(Continued) could be the 1 good cop. Even white, male cops are entitled to innocent until proven guilty and the due process of a grand jury. He shouldn’t have to pay for the sins of others. And likewise, although there r many innocent black youth harmed by the police, this might not b one of those cases. Mike Brown just robbed a store, assaulted the clerk, and was high on drugs. The witnesses that testified to him attacking n charging the officer were also black. Plz hold off until more is known

KNOW YOUR FACTS, KNOW THE TRUTH:

“MYTH: Wilson stopped Brown because he was a suspect in a robbery.

FACT: Wilson did not know Brown was a suspect in a strong-arm robbery that happened moments before the shooting, according to Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson. Wilson stopped Brown and his friend for walking in the middle of the street, Jackson said.

MYTH: Autopsies tell us EXACTLY what happened when Brown was shot.

FACT: Police say Brown struggled with Wilson inside his police car, then reached for Wilson’s weapon. Brown’s family and some witnesses say Wilson killed Brown as he raised his hands in surrender. Multiple pathologists say the autopsy performed by the St. Louis County medical examiner and the pathologist hired by Brown’s family could support either version.

Pathologists say forensic science alone can’t determine whether Wilson justifiably shot the teen.” [x]

Yes, Mike Brown had pot in his system BUT THAT DOESNT JUSTIFY HIS MURDER jesus. i have pot in my system right now, probably. do you have any idea how long pot stays in your system? if you’re a frequent user it can stay in your system for 7-30 days. even if he’d smoked an hour before he was shot, it doesn’t make a difference to me. 

saying he had “drugs in his system” are specific words used to vilify an 18 year old boy. 

^ “Reflective of the county’s racial make-up, which is 70 percent white, but not of Ferguson’s, which is about two-thirds black.” [x]

“For 104 days, the police have lied and said Mike Brown was killed 35 feet away from Darren Wilson’s SUV. It was actually 148 feet.

This distance is essential to the defense and how Darren Wilson must demonstrate that he “reasonably feared for his safety.” At the point in which Mike Brown ran half a football field away, how reasonable is it for an armed officer to fear anyone?” [x]

“Six different witnesses on the scene claimed that Mike Brown was shot at repeatedly from behind before he turned around, faced Darren Wilson, verbally surrendered, and put his hands in the air. Wilson, having already shot at Mike Brown at least six times while he fled, then fired off a barrage of four quick shots at the surrendered Brown he was looking at face to face, killing him on the spot.” [x]

The Prosecutor rigged the system (video)

“The Missouri prosecutor overseeing an investigation into the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown has deep family roots among police: his father, mother, brother, uncle and cousin all worked for St. Louis’ police department, and his father was killed while responding to a call involving a black suspect.” [x]

Ferguson grand jurors are not barred from following news about Ferguson but are only allowed to use evidence they’ve seen in session to reach a decision
