The Michael Brown Shooting Official Thread

[lostinblue 1,989]

Why is Eric Holder authorizing a third autopsy??? Eric didn't give a sh*t about aaron swartz who was driven to kill himself.

Holder absolutely DISGUSTS me. He should be in prison not the head of the Justice Dept.

It goes back to the zimmerman trial... The autopsy when presented to the jury was a complete disaster for crump and team.

After reading some of the latest info I do not believe the officer will go to prison. Browns friend is and was lying about what happened.

Now this case looks like Brown just decided to commit suicide.

(if the latest info is accurate)

He almost overpowered him once.... enough to have his hands on the officers gun....Turned around and tried to finish it again. After seeing what he did to the clerk while robbing the store the only conclusion is that he was a bully all his life using his size to terrorize his prey. ... Tried to use the same terror tactics on a man with a gun .... total fail...... A firearm is a force equalizer...

jesus. now he's 'been a bully all his life using size to terrorize his prey'

If you feel bad go back and read last weeks media reports when he was the "Gentle Giant" and the "Angel of Ferguson"

Guess all 6 shots to the front negates the one story I heard that Brown was shot while running away.

To also supports the witness statements that said he was facing the cop in surrender.

Where's the scientific proof that Brown's hand came in contact with the officer's gun? And where's your source that shows he's been a bully for years?

i didn't read anything about 'gentle giant' or 'angel of ferguson'

I think it was analogy. They did paint him as a good kid, good student, never caused trouble etc etc. Minding his own business, shot for walking down the street, just because he was black.

Hardly he truth

Like when we call TM Saint Skittles, because he was portrayed as this cute little 14 year old, who just went to the store to get some candy.

i think you're wrong.

i didn't read anything about his character. i did read he was shot while crossing the street and also that he was shot from a distance (and surrendering when he was shot) and also that the cop didn't know anything about him being a robbery suspect. the autopsy is enough to charge the cop.

and you call tm saint skittles, i would never..just reading that makes me want to puke.

When this first happened, the media was calling him a sweet kid who just graduated high school, and the impression given was that the cop was a rogue who just murdered an innocent kid. Depending on when you started reading about it, what you saw may have been different.

Eye witness said different ,,,,,He and the officer have the same story Your gentle giant was trying to take out a cop. watch and learn something

no. i saw articles with those sort of headlines but didn't read them because his character's media portrayal is of little consequence to my opinion.

i like how 'the media' was painting him as an angel when i saw 'the media' cover both angles. did it ever occur to you that at the very beginning the only people speaking of michael brown were his family and friends and the eye witnesses on the street? i'm sure to his family and friends the loss of his life was very heartbreaking and unnecessary. what else would you have them say but what they knew of him?

Quite true. As time goes on, more information becomes available and the picture becomes more detailed. The initial reports are frequently devoid of accurate information.

i already read an article about the twitter user who live tweeted, and this is a very different slant than the version i saw the other day. i'll try to find the article.
