5. One man is not worth an entire community.
He needs to be convicted for the sake of Ferguson.
Yes, folks. It's a lynch mob.

10. How many blacks were lynched for that idea? No. A fair and as impartial as possible result needs to be come to. Just like any other case. If the mob doesn't like that, too bad.
Nothing on the DUmp in the last few days has been Fair and Impartial. Now that one of you goons has said it out loud the rest of you can pretend to be horrified.

11. Actually, the video doesn't claim Brown rushed Wilson. He said Brown doubled back, which only means he turned around and was making his way back to the officer. Why are people assuming 'doubled back' means he ran towards Wilson?
It all depends on what the meaning of the word is is...

23. "If Brown did rush Officer Wilson" So you give a term of respect to the murdering cop, but offer up no respect for Mr. Brown. Nice.
Really nice.
The shit they get pissy with.

24. Don't they ever teach martial arts techniques to cops? I'm at least 370 pounds (I know, I gotta lose some of this...), so if I charge someone, that could be a problem, but certain martial arts like jiu-jitsu and aikido can turn my bulk into an Achilles' heel, throwing me off-balance and landing me flat on my face so that handcuffs can be snapped around my wrists. No need for a gun, and probably no need for a taser or a billy club, either.
Of course, this is always done on the TV movies. Life isn't like that.

41. would you charge someone who was pointing a gun at you. Who just shot you from a safe distance? No. The idea is ludicrous.

52. my thoughts exactly
My opinion only , he stopped because he had been hit in the arm, only because Wilson's aim was bad, he tried to kill him on the first shot. I use to work with my local PD. Their motto was if you take the gun out and shoot, its to kill, the training officer said always watch the hands, they determine what you do. Browns hands were empty, even MY local screw ups wouldn't have killed him.
That he would stop running, turn and charge like a mad bull is lunacy. He didn't want to get shot any more.
The top of the head shot was like a double tap, the first head shot was causing him to go forward, the second finished him.
****ing geniuses.

42. Strange...I've seen drunk white kids get pushy with cops (especially in a bar district around closing time) and miraculously not one of them to my knowledge ended up dead...
You haven't looked for it have you. It would never make national news.
