The Ferguson, Missouri thread

[zoobernut]

that's a good idea and all but they should probably just drop the matter altogether. you shoot someone's kid, justified or not, and you should probably just leave them the fuck alone.

It is a good idea. Maybe the Cleveland Police Union should put their money where their mouth is and put out the add campaign themselves.

Cleveland police union president wants the Rice family to spend the settlement on instructing kids on the danger of playing with toy guns.

Remember those girls who said they were assaulted on a bus in NY by a group of whites? And there were hashtags and outpourings of support and condemnation of the attackers and so on and so forth.


Yeah, about that...

"N.Y. college students accused of fabricating racially motivated attack"


but wait! there's more!


'University police said an investigation revealed that no one used racial epithets against the women. Instead, they assaulted another passenger and falsely reported the incident.
"What happened on the bus was not a 'hate crime,'" University Police Chief Frank Wiley said in February. "The only person we heard uttering racial epithets was one of the defendants."'

Baltimore prosecutors have dropped all charges against the remaining officers set to go to trial for the Freddie Gray murder after they have failed to stick any charges against the first 4.

[Salodin]

I can't believe they couldn't get a single charge to stick. Like, not even negligence, and the dude was in their custody! They, legally, didn't do a single thing wrong, even though some one died? Cmonnnn

Who?

[Melena]

He was one of the bigger activists in Ferguson and was all over twitter. Great guy who self proclaims he lives in AmeriKKKa

[Dimmauk]

Seals wasn't the first person recently to be found shot to death in a burning car in that area. Something is afoot

Darren Seals tweeted a few months ago.

@LegendaryQueen8 yea 10 detectives pulled me and my 14 year old brother over, pointed guns on us, and told me "choose your enemies wisely"

New court papers reveal that Brown never tried to take the officer’s gun, never struck the officer and did not initiate any contact with Wilson, who was cleared of wrongdoing by a secret grand jury in November 2014.

[zoobernut]

Wait how did they decide to clear the officer of any wrong doing again?

Secret grand jury. Think that means he can still go to trial

[Karbuncle]

it makes it difficult to read that article when it brings up that documentary like it's not a discredited mess of shady edits to spin a narrative.

[Ragnus]

So the documentary has been out for less than a week, but it's already been debunked as TMZ style context altering of video? Seriously?

So the context of what happened in the convenience store changes from robbery involving the cigarillos, to a drug deal where the cigarillos were part of the payment. It still doesn't change the court dockets where Wilson pretty much admitted that he used excessive force and escalated the situation.

So the documentary has been out for less than a week, but it's already been debunked as TMZ style context altering of video? Seriously?

How about they released the already unedited full video showing the entire situation which you can glean for yourself. So yes it's almost like the full context of the video discredits the narrative weaving edit of some hack documentarian trying to get publicly for his documentary by exploiting circumstance of a highly controversial case

still doesn't change the court dockets where Wilson pretty much admitted that he used excessive force and escalated the situation.

I said it was a difficult to read article because it brings up an edited video under the claims it blew the lid off the case. It was sensationalist crap. I still read it all... just don't have to like how it's presented. Apologies. I was actually arguing wiith myself to edit that to be clearer as well but didn't and I should have.

But it baffles me if true that they wouldn't think this would blow the fuck up once released, i really don't look forward to more riots over this.

[carlweathers]

I don't like the style of the documentary style of the article. It cherry picks stuff and makes assumptions without considering the other answered interrogatives.

"the document goes on to show that—instead of reaching for his pepper spray, baton or Taser—Wilson pulled out his gun and admits to shooting Brown, even though Brown had not reached for his weapon or struck him."

The document says he didn't have a baton or a taser.

". Wilson admits that after the first shot, Brown started running away from him and he fired another shot, which missed Brown. Wilson basically admits that he fired at Brown and the bullet hit a building close by."

I dont see that, im looking at answers 67 and 68
