The evidence shows that the story we've been given by the Police Department does not match up," one of the Myers family's attorneys, Jerryl Christmas, told AP. "There's no evidence that there was a gun battle going on.

I dont recall saying absolutely neither were guilty, I do recall aLWAys questioning anything police EVER say

some here instantly and always defend police, I am not one of them

You see the difference is I know cops lie, all the time...so I never believe them, I need a credible 3rd party to provide evidence

"Shooting at someone else and hitting the police" is as far from bad luck as you can get. cherokeeprogressive Mar 2015 #38

Well if chance favors the prepared mind mythology Mar 2015 #99

Keep telling yourself that. cherokeeprogressive Mar 2015 #100

So the conspiracy theorists can rest now or no?nt LittleBlue Mar 2015 #2

I saw the video of the actual shooting and saw no car in the frame. Also heard the eye witnesses sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #4

What conspiracies, i didn't know there was any? herding cats Mar 2015 #5

There was at least one false flag thread hack89 Mar 2015 #8

It was a good guess. Rex Mar 2015 #19

Yeah - and from an official of a town that has no systemic racism. blm Mar 2015 #24

Aren't "good" guesses required to be accurate pintobean Mar 2015 #31

Apparently speculation of the "could have been" variety now qualifies as a good guess. n/t cherokeeprogressive Mar 2015 #40

Y'know, the whole 'horseshoes and hand granades' thing. kiva Mar 2015 #89

So immediately flapping your arms and announcing who you want the perps to be is a better way to go? Throd Mar 2015 #32

'who you want the perps to be' - I guess do to limited comprehension skills Rex Mar 2015 #82

Yes, I was defending the Klan. It's hard to type wearing my pointy hood with the little eye holes. Throd Mar 2015 #92

Who did that? blm Mar 2015 #104

"It was irresponsible and foolish." Rex Mar 2015 #113

No, it wasn't a good guess. phil89 Mar 2015 #81

It wasn't stated, it was clearly preceded by the words, 'I think' and 'could have been' blm Mar 2015 #94

"It was irresponsible and foolish." Why who got hurt by it? Rex Mar 2015 #112

Apparently it was a "protester." NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #6

Are you a Ferguson Police officer? roody Mar 2015 #14

Nope. NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #18

CNN now…..It wasn't a protestor - he was never at the protests - blm Mar 2015 #15

I'm just going with what I read. NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #20

Wait...you mean you jumped to conclusions like the people you are making fun of!? Rex Mar 2015 #25

I didn't make up a fantasy out of thin air. NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #35

No one was convinced - qualifying terms like "I think" and "could have been" blm Mar 2015 #56

Cool story bro. Did you read any of those comments? NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #60

The overwhelming view on the thread was that it was worth CONSIDERING the blm Mar 2015 #64

Thanks for saying it, I am getting tired of the fake outrage or whatever the crap is Rex Mar 2015 #83

Apparently the overwhelming view was wrong. NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #88

How could it be wrong to say something is POSSIBLE blm Mar 2015 #91

Okay then, I'll go with possible. NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #97

Not 'highly unlikely' to anyone following the reports and articles on the subject. blm Mar 2015 #103

But you were sure ready to shit all over protestors as a whole Scootaloo Mar 2015 #106

Not as a whole, but I have nothing but disdain... NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #111

Yes, as a whole Scootaloo Mar 2015 #115

The new media, can't even get the story straight. Won't be surprised if fox still_one Mar 2015 #21

Is CNN interviewing the guy pintobean Mar 2015 #36

No...a bishop who met with him... blm Mar 2015 #52

We'll see. pintobean Mar 2015 #57

If according to him, he was not shooting at the cops, then what was he "protesting"? GoneFishin Mar 2015 #7

Gee, what a surprise. They catch a guy that fits their profile and call him a protester right off NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #9

Poor choice to trot the DA out for that. ScreamingMeemie Mar 2015 #11

Exactly! After watching the GJ farce, who would believe they Rex Mar 2015 #16

DU will have a field day..just watch--- NOT du, just some on DU NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #17

