    Are you trying to be an a**. The grand jury did not press charges. If what you said happened they would be going to trial. Just how stupid are you?

    This cop was only being investigated and reviewed by the Grand Jury because he is white. So who really is the only one with grounds for a civil case ??

    even if he did not, he was shot, he was at a distance where the cop could of waited to react, see what was going to happen, told him to get on the ground, ect.... shooting a shot and bleeding unarmed person should not be the first resort at a distance like that, the officer panicked, simple as that...... makes it a legal kill, but a wrongful one as well, the family very well might win a civil suit

    The evidence doesn't support that conclusion. In fact just the opposite.

    You don't employ either when lethal force is required.

    The autopsy has shown he did not have his hands up when shot and you still insist there is evidence to the contrary? How ridiculous that some still cling to the lies about this case. You should be ashamed.

    Have you ever heard of not attacking a cop? Anyone dumb enough to do so deserves to get shot.

    No he wasn't "surrendering".

    Prove it? The autopsy proves it

    The witnesses who claimed that have been discredited. Again, the physical evidence shows otherwise.

    Why do you continue with the lies?

    There is no evidence that he was surrendering.

    There is none. ZERO. Zip. Squat. Zilch.

    The evidence and the eyewitnesses say Michael Brown was charging the cop when he got shot.

    He got shot through the top of the head, so he had to have his head down.

    That's what the evidence says.

    Now, where are you coming up with all these fantasies and impossibilities?

    Excellent, well said.

    Yes indeed, the dichotomy is all too real (for everyone but the progressive liberals, it seems).

    You can't have hundreds of hoodlums robbing and torching, and claim that's being done in the name of "social justice".

    The conflict in those two concepts is painfully obvious. You can't rob someone and claim that's being done in the name of justice, all that says is you've become a robber, you've become the very monster you claim you're trying to fight.

    Black America gained nothing with this Ferguson business. Except perhaps some additional resentment that didn't exist before.

    Liberals are not interested in the truth or facts. Only the narrative that supports their ideology matters that is why they continue to repeat it. They must defend brown people at all costs. Truth be damned.

    ALL the eyewitnesses?

    that's simply not true.

    and there is NO physical evidence that he was charging the cop.

    You are misrepresenting the evidence. The fact is, eyewitness accounts varied significantly and quite a few witnesses stated that he had his hands up or was running away when the officer opened fire.

    A shot in the top of his head could also mean he was falling forward or bent over after the first few shots.

    What does the physical evidence say then? Does it not provide evidence Mr. Brown had his hand in the police cruiser trying to take a police officer's firearm? Does the physical evidence show Mr. Brown had his hands behind his head or his hands in the air in surrender mode? You seem to know whay pysical evidence doesn't exist, tell us what does. Thanks.

    what happened in the car is irrelevent so whether or not Brown was charging the cop after turning around.

    Not the credible evidence. Physical evidence backs up Officer Wilson's account. Hence the grand jury's decision.

    It is relevant . Brown committed a crime when he went inside the car.

    We'll agree to disagree on relevancy regarding what happened in the car, I believe the physical evidence concerning what happened in the car shows Mr. Brown the aggressor to that point is that not correct? I'm just asking, you seem to be aware of what the physical evidence is in this case.

    totally irrelevent to whether or nor he was charging the cop or simply surrendering, whe he got a bullet to the head.

    but i don't expect you to understand that or acknowledge that, as your mind was made up the second you found out Brown was a black man and Wilson was a white cop.
