Mike Brown

[blowndodge]

The incident in Fersuson Mo. Where Mr. Brown lost his life to a bullet from an officer's gun. this resulted in rioting and looting by the mostly african american community.

The family is outraged as they claim this is an attempt to smear their loving son!

Hard to say what happened at this point.
He obviously isn't the "18 year old child" they keep describing him as.

The witness describing what happened was involved in the crime in the video so he may prove to be less than credible.

The cop had to go to hospital for injuries to his face. Where did that happen and how.

Multiple shots fired but neither the police or the family's attorney's are willing to release how many times he was shot or where. If it were the "execution" style murder they want it to be... I would think the family would have been screaming how he was shot in the back or in the back of the head.

Lots of "hear say" but nothing firm yet on what was going down at the time of the shooting to draw any kind of conclusion.

[gssbmm]

the officer involved was not aware of the "robbery" at the time of the incident.

Mike Brown was stop for walking in the middle of the street.

the police have said there were 4-6 shots fired.

there have been 3 eyewitness that have said that he was shot while his hands were up.

I'm sure the worlds a little bit better without him in it.

Lets see, a white cop shoots a black person so the black population riots, loots and burns down their own neighborhood, I think I have heard of this happening before
Didn't make sense to me then and does not make sense to me now

I don't understand the entire thing. Don't all police cars have cameras mounted to them? If they do why not show what was happening? If they don't where are the 10,000 people that show up with cameras every time something happens?

[blowndodge]

what i don't understand is the family's position of Brown was a peace loving gentle man who only strong arm robs.. what a son!!!

It is kind of strange with all the "witnesses" no one had or used a cell phone to capture the actual incident.....

I just get tired of this whole Black/White thing that the Blacks want to keep whining about. Seems to me that the Blacks are more prejudice than the whites,,,,,,, I don't know about you guys but I don't know any slaves personally... Be interesting to see how much of our tax money goes to pay for another piece of sh*t's trial who most likely got what he deserved.

[blowndodge]

so what happened last night? The crowd looted the store Mr. Brown robbed and destroyed his business. Yea, that's going to improve relations...

The other odd thing is that a black cop shoots a white person and no riots, no looting, no burning. I can't recall it ever happening before. That makes even less sense to me.

So I didn't see JJ and Sharpton running to Detroit expressing outrage over the beating of Steve Utash. The world needs more people like Deborah Hughes.

Not sure what happened in Ferguson but I can assure you there are many facts we don't know.....and may never know.

Brad, The outrage is that they believe he was shot while surrendering. Maybe he was. Maybe not. Forensics may be able to determine if his hands/arms were raised in the air. Until then it's all just speculation.

Oh, and when wasn't a shooting a good excuse to loot, rob and burn buildings. It's been that way throughout my lifetime.
