It seems that taking a case to trial knowing it was not winnable would have been the only "right" thing to do. There may be multiple cases of police officers taking it too far and committing crimes that should be prosecuted but protesting incidents where the officer was justified seem to me to take away from the cases that should have the spotlight on them.
I saw a TV in Target the other day that had great resolution and excellent networking abilities. That is the first thing I plan on displaying my outrage of the unfair decision of some stupid fucking overpublicized cop killing issue in bumfuck middle America on.
Please don't act like this is the result of a white guy getting away with murder. It's so very obviously not. Not one shred of evidence that could convict Wilson of anything. Just a crapload of made up baloney by fake witness trying to get one over on the man.
Hey Cman, why do you continue to perpetuate the horseshit agenda on these issues when there are thousands, literally thousands, of better racially concerned issues in this country? The guy that got killed? Fucking guy was a repeat criminal. THAT is who you are going to take a stand about? Police have done so much bad in this country, I can give you hundreds of accounts of that, and you are defending and taking up for a, guy that was running away from a place that he robbed, violently. That says more about you than it does for this situation.
I am disappointed in your reaction to this. the kid was wrong,clearly,and the only fix is not the cops,its the black youth mentality that is not helprd in anyway by their community.all I saw was an attempt to cover up his actions that day and blame the white cop. that community reacted with hellfire ,based on lies and false witness accounts. Cops go to work in these areas fully aware of the IceT cop killer mentality. who the hell was this kid to attack a cop responding to his robbery? Facts don't even matter to the hordes in the street tonight,they didn't bother to listen. The white cop is wrong and that's that.
Of course it was.... Look, the cop got a walk on this. Be happy and move on. Office Wilson killed a MadDog Thug that attacked him. As if this decision was ever in doubt with the makeup of the grand jury. To me? Not surprised at all.
Well, the good thing is that so far, no one in Ferguson is stupid enough to riot and give those "protectors" a reason to open fire. Lets see now... Vandalized cars? I'm frankly surprised that the NG didn't open up with belt fed .50cals. These idiots are only making the case for Ferguson PD to kill more of them. They should just go home as all of this isn't gonna change anything and they'll continue to make Ferguson PD's case for them. Just a huge waste of time and energy. The folks in Ferguson have more in common with the residents of Gaza than they do with the Ferguson PD.
The cop got a walk on this? His career is ruined because he shot someone in self-defense! His reputation has been ruined because the media got a hard-on for this story and the locals made up as must BS as possible to try to get him the death sentence. Disgraceful.
This take is also bullshit. That cop is going to walk away from this untouched. He will have a note in his file about it and probably some co workers will rib him about it and that's all. Ruined reputation my ass. You're talking straight from your ruined rectum.
The Cop will become a celebrity. He'll make the rounds on TV. He'll move on with his life. Didn't he just get married? At the end of the day, Darren Wilson will get his 15mins of fame and with all the silent supporters out there just like the ones that bankrolled Zimmerman to the tune of a couple of thousand dollars, Wilson will hardly be on foodstamps when this is all said and done. There really is no race problem in america. Only a figment of the combined imaginations of people of color.
Obama is pissing me off with this bullshit speech of his. He should just STFU and try to hire his next SoD. All this other talk is just that.. It might as well be coming from Rex Ryan for what its worth.
He already resigned due to being unable to do his job in the future because his reputation has been destroyed. But please continue to talk about how nothing bad is happening to him as a result.
As long as the people know the truth then the outcome is what it is. That's all I wanted, it's fucked up how this whole thing went down - who knows what really happened, we prob will never know. Streets won't be safe for a while, I can tell you that - shit could go down any day down in Ferguson. I hope those that are there stay safe. That's bullshit, at the end of the day it's how you carry yourself - I believe you create your own perception and how people think of you. I'm not a terrorist or a thug. Nor do I believe I would be portrayed that way.
The cop has to live with killing a kid. Lets not pretent like that is taken lightly. He didn't set out for that that day.
Those idiots in Ferguson won't be happy until they create more casualties. Actually Byz, I'm not surprised by any of this. As in most cases, there's always gonna be "justification". They're already smearing the guy on the staircase and giving the cop an excuse as to why he blew away an unarmed black male. I'm just pointing out that these things happen just a bit too often. So much so that every police shooting can and will be dismissed. What would have been the harm of taking this to trial? IF nothing else, it would have defused a lot of the resentment. The cop would have been found innocent anyway but the difference would have been the appearance of the system actually working FOR people of color instead of the usual result.
My sarcasm obviously was missed here.. Being a young black man, you might want to stay far away from some areas. Give Cops a wide berth too. As we used to say: "don't let the sun go down on you in _____" You're wearing an invisible bullseye. It is what it is..
