    Yes, that scene is just about like I envisioned it to be from seeing the image of the bullet holes in Brown.

    I don't think Wilson should be charge with a crime in this case, but then that doesn't mean I think he did the right thing either. I was never a police officer, but I have stood my share of Shore Patrol duty. We never carried fire arms while on SP duty but we did carry a rather healthy baton. I never wanted to use the thing on anyone other than in a gut punch because I knew if I laid that thing along side a guys ear, he was never going to recover.

    So with that thought in mind, anytime a confrontation was about to happen where I did not think I could handle the guy without beating the hell out of him with the billy club, I would delay the confrontation until back up arrived. Call in the regular SPs and a Jeep load of them would show up real soon. Now the combined lot of you can take down the guy without beating the piss out of him with a club. Club punch to the gut accepted.

    It seems to me the Police training is in error here, especially with white guy policing in a black neighborhood. One has to expect that many black people will in fact see the lone white cop as something to count coup on especially since they see the police in general as the tip of the spear for the system that suppresses their rights.

    This does not happen often with a white kid, bad ass as he may see himself, he has not been taught that the cop is suppressor of rights, He may even know that the cop is there to protect rights. Anyway the confrontations are very rare. Most conservative Caucasians and perhaps Asians, do indeed believe rights come from the creator and are non negotiable, just as mister Jefferson implied where as it seem many black people may subconsciously believe that the system (run by the white majority) withhold their rights and the white cop is the visible symbol of the whole problem.

    Some how this view has to change, we are endowed with our rights by our creator without regard to race. But until the change can be implemented the police need to keep in mind that a confrontation with a big black fella can be handled with aid and magic of numbers rather than by lethal force in the hands of one scared white boy.

    This whole concept is why I think Obama, with his bully pulpit and all, has punted! He should have begun the process of change.

    Whether you agree or disagree with the shooting itself, the whole ordeal has made me extremely embarrassed about our country. The behavior of the people all around the US has been horrible.

    Why did Wilson resign if he did nothing wrong?....

    Ted Nugent was right. It hurts me to say that.

    Protests were held nation wide for this thug.

    I live in Henderson NV, if a white 80 year old woman attacks one of our cops I'd put the odds at 50/50 she would end up dead. This kid is a symptom of something greater.

    As she should be.

    Try to kill anyone, even a cop, and you should expect to be killed in self-defense.

    Here's a concise chart. Witnesses agree that Brown had his hands up in the air when he was shot.

    I guess they counted a quite a few lairs. Perhaps the giving false witness laws should be rigidly enforced.

    Without video replay, it is possible they were telling correctly what they thought they saw. obviously the truth is different.

    You said "attacked" which implies the use of a lethal weapon.

    But many 80 year old women are fully capable of murdering someone with their bare hands.

    Last week the feisty 80-year-old Ruth Sluder stepped away from one of her Taekwondo sessions at Olson’s Martial Arts Academy where she is a third-degree black belt to talk a bit about her brand of enthusiasm.
    It was her birthday. She’d just finished breaking a wooden board with her foot.


    My Grandmother lived 97 years and could cut most men to pieces armed only with her dry wit.
