I'm all for making this cop sweat. Having to wait this long for the grand jury to decide surely has cost him a couple of pounds. Next will come the trial, whether civil or criminal (or both). Police need to be reminded from time to time who they serve.

That's a heck of an ungrateful attitude to have toward someone who put his life on the line for you and almost died serving you, the public, that day. :colbert:

maybe the jury will take up bshole's suggestion in P&N, and sentence the cop to prison even if they don't think he's guilty.

In any event, won't this whole problem go away if we just throw Wilson in jail for a couple of years? Wouldn't it be worth it to avoid the rioting and mayhem? I get the feeling that the violence will never stop until we as a nation do something to punish Wilson (regardless of whether he did anything wrong or not).

Go suck on Wilson's nuts, will you? As others have mentioned in this thread, the people of that community have had police bias issues for a while and it was only a matter of time before things exploded. Wilson (and every cop on the beat) need to be reminded that they serve the community. They aren't an occupied army.

Police don't have to do that, according to the SCOTUS. And they don't. I can't imagine most cop doing that (putting his life on the line) for me. Maybe if I was a blonde with big tits, they might. In fact, I've seen police run away when things got hot. Most are in it for the pension and the idealism.

He didn't have to, yet he did. He almost died doing it. Once again: you are an ungrateful jerk.

He was protecting law and order responding to calls from you, the citizens, when he encountered Brown. What do you think Brown was going to do when he got that gun? Huh? Speak up? I'm having trouble hearing you.

Wilson almost died while "serving" the public and yet you think he needs to be "reminded" as if he oppressed the public by defending him and us. TPAD

Maybe the "community" needs to invest time in figuring out why their kids are thugs and rob stores. Maybe they need to figure out why 70% of children are born to single mothers. Maybe they need to figure out why their unemployment rate is so high.

Maybe, just maybe, they need to figure their shit out first and stop blaming everybody else.

Instead we get race hustlers trying to froth the continuation of the victimization card, like they did with Tawanna Brawley, Duke Rape, and Trayvon.

"Brenda's Got A Baby"

Brenda's got a Baby
Brenda's got a Baby

I hear Brenda's got a baby
But, Brenda's barely got a brain
A damn shame
The girl can hardly spell her name
(That's not our problem, that's up to Brenda's family)
Well let me show ya how it affects the whole community
Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a
junky
Went in death to his arms, it's sad
Cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
Just cause your in the ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow
But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation
Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch the joy end
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Went out and had a church of kids
As long as when the check came they got first dibs
Now Brenda's belly is gettin bigger
But no one seems to notice any change in her figure
She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
In love with the molester, who's sexing her crazy
And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever
And dreams of a world with the two of them are together,
whatever
He left her and she had the baby solo, she had it on the
bathroom floor
And didn't know so, she didn't know, what to throw away and
what to keep
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heep
I guess she thought she'd get away
Wouldn't hear the cries
She didn't realize
How much the the little baby had her eyes
Now the baby's in the trash heep balling
Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Brenda wants to run away
Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, the social workers here
everyday
Now Brenda's gotta make her own way
Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed
So now what's next, there ain't nothing left to sell
So she sees sex as a way of leaving hell
It's paying the rent, so she really can't complain
Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby

Baby

(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)

We all know a cop will lie so I don't take your speculations (probably from Wilson's testimony) seriously.

Maybe the "community" needs to invest time in figuring out why their kids are thugs and rob stores. Maybe they need to figure out why 70% of children are born to single mothers. Maybe they need to figure out why their unemployment rate is so high.

True. the black community has serious problems to deal with. But the police aren't helping. They treat them with contempt.

I see the shit storm is already happening...:D..and you may be right. However looting, burning, destroying your own neighborhood isn't the way to handle it. Where is Al and Jesse to show them the way?

Oh, wait, that is their way....diametrically opposed to MLK.

Suck it, Dari, try castor oil beans next time.

You're a moron. Try to see things from the perspective of others. I've seen police bias first hand. There are uniformed police guarding the place I work at, in addition to plainclothes private security. Whenever a black person comes by, they are extra hostile. But when it's someone who is white or Asian, they're treated differently, as if the blacks don't belong there but others do. It doesn't matter if they're dressed in a three piece suit or delivering a certified letter. It's wrong no matter how you look at it. This inbred bias that blacks are "thugs" or dangerous dates back hundreds of years and it's part of the reason why they have a problem with police.

well not EVERYONE is a 10000 post lifer nerd who spends every minute scouring this forums many annals! :colbert:
You have mad me disappoint.

no wonder that guy got killed, he's a terrible pome writer
That worked.

I had this discussion with a former police detective. You know what he said to me? "It's the only language they understand because it's what they rap about, what they beat into their kids, what their kids see their mom's boyfriends doing and what their gang members teach them to do".

Look at a kid like Adrian Peterson's. Take away the fame and all you have is a guy who runs around fucking everything that he sees and beats the shit out of his kids whom he barely knows. Where did he learn that? From his father who beat him and was in prison.

You can't pretend that this isn't their problem, it is. But instead of facing it they would rather make excuses, like "hands up don't shoot", the fucking idiot DIDN'T HAVE HIS HANDS UP. But do you think anybody on that side wants to go out and say that? Hell no, they prefer to keep the game going. It's a better narrative for their political slant. Even after the fact they'll still say the same shit. They keep doing it to Travyon, saying GZ was using Stand Your Ground, which he wasn't.

It gets tiring and I can see why, as a cop, you'd just say "fuck it".
But, but, but......racist gif....I can't help but feel like it's the middle east. Let them kill each other and God will sort them out.


I don't see a reversal of this problem. Buy more guns, buy more ammo.

It's from the autopsy, genius. The burn patterns on his hands can only be from EXTREMELY close discharge, exactly as Wilson described (it discharged in the police vehicle as they struggled over it). You are the one making wild and inflammatory speculation, just like the Land Rover vs bikers thread.

Oh, you remember that? The flasher has been dealt with. My cousin got $90K from the embassy to make this go away. I was going to get to know him but got good news 2 weeks ago while attending a brit milah. So we just confronted his employer. Friend is going to marry the next president of a major country so I have to be on my best behavior for the next 2-3 years:)

You are making sweeping generalizations and stereotypes based on your limited experience and projecting that bias onto others. Sound familiar? You are racist against cops. D:

Then add to it the fools who say "Well, give them some justice so there won't be any rioting". This is what I am talking about. That isn't justice, it isn't truth, it isn't facing reality. It is perpetuating a falsehood.

And that is the problem right there. You see blacks as this one monolithic group. They aren't. It's extremely stupid. "They" is nothing more than a reflection of the person who is talking.

Really? The autopsy said Brown was going to take the gun? Or did Wilson add that?
