The Michael Brown Shooting Official Thread

[Teddy B 17,252]

That has to be one of the most idiotic statements you have ever made here.

At least he's consistent.

Take a look at the pictures. No crowd.

Edit: I saw the crowd after about close to an hour after he was shot. The ambulance should have gotten to the body before then.

It's not about the ambulance getting to the body, it;s about processing the crime scene Your stuck on something that is very normal. You make it sound like they built a fire and poped a few PBR's. Jesus you are grasping at absurdities now.

So how do you process a crime scene ?

Cuomo wondered if the police should have handle things better, like leaving Michael Brown’s body on the street for an extended period of time.

Knowles said that he wished the city could have handled things differently, but it was required to do certain things because of the investigation.

“If we hadn’t called St. Louis County police in from the start to do the investigation, which we did, we would have been criticized for covering up,” the mayor insisted. “We had to leave the crime scene — you know, for lack of a better term — intact.”

“The body was covered for a while, and so it wasn’t covered — it was uncovered for a while, and there was a lot of picture of that,” he continued. “But as soon as they got an ambulance there, they did cover it for a while. And then they put up the screens.”

“It was left out there for a while.”

“And when you say it, you mean he,” Cuomo interrupted.

“Yeah,” Knowles replied, seemingly reluctant to say Brown’s name. “I’m sorry. You’re right. The body. The gentleman.”

Big difference between a bruised face and having a broken eye socket. If you're telling the truth, why would you be afraid? If he was in fear for his life and Michael was beating him to almost to the point of unconsciousness, then it might be why he shot him as many times as he did. But, if this was a simple altercation that resulted in his death, then it should be treated as something else.

Those are the facts.

What did Don King do? And who did P Diddy kill? I know he shot those guns(Shyne did the time for him) but do you really want to compare injustices?

So if he attacked the cop and went after his gun, and only caused a black eye and some swelling, it's all good.

However if he fractured his eye socket, it somehow changes what happened ???

No, just pointing out that LIB's article wasn't correct. The crowd didn't even show up until about 2 hours afterwards. They should have covered the body instead of standing around while folks took pictures.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

the report regarding the eye socket injury are bs. you can only trace the information back to the gateway pundit who says they got their info from "two local St. Louis sources" that's it.

if you go to gateway pundit right now the first story is an expose on rap lyrics michael brown wrote.

it's ####### but you've got folks repeating it over and over again so, it might as well all be true.

The police chief said from day one the officer was treated and there was proof of an injury as does the brown family lawyer. No one is denying there is proof the officer was injured in a struggle.

As long as we establish brown attacked him, what difference does it make if he cracked an eye socket or just bruised his face, with a punch

What if he didn't hit him in the eye? What if it was just a struggle? There's not one picture or video that shows he was hurt. Even GZ had blood on him. For someone who was fighting and worried he might get his gun, where's the evidence?

to you it doesn't. to me it does. you and i have a different opinion of 'necessary force'.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Post the time when they covered the body.

How in the hades would I have access to that . You said they never covered his body. they clearly did , and as you can tell by the fact there were not many investigators around it was fairly early on.

This is an absurd straw you are grasping at

because this started out as a high profile shooting? or another day on the job. you're getting a little a head of yourself mr. middle of the road.

Police have procedures. Leaving a body at a crime scene for an extended period of time is not out of the norm at all.

In my opinion Marvin, if Brown went after Wilson's gun, then Wilson has a legitimate reason to fear for his life, injuries are secondary.

you said this was the norm for high profile shootings. i stated that this didn't start out high profile.

i think most of this issue is stemming from 'police procedure' in need of change. for example the kid who easily pulled off his suicide with the help of those two st. louis cops.

In the several mass shootings we've had in the last year, can you remember anyone being left out so folks could take pictures of the body?

If they are lying/exaggerating about his injuries, what else are they covering up? I agree if he went for his gun, but at this point, I'm not so sure.

We're not sure about a lot at this point, which is why I've refrained from passing any judgement.

anytime a cop uses deadly force, you know it's going to be put under a microscope, so yes it did start out as high profile

who is they. The police did not say his orbit was busted, that was the media.

not 'the media', but gateway pundit. and then 'the media' repeated over and over.
