Well the nice thing is that we can just reuse the old reinstatement thread.

Welcome back.

To the OP, I'm not 100% sure either way, but it's certainly looking better for the officer as more information comes out.

In Ferguson, the white dude would not get shot.


In Louisville he would. Happened not that long ago actually.

While I can agree with the first part of your statement, I think the later part is a direct correlation of crime rates among young black men.

I agree, but Michael Brown was not killed because he was black, he was killed because he was a Tpos, period.

Autopsy says he had drugs in his system

Video shortly before shows he was aggressive and agitating

Witness on Video says that he was rushing the police officer

Officer has Hospital evidence of being hit forcefully in the face

bullet wounds are from the front of the body

The above are not opinions.....

My opinion is he rushed the cop, a struggle took place, he was shot.

2. There is direct, unbiased testimony in a recording just after it.


There are lots of serious words in this statement.

Link to this unbiased testimony?

That's pretty much my opinion. If I had a son he'd look like Darren Wilson.

I wish everyone would quit their shenanigans on the other side of the state, is my damn opinion.

Remember how at the beginning of the movie "Outbreak" the military drops that bomb on that Red Cross camp in Africa...

I think it's slowed down, finally, Tbird. I think it will be a quiet night. Relatively.

Thank goodness. Tired of this drama. Not even following the story closely yet I know a shitload of details from folks asking/pontificating to me about the matter.

I'm just annoyed as a MO resident at this point, tbh And I'm cranky.

No. There's some things that need explaining.


No, there's not.

A police officer asking you to get out of the street is a perfectly reasonable and lawful request if you're impeding traffic -- which is probably why they approached in the first place.

They don't need to explain anything if the cop's got a fractured orbital and forensic evidence.

I know you desperately want the police to be wrong in this situation but there is absolutely nothing that will come to light to prove it outside of video evidence.

It is a reasonable request. It is not reasonable to escalate that situation.

You seem to want it to be against the cops in almost every thread.

Your seeking for truth seems to be very biased.

Who is the one who has a blowout orbital fracture?

At about six minutes and thirty seconds in someone details exactly what happened firsthand.

Right after the "World Star".

So I arrive at the same conclusion as you with one caveat and I'm biased in my truth seeking. Seems stupid. But that's par.

No one? Per CNN reporter

Wilson was taken to the hospital after the shooting. He had xrays which came back negative. He was treated for a swollen face.
