MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #17

[Klood-N]

Link to the "order to freeze"- please!
Also, yo useem to have left out the part where MB was running away- that is kind of significant too, no?
MOO

It's posted not far back. It'd probably help if you read back a bit.

He COULD have been killed while fleeing, if the majority of witnesses are correct. And that is what is problematic here. As everyone says, he was probably aiming at center mass, and there were 11-12 bullets shot.
"Judge, jury and executioner" is a phrase that is supposed to remind us the value of our current justice system, and that it should not be subverted.

MOO

It is legal to use lethal force to stop a fleeing felon.

Yep been linked and posted a bunch.

I don't see how sitting in folding chairs in an empty pking lot is going to prevent that.

It hasn't faded yet. We're still talking about it. It's being covered by MSM. Some changes have already been announced. Frankly, I prefer that kind of protest or making your voices be heard over blocking a highway.

The only purpose of leaking information that isn't favorable to Officer Wilson is to influence public opinion and impair his ability to receive an impartial jury. Since when is this "justice?" The video isn't evidence. Some guy putting his hands in the air and offering commentary on what he claims he just saw isn't evidence. It's irresponsible journalism to even show it. No different than when the NY Post ran a photo of two men--innocent men--and referred to them as "bag men" being pursued as suspects in the Boston bombing. It wasn't true.

JMO

Same purpose as the PD's leaking the robbery video, and vague reports of OW's injuries. The well was already poisoned long ago, thanks to the FPD and other witnesses.
I don't think I would call this commentary, because I am sure there will be sworn testimony to go with it. That is good enough for me.

MOO.

Nope, someone is not an "executioner" for something that might have happened. The evidence clearly states all shots in front. Let's deal in facts and information not intentionally emotionally charged phrasing.

What the H-E-double toothpicks is wrong with people wanting to burn and destroy? That will remove jobs and services from area and cause residents to travel further for things. Ms Maria is seemingly doing her best to under mind any stability.

You have to understand the mindset, that it isn't the same one held by the founders of this country, the ones who fought in the Revolution, or the Civil War. The mindset of our forefathers was about building a country of laws and freedom. The mindset today is about tearing down everything that was good in this country. Today's mindset wants this beautiful country to devolve into little haiti, or south africa.

My opinion only

Well, hopefully OW's testimony matches the majority of witnesses, so we can trust it. Because if his credibility becomes a problem, then we will not know what to believe about the initial encounter. MOO.

Do you mind if I borrow your sentence in the future if needed? If I knew a damn thing about computers I'd ask to use it as my sig quote or whatever you call that.

It does. Read back to mine and sonjay's posts earlier today. Links, data, information, and analysis galore by many today.

Thanks for asking. Yes I mind. Respectfully as I can say it, I think my words and your posting style do not blend.

I think it is a matter of perspective. Some may view it as tearing down those things that are still wrong in this country.

The front or anterior side of the arm is the side where your palms are. When a person is walking, running or even just standing, this side of their arm does not always face to the front.

 

[Clar]

Great question and as far as I know we haven't heard. This is one item I would love to hear more of.

I think this is one of the KEY points of the investigation we need at this point, as it will provide more insight into HOW/WHERE/WHAT the shooting of MB entailed. I only got some simple insight into what this means that those details will agitate the masses more so...either way that will happen, if it supports MB or if it supports OW. I suspect it supports OW however because if it supports MB it would probably expedite the process of reconciliation with the masses.

That is why I asked before I did. I thought you might have an issue with it. But thanks for keeping it respectful.

 

[Sonya610]

I seriously doubt it. Shooting to wound -- e.g., aiming for an arm -- is never taught or recommended. If you find it necessary to fire, you aim for center of mass, period.

Exactly. And if you aim for an arm or a leg you can be looking at charges for assault. Not a good thing.

You think he was executed by the arm shot? Because that's what this string of posts references.

 

[Klood-N]

Link to OW's testimony please?

I'll do you one better since you're having trouble searching the thread. Be right back.

I think Fergusons largest issue is ignorance, Both White/Black/Purple groups seem to have little notion of how things work or the consequences of what they "Demand".

MOO.

And they faked video of the strong armed robbery as well?

Wow. I didn't know most local police forces had the budget to hire that kind of talent.
