Think again: Brown, Wilson, and Ferguson.

Too many people are jumping to one side of this issue before the facts are in, and I suspect most of you are going to end up on the wrong side.

Namely, what are you going to do if the evidence shows that MB assaulted the cop first? Prints in the car? Pictures of serious facial injuries? Voice/video recordings?

If the pictures and prints support DW's story that Mike Brown assaulted the him while he was still in the car (presumably on the presumption that the convenience store clerk incident had just caught up with him) he cannot and should not be indicted. He would be correct under those circumstances to assume that whatever MB did after that, he constituted a serious threat, justifying deadly force.

It doesn't matter if he was shot in the back (as some "eyewitnesses" have incorrectly alleged), front, or side. Once someone has attempted to kill a peace officer, all bets are off.

Ahoy thar!

Hello everyone,

I'm a Brit who lived in the US on and off for 20 years and have had an active interest in politics since my teens. I've been lurking this place for nearly 6 years and thought it was time to sign up and contribute to the forum.

Cheers,
PG
