Nov 2014

On top of people not reading the testimonies, but having a ton of shit to say about the incident. How many "White people didn't riot when OJ was acquitted" and "Unarmed white man shot and killed by police, no riots or looting" bs pictures do I have to endure? I cannot believe how many people in this day and age continue to deny the systematic oppression of an entire race of people. It makes my heart and my head hurt.

Something else is wrong Kalidurga Nov 2014 #1

Great graphic. It shows the distance was 152 feet, not 24 feet like the MSM keeps reporting. SunSeeker Nov 2014 #8

He was pursuing Brown on foot at that point Kalidurga Nov 2014 #10

Pretty good theory. JDPriestly Nov 2014 #49

First thing I thought when I heard what DW had done. Odd thoughts usually are near reality. Dont call me Shirley Nov 2014 #50
