Nov 2014

The reality of crime and punishment, and law and order are so necessarily divergent from your view of it, it is almost unbelievable.

Anyone who could deny the reality of the state of mind of someone who committed strong arm robbery (by definition in my state and I suspect it is in MO too) 5 minutes prior to a confrontation with uniformed police is out of touch with reality. The reality is desperate people do desperate and dangerous shit.

Pretending my lying eyes (and virtually any other objective persons), are lying and Mr. Brown was just clownin' around with his buddy at the cstore don't help your case. Pretending Mr. Brown wasn't responsible for his actions is demeaning to anyone who doesn't rob stores and resist arrest.

No, the law doesn't work that way. If person 'a' drives the car for robber 'a' and robber 'a' is shot and killed outside the bank fleeing a robbery by a private individual, person 'a' can be charged in robber 'a's death.

"Injuries"? Not even worth a squeeze of Windex. marble falls Nov 2014 #15

Should wilson have waited until the injuries were life threatning? Travis_0004 Nov 2014 #16

He didn't have to kill. He could have shot his foot, made Michael fall and then handcuffed him. jillan Nov 2014 #18
