In reply to the discussion: At the risk of annoying many DUers I have to say [View all]steelsmith
(59 posts)222. I totaly agree
I simply cannot understand why people are so convinced of the officers guilt in this matter, nor the smear job of the officials in Ferguson, who appear to be trying to do their job in a difficult situation. It seems to me that there will be plenty of opportunity for one side or the other to be upset after the investigation and possible trial. It would make sense to wait till then instead of resorting to violence before the facts are known.
This is a tragedy, but until we know what happened all this violence just hurts those of us who are saddened by Michael Brown's death.
