Ferguson Follow-Up: “Any Felony Rule,” Velvet Gloves for the Iron Fist

[Danke]

Right, so the initial contact could not have been related to the robbery.

Cop stops Brown and Johnson.

Cop gives them lip.

They give it back.

Cop stops and throws door open.

Brown figures, "Oh shit, I'm busted."

Slams door of cop car back on Wilson who draws and fires one shot.

Brown attempts to haul ass, but can't because his pants are around his knees.

Brown makes about ten yards.

Wilson shoots, however many times, and kills him.

You weren't there, I wasn't there. So you are just speculating.

No recording. So no one really knows.

But we have a cop with a busied face, how did that happen?

Post this crap at Daily Kos or Democratic Underground.

The Young Turks propaganda doesn't belong here.

You and Zippy get a room.

You're not down with the struggle Danke? You don't want to see social justice served?

Did this place suddenly turn into freerepublic.com? There's nothing even slightly objectionable about the TYT content.

He's just pissed because I won't pay for his rehab stint.

No, they both slam and misrepresent liberty candidates like Ron Paul and his son. Get a clue.

Here it is:

It should be interesting to see what the toxicology reports reveal in 4 weeks.

Marijuana. Possibly some pills.

It'd be more interesting to see the autopsy report. That's been completed, right?

Curious it hasn't vindicated the officer yet.

Did you miss their glowing praise for Rand Paul's TIME essay?

I never said that. I said that people have passed the buck instead of doing their job. If you expect teachers and police to teach and discipline your children, you're delusional. That's where we are as a society.

Interesting because you advocate people taking more responsibility "for each other". In my world I am responsible for myself and my children until they are adults and then they are responsible for their own actions. I am not responsible for what an other adult chooses to do. The police get paid supposed to protect and serve and yet treat the community like a sandbox and walk around like the playground bully. Teachers are responsible as surrogate parents because parents abdicate their responsibilities when they are under the guidance of a teacher. It is people not wanting to be responsible for what choices they make in careers be it parents, teachers, or police and the duties involved in such a career path. Seems as though you think the blame should be lumped completely on parents whilst wringing your hands about the poor government agents. You speak out both sides of your mouth...

Based on the recount of what happened from a family friend. This is what allegedly happened:

Cop sees Brown and Johnson in middle of road. He tells them to move to side so he can pass. As he's passing they curse at him under their breath. Cop keeps going but puzzled by reaction. Pulls up ahead to side of the road monitoring them. Not soon after a call comes in from dispatch with info from the convenience store robbery. Cop sees that Johnson is carrying the cigars and clothing matches. Reverses course and drama ensues.

So now we have a cop going to the store, interviewing at least two witnesses, cueing up and watching at least three videos, writing his report and getting it called in in seven minutes flat.

Still rather miraculous.

I'm thinking the kid wanted to get out of there and the only way was through the cop. Fight or flight response. And being a man mountain with a likely history of physical conquests, he probably thought he would overpower the cop since the cop would be too frightened to shoot him in a black neighborhood.

He figured he was fat enough to bum rush an armed man from over thirty-five feet away after retreating over thirty-five feet?

But you're not reaching at all, right?

Thank you, though, for admitting that the official version of events is too silly to defend.
