They're senselessly violent and impossible to control when their temper is up, you know.

He then ran off. He MAY have turned around because he was in shock from the shooting. He was most certainly scared. Maybe he was listening to the commands from the officer to stop.

I doudt it was just brown going up to wilson and punching him for no reason.

We will never know what happened around police car.But,i don't accept anything from fergusion PD and piece of shit McCullouch.

I saw all this coming.And it makes me sick.

McCullouch put Brown on trial.

This was public execution.

We are all to believe that black men and teens are prone to random violence and possess super human powers when overcome by these violent urges

At least that is what we are asked to believe ... and believing this will prove the innocence of the Darren Wilson's of this world. I am beyond sickened and disgusted ... of course Michael Brown did not charge at an armed cop (on a police force known for its racism).

Anonymous, released photos of them in uniform next to photos of them at Klan rally.
I'm so sickened. I knew it was coming but maybe deep down I was still hoping for a tiny shred of justice in this world.

I "knew" that Wilson would not be indicted by the grand jury .... but I hoped beyond hope

I feel sickened and disgusted and outraged, yet defeated

People do that to cops sometimes. I haven't heard any mention that Michael Brown was suicidal.
