Anonymous releases name of police officer who shot Mike Brown

[Origanalist]

You're acting ridiculous now. Ya know JK? Who said this guy should be dead? We still don't know what happened and the so-called star witness was revealed to be an accomplice.

Except there are other witnesses.

So strongarming three boxes of cigars equals getting gunned down in the street? But you're right, this changes things. The shitty part is there is no dash cam or other video and we may never get the real story. I guess the police department figured they needed military equipment more than dashcams.

Of course not. But you really wonder why more people don't weigh the potential pros and cons of their actions when they embark upon a questionable path. It's a domino effect.

Well... another proud moment for Anonymous. Wrong name. Idiots.

Anonymous does something for some 16-year-old in Ohio and they're suddenly heroes...

Like the police in this situation, who resort to greater violence for the consequences resulting from their initial act?

LOL A local station was just updating this, and the anchor wrapped up by saying, 'No word yet on whether formal charges will be brought against Officer Bryan--Darren Wilson...'

Did they immediately follow that with playing Good Vibrations?

Straight to commercial.

This particular station rebroadcasts these on a subsidiary channel. It'll be interesting to see if they made him do it over so they can memory hole that Freudian slip.

depends if this police officer thought his life was at risk grappling with what amounts to be a Division 1 size offensive guard. He wasn't exactly wrestling with Verne Troyeur.

When he was thirty-five feet away?

Any evidence he had a seventy foot wingspan?

Did this service pistol suddenly and unexpectedly go full auto? If so, why didn't the cop raise or lower the barrel?

And he engaged a guy that size by himself, why?

Because he knew he was ready to pull his gun BEFORE he showed up on the scene.

Otherwise "officer safety" protocols would have demanded backup. But no backup was needed if the intent was summary execution without credible witnesses.

guy in the store wearing different clothes than dead guy in the street?...any photo shop experts in here?

It's probably the same guy. His long-shorts dropped a bit from point A to point B, and the baseball cap is gone, but check the shoes and shirt and look again at the shorts, they're the same clothes.

Jay walking or shoplifting take your pick, he gets a suspect this big and decides he'd like to dance without back up? Why would he? What was there to gain from making such a choice and what was he standing to lose?

The video just broke.

Rumors that the officer was black? Is this like an episode of Twin Peaks?

thats odd.

really makes zero difference to me.

 

[thoughtomator]

Having seen the photos earlier, I would have no objection whatsoever if the shop owner shot Brown dead in order to protect his property.

When it comes to police enforcement in general, and specifically in this case, that justification (self-defense) is not transferable. Their job - and they are compensated by the public treasury, and far too well - is to enforce the law. No law allows for the shooting of a citizen on the street, even if he is the suspect in a crime, unless it is absolutely necessary to protect others' lives and property and the threat of imminent harm is actual.

When a cop shows up on a scene where there is no crime being committed and no warrant being served, it is absolutely unacceptable that any such situation should end in violence or death. Cops aren't allowed to cut the courts out of the decision making process. Where they do we are not living under Constitutional law.

No. The one in the shooting was white. Sgt. Darren Wilson is a member of the St. Louis City PD not Ferguson and is black.

Full video of encounter with no news overlay.

The idiots would be those who, without verifying the source,, took the word of an anonymous poster.

and also with those that withheld of the person responsible in the first place.
