I saw Paiget interviewed either Mon or Tue. Thing that bothered me police failed to interview the closest eye witness (Jackson) for at least 5-6 days. CNN interviews witnesses and the police don't? I would think you want to get statements early while memories are freshest.

Tue Jackson offered himself up for an official statement but by Fri police hadn't talked to him.
Yup. If people are eyewitnesses, they are probably going to stick around afterward. Cops need to take names and statements from them right then, with some being scheduled for depositions.

Two possibilities here. (1) Abject incompetence. (2) Police wanted no statements or only statements that corroborated the official story. Saturday was violence free, as evidenced by their ability to get the surveillance tapes on Brown's robbery which only indirectly affected the much more serious event of Brown's death before the store was looted and burned. This suggests to me a willful intent to ignore anything that did not match the official story. Doesn't mean that's what happened, but it's what it looks like to me. And while that's not deterministic of Wilson's guilt, it certainly didn't do him any favors - in spite of looking as though the intent was to do just that.

Actually two things have been released:

Store video showing brown stealing.
A video showing Wilson getting a medal.


Makes you go hmmm....

You're forgetting the dozen witnesses that agree with the officer's story,
who do you think "leaked" that to a police reporter for a local newspaper?

Henry Davis. He is suing the police department after being beat. Guess what he was charged with?

Attempted murder or battery of an officer? Somebody who didn't get shot dead enough?

His head proves why you always cuff a suspect even if you think dey dead.

Lol! Yes, I've seen no one claim that brown was shot in the back. What I do have and have posted, is a video of a witness who was quite close to the incident, tell the press what she saw. What do you have? Nothing. Exactly!

Come back when you have transcripts of witness statements taken from the investigators. To claim the witnesses for Brown are credible is laughable without those. Media interviews conducted on the street don't count for shit. Sorry.

I don't have enough evidence one way or the other;)


Did you see what I did there? I made no judgement because I don't have all the facts.

Wooosh. Right over your head. I was simply quoting you.

You are parroting the tired narrative of media witnesses with accounts favoring brown due to your own myopic view of what you think or wish actually happened. You sound like you indeed have made your judgement already. Go back to the mob.

Do you know how a message board works? I corrected the poster I was responding to. If you have an issue with the person he was responding to the perhaps you can quote him.

What's laughable is your sorry atempt to say that I've picked sides when all I have done is posted facts. The facts being that the person in the interview said she saw most of the incident. You know the incident this whole thread is about. Did you have some counter evidence or counter witnesses? Do you have info about the witnesses that have been presented so far that might discredit their statements? No? Then you don't have shit and I have no idea why you are even posting in this thread.

Looks like this thread is closed guys!! Wackydan says since the police have yet to release any info that we shouldn't bother discussing this. You can all go home!


This board gets dumber by the day!

Since you aren't smart enough to figure out how google works, he was innocent person that hauled in by police, and when he complained, 4 officers beat the shit out of him, then fined him for getting blood on his clothes.

Also, the police conveniently didn't get a camera recording.

They're both black, so they're both wronged by the racist police in ivwshane's eyes.

Honestly no surprise at all that you think he deserved the beating. Actually expected at this point.

That situation of where the LEO's were clearly in the wrong and very much brazen in their unlawful arrest, beating while cuffed, and subsequent charges for him bleeding on their clothes during the beating.

While we don't know enough about the new situation to make a fair comparison, it does contribute by showing us the state of mind of LEO's involved. As the old addage goes, 1 bad apple spoils the bunch. You can safely assume that the 4 officers involved have buddies on the force that would do the exact same thing.

Perfect example or perpetuating the meme of the guilty black man. And righties always complain this doesn't exist. So let's inform the ignorant asshole respondent...

Ferguson police 'mistakenly arrested an innocent man before viciously beating him so bad he was taken to hospital and then charged for bleeding on THEIR uniforms

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...beating-charging-bleeding-THEIR-uniforms.html

So the police department release a tape of Brown stealing from a convenience store to show his capability of attacking a cop.

The story of Henry Davis should carry equal weight as to capability of police abusing citizens.

No way. Was Wilson in the group that beat the other guy? Just because he was part of the same force does not make him guilty by association.

The point is, just because the Police do something doesn't make it legal, morally right, or ethical. And they are NOT to be trusted to protect and serve. Some departments will be worse than others. My small town, cops are generally ok, but they've harassed me before for no reason. It didn't escalate because I'm a courteous citizen who respects others, including cops.

My point is that it shows the mindset of LEO's, and where there's 1, or 4, there's more. Or does that logic only apply to citizens when it's convenient.
