Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot[W:72,732]

Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot

Do you know that Grand Jury's aren't impaneled unless the DA thinks that there's a case. And that they believe that they can demonstrate to the panel that there is, in this case, probable cause that the officer wrongly shot and killed Brown?

To be honest I think that DAs sometimes use a grand jury to avoid taking risks. That doesn't mean that there isn't a case. It only means that I think a DA without any balls will defer to a grand jury. In this case I think is the smart thing for a DA to do.

World-renowned forensic pathologist vs. "buck"

Gee, that's a tough choice. :lamo

He could have been describing Wilson moving towards Brown.
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot

But they haven't and that has nothing to do with you pulling out the race card. The race card just hurts your credibility. I don't believe anyone on either side at this point so nobody gets any credibility at this point.
The "race card" isn't a "get-out-of-jail free card" for thinly veiled racism.

The complete dismissal of multiple eyewitness accounts that agree on the majority of relevant and significant aspects of the incident, because for no logical reason they are deemed biased, is racism. Pretending that blacks and whites are on equal footing and that we all have a fair shot is racism. Pretending that our nation wasn't built on the backs of slaves so that rich white landowners could contemplate freedom is racism.

I'm really not sorry if that offends you or anyone else.
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot




We have perhaps thousands of DA's across the country Impaneling Grand Jury's daily and you wish to paint them all by this one example. Have any evidence that THIS DA is politically motivated in THIS case?

Fenton, I have to side with Monte on this one. It is the smart thing for the DA to do in this case. Has nothing do to with politics and everything to do with the high profile visibility of the case.

I think you're doing quite well, actually. lol Welcome to DP.
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot

Brown's clothes would tell the range. Baden didn't have access to the clothes.

Clothes would tell the range.. But htat doesn't negate that if it was as close as Brown reaching in the car when Brown was shot in the chest (as claimed by Johnson).. The skin would have told the range. The wound would have had stippling from the gunpowder.

I need a nonconservative perspective, because I really am not trusting my own hearing at this point. Did you actually hear that being said, unmistakably, in the video?
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot


Not worth a damn. The minute you posted a link to Huffpo you lost me. That is as bad as a post from Fox news.

I do give you credit for using the word "disrespect" correctly. It drives me nuts when people use that word as a verb in past tense (disrespected).
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot

I'd link the actual AG report, but I'm afraid that nobody would bother to do the math...
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot

Of plueeze...No, DA's are ALWAYS impartial and NEVER motivated by "probable cause" or a Political axe to grind.

Are you THAT naive ??

First the citizens of Ferguson are against this cop. Then the media is against this cop. Now you are saying that the District Attorney has an ax to grind?

Are you and officer Wilson engaged?

Thanks for listening Buck, maybe but not likely. When # 2 man mentions the police, he says the police.
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot

Who has more credibility? A cop with a spotless service record, or an admitted thief? Hmm!
Given his history? I'd take word of the shoplifter.

Well, the AG is subject to scrutiny also. I am going to wait for some actual reports to come out. I don't trust law enforcement (on their face) and I don't trust........ Well, I don't trust anyone actually, except good friends and family.

I have been blind sides by too many clients lying to me to believe anyone without the actual documentation. I don't put anything past anyone I guess.
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot

None of which has any effect on Wilson's spotles record. Brown was a robber.

Oh yeah...post links supporting those claims. Thanks!

What spotless record???
His whole police department was FIRED!

Buck, are you going to the pig roast tomorrow? If so I will buy you a whiskey.
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot

That's fine if you want to question the AG, I can't completely defend it because I didn't prepare the report, although I can call out hypocracy if it is evident that it is being dismissed due to the evidence it provides (not saying that is the case with you, don't know you well enough).

However, dismissing it because HuffPo was willing to actually report on it is idiocy. The report is from the state attorney general, public record, and relevant to the context of the situation. Therefore, it shouldn't be hard to find some conservative but fair news outlets that have written about it, right? Fox?
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot


Wait, I will read the report. I thought you meant the US AG. Holder has no credence. The problem with Huffpo is they spin and I hate spin, regardless what side it is on.

Everyone spins. HuffPo falls left of center for sure, and yes they generally do spin, but off a credible base.
 
Re: Attorney: New audio reveals pause in gunfire when Michael Brown was shot


If the officer thought MB was a robbery suspect then why didn't his story mention anything about a robbery or robbery suspects?
 

Given Brown's total lack of priors he would most likely be set free on probation.
 
And let's please not pretend like the NYT didn't report on August 19 that law enforcement officials confirmed that Wilson fired his weapon as Brown was running away from him but all of the shots missed, and that nobody has even refuted that law enforcement provided that information, let alone it's accuracy.

And yet, how many posts in this particular thread alone, which was started on August 26, make the assertion that all shots were fired towards Brown's front?

Okay, I looked at the report. It looks like they have the same problem as a city I used to live in. The white officer to black officer percentage is hugely skewed in relation to the population. That is a problem in so many ways. I have a friend that is black and she retired from the Aurora PD. She was handed a KKK pamphlet once. It wasn't because they wanted to include her in their membership. It was a warning. She and her husband are like second parents to me. She is good people. They tried to hang her ass out in an undercover operation and she side stepped the sting. It saved her life. I can see where you are coming from but I am still going to wait to see how this shakes out. Like I said, I don't trust law enforcement just because they are law enforcement. Anyone that would do that is naive.

As for Huffpo, I will read information from just about anywhere but HuffPo. We can agree to disagree on the HuffPo thing.
 
Oh but I disagree.

He's stupid/crazy enough to throw his life away by commuting a Felony strong arm robbery on VIDEO and attack an officer and attempt to wrestle away his Pistol . ( You left the bolded part out for some reason.......)
Allegedly.
 
I haven't had a cigarette in 14 days and all you folks are making me cranky.
