There have been better cases (and it pains me to say this) to rally around and promote issues of police brutality reform and the disparities of black criminal justice. I'm not really seeing a cut and dry case with Mike Brown. Theres been too much doubt introduced and I can't help but look back at all of the data in the case thus far.

  1. We don't have the dispatch audio of why Darren Wilson (DW) pulled Mike Brown (MB) over
  2. We don't have the footage of MB fighting with DW
  3. We don't have reliable footage of DW shooting MB from witnesses
  4. We don't truly know if DW knew MB had just committed a robbery (which is why we need the dispatch audio
  5. we don't reliably know what MB said to DW or how he acted
  6. we don't know WHEN MB put his hands up in the air
  7. We do know DW was assaulted. Big no-no, even as a cop
  8. The witness testimony is incongruent. Too many people said "he had his hands up" and others say there was a scuffle before his hands were up.
DW is obviously a white supremacist. I get it. But...where or how did the case differ in how DW said it happened with MB?


I feel like a lot of people are too stubborn to look back and say, "Yeah, we jumped the gun on this one."

To this day, I can not justifiably look at the evidence, official and circumstantial, and say that DW was truly in the wrong or outside of his duties that day and that MB was as functionally as innocent in his interaction with DW as others have claimed.


To the clowns out there, Go ahead and 1-star this...Most of ya'll will do it regardless so get it out of your system. I know this is controversial...but I also know that'll be easier than discussing how justice might actually be handed down or how the facts of the case have influenced your opinion of these complex matters.

Demanding justice for the murder of any Black person is a right cause to rally around...

Shut the hell up Imran
Uhhhhh, no.

I don't unilaterally believe this (i'm a black male who has proven this btw, so drop the bullshyt diversion) and the fact that you think i'd support black supremacy instead of universal justice shows how childish you really are.

Just because they're black doesn't change whether or not a police officer responded appropriately.

Now stick to the fukking topic asswipe.

Depends on what you believe.

If you think Mike Brown really was running through those bullets like Christian Bale in Equilibrium then :yeshrug:

However there's nothing to suggest deadly force should have been applied, or an execution for that matter.
See, its possible to shoot someone, then have them run off, then yes DW shouldn't have fired AS MANY shots.

I can grant you that.

But if MB was fighting with DW in his squad car, and evidence suggests this to be the case, then yeah DW would have shot MB regardless.

What we had here was an execution

According to what?
I see where is going doggy, and unless someone quotes me I intend for this to be my last post in your thread.

But to answer to your question, according to Wilson's story Mike Brown began charging him after he already shot him and so he had to shoot him in the head. I don't believe for a second that a young man who was shot multiple times, and unarmed, would "charge" anybody yielding a gun.