Oh I know, they will be positively glowing over this. Rex Mar 2015 #22

Perhaps try and dial back the anti-DU angle. blm Mar 2015 #23

Thank you. arcane1 Mar 2015 #26

Ditto. cwydro Mar 2015 #33

Let's see, so far you've been wrong about Antonio Martin, GGJohn Mar 2015 #61

. NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #62

And so far, no audio has been released, even though that Christmas claimed that there was audio. GGJohn Mar 2015 #65

I said I knew absolutely he was innocent of anything? When did I do that? NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #66

And yet, you still can't bring yourself to admit that Martin did indeed GGJohn Mar 2015 #72

I havent even looked at it or thought about it, you are obsessed with proving the cops are NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #74

And you STILL can't admit you were wrong. GGJohn Mar 2015 #76

Wrong about what? Where did I say he did not shoot the cop? Or did I say I wont believe he did NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #78

What you mean is who to believe, the cops or historical reality that they lie all the time NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #70

No, I don't believe everything they say, and I have called them out when they're wrong, GGJohn Mar 2015 #73

Brown? That would shock me, so you agree that Wilson created a situation that was NOt necessary NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #75

Of course that's what happened, Wilson should've been charged with, GGJohn Mar 2015 #79

Well blow me over with a feather... NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #80

Protestors are usually on foot, not in a car. roody Mar 2015 #12

"Black and nearby" doesn't have the same effect. arcane1 Mar 2015 #27

Not sure how he is a protester gwheezie Mar 2015 #28

It is also now being reported he wasn't at the protest by other sources. herding cats Mar 2015 #29

Now saying he had been tracking the guy TO the protests so he blm Mar 2015 #30

The question is, why would the gunman romanic Mar 2015 #77

Criminals are stupid gwheezie Mar 2015 #84

Pretty much the bottom line here - pretty damn stupid. blm Mar 2015 #95

My question also. nt cwydro Mar 2015 #86

Stupidly thinking the crowd was good cover? blm Mar 2015 #105

Too convenient. TexasMommaWithAHat Mar 2015 #119

But an irrelevant 2009 DHS study said that RW extremists are the greatest threat to cops DesMoinesDem Mar 2015 #34

Foxnews thanks you for doing their job here. Rex Mar 2015 #85

No one said that - The words 'I think' +'could have been' do not = 'only logical conclusion' blm Mar 2015 #98

A plea of " it was the wrong one[twice]" won't help the defendant, even if true. Eleanors38 Mar 2015 #37

It might help at sentencing gwheezie Mar 2015 #87

Usually, the motive to kill takes precedent over the intended target... Eleanors38 Mar 2015 #101

In some ways it's even worse XemaSab Mar 2015 #116

If you put it that way gwheezie Mar 2015 #118

The question is, what is really him? Matrosov Mar 2015 #39

Stock up on tinfoil boys, we have a live one! Oklahoma_Liberal Mar 2015 #42

Ireadon yahoo it was a 40mm handgun justalovebug Mar 2015 #41

I strongly doubt it was a 40mm handgun. Oklahoma_Liberal Mar 2015 #43

40 mm is a little extreme GP6971 Mar 2015 #44

No kidding Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Mar 2015 #51

The police said they matched the shell casings to the gun? justalovebug Mar 2015 #45

This article says .40 cal. uppityperson Mar 2015 #46

This is what raises suspicion justalovebug Mar 2015 #48

It's also possible the reporter is correcting an ititially incorrect report. arcane1 Mar 2015 #50

well I seriously doubt it was 40mm as that would be an artillery shell azurnoir Mar 2015 #54

No they're not pintobean Mar 2015 #55

okay I didn't know the difference between the two types justalovebug Mar 2015 #58

Caliber is a decimal of inches - so .38 is 0.38 inches in diameter. NutmegYankee Mar 2015 #59

Welcome to DU gopiscrap Mar 2015 #47

You're welcome gopiscrap Mar 2015 #53

You might want to edit your post to correct the 40mm to 40 cal. GGJohn Mar 2015 #68

A 40mm handgun? GGJohn Mar 2015 #63

I didn't know about guns I just read it in the article justalovebug Mar 2015 #67

No problem, just some good natured ribbing. GGJohn Mar 2015 #69

I don't believe a "protester" was involved - no matter what usatoday says tenderfoot Mar 2015 #114
