Stop acknowledging the troll. So obvious at this point. He can look up Wilson's history just like anyone else. Now he is just blatantly trolling with misinformation.

Actually, you can only see part of his history, the place he worked at prior was so corrupt, it was disbanded.

You look incredibly dumb nit picking like that. The title didn't say all protesters. It said plainly protesters, which is 100% factually correct.

(1) is becoming less likely and its starting to look like (2) now.

This "chant" is nothing new. The protesters did it back in August and in the beginning of October.

Excuse me genius but there was no proof the headline actually occurred. The reporter could have easily pulled it out of his or your ass.

BTW my conclusion is based on the actual recording not on something you imagine.

There were multiple reporters who reported that it did happen. One was from USA Today. Are they all lying? Or is it sill simply (2)? Anyone who isn't an idiot can see what you are doing.

Darren Wilson lying to citizen concerning his constitutional rights.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBS_is2DQiU

It's a video, so take it on face value.

If he was there for a peace disturbance, and was just trying to give the guy another warning....the fact he was videotaping him may have pissed him off to the point to say "Nah, now you go to jail"

If he ONLY arrested him for video taping him, that is an unlawful arrest. But of course, we don't know the whole circumstance, just a fucking vine video clip of it.

No. No. No.

They didn't neglect to charge the CHP officer because he resigned. They didn't charge him because the case was settled.

Understand?

Do you really think the MB/DW case will be "settled" by DW's resignation? Wow. What are you thinking? Michael Brown's family will be OK with a resignation alone? The mob will be placated? No charges? No cash settlement? Nothing?

You don't even understand how this works. Neither DW nor the police department would want DW to resign when there's still a chance it could go to trial. Got it?

Wow, you do understand the CIVIL case was filed because NO CRIMINAL CHARGES were filed right? I mean, how ignorant are you?

I'm still waiting for anyone to prove me wrong....I've seen a lot of trolling, outright lies, and misinformation, but no one has bothered to refute my statement.

Again, IF Wilson is not indicted and resigns, IT IS TOTALLY POSSIBLE that this could be an informal plea deal or some other form of "you screwed up, but we will let you disappear to save everyone pain and suffering of continued TV coverage".

We have seen this with other police cases (like the one I linked), and we have seen it with plenty of other instances. CEO's resign for wrong/illegal activity all the time, and indicted citizens enter into plea deals all the time too. Many times companies will settle with fines while admitting no wrong doing. Anyone want to claim that this never happens? Be my guest, I'll be waiting to see your evidence.

That is a 100% valid POSSIBILITY. I never claimed it a 100% fact, I said it was possible.

It boggles the mind that certain posters are so attached to Officer Wilson (without even knowing the facts from the GJ ey no less) that they refuse to even consider this is possible. I wonder why? Some other non-logical reason perhaps? Perhaps people can't admit white cops can be wrong whne policing thugs? Hmmm.

It's also possible that Wilson is a member of the Lizard People Illuminati and is actually one of their leaders just hiding out in Ferguson to escape the Nibiru that are putting this on to discredit the Lizard people.

Prove that this isn't a 100% valid POSSIBILITY. Prove it.

Here you go....just as proof that this can and does happen:

Link

Two Clarksburg police officers have resigned to avoid federal prosecution, U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld II announced in a July 9 news conference.

As a result of their resignations, former chief Marshall Goff and former Lt. Tim Smith will not be charged with civil rights violations and making false statements to federal agents stemming from the investigation and charges facing Clarksburg Councilman Sam "Zeke" Lopez.

Fact: Two cops resigned specifically to avoid charges.

Case Closed. You can apologize now for being a bunch of trolling assholes now.

I don't have to. I've proved what I said is possible and does happen.

You have proved you are really stupid though.

You are talking about some "deal" that doesn't even involve the party that believes they have been wronged?! WTF?! You think MB's family and supporters would make a deal that lets DW and the department off the hook with no compensation?

The department stands to win if this even goes to trial! Why would they even think about settling?!

You lose.

Psssst! They've convened a grand jury. Find ANY other case where a grand jury was convened and the officer was allowed to bargain with resignation in exchange for, uh, for not having a grand jury convened to determine if he should face trial.

Dude, you're the one making fallacious arguments, not me. I don't give a flying fuck through a rolling donut what is "possible" since anything is possible, anything. What matters is what is probable.

You did read the initial article right?

Did you read the part where his resignation would be contingent on him NOT being indicted by the grand jury?

I explicitly stated that in my first post. Let me help you out.

Wilson maintains he hasn't done anything wrong, and the resignation talks have hinged on whether a grand jury returns an indictment against him in the death of Brown, people close to the talks said.

Wilson has told associates he would resign as a way to help ease pressure and protect his fellow officers. Wilson has expressed concern about resigning while the grand jury was hearing evidence for fear it would appear he was admitting fault.
(bold mine)

So not sure what point you are triyng to make. Hypothetically, the GJ would return no indictment concerning Wilson. Then he would resign. He would still have to worry about federal charges I guess, for civil rights violations.

But my point stands, do you dispute that people sometimes resign to order to avoid either charges or work-related sanctions in the US?

Well, you are the troll talking about lizards, not me. And I've proved it's possible. Not sure what you are doing at this point, except trolling.

:rolleyes:

He did get off. No criminal charges and civil charges were against the CHP, not him. The government (which means the tax payers) paid the money, not him. He reisgned and keeps his pension and any other benefits he might have.

So strike 3, your out...thanks for playing. Maybe read and educate yourself before self-owning yourself.

My point is that all of your "it is 100% possible" is utterly moronic. Of course it is possible, anything is possible. We can sit here all day and talk about possibilities and we can put up all sorts of fallacious arguments. However, what is PROBABLE matters. That is why I did what I did, to make fun of your idiotic "possibilities".

WHY WOULD DARREN WILSON OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT EVEN WANT A RESIGNATION BEFORE THE GJ DECISION?!

What possible benefit would there be?

You're missing this simple fact: THERE'S NO EFFING WAY HE GOES BACK TO HIS OLD JOB. Either 1) he resigns after the GJ decides there will not be a trial (most likely outcome), or 2) he goes through the trial (unlikely that there will be one), then resigns after winning. If he loses the trial (extremely unlikely), there would be no need to resign because he wouldn't have the job anymore anyway. He would go to jail.

No matter what, the only way he remains with the department is in some new position that protects him from direct public exposure. Period. Even if he didn't do anything wrong, he's not going back to his old job. Not ever.

You're acting like the department wants him to resign and he's playing some hardball with his resignation. This case cannot possibly work like that. He claims to be 100% innocent. The department is not trying to settle with Michael Brown's family. The department does not want him to resign. They aren't negotiating with MB's family for his resignation or anything else. Do you understand?
