Not surprising at all. Unfortunate, but I guess we'll have to let them be.How lovely. Guess you can't really expect anything less.
Reminds me of how the media was treated in Venezuela during the protests in that country. Sad.Cop pointed a gun at a guy livestreaming the protests and said he would shoot him if he didn't turn his light off. SWAT vehicles are teargassing people who are fleeing protests.
Several media members were handcuffed for no particular reason by Ron Johnson himself.

What is wrong with this?

Most of this is police propaganda.
Yeah - I guess they Photoshopped the surveillance video...
It seems you actually WANT to believe that this white man (with only a very positive record) shot an innocent black man just for kicks. Yet, you care nothing about the daily slaughter of truly innocent black people by other black people.

Dude, seriously? Have you gone back to full on troll?
No one is painting this picture.

I don't think he's trolling to get a rise out of anyone, he genuinely believes what he's saying, and the other conservative posters this board has had in the past would be saying the same thing.
I'm curious, Aeon - you have yet to reply to the eyewitness reports. There have been at least two independent sources - sources who don't know each other - who claim that Brown was shot while fleeing and then gunned down once he turned around with his hands up. What are your thoughts on that? If those witnesses' stories are accurate, do you STILL think Officer Wilson was justified in killing Brown?

Agreed. Over the past few years - to disagree with the "Left" in here is equated to trolling.
And I only lean conservative in my personal life. I genuinely hate politics. But I despise the media even more. They find isolated stories like this - jump to conclusions - get everyone riled up - only to find out later the events didn't actually fit the "the script."
Now ... I don't think you're a virulent racist and I don't think you're blindly supporting cops. What I do think is that you're angry that liberals think this proves they're right and want to tap away at the details to point out that this is bleeding heart liberal overreaction. You're mad about the idea that, in your mind, liberals are co-opting a tragedy to make political points and are so giddy about the idea of being able to paint white people in power as racist that they're willing to twist or outright ignore facts so that they can maintain the narrative that the white racist cop shot the innocent black kid.
It is this sort of thinking that I find so damned boring. You make some good points - and I truly listen/dwell on them - then you fall into this mindset. Even blind odds would give me a chance of being right on occasion...The problem is this: you're wrong and you've always been wrong.
Just because you say so - does not make it so. Every perspective must be listened to, respected, and taken into consideration (even if there is no agreement in the end).American liberals DEFINITIVELY have a more realistic view of race relations in this country than moderates or conservatives.
Who sounds like a red state redneck now?Period. End of fucking story.
Correct - it's the media doing what they do best - making news (which means making money).This isn't liberals co-opting a tragedy.
Diemen,
There are already some conflicting eyewitness reports. A Witness Conversation Unknowingly Captured at the Scene of the Ferguson Shooting is a Game-Changer
Just as your are skeptical of the police versions, I am skeptical of those that want to paint the police (and white people) in the worst possible light any chance they get. In the interviews with the citizens of Ferguson, there is an obvious "Us vs Them" feeling.
Also - I am truly waiting for the forensics to come to form a final conclusion. I want to see if the officer was assaulted in his vehicle and to what degree. I want to know if Michael was in the front seat of the squad car. I want to know how many shots were fired and where they hit.
If Michael did punch the officer (which is astoundingly stupid), fought him for the gun, ran away, and then charged the officer while the officer had the gun pointed at him - then I would think the officer was justified in shooting him. If it turns out the officer simply took out his weapon and shot Michael in broad daylight in the middle of the road for no reason (and by doing so - completely erasing an otherwise stellar career and reputation), then the officer is guilty of murder.

Curious - if the forensic evidence points out that Michael Brown DID punch Darren Wilson in the face and DID rush toward the officer after being ordered to freeze - would that change your mind about this incident?
