Snip never noticed new page [editline]21st August 2014[/editline] Actually it's still on topic that Facebook pic of the "police chief's wife" has been confirmed as fake, it's a troll account
[QUOTE=Subby;45753311]He can beat the shit out of a cop? and he doesn't deserve to be shot? Also, nice stereotyping, quite ironic isn't it? [editline]21st August 2014[/editline] A disproportionate amount of black people are in prison too, All innocent?[/QUOTE] So you really think the conviction rates for blacks being so high is because of what? Them being black? They aren't treated equally.
[QUOTE=Explosions;45752838]People playing detective is one of my most hated pet peeves. It's extremely annoying reading or hearing the theories people developed with 10 minutes of internet self education based on secondhand knowledge of reports of reports with no access to any of the actual evidence and no way to properly study it even if they did. It's incredibly difficult to discover and make sense of the truth even under the best of conditions when you're a detective or scientist who's trained to do these things with lots of resources at your disposal and all of the possible evidence. It would be like me reading a Wikipedia article and then trying to discredit Stephen Hawking's writings using the most dubious proofs possible.[/QUOTE] Just like what happened after the Boston Bombings where the internet "found" the people that did it, which turned out to be wrong, causing innocent people to be targeted.

Why are people still saying he was shot in the back? The autopsy is out. He wasn't shot in the back.
[QUOTE=Silly Sil;45754729]Why are people still saying he was shot in the back? The autopsy is out. He wasn't shot in the back.[/QUOTE] Because right-wing bloggers.
By the way, how often do you get proper riots with a decent amount of people rioting in the US? I remember we had some quite large riots in Copenhagen because of the removal of a youth center and the G8 meetings, but the police prepared for it and actually handled it quite well, with few weapons involved, since they used a lot of specialty riot gear and nonlethal weapons in the right way. I don't know if it's because all kinds of firearms are simply more commonplace in the US, so that the officers bringing firearms do it because they are scared of their lives. In Europe, dedicated riot police would not bring firearms with them, they would at most have back up units behind the lines just in case.
[QUOTE=Silly Sil;45754729]Why are people still saying he was shot in the back? The autopsy is out. He wasn't shot in the back.[/QUOTE] I brought this up last page only because of witness testimony. They said they thought Brown had been hit while attempting to run from Wilson. Whether or not the bullet actually struck him, witness testimony says that Wilson fired while Brown was running. More importantly, when Brown turned around and put his hands up, the witnesses say Wilson never stopped firing. All named eyewitnesses who were at the scene say Brown was surrendering when he was killed. Only Wilson and an anonymous radio caller claim Brown charged at Wilson.

That's misinformation. And witness testimony can be wrong, especially if you have a heated us-vs-cops situation and people are eager to take sides. Lets stick to the facts we have now and wait for more.
