No, you’re not going to divert this thread into another whataboutist rant on January 6th. There are already hundreds of other such threads. Find one of those.

I'm just asking, didn't mean to hit a nerve.

Michael Brown was stopped for walking down the middle of street. Tell him to move and move on. Story over.

There are now more black officers in Ferguson than white officers. Personally, I think any white officer who takes a job in that city, Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, or any other city with a large black population is an idiot. We can talk about why I think that.

Not at all. But…facts are facts. Just because they don’t fit your thought process doesn’t change the facts.

The officer who killed Brown had no need to engage with him to begin with.

The engagement started with Mikey roughing up a shopkeeper who told him to put back the stuff he was stealing. That's what the officer was stopping him for. Sure, he could have let it slide, like Progressives would like to let a lot of criminal conduct slide. That's what causes society to slide, straight into the gutter. Mikey got what he asked for.

He stole from a store. He had the choice to not act like an animal, he opted to charge a police officer. In return he paid the price. Story closed.

Thanks, I'll pass.
 
Ferguson ensures as a litmus test.

Even in 2024 we still find social justice warriors citing Michael Brown as one of the "victims" of systemic racism in law enforcement. Here's the thing, though, if the person making that claim cannot acknowledge that A) Michael Brown was a thug and B) all the objective evidence we have at our disposal indicates that Officer Wilson did exactly what he should have done that day then you are dealing with someone who values a political narrative over the truth.

Obviously none of us reading these pages were there that day. All we can go by are the reports from the police, from eyewitnesses, from the medical examiners, and other officials involved in the case. Sifting through all that information an objective person would have to conclude the following:
  1. Michael Brown was prone to violent, criminal behavior; or at least he was that day as we have video evidence of him robbing a convince store and assaulting a cashier.
  2. Michael Brown was cognitively impaired at the time of his death. Blood tests confirmed levels of THC consistent with having recently smoked pot.
  3. The eyewitnesses who claim that Michael Brown never reached into the police car, that he was shot in the back while running away, and that he was standing still with his hands in the air when shot again (the genesis of "hands up, don't shoot") were wrong on all three assertions. The forensic evidence is not consistent with any of those claims.
  4. The forensic evidence is consistent with officer Wilson's account: Brown’s blood was found in the car (consistent with him reaching in and the gun going off), there were no entry wounds in Brown’s back, and the angle of the entry wounds in the front of Brown’s body were consistent with Brown leaning forward, as one does while charging forward and one does not do while standing still with arms raised.
  5. Officer Wilson, having not been proven to have done anything wrong, lost his job as a police officer in Ferguson.

Again, if you find someone unable to at least acknowledge the credibility of these points -- like so many on the American left, black or white -- then you're almost certainly dealing with someone who puts politics and a political narrative above reality and social justice above justice.

Another diversion. We’ve already done enough analysis on that case to last us for a thousand years.

It gives some insight as to why black people hate the police.

Some tin God had to hassle him for walking down the middle of a street.

That was unknown to the officer at the time.

He was a criminal, and he was shot because he charged a police officer. Of course after fighting with him for his gun. Hands up don’t shoot NEVER happened. Play stupid games….and you pay the price. M
 
Are all of you guys relitigating what happened with Michael Brown overlooking something, an officer is not doing too well today and it seems like there is a bunch of passive acceptance of today's events by many in this thread.

Brown tried to grab the officer’s gun and slammed the police cruiser’s car door on his arm subsequent to committing a strong-arm robbery. No one should try to make a hero out of a violent criminal.

They tried….and for a while America believe the lie. Until evidence proved Brown was a criminal, and charged the officer. There was NEVER any hands up don’t shoot. It was a lie

Good God, the oficer didn't need to confront him for walking in the street.
