene? Thanks!

Getting the hang of this link thing!

bbm

LOL!!! I have noticed that!

 

[EvilSoup]

Usually I drop it. More so with this case because imamaze worked hard to give us a media thread that makes it super easy to find things.

I know and she rocks.

But I cannot find any links stating that MB was high on doctored up blunts. Or many other claims. But now I know not to ask and also to just flash my cool letters when i am asked! Lol

Guess what????? It's time to move over to a new thread....:tomato: (there tomatoes) Moving over in 10 minutes.

Your right...zero sense...unless you're stoned out of your mind. I mean, why else would you think you could strong arm rob a store and not have the police called? Not be caught on camera? Walk down the center of a fairly busy road carrying stolen merchandise and not get out of the street when a cop tells you to. MB did a lot of things that are already documented that show he most certainly wasn't acting or thinking like a logical person whatsoever. OW just got up that morning, got dressed and went to work.

Just makes me wonder if this is a normal day for MB and thinks nothing of walking into a store, taking what he wants and shoving people around since it clearly shows he's not bothered by it from the vid cam at the store. I can't even imagine not running away and layin low.

MB could have had a knife. What do I think MB was gonna do with it after he took it? I think he was going to kill Officer Wilson

Re why MB was running toward Officer Wilson, me personally, I think MB was on something and I also think he was cocky enough to think Officer Wilson wouldn't shoot him. He wouldn't be the first person to do something that stupid and he won't be the last I'm sure.

And speaking of incredible claims, did you hear the one about how an LEO with commendations and no complainst filed against him in the 6 years he's served all the sudden one day decides to shoot and kill an unarmed teen known as a gentle giant walking to grandmas house in broad daylight?!

Pretty incredible, right?

If he had a knife, again why wouldn't he have used it instead of just trying to get OW's gun?

But he ran away first. You really think that after running away...he suddenly stops and decides to run like a linebacker back to him?

Just because OW had never been in trouble before doesn't mean he wasn't suddenly as stupid as you claim MB to have been. It makes much more sense to me that OW didn't use his best judgement than to say MB didn't use his.

We "know" (at least IMO, based on what we know of the case and what was released by the ME - I think - the day after Baden's autopsy) that MB had marijuana in his system. Again, IMO (and possibly experience?) being high on marijuana does NOT make you lose all sense of self. It doesn't make you so stupid that you are going to go running away from bullets and then suddenly turn around and run towards them.

 

[Frydaddy]

It depends upon how long you've been away. Sound recording recorded the shooting (we think) that shows about 10 total shots (6 at first then a pause then 4 more)
Someone is trying to get MB's juvenile records as rumors are saying he has a juvenile record with a 2nd degree murder charge and that he is a crip
Black Panthers disguised as lawyers are suing Ferguson police for brutality brought on by the BPs inciting the looting and violence
Rumor that MBs DNA found on OWs face and OWs DNA found on MBs hands
DJs bracelet seems to have fallen off somehow at the scene of the incident right next to OWs vehicle
We have determined that OW was coming TOWARD MJ and DJ - yet for some reason, many of us thought he came up behind them

LOL - I see I have been failing the group since thread number two when I explained all this...a few times!

RE: a knife, I was answering this question of corndogs

I am just gonna jump in here...

For all of you saying "OW didn't know he didn't have a weapon"...at the same time saying "He tried to take OW's gun!"

How does that compute in your heads? If he had a gun, he would have pulled it out and used it instead of trying to take OW's!! Since you seem to think he tried to take it...what was he gonna do with it? Throw it in the bushes?

And another thing. Regarding the radio caller. She said MB yelled at OW "What are you gonna do...shoot me?" and then "bumrushed" OW. He had already shot him in the car!

What person do you know that has already been shot goes running TOWARDS a gun being fired in their direction? I would love to hear the explanation for that! After first running away?

There are some pretty incredible claims being made out there. That make zero sense! Of course, IMO and all!

Well I suppose that anyone, at any time, "could have a knife" and it's not even illegal if it's under a certain size, at least in the State I used to live in. But I don't think that OW saw a knife in MB's hand because 1.) There was no knife used or shown in the robbery tape, and 2.) There was no knife in MB's hand when he died, and none mentioned in any reports about the body. So why do you think he had a knife again? Do you have a link to that?

 

[gngr~snap]

Do we actually know if MB was shot while wrestling with OW in the car? I understand the gun went off in the car, but was anyone shot?

ACK Blood on the police car! Comes on soon!

All posts are MOO

I think he posted or tweeted about it, but I never saw it and have no link.

All posts are MOO

Why is everyone of the opinion that OW had a great record when he came from such a troubled past professionally (IMHO)? His last force was disbanded because of documented abuses against the AA community. (see link) Did everyone read this, I hadn't seen it dscussed here.

Was the blood from gunshot wounds, or was it from OW being punched?

It's not you, it's me and I really mean that :biggrin:

GPS saved my life, seriously, I'm that challenged when it comes to directions

Honestly...I have no idea why I ever assumed such a thing...I guess because in my mind I had assumed that no one would walk down the center of a street with someone, especially a cop, coming right at you and not move!! I guess I thought it would make more sense if the cop was behind you and you hadn't really noticed because you were talking or whatever...these guys were really bold, IMO.

Yes, I read it and it was quite troubling. Some really corrupt officers, and the problems with interacting with the AA community don't see to have gone away after they switched over to Ferguson. IMO.

Those were my exact thoughts too!

 

[Lovejac]

Yeah, but you were saying without any proof or a statement of opinion that he "could have had a knife." That's how rumors get started. IMO. I know of no proof or even formal allegations of a knife being present at any time during this incident or the robbery.

:fishy: gotcha

There is a little triangle on the left hand side of every post. You can alert a mod to any post you feel needs a link. It really is that easy

No, I don't want to bother them for that. Just letting you know. I don't want someone to start saying "I heard MB had a knife!" or something.

AND he just ignored the second person that ran behind another car.

 

[Lovejac]

No, I don't want to bother them for that. Just letting you know. I don't want someone to start saying "I heard MB had a knife!" or something.

No worries, I already alerted.

Good point about the gun.

To answer the bolded:

-people think he was going to take his gun to shoot OW. (I think, b/c like you said, what other reason would it be for).

-Yes, people think exactly that. That he was running towards a gun being fired in his direction. And not just at the car, they think he ran away, and THEN CHANGED HIS MIND and turned BACK around to attack OW. After he had already been shot 2 times. (2 times because last set of shots in the audio tape had 4 bullet sounds, and he was shot total of 6 times, so that means 2 times had to be before he reached his final resting point).
