This is not how I remember the micheal brown shooting. From wiki [View all] Ohioblue22 Jul 2016 OP

You are correct. mainstreetonce Jul 2016 #1

The Brown shooting isn't a good example of unnecessary police violence... pipoman Jul 2016 #2

I'm saying that wiki is trying to edit history Ohioblue22 Jul 2016 #3

"Wikipedia" didn't write it, users did... JHB Aug 2016 #126

Blasting an unarmed person 12 times seems pretty representative to me of police violence brush Jul 2016 #5

See 9 pipoman Jul 2016 #10

Look up what unarmed means. Also while you're at it look up how the cop in North Charleston also . . brush Jul 2016 #12

When someone charges a cop who is armed pipoman Jul 2016 #13

Then maybe police ought to stop carrying then Ohioblue22 Jul 2016 #17

Or maybe you shouldn't side with people who try to kill cops. pipoman Jul 2016 #25

You believe the cop. I don't. We've all seen videos that have proved many cops lie to cover. . . brush Jul 2016 #61

He didn't seem to have a great track record of quality decision making... TipTok Jul 2016 #62

The same guy who would do this.... pipoman Jul 2016 #63

Wilson knew nothing of the convenience store incident when he killed Brown brush Jul 2016 #66

Obama's Justice Department says otherwise. pipoman Jul 2016 #70

The white guy construction workers said he had his hands up and cop kept shooting brush Jul 2016 #71

"Nobody"...wrong pipoman Jul 2016 #73

Of course you would take the word of the cop. He's the only one who said Brown charged into . . . brush Jul 2016 #95

The autopsy showed that his hands were down Travis_0004 Aug 2016 #127

The autopsy doesn't, and can't possibly show that his hands were down . . . brush Aug 2016 #132

True, it only showed that his hands were down when he was shot. Travis_0004 Aug 2016 #146

Which shots? Uponthegears Aug 2016 #147

Yes, shot while UNAMRED. brush Aug 2016 #149

Felon?....do go on... pkdu Jul 2016 #77

He did charge towards Wilson. Its in the DOJ investigation. n/t Waldorf Jul 2016 #30

And you believe someone charged into 12 live bullets? brush Jul 2016 #67

Oh do go on, is it cause he was one of those hepped up super black men the police fear so much? CBGLuthier Jul 2016 #6

He charged a cop... pipoman Jul 2016 #9

The murderer knew nothing of the robbery at the time of the confrontation Ohioblue22 Jul 2016 #16

No they aren't. So you think a badge = superman? pipoman Jul 2016 #23

Seems rather obvious you don't know what police brutality is. Rex Jul 2016 #24

Tell me after you have copped for 5 minutes. pipoman Jul 2016 #27

Wrong. Rex Jul 2016 #31

Every cop is trained to protect their weapon with deadly force. pipoman Jul 2016 #34

We've seen many examples of white people doing to cops things that would have gotten a black man kil Ohioblue22 Jul 2016 #41

Twice as many whites are shot by police than blacks...fact. pipoman Jul 2016 #48

Um , wouldn't use that "fact" even if the math is correct as there is an inherent problem in it pkdu Jul 2016 #78

It is about the same rate as commission of murder by race... pipoman Jul 2016 #83

You seem to having trouble making a point? or are you just throwing out a list of unrelated data pkdu Jul 2016 #88

I can't help it if you can't understand...it really is simple. pipoman Jul 2016 #91

Dylan Roof was calmly brought into police custody after killing nine people during a prayer service Ohioblue22 Aug 2016 #158

My purpose for posting this was in no way about police Ohioblue22 Jul 2016 #29

This case was the proverbial straw on the issue of unpunished pipoman Jul 2016 #35

The Brown case was not legitimate use of force. brush Jul 2016 #68

This guy would.... pipoman Jul 2016 #69

The guy was unarmed. The cop didn't know about the convenience store incident yet still gunned . . . brush Jul 2016 #72

"Unarmed" no...he was armed with legs and arms and a desire to disarm a cop pipoman Jul 2016 #74

There you go leaving out important details. brush Jul 2016 #94

So you believe his criminal counterpart over Obama's Justice Department....got it pipoman Jul 2016 #97

Let's see, eyewitness vs. Uponthegears Jul 2016 #102

Eyewitness = most unreliable form of evidence pipoman Jul 2016 #107

Okay, so if eyewitnesses are incredible Uponthegears Jul 2016 #108

No, my preference is body cams on every officer.... pipoman Jul 2016 #110

Much like Trayvon was "armed" with the sidewalk Ohioblue22 Aug 2016 #141

Again, false; the dispatcher alerted the "seating in progress", with descriptions, well before (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #56

See post 20 below...the Justice Department disagrees and actually has evidence to the contrary pipoman Jul 2016 #92

I think you meant to post this to someone else, because you're agreeing with me LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #93

..... pipoman Jul 2016 #98

I know exactly how you feel (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #99

Why would anyone charge a cop who has his gun drawn? killbotfactory Jul 2016 #84

Why would anyone bully and terrorize a store owner over a box of blunts? pipoman Jul 2016 #85

because a couple dollars worth of blunts are trivial compared to your life? nt killbotfactory Jul 2016 #86

No...poor judgement...many times....in rapid succession... pipoman Jul 2016 #87

So he was running away, stopped, turned around and charged at a cop with a gun drawn? killbotfactory Jul 2016 #89

Read the Obama DoJ report...it is comprehensive... pipoman Jul 2016 #90

No, I don't think you're wrong, I've read that more than once, too. marble falls Jul 2016 #4

Allow me to propose another scenario Uponthegears Jul 2016 #7

(no one in their right mind is claiming that Wilson knew about the convenience store incident until Ohioblue22 Jul 2016 #14

Just amazing Uponthegears Jul 2016 #18

On the contrary...the JD investigation reported Wilson was aware of the robbery BEFORE he stopped True Earthling Jul 2016 #26

The Justice Department disagrees with you. hack89 Jul 2016 #32

The DOJ is only right when they agree with us ripcord Jul 2016 #37

That's one cute and clever reply Ohioblue22 Jul 2016 #58

The Wiki page references the Justice Department investigation. hack89 Jul 2016 #59

False; the dispatcher alerted the "steaing in progress" at 11:53 am (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #55
