did the autopsy show that michael brown had drugs in his system? i can't imagine an unarmed man running toward an armed police car unless he was on drugs.
still there was no reason to kill him. 10 shots. WTF? one shot in the leg or arm could have stopped him.

(10,690 posts)... acquitted the cops who almost beat Rodney King to death ON CAMERA? When there is no justice in a society, there is a danger that something like this will occur. I hoped that it wouldn't turn out like this, but there it is on our TVs: Ferguson is burning to the ground.
No telling how long this will go on.
