this might have been asked before but

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.

1. If I'm not mistaken - pot.

2. Yes, pot was in his system.

Brown was NOT running toward Wilson, like the black witnesses said but they were not believed.

3. I don't know of a drug screen, although I'm sure one was done.

There were 12 shots. I am at a loss for words tonight. A land of laws and no justice in sight.

4. seems things are getting worse instead of better.

some people are rioting. i wish they wouldn't do that. it makes it look bad for them.

michael's parents asked for peaceful demonstrations.

5. Where was you when the Simi Valley jury...

... 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.

8. i remember it.

6. We'd have to know how bad things actually were in the past to know that

I think the advent of cell phones with cameras has shone a light on what used to be just always swept under the rug.

7. so true.
