The Charles Barkley Rant on Ferguson Grand Jury Decision That You Won’t Believe You’re Just Now Hearing

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Do you have proof that he is a dirty cop?

he shot an unarmed person. pretty dirty if you ask me

Wrong again. The main witness is the police officer. He had a gun and a badge and was entrusted to enforce the law, which he did faithfully. You choose to disregard the findings of the Grand Jury and replace it with the fantasy that white cops are murdering unarmed black men for no reason whatsoever.

How is that working out for the U.S. so far? Not well. What's why we have people who have to investigate the cops. Pretty sad. They are called Internal Affairs.

This is way too easy but I sense we are reaching the point of diminishing returns.

More triple "D". Deflect, Denigrate, and Deny. Here's the deal:

The Grand Jury found no probable cause to find officer Wilson wrongfully shot Michael Brown.

In America, that means case closed. In a deluded mind, it means continue to embrace a lie until it becomes true.

It's possible.

I was trying to be optimistic

I think if a cop tells you not to walk in the middle of the street when there is a sidewalk available, that is a reasonable request. I think you should comply with the request. If a cop tells you to freeze and put your hands up, it would probably be in your best interests to do so. Grabbing a cop, reaching in through the window of his cruiser, blocking the door, etc is asking for trouble. Stealing by intimidation is also something that should be avoided, no weapon is necessary, it is still a crime. People make poor decisions and unfortunately at times the consequences are tragic. And it doesn't matter what race you belong to, being diffficult for the sake of being difficult isn't always a good idea.

It is. But if said cop said get the f*** out of the street, you might have some apprehension to deal with. There's no reason for anyone to use profanity towards another person, especially when you're a LEO and that person at the time is simply walking in the street. A simple use the sidewalk would have sufficed.

I ask this with all due respect. Where is it noted that the officer said that, in those words?

If that's what the cop said, there was no need to use that language, but that doesn't change the fact that the person should have complied with the request. Challenging it and getting in the cops face was foolish. I've had cops be gruff to me too in my younger days- a group of young people hanging around before a concert started. Boston cops were much hasrsher for the most parts than the cops out in suburbia. We did what they told us. Nobody said, now ask me nicely and I'll do what you say.

Nobody should be shot for not walking on the sidewalk, but obviously there was some agression against the cop in this case. Dumb move.

It's cool. This was first reported when the story broke.

Dorian Johnson: Brown stole the Cigarillos from the Ferguson Market and then the two of them were walking toward their apartments as Wilson passed. Wilson told them to "Get the on the sidewalk."

I don't agree with getting mouthy with cops at all. Just pointing out that telling someone to get on the sidewalk as a cop should have been just that. There's no need to use that type of language. And as a grown man, if you use that tone with me, I don't care who you are, I'll ask what your problem is.
