I'm not telling you how to post. I'm just saying before you call BS on another poster you should check your own.
As you are the only one between us posting bs, I have no worries.
Especially as you are now trying to confuse the issue between your personal comments towards me
(the claimed bs by you), and the actual topic.
That crap doesn't fly either.
The only "position" I stand behind where this thread is concerned is what I believe was your reason for posting the videos in your post #49. I don't believe it was to refute anything the witnesses from the OP said. Rather, I firmly believe you posted the videos for the sole purpose to say, "Look, Michael Brown was totally wrong!" And not once have I disagreed with your opinion on the matter. In fact, I've gone out of my way to say, "Maybe you're right!," since clearly there are other witnesses who give a different account from that given by those in the OP.
See all the stuff in green? All of it is irrelevant to the specific exchange about your personal comment, and is nothing more than deflection from your getting personal by posting racial horse****.
And yet you continue to deflect and "standby" your inappropriate racial horse**** assertion. Which is what it was.
As you were told, you are and were, wrong.
You can standby your being wrong all you want, it doesn't change the fact that you are still wrong.
You came into the thread at page 5, quote me, and the first words you put down (post #48) were...
...as if I claimed that Michael Brown was surrendering w/his hands up at the time he was shot. I've n-e-v-e-r made such a claim and I don't think anyone else has either.
:doh
Yes, I quoted you and provided additional information that was lacking.
Like the reported 50 feet was not 50 feet, but actually yards. Duh!
Like the worker reporting that there were three Officers on the scene at the time of the shooting, showing his account is skewed by what he later saw. Duh!
And I never said you made such a claim. Your failure to understand what has been provided and why it was provided, is not my problem.
However, I can totally understand why you'd be quick to point that out because when most people say that Michael Brown had his hands up it gives the impression that they believe he was surrendering. That has never been my position. If anything, I've taken the position that Michael Brown was defenseless at the time he was shot and that maybe Officer Wilson used excessive force. Maybe...
To that, all I've said is "Michael Brown had his hands up/raised at the time he was shot" which is factual. But I've also said it's highly likely Michael Brown was still in an aggravated/agitated state and, if so, IMO Officer Wilson had every right to be afraid for his life and shoot based on the fact that he had previously had an altercation with him in his police car and at least one shot was fired. Regardless of what either of us believes, it's going to be up to a jury to determine whether or not he was surrendering or if he was in an aggressive/agitated state taunting and/or pursuing Officer Wilson at the time he was shot. But all you had to do when you chimed in (post #48 and #49, respectively) was ask the simple question: "Was Michael Brown surrendering when he had his hands up or was he taunting the police?" and use the videos to state your case from there. You didn't. Instead, you went right into attack mode.
All this is nonsense and irrelevant. I did not go into attack mode, nor did I say you specifically said anything, so stop with your absurdities.
I provided additional information as you were already told. I even later pointed that out sarcastically.
And yet here you are trying to claim otherwise. :doh
all I've said is "Michael Brown had his hands up/raised at the time he was shot" which is factual.
:naughty
No. It was already pointed out to you in the following exchange that your assertion is not factual, as it is in contention.
it doesn't negate the fact that Michael Brown's arms were still raised at the time he was shot to death.
Wrong.
That is contested by other accounts.
Even the liars have changed their accounts to say they were going up at that time. Which means they were not up according to them.
And as I pointed out to Vance, I believe two separate points in time are being related.
Even VanceMack showed it is in contention using the witness he did.
Which you then quoted ...
He's bald up. He has his arms under his stomach and he was half-way down. And the officer lets off (fires) about 3 or 4 shots at him.
That is not having your hands up when he was shot.
