Nothing reported yet but there are multiple people posting pictures of armored vehicles and choppers. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...-just-flew-over-kirkwood-heading-to-ferguson/ Makes sense to release it on a Friday night, no kids in school, most offices closed.
In other news, the Brown family, including Michael Browns mother, are brawling over t-shirt sales. She may face felony armed robbery charges. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...elony-armed-robbery-charges-article-1.2001373 http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/michael-brown-family-commemorative-t-shirt/2014/11/07/id/606122/ Way to honor Michael Browns memory people.

I think everyone knew this was going to happen to be honest. This Hacker Group released the identities of some of the members of the KKK. Things are going to get pretty crazy once the word is out that Wilson won't be charged.
Hopefully it's all just people being super precatious but it sure does sound like the shit could hit the fan here.
I know it is going to get crazy. It was more a rhetorical question. The grand jury was comprised of six white men, three white women, two black women and one black man. While it takes 9 votes to indict it seems from the news being leaked that it is not really in question. There is also the federal civil rights probe and other outside involvement and they even had the coroner hired by the parents testify. All the bases seem to have been covered. Protesting is fine but the protestors need to keep the agitators under control otherwise their message will get lost in the coverage of the burning, looting and bottle throwing.
The problem is the agitators don't care about Michael Brown or the message, it's all about that new TV or LeBrons for these guys.
I think most people already figure that cop will get a pass so the grand jury verdict will only surprise folks if it indicts. The racial makeup of that grand jury assured that 9 votes would be easily obtained and gives them cover so they can say 3 blacks were there. Jury rigging is nothing new. Killing black kids is nothing new either. Life and death goes on. Nothing ever really changes. It is what it is...
White Cop kills unarmed Black kid and walks without charge? Yep, I'd say that our justice system at work alright.. Or as Richard Pryor once said: "Just Us.."
Yea! Forget the evidence! This poor innocent kid didn't do anything wrong. It's just racism. Truly sad to read that from a guy I have a lot of respect for.
I think we can safely say that the vast majority of the populous do not want to see 18 year old kids getting shot and killed, whether white or black. With that in mind the entire situation leading up to the shooting needs to be examined. When the incident first occurred it was reported that Brown reached into the vehicle and attempted to grab Wilson's gun, that led to the first gunshot wound. That was reported right at the onset and grand jury leaks as well as blood evidence in the vehicle seem to support that part of the story. Then over about the next 90 seconds Brown starts moving away from the vehicle, turns back towards the officer and either gives himself up or starts moving back toward the officer in a threatening manner. Now let us for a minute just go on the premise that Brown was moving back toward the officer in a threatening manner. Do you not then think the officer is warranted in his actions if this was what happened? It being previously shown that Brown had no qualms about going for the officers gun and his size makes him a formidable adversary. It seems the officer would rightly feel his safety was in question if this is how it played out. None of this means I support any officer involved in a shooting, just that I think there have been much better examples of unjustified shootings that should have been protested. Body cameras would be a step in the right direction of making sure the right cases of officer involved shootings are prosecuted.
When the the governor declares a state of emergency, starts getting the national guard ready, and says they need to prepare for the upcoming riots, it's obvious he knows the results of the grand jury investigation already. There's only going to be riots if Wislon doesn't go to trial.
The issue is that I don't know if the kid had to die, I understand that the cop certainly has a right to defend himself but if I was on that grand jury I'd be real curious to know what transpired after Brown was shot once because he wasn't near the cruiser when he was fatally wounded. My question would be was one or two shots enough to lead to Brown being subdued or did he absolutely need to be killed to prevent the officer from being killed.
I understand but that is where the real protestors need to step up, point out the agitators and get them removed from the crowd. I was watching the streams that are being posted last night and they were trying to point out the bottle throwers to police. This can only help their cause so that it is not sidetracked by the looters and bottle throwers.
Good on them, this does not need to turn into another LA Riots thing, I'm still not sure what the Koreans who had their stores robbed and burned to the ground had to do with justice.
Hard to determine when he should have stopped shooting especially since it probably only took about 1.5 seconds to discharge 6 rounds and which of those 6 rounds was the one that stopped Brown's advance.
From what I'm told by cops they are trained to shoot to stop the threat, and target the chest since it's the largest target area on a human and least likely to miss leaving stray bullets flying beyond the target. Maybe he didn't need to die, but if you get into a physical altercation with a cop in his vehicle you are risking your own life whether you're black, white, green or purple.
What's sad is when the obvious is ignored. Running from a Cop is not cause for a lethal shot or SHOTS in this case. Stacking the jury with 9 whites knowing full well that all you need is 9 votes for dismissal is NOT a coincidence, its jury stacking. So yeah, its always ok for a White Cop to kill black youth since they're all thugs anyway. Hell, you don't even have to be a cop anymore. This case was over before it began and all of this, including the protests, was only theatre and a colossal waste of time.
