Ferguson, MO

[musclemom]

so what's your take on this.

MM is just fucked.

I don't really care,

facts are facts however

2 shots to the head.

I don't give a damn what color the involved parties were, seriously. I'm looking at it purely from a logical perspective. I'm sick to shit of race always coming into play. It's unfortunate that all parties involved weren't the same color.

However, if you'll just think for a minute, assuming you were going to shoot a person who has their arms raised and is not moving, and your intention is to kill or seriously wound your victim, and you're within 100 feet of them, and trained to shoot a weapon, then you aren't going to place three shots in the arm, one in the shoulder, then nail the individual in the eye and top of their head.

All the bullet wounds are entry, there are no exit wounds. All the shots hit the front of his body.

Take a look at the autopsy sketch:

If Brown was surrendering and the cop wanted to unload on him, why shoot down his arm, to his shoulder then hit him in the eye? Why not hit the torso, an easier target? If the man had his arms raised why didn't they drop after the first shot? Why didn't he move his other arm to protect himself?

If he had been stopped or kneeling at the time of the eye shot, wouldn't the force of the eye shot have thrown his body backwards so the top of the head shot wouldn't be able to occur unless the cop was standing over the man.

If that cop could hit him in the eye he surely could have hit him in the heart as well. I think he shot him on the right side to stop him, Brown kept moving towards him, he killed him.

The uncle is saying a gunshot occurred when Brown and the officer were actually physically in contact, we already know that didn't happen since there are no powder burns or stippling.

And BTW, even if this is a racially motivated murder, how does that justify "protests" that take the form of looting and burning? One bad cop means it's open season for mobs to assault other cops and trash local businesses?

Is there no way the cop shot him because he thought he could get away with it? Do you think it's normal that he didn't check his pulse or anything?

No, I actually don't, for a couple of reasons:
1. A shooting ALWAYS means an investigation and shooting someone who hasn't shot at you first ALWAYS looks very, very, very bad.

2. Why risk flushing your career and possibly freedom to murder someone you don't even know?

3. If the cop was just out to be a murdering racist then why didn't he kill anyone else who was watching, like the friend who was walking with Brown at the time the police told them to get out of the street to begin with?

The incident makes no sense the way the witnesses are describing it, a young man and his friend are walking down the street, the cops tell them to get out of the street and onto the sidewalk. Instead of saying "Sorry, Officer" and complying, Brown decides to tell the cop his destination and that he's only going to be in the street for a few more minutes ... REALLY?

Who tells a cop they'll only be a few more minutes doing what they've been told by an officer of the law to stop doing? A cop says get out of the street, you say yes sir, sorry about that and MOVE YOUR ASS.

They didn't run out and get him. The Gov. put the MO State Patrol in charge after the white chief of police was fucking everything up and using the swat team on the protestors, and the Captain just so happens to be black.



Fuck off you stupid faggot follow the story and speak eloquently or sit down and shut up.

What difference does it make that he stole some cigars?

A TON of teenagers steal those cigars. I'm willing to be that either one of your teenage kids or one of your daughter's teenage boyfriends will do the exact same thing. Oh, and they will also walk down the middle of the street like they own the world. Because they are teenagers. They thumb their nose at authority and think they're invincible.

It's not robbery either. It's like petty theft.

I cannot put myself into the shoes of the cop because I can barely manage a gun. The only person I can empathize with is the kid. Or possibly his mom. I believe what they say about their experience as African Americans and not being treated the same by the police as white people. Almost all of them say they have this experience. Why don't we want to believe them?
