wmw999 2,089 #1128 December 3, 2014 Under the rule of law is different from real life. If I were to (for example) shoplift, but not get caught, would I still have shoplifted? Would it still be a crime? How about if there's video? Michael Brown was also innocent under those rules of law.

Brown's actions might have precipitated them, but they came from Wilson's decisions based on Brown's actions. And Wilson's decisions have consequences as well, including the consequence of being second-guessed and analyzed. Especially since he's in an official capacity, and specifically held to the standards of his department (which include public scrutiny).

champu 1 #1136 December 3, 2014 rushmcNo Mr Brown is the one responcible for is current condition Actions have consequnses He robbed a store and attacked a police officer For those choices, he died According to what court? If the grand jury / DA deciding not to bring charges against Wilson means that he was innocent, then what does it mean that no grand jury ever convened over accusations of shoplifting and assault against Brown? The problem here is you're jumping back and forth between "the truth of what happened" which is often an elusive thing, and everyone's going to have their own version with details filled in by their imagination and "court proceedings" which are clear cut in terms of what they determine and what they do NOT determine. And get out of here with this "liberals and the seriousness of the charge" thing... are you really going to pretend that "indicted on the front page and acquitted on page six" isn't just a crappy thing humans do?

According to the grand jury who matched the pysical evidense with testimony The grand jury that convened over potential charges against Wilson delivered absolutely no conclusions, statements, nor remarks that could be considered findings of guilt, non-guilt, nor innocence of Brown. It can not be stated in less uncertain terms. The grand jury did not convene for that purpose and thus it is fundamentally impossible for them to have achieved that purpose.

I believe some cities have panels which include some citizens from the community that investigate police shootings I believe Alabama has protocols in place for an outside agency to investigate police shootings/beatings, especially if there are discrepancies between both sides. The Alabama Bureau of Investigations (ABI) AND the FBI are investigating two connected incidents involving Madison County deputies beating the hell out of a man a few weeks after one of them got up in his face in a bar thinking he'd been looking at his girlfriend and he popped the off-duty deputy in the face.

As soon as one of those panels doesn't find to your liking then you'll cry unfair or not good enough. We have a system of laws. The playbook was followed and the system worked.

normiss 615 #1146 December 3, 2014 The playbook needs adjusted. A cop should not be permitted to wash away evidence nor secure evidence into the case when he is the person being investigated. By his co-workers. Defended by friends of the force. Massaged presentation to the courts for charges. I'll be in the middle of the street for tomorrow's rocket launch. I sure hope Ofc.
