    Yes, but the very instant that the Dem Party primaries declare a winner -- and the DNC has already decided that it will be Elizabeth Warren -- then the victorious nominee will perform a fake and hard turn Rightward toward the far distant center in order to lie about being a centrist in politics and ideology . . . and ALL the leftist sheeple will once again BELIEVE whatever the candidate and the DNC and their party loyalist Mainstream Media TELL them to believe. It's . . . like . . . magic.

    So what you are claiming is that all people who gave a conflicting account recanted?

    If there were any evidence that Wilson murdered Brown, they would've prosecuted. Look at who was investigating, consider the tension.

    Politopinion is being disingenuous.

    A lack of evidence doesn't prove innocence. Courts won't prosecute on the mere existence of evidence. They will only prosecute if the evidence if enough to make a strong case.

    Politifact as a factchecker can only state the court's decision not whether that decision was morally right or absolutely whether murder happened.

    I claiming what the DA and grand jury found, the stories changed from the newspaper accounts before the the investigators and grand jury. As the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. Just as they both found the forensic evidence supported Wilson's account of events.

    A lack of evidence doesn't prove guilt, we don't prove innocence in this country. But the fact is the forensic evidence proved there was a struggle for the gun in the car where Brown was first shot. Then it proved Brown turned on Wilson and charged at him threatening him again and he was shot and ended up a mere 11 feet from where Wilson was standing. And courts don't state whether murder happened, first a grand jury brings and indictment and then a trial jury finds whether a crime occurred. What was not morally right about the outcome?

    No, they aren't supposed to state the facts. They are supposed to state only facts that can be absolutely confirmed.

    But does the forensic evidence show that Brown was charging at the officer at the end of the encounter? And did all the witnesses attest to this?

    These facts can absolutely be confirmed all facts can that's why they're facts otherwise they're just speculation.

    YES as I have stated, the forensic evidence was quite clear. Go search out the press conference the DA gave where he explained in detail all the evidence and the witnesses who changed their public statements.

    PolitFact is biased. Like a referee who makes too many bad calls, they get fired.

    Police should shoot when they feel they are on danger of physical harm.
    The cop has a right to protect lives.

    We need more dirty harrys

    I don't know, lets check politifact


    "In discussing the case with legal experts, however, we found broad consensus that "murder" was the wrong word to use — a legal point likely familiar to Harris, a longtime prosecutor, and Warren, a law professor" - politifact


    looks like no

    Something like this is happening right now on this forum. Posters who are way to the left in the views they have posted over the last few years are starting to claim they are "centrists" or "independents." Have they finally come to the conclusion that the democrats have gone over the left wing cliff and they are trying to distance themselves from that to save face?

    A logical follow up is to wonder what they'll do about it, or if there's anything to be done at all.

    Be pretty stupid for any law enforcement to be voting democratic that's for sure.
    Or any prosecutors.

    I fully expect they will continue voting for far-left wealth-redistributors like they always have. The addiction to promises of "free stuff" is apparently a hard habit to break.

    Wrong.

    The only conflicting accounts are from witnesses who discredited themselves by changing their testimony ( lying ) and / or being disputed by forensic evidence

    The case was factually proven and the shooting was righteous

    The only conflicting accounts are proven lies
    Warren is a scumbag who smears and lies
