A fly in the ointment?

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
1. Wilson will be cleared. It will be found that Wilson prevented Brown from giving him a return beat-down that could have resulted in the cop's death. Being annually qualified as a shooter for 21 years, I just flat know your shots will go all over the target if you are badly hurt and stressed out.
2. Race hustlers like Al Sharpton will then bellow blather that will throw the protesters into a frenzy. Wilson is supposed to be found guilty in their mind's eye. Just like O.J. Simpson was supposed to be acquitted despite being a double murderer, such nonsense is supposed to somehow make up for all the abuse blacks have endured in the past.
3. Ferguson will be trashed again in reaction. More lives may be lost. Maybe this will end the storm if it does not expand to other cities.
4. Michael Brown the victim photo T-shirts will continue to sell for about a year.
5. Race hustlers will go unpunished for any death or damage their braying has caused. Anyone who attempts to sue someone like Al Sharpton will be branded a racist. They will all be back to hustle the next racially-charged incident.
6. Wilson will have to hide for the rest of his life. Plastic surgery and a name change may be a good idea. Or moving to some place like Australia.

the '08 election of that watch-cha-call-it
in the WH!!!!

will the officer ever live a comfortable life again in ferguson or will he have to relocate like someone in witness protection?
It's not "justice" to lash out and destroy the lives and livelihoods of people who have done nothing to you.
A wait-and-see attitude and a DOJ which weighs all the evidence first is what is needed right now in Ferguson.
Good luck on that.
If this turns out to be true, do you think the looters will now return the merchandise and repair the damage? How about Nixon eating crow?
I don't know how this will pan out, but so many were quick to knee jerk reactions and fanning the flames...

As interesting as this video is, the comments below the video will keep you entertained and amazed for hours.

If with all the information we have to date, accomplice admitting Brown attacked and came back again confronting, and the video with the background sound describing the same scenario by a real witness, then the officer has to be acquitted. If not, if he is found guilty, the black movement to a peaceful future will be set back another 20 years because of a few liars that started the controversy, and the likes of the Al Sharpton's that do not want this to come to a peaceful resolution..
It does seem odd that it has not been picked up by at least some of the MSM. However, if it were so, it is clear that many of the MSM outlets would not wish to contradict the narrative they have fostered.
Time will tell.

Officer Wilson made the stop, just to get Brown to the sidewalk. Brown attacked Wilson then. (I learned how brutally within the last twenty-four hours.) Then Brown walked away. But Officer Wilson would be derelict in his duty if he did not run that guy in for assaulting an officer. So he drew his service weapon--maybe he had to reload it--and said, "Freeze!"
When a police officer tells you to freeze, YOU FREEZE. But Brown did not freeze. He put his hands up, all right, but said, "What, are you going to shoot me?"
Now if he had walked away, that might have drawn a single shot--into the air, for warning.
But Brown didn't walk away. He hunkered down and charged back in.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. What else was Wilson to do?
I'm getting to the point where I may not want to be around black people simply because if they try to hurt me or take something from me --not that they would, of course--the police would not be able to protect me because they would probably get into deep trouble.
And I've never been racist!!
... kind of like he fixed Health Care, the Economy, and our Rights as Citizens. Not to mention closing Gitmo and keeping us out of the Middle East et. al, ad nauseum...
Like the gangsters in the 30's said... Guess the fix is in...
Of course, the police can't protect you in the first place. They only clean up the mess afterwards.

"Seven or eight African American eyewitnesses have provided testimony consistent with Wilson’s account, but none have spoken publicly out of fear for their safety, The Post’s sources said."

Very troubling, Indeed.
Just wondering.
I concur, I am just passing along the reports for vetting. I will reserve judgement and respect the findings of our system. Police are not perfect and we have seen plenty of abuse.

Please note the ? mark in my initial comment and my additional comments. I have drawn no conclusions, only presented alternative reports. I admit that I do not know what happened (I was not there) and refuse to accept what you apparently have until the investigation and jury has made its determination. I suggest that you investigate the other related threads on this site from other contributors related to this matter. There have been multiple reports on other news outlets reporting as many as a dozen other witnesses as well as the video immediately shot at the scene of an eye witness contradicting the narrative you seem so ready to accept. As far as police brutality goes I have been consistent and denounced such actions when they are caught on tape for all to see, or proven by due process and readily admit of their existence. I take each case individually and try to find all evidence (pro and con) and weigh it accordingly.
I am in agreement with you regarding the excessive force with King and Gardner.
It has now been reported by several sources that the officer was beaten in the face and had his orbital eye socket broken, during a struggle for the officer's gun. When the stunned police officer ordered Mr. Brown to stop he is reported to have charged the officer and in the officer's condition with a busted eye socket and a 292# man charging him is it any wonder that many shots were fired? He probably thought he was missing and from the diagram released from the coroner the shots were not well placed. Would you have been happier if only one shot to the heart took the man down? Dead is dead. I have not made these reports up and I do not know of their veracity since I was not there, But, I will not rush to judgement and allow innocence until guilt is proven for both Mr. Brown and Officer Wilson. It may be that the officer was in error. Can you acknowledge the possibility that he may not have been?
The looters that hurt innocent business owners have no excuse. They hurt the cause and create apprehension, bigotry and prejudice that probably colors the perception of law enforcement as well as others.
As far as this report being "the most racist vitriol I have ever seen." Well, that is a subjective matter. Please point out the specific comments in this article that are racist in your mind. I am open minded and trying to understand. It came across my e-mail and I passed it along for vetting. Your input and perspective is appreciated and noted. I weigh all.

You call him a "young man". I call him a thug. Men don't bully shopkeepers while stealing from them. Men don't attack lawmen.
"They are human they get mad and do bad things without thinking."
You're not allowed to "do bad things without thinking" any more than you're allowed to do them with thinking.
The young thug was the aggessor; anyone who attacks a cop is a greater threat to the civilian population. We will never know what property and lives were saved by those six bullets.
My only questions are; did the officer fire more than six times? If so, where'd the other shots go, and does he need more time on the range?
Four in the arm and only two in the head? None center mass? Maybe he *does* need more range time... or maybe he was rattled and disoriented from the beating he had just taken.
Don't tell me I know not of what I speak - for years ago, I *was* one of them. At least I have the honesty to admit it now. And have outgrown the immaturity of such tripe.
Oh yeah... -1.
