In reply to the discussion: Strong Evidence That Brown Was Executed [View all]indivisibleman
(482 posts)but this is not what happened. He has the advantage of being a cop and a jury will give some latitude for this but they still will hear solid and convincing evidence that is contradictory to what we expect will be his version. There is also a remote chance that he will fall on his sword out of conscience. I know this is of a very low probability but he killed a man for no reason and this is something he has to live with forever regardless of what the jury decides.
As far as riots happening with him getting off I am not so sure of this. Were there any riots after the Zimmerman acquittal? I don't remember hearing of any. Trayvon was executed in much the same way Michael was. Why didn't people riot after that trial? I sure wouldn't blame them.
There needs to be a movement to change the culture of terrorism in our police force, the militarization of our police force needs to end and blacks need better representation in their local governments.
