of those who say Brown SHOULD HAVE BEEN shot are now getting legitimacy by saying Garner was a victim.

I dont know about any of you but I want the Glenn Beck's of the world to shut their mouth until they are ready to accept ALL of the facts, not just the ones that bother them the most.

There is as much truth in that interview and his Grand Jury testimony as there is at Fox News....which is to say just enough to give right-wing nuts jobs something to latch onto and no more. Then the false narrative gets repeated and screamed over and over and over until the rest of the media reports the story with the same old 'But some source don't agree...' or 'But that conclusion is disputed by....'.

No matter how you slice it, that punk ass Wilson overreacted MASSIVELY to a jay-walking/shoplifting (maybe?) incident and then recklessly escalated it. HIS decisions and response to the situation should have always been the focus of the investigation. His behavior indicates a personality type that NEVER should be armed and authorized to use force - that of an overly fearful coward.

The number one question I have for a police officer is "would you do your job without a gun?" If they answer "no", then the follow up is "why do want to be a cop then"? If serving the community and upholding the law are not in the top 2 reasons, they have no business being allowed in the public with a gun.

I would also like to know how long Murderer Wilson had been seeing mythological creatures and whether or not he was hallucinating on a regular basis prior to 09Aug14 and if so was he properly medicated and fit for duty on that day? If you are going to testify that the only way you can describe a human being is as a demon, then you are either a) lying or b) insane. THERE ARE NO DEMONS ROAMING ST. LOUIS YOU RACIST MOTHERFUCKER....THOSE ARE JUST BLACK MEN YOU COWARD!!!

Apparently, not much to say here.

Is this the moment where everyone is supposed to feel frozen with thought? Do we have to get a few more examples of how forensics could prove false, but it doesn't matter, cause a tainted grand jury system negates that question?
