Wow, just wow. I don't have a problem with people debating the situation, but the person in the picture is not even Officer Wilson. Don't use misleading pictures to try and justify your position. That is just ignorant. For those of you wondering, here are the UNDOCTORED pictures of Officer Wilson after the attacks. Released by the St. Louis County Officials. http://www.vox.com/xpress/2014/11/24/72 ... n-injuries
Do you know the number of blacks with an uneducated decision that voted for him because he was black? LOL. It always goes both ways. Always
It might be if that was Wilson. It's not. That guy is Jim McNeil. He's a deceased motocross rider. http://www.snopes.com/info/news/wilson.asp This is Wilson in the ER getting his injuries documented. I'm not seeing much indication he was "beat up"
Seeing as how Brown is dead, I'd say his life was ruined more than Wilson's. It's not about whether Wilson was a hero and Brown was a thug. It's about law enforcement officers using deadly force on unarmed citizens. The "He had it coming" defense is not a legal justification to use deadly force. A badge is not a license to kill. The real irony here is just how supportive many of you would be if Wilson had been an BLM agent who had shot and killed a militia member at the Bundy ranch. You remember them? They're the thugs who aimed sniper rifles and other weapons at law enforcement officials as they attempted to carry out their duty and apprehend a racist criminal rancher. Somehow I don't think many of you would be as supportive had Wilson killed one of them. The problem is, the same legalities that protect Wilson in Ferguson would protect him at the Bundy ranch or anywhere else. And that's the point. Law enforcement officers can kill American citizens whether they're armed or not and will rarely be prosecuted for it. Not just ones you feel deserved it. Anyone they feel is threatening them. Remember that in case you ever have to stand up for your rights.
I hate to tell you this but it usually goes one way. Blacks tend to say things like calling family members the (n word) and think it's not racist because they are black.
You are pretty diluted if you think police can just shoot citizens. There are a specific set of rules they need to follow.. But then again let's just look at it this way.. Don't attack a police officer like Brown did and you won't get shot. Suppose Browm did take Wilson's gun, then what? Wilson would be dead.. The grand jury thought Wilson's life was in danger and acted properly.. Why don't you see his life being in danger?
If you attack someone who has a gun then chances are you will die.. I'm not sure why this is so difficult to understand? You can't blame the schools because they shouldn't have to teach you something like that in school
I really wish you would change the title. He wasn't on trial, and it was about him being guilty or innocent. It was an indictment.
Think so? They shot and killed an unarmed black man standing in Wal-Mart holding a BB gun and talking on the phone. Hell, in September they shot and killed an unarmed 68 year old grandfather parked in his own driveway in South Carolina. Specific set of rules they need to follow? Neither one of them were attacking anybody or presented a danger to anyone. Apparently those rules are pretty lenient because they shoot unarmed people that aren't a threat all the time. As for Wilson's life being in danger, maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. He claims his life was in danger. He certainly doesn't appear to have suffered any injuries except for a small bruise. What I do know is there won't be an open trial to determine if it was or wasn't. And no, the Grand Jury wasn't a trial. That was a closed proceeding controlled entirely by the DA's office who frankly seemed to represent Wilson instead of Brown, like they were supposed to.
The news media does it to get ratings and views. They thrive off of tragedies and race involved incidents.
