Directly analogous to global warming righteousness.
He should have known Brown was unarmed when Brown was reaching for his gun...

The two greatest threats to my personal safety:
(1) Cow farts.
(2) Racist, psychotic, Nazi-loving white police officers.
Wanna bet Wilson owned cows????
$18 trillion debt, ****** economic recovery, endemic unemployment, health care system set to implode, a generation that thinks it is owed ****? Does not matter at all.
Cow farts and racist cops. THOSE are the true danger.

White guy beaten to death by 4 teens with hammers. Race of suspects not mentioned. Who wants to take bets?
Only report that stuff when it fits the narrative.

I can't wait to see how thew Rams players react next Sunday. Should be good.
The white players should come out with hammers attached to their helmet like they've just been hit.
Charles Barkley...a black that gets it.
Says the looters are scumbags...supports the Grand Jury decision, displeased with media bias, supports the cops.

Or a couple of them could lie in a fetal position, while others pretend to swing hammers at them.
Odds on the NFL deciding they would have to be fined.
It they put their hands up again then cops should shoot them with rubber bullets.

Tons of cops work security and traffic at every NFL game. Why don't they tell the NFL they are on there own for the next Rams home game?

This pretty much sums up my issues with this case, all of which had an effect on the grand jury one way or another, as outlined by a public defender in CA. (see below).
What has also been bothersome has been a complete lack of empathy for an unarmed teenager shot six times and left lying in the street like a dog.
It also bothers me to see an increasingly omnipresent, militarized police force, along with an erosion of citizen's rights.
While it seems many of you see the backlash as a simple black/white thing, the case of a thug getting what he deserved, and you mock the anger and rioting in the streets, I look at it as a slice of a bigger picture that is quite troubling and worrisome. Not just for black Americans, but for all Americans. Who the **** wants to live in a fascist, police-state?

Now that grand jury evidence, including forensic records and testimony from Wilson has been released, Adachi is pointing out “biased legal and ethical decisions” made along the way.
Among those was allowing local prosecutor Robert McCulloch, who has strong family connections to police, to supervise the presentation of evidence, Adachi said in a written statement. As a result, Adachi said the police investigation was rife with the following problems:
• “Because it was a grand jury inquiry and not a trial, Wilson took the stand in secrecy and without benefit of a cross-examination. Prosecutors not only failed to probe his incredible testimony but frequently appeared to be bolstering his claim of self-defense. Transcripts reveal that witnesses whose accounts contradicted Wilson’s were rigorously questioned by prosecutors.
• Dorian Johnson, the key witness who was standing next to Brown during the encounter, provided strong testimony that called into question Wilson’s claim that he was defending his life against a deranged aggressor. Johnson testified that Wilson, enraged that the young men did not obey his order to get on the sidewalk, threw his patrol car into reverse. While Wilson claimed Brown prevented him from opening his door, Johnson testified that the officer smacked them with the door after nearly hitting the pair. Johnson described the ensuing struggle as Wilson attempting to pull Brown through the car window by his neck and shirt, and Brown pulling away. Johnson never saw Brown reach for Wilson’s gun or punch the officer. Johnson testified that he watched a wounded Brown partially raise his hands and say, ‘I don’t have a gun’ before being fatally shot.
• Wilson’s description of Brown as a ‘demon’ with superhuman strength and unremitting rage, and his description of the neighborhood as ‘hostile,’ illustrate implicit racial bias that taints use-of-force decisions. These biases surely contribute to the fact that African Americans are 21 times more likely to be shot by police than whites in the U.S., but the statement’s racial implications remained unexamined.
• Prosecutors never asked Wilson why he did not attempt to drive away while Brown was allegedly reaching through his vehicle window or to reconcile the contradiction between his claim that Brown punched the left side of his face and the documented injuries which appear on his right side.Wilson, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall and 210 pounds, is never asked to explain why he ‘felt like a five-year-old holding on to Hulk Hogan’ during his struggle with Brown, who is Wilson’s height and 290 pounds.”

They could have at least shown Big Mike the same empathy and respect he showed the store owner...oh, wait...
...and could someone explain to me under what circumstance Wilson would have tried to pull a 290 pound guy into the car through the window?

You're suggesting someone snatching a couple a cigarettos off a counter at a convenience store deserves to get blasted, shot dead in cold blood. Nice. You should sign up with the National Guard near you, they'll be needing your ilk on the streets in the near future.
