50. That's the way it should be, of course.

As for me, I want to wait until I hear the police officer's side before I form an opinion. That doesn't mean that I'm okay with what happened in Ferguson. But because I've stated that (i.e., that I want to hear the full and complete story), which to me is the very ideal of what being a Democrat and what Democracy is, has been unpopular.

I've not made up my mind yet. Darren Wilson may have murdered Michael Brown. Darren Wilson may not have murdered Michael Brown. No one knows for sure because what we're seeing on television is not a trial and not necessarily all factual.

I thought this forum was for discussion of all points of view and I've been quite surprised at the demonizing of anyone who dares disagree with the majority here. But oh, well. I'm going to continue to believe as I do. If that's unpopular, then so be it.

I've actually been asked if I was happy that Michael Brown was dead. Uh, no, I'm not. I'm sad when anyone is killed. But I feel a certain sadness for Officer Wilson's family, too, because they've been dragged into this through no fault of their own. I wouldn't think, normally on DU, that would be an issue.
