Horseshit. Couching your apology for Wilson in rhetorical concessions GoneFishin Nov 2014 #36

Evidence doesn't seem to support that he was shot in the back phil89 Nov 2014 #56

The shots to the arm indicate he either was shot from behind with his arms down GoneFishin Nov 2014 #66

Your claims are not supported by the official autopsy of Michael Brown. branford Nov 2014 #68

Your claims are not supported by the pathologist who was misquoted in your link. GoneFishin Nov 2014 #89

Read the actual report linked in the article. branford Nov 2014 #95

Why would it defy the DoJ? GGJohn Nov 2014 #4

true. i doubt the doj included such a request in their talks hopemountain Nov 2014 #6

I can see the DoJ making that request, GGJohn Nov 2014 #7

Jackson might not have much say in it though. If the officer isnt indicted cstanleytech Nov 2014 #15

You are, of course, correct. GGJohn Nov 2014 #16

I won't advocate that people there take up armed struggle, since I can't be there KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #10

There are rules that have to be followed to fire people in police departments. Calista241 Nov 2014 #9

^^^This^^^ GGJohn Nov 2014 #12

Your 'rules' will mean very, very little if this Grand Jury fails to indict. - nt KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #13

There is plenty of evidence to indict Ash_F Nov 2014 #74

IYO, there is plenty of evidence, GGJohn Nov 2014 #75

Whites make up 29% of the population there, but get 75% of the grand jury. Ash_F Nov 2014 #76

Or there's just not the evidence that you proclaim there to be. GGJohn Nov 2014 #78

If the county government was not worried, they would seat a proper jury. /nt Ash_F Nov 2014 #84

Who says they haven't? GGJohn Nov 2014 #93

The courts are a county government function. Calista241 Nov 2014 #86

Still an unrepresentative jury. /nt Ash_F Nov 2014 #90

Saint Louis County, where Ferguson is Calista241 Nov 2014 #94

I know. Is that supposed to make it a representative jury? /nt Ash_F Nov 2014 #125

He's probably already got his resume in, looks like a perfect fit for him. n/t RKP5637 Nov 2014 #79

Absolutely not true. Feral Child Nov 2014 #81

Like noticing an officer is not writing enough tickets to the poor Black community? Ash_F Nov 2014 #85

Think he will be wearing a bullet proof vest a lot? L0oniX Nov 2014 #47

I sure wouldn't want to be his partner. - nt KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #55

Well, if he's not proven guilty of misconduct, that's his right. NaturalHigh Nov 2014 #57

and he also has a license to kill noiretextatique Nov 2014 #59

He'd be walking around with a bullseye on his back. Comrade Grumpy Nov 2014 #65

Right. If he does return to active duty, he'd better wear bullet-proof clothing. n/t RebelOne Nov 2014 #67

Are the people of Ferguson a violent group? Nt hack89 Nov 2014 #69

Probably not any more than anywhere else in America. n/t Comrade Grumpy Nov 2014 #70
