Video at crime scene shows fat, overweight Officer Darren Wilson (vs Special Operations Commando)

Shooting an assault suspect is a little over the top.The cop over-reacted, and did not have backup. There is a way to take an unarmed guy down, and this was not it.Further, the details coming out about the cops in Ferguson is telling. They targeted black people all the time, often for fun.But MB was not a choir boy minding his own business. He was a thug, and a known offender. This is not sufficient cause to blow him away, however.In general, policing in the US has come to resemble an occupying army. It is very broken - like many other things in the US.

Unarmed with his arms up and shot at least six times by the heroic officer who, along with the rest of the Ferguson Police dept. and many other American policemen, was trained by the Israeli military. Hard to believe but true!

Trained by Israeli Gestapo pigs who shoot Semitic marathon runners while training in the back only for being Muslims? Now we know Darren Wilson executed Mike Brown!

No the Ferguson cops were NOT trained by those puzzy Russian Jews and German Jews! Who would want a bunch of half-GOOK European Jews around. Those are the same Jew wimps who let Stalin murder 2 million Jews. The same Jew wimps who let Hitler murder 6 millions Jews. The same Jew wimps who let Italy, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Belgium, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Crimea, Serbia, etc. steal their Jewish money, art, and homes in WWII, which they still have today! Yes, and the same Jew wimps who snipe little Palestinians in the back tweet about it.

semi-non sequitur

The first time I fired my rifle in a combat situation -- unloaded the clip. It's the natural reaction.

Have you really shot an army rifle?

All cops are murderers and totally unresponsible.

We don't know that. Witness stories given to the media do not qualify as "evidence".

.....wow....

Well, at least Trayvon has a cellmate now in Heaven's penitentiary.

From the looks of StL & Fergie PD on CNN broadcast just now the Fergie PD & StL PD really effing needs crossfit consultants, Navy SEAL trainers, and Gree Beret Colonels to recertify their police force. They look like crap.

From CNN

"The Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who killed Michael Brown says the teenager rushed at him full speed in the moments before the shooting, according to an account phoned in to a St. Louis radio station and confirmed as accurate by a source with detailed knowledge of the investigation.

According to the account on KTFK, phoned in by a woman who identified herself as "Josie," the altercation began after Officer Darren Wilson rolled down his window to tell Brown and a friend to stop walking in the street.

When Wilson tried to get out of his cruiser, Brown first tried to push the officer back into the car, then punched him in the face and grabbed for his gun before breaking free after the gun went off once, the caller said.

Wilson pursued Brown and his friend, ordering them to freeze, according to the account. When they turned around, Brown began taunting Wilson, saying he would not arrest them, then ran at the officer at full speed, the caller said. Wilson then began shooting. The final shot was to Brown's forehead, and the teenager fell two or three feet in front of Wilson, the caller said. A source with detailed knowledge of the investigation later told CNN the caller's account is "accurate," in that it matches what Wilson has told investigators."

My comments...

Earlier reports note that the officer did have injuries to his face, and was treated at a hospital. In addition, while the officer may not have known Mr. Brown was a suspect in a robbery, Mr. Brown was fully aware of what he had just done. It is not unreasonable to conclude that Mr. Brown thought the officer was there to arrest him for the robbery, and was in no mood to go to jail. And while we all now that Mr. Brown was unarmed, the officer did not know that at the time of the shooting. There is no eyewitness testimony that the officer frisked or otherwise searched Mr. Brown. Should an officer be expected to treat an individual who is physically assaulting him/her as unarmed unless he/she is able to ascertain otherwise, especially if the subject has already reached for the officer's gun once?

He did more than assault the cop. The gun was fired inside the car over the struggle for the weapon. Who fired it? Who knows, but you can't trust the eye witnesses because they are contradicting, and people, yes, including the cops, have a motive to lie. The cop was on the force for 6 years without an issue, and then people think what??? That out of the blue he just decides to pick on some random black guy walking in the road and it escalates to this? How many times do you think this cop had arrested a black person without altercation? but, on this one occasion, he lost his mind?

That was all from the Cop. Why are you trusting his word as the gospel?? We don't know what happened.

And I like the part where Brown was shot, or shot at, and *AFTER* that, "turned around and taunted the officer" ??

yes, sounds very likely.

You have no credibility. Saying all cops are murders is the same as saying all blacks are murders. It makes no sense. You have no intelligence. None.

Amer Hist says retaliation won't be kind for this sort of injustice to Mikey Brown. It'll be tit-for-tat. My Grandpa grew up in New Hampshire. He said when he was stationed at Camp Lejeune in the 1960s, a black was hung by the KKK out in town, then a redneck was found on the backroads with his throat slit, then a black Marine run over by a truck on base, a white stabbed and left behind target range on base, ... Dozens of whites and blacks were killed back and forth in a tit-for-tat endless hate cycle. Same for that ex-Navy SEAL LAPD Cop who killed two cops since he was fired for incompetence. Also the 4 Tacoma cops executed as payback for the black kid the SF BART cop murdered while tied up and face down. The violence to come as a result of Officer Darren Wilson is not good for America but it's coming and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.

gets more interesting by the minute...

Ever deal much with violent people who are high? Did you not see the video of the robbery in the convenience store?

Same exact source as the other poster.

ALL FROM THE COP's MOUTH.

It could be true, it could be completely untrue, we don't know. People DO lie when their lives/livelihoods are on the line. Really, I swear they do.

If one was charging, how close would a 6'4 290# man have to get before you would authorize a cop to fire? (if this is what happened, I wasn't there).

It was likely between 10 and 40 feet in this case no matter what happened. Its not as if he was shot from across town.

I once had some white dead heads (literally coming from a Grateful Dead concert) harass me and one of them punch me in the head on a train because I refused to give him drugs or $ (neither of which I had on me). Does that count?( OTOH, I've ridden public transport with 99% black riders for several years in the south and never had a single problem, or even someone look at me funny, for what is worth)

I saw it. He seemed like a a-hole who was trying to act tough in front of his friend. Doesn't mean he was on serious drugs. I've seen way worse.

Let's flip it around: ever see a video or read of a cop abusing his power and assaulting someone or even shooting someone for absolutely no good reason?? Of course, it's happened a lot.

Either way, we still don't know what happened as the incident began.
