"Poll: Should officer Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, be arrested?"

[Alyx Vance]

alright i guess

Yeah, 6 years a bit of time. Believe it or not but as of August I've been a Senior in highschool.

The kool kids klub bombed and killed 4 black girls inside a church during prayer so...?
I mean how do you forget that in history class

Simple, don't let it cross your mind.

huh so i guess it can ONLY be the kool kids klub that burned down the church

nope, not the rioters(who were actually filmed and reported burning down buildings and firing actual firearms prior), ONLY the kool kids klub is able to burn down churches in anger.

alright but if the rioters are on mike brown's side, there's a STRONG chance that they are not responsible for burning down the church of his father, but rather a white supremacy group with a history of doing just that has done it.

Not all rioters are rioting in favor of Mike Brown, lol.

But It's a possibility the church could have been burned down by the kool kids klub.

[Alternat¡ve]

nice try though

gj just quoting your post

gj on whichever sjw blog you got that from too for them thinking that they must have automatically stolen it if they are black

gj on you again for believing everything you see

I'd say it's possible seeing as how these rioters are just burning stuff down indiscriminately. I mean, I understand the frustration over the racial tensions between the police and the people of Ferguson, but how is burning down a Little Caesar's even a valid act of protest?

which you have done how many times?

gj on whichever sjw blog you got that from too for them thinking that they must have automatically stolen it if they are black

im pretty sure it was off of imgur actually

gj on you again for believing everything you see

i just didnt put much thought into what else could have happened, and for that matter i didnt actually care. but i learned that it wasn't stolen, so i was like oh ok that's interesting to add

that's why i think there's a difference between the rioters and the protestors.

and for the record when i quoted my own post i was implying that the reason i assumed they stole it was because the image said they did

Anyone who thinks that Officer Wilson was a "tribal" and "terrible" cop is just plain ignorant after now.

First up, your "witness" was lying through his teeth and  is honestly not a credible witness. If you take a look at the security footage of Brown stealing the cigarettes; his pal was there too. He was the partner in crime, of course he is going to lie through his teeth to defend Brown. He is not a credible witness while there's other witnesses that match up with each other.

Next. the Brown family attorney is a loving idiot. There, I said it. Yesterday at around 6:30PM ET he talked to CNN and defended Brown because he didn't "choke the store owner or otherwise kill him". Hell, all it takes is a bit of contact for domestic assault charges; not to mention they were already in the process of committing a crime (hint hint theft isn't legal you dolts).

I absolutely trust what Wilson's account said, as it matched up with most of the witnesses. Not to menton, the way Brown acted towards the store owner is exactly the same way he treated Wilson. He shoved him, began walking off, then when in pursuit he attempted to imitate Wilson and the store owner with his size.

The Brown family attorney also said something along the lines of "a little bit of a weight difference and that they were both 6'4"
A little bit of a weight difference? This is a 300 pound monster going up 200 pound Wilson (please correct me if I'm wrong on Wilson's weight; I couldn't hear exactly what Wolf said).

People also use the pitiful excuse of sweet, innocent Brown who "respected authority and would never have done such a thing". Really? Oh you mean the same guy who committed theft? Yeah I doubt he'd treat a police officer who was after the thief better than the store owner who he shoved. 

Also they say he should've stopped pursuit of Brown when Brown ran away. Absolutely not! This man committed felonies, and had just attacked him. Based on how with the store owner Brown had began charging back at him when the store owner followed, I highly believe he did the same thing with Wilson. For the record, criminals are very bad at repeating their methods of crime. One might go through chimneys over and over again, while the other uses open windows. If Brown was actually about to attack Wilson again, then his shots were truly justified.

[SeventhSandwich]

that's why i think there's a difference between the rioters and the protestors.

I think there's even a difference between the rioters burning down police cars and the rioters burning down pizza places. One of them is actually a targeted act of violence and the other is just a random act of arson that the police are too busy to deal with.

This man committed felonies

Lol, I'm not a law student but I think jaywalking and shoplifting are misdemeanors at most. Assaulting a police officer is most definitely a felony but that's what a /trial/ would call into question. They didn't even indict him because it's obvious that the district attorney was covering the police department's asses.

I think you need to reconsider how you view the justice system because petty criminals have just as many rights as anyone else. The controversy here surrounds the fact that the officer used an extraordinary amount of lethal force on an unarmed man who (to the officer's knowledge) had done nothing worse than jaywalking. Just because we know, after the fact, that Michael Brown had committed shoplifting does not mean that the officer shouldn't be tried for unlawfully killing Brown. I don't even think that the fact he committed shoplifting means that he was more likely to have assaulted Darren Wilson. I know plenty of people who regularly shoplift, but the fact they steal from convenience stores doesn't mean that they're violent. It's a stupid crime that a lot of otherwise peaceful teenagers commit.

Whether Darren Wilson consciously shot Michael Brown because he was black is something that we'll never know. However, it doesn't take much to imagine how this might have played out if it was a white teenager, and the motion that Wilson saw as 'grabbing his gun' was perceived as something else. I think half of the anger over this isn't even about Michael Brown, but the history of human rights abuses in Ferguson.

If you want to get a better idea of what the rioters and protestors in Ferguson are thinking(assuming you care about that), read Amnesty International's report on Ferguson:

Okay first of all your entire argument is invalid because you don't know your facts.

Mike Brown didn't steal anything. How do people still believe this on the account that the person who stole from the store was not Mike and Mike was a ways away from the store when the robbery occurred?

Or the fact that Darren Wilson stopped him for jaywalking and not because he was a suspect at the time?

[Kearn]

things

he manhandled the storeowner

[Aces]

he manhandled the storeowner

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/15/us/missouri-teen-shooting/

That was not Mike Brown in the footage though so what are we on about?

[SeventhSandwich]

he manhandled the storeowner

I checked my facts after what Aces said and the storeowner doesn't even believe that Michael Brown was the one who was shoplifting on the surveillance video.

"While the owners of the market are speaking out through an attorney about the surveillance video, the mainstream media have decided to virtually ignore everything they said. Instead, the corporate media outlets have remained content to pretend that this video definitively identifies Michael Brown as the strong arm shoplifter."

[Kearn]

well theres always this bit (which is sourced to msnbc)

Freeman Bosley, the attorney for Dorian Johnson, confirmed that Brown and Johnson had entered the store and cigarillos were taken, and that Johnson had informed the authorities of this fact.

whatever, brown started it either way

[Kimon²]

on an unrelated note

whatever, brown started it either way

what exactly are you referring to? unless im mistaken darren wilson stopped mike brown because he was jaywalking, which started the confrontation.
