Bedouin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 What!!? What a bunch of race baiting noobs, seriously. I haven't been following this case very closely but can't they get upset about something more important and more certain :/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggy Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 This is even more unbelievable... Just came out No one should be surprised that Darren Wilson was not indicted by the grand jury. Prosecutor Robert McCulloch played the role of Pontius Pilate, washing his and Darren Wilson’s hands of impunity, while the sacrifice, Michael Brown, was deemed worthy of death because in Wilson’s words “he look[ed] like a demon.” Wilson even uses the sacred instrument to complete his sacrifice to the god of American Whiteness: the gun. http://www.infowars.com/professor-says-mike-brown-sacrificed-to-racist-god/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leevan Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 People incorprate their observations into their perspectives, and adjust their actions accordingly. Wilson and everyone else act as they do toward black men because such reaction has been solicited via gangs, theft, violence etc. None of that is the result of the Wilsons of this world. Those factors create racists. The only way to solve the problems is to fix the individuals and their communities. When the black community is perceived better, it will be treated better. Blaming the white guy will not stop the next one from overreacting and killing the next black kid. *No offense is intended. I'm just trying to keep it real.

Ken Cotton Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I heard Brown was shot dead by a gang of police while volunteering at a local animal shelter in the middle of washing baby kittens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab21 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 what does a black community have to do with a guy that robbed a store and tried to kill a cop? i mean is hermann cain getting this same treatment? he is black. the perception of most blacks is that they are not criminals like the guy that robbed a store and tried to kill the cop. just like the perception that most whites arent criminals either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1-66ER Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm guessing it's an attempt by an ill-informed yet aspiring entrepreneur who has goals in the film industry, to "break out" and become "famous". I can't fault him for his industriousness, but his lack of perspective is mind-numbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanm Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Perhaps this is as historically "accurate" as many films, just without the budget and a radically smaller time span between historical events and dramatization? Lying about the past seems to be the bread and butter of many film makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirgall Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm trying to figure out how "snitches get stitches" will fit into the narrative. Doesn't feel very Judas-y. http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/11/ferguson-eye-witness-intimidation-chilling-details/ I4: Um, I’m, um, I have been, I’ve just been just kind of scared, just kind of scared.Especially, you know, with the interviews. I stopped doing the interviews, I stopped after I did one with [redacted]— [emphasis added--AFB] Ms: Okay. I4: –on a Friday. After that I felt sick, I started worrying. Mr. Why is that? I4: I don’t know, I just started something, like something may happen, you know. I started thinking about, wait a minute, I done did quite a few interviews and I don’t have a lawyer and why do everybody else have lawyers when they put out the very first interview, you know. I Googled my name and I seen a lot of stuff and I come across something, uh, that somebody put, I seen my picture, and it said like snitches get stitches, and then under it says something about people keep talking, they are going to get [redacted], you know, we are going to do something to you. [emphasis added--AFB] Mr.: What’s that? I4: I don’t know. It’s spelled [redacted]. You know, I’m not even sure what that is, but I’ve just been nervous and scared, and I have been letting everybody know about my time in and where I’m going and stuff like that.

J. D. Stembal Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I was listening to the audio and imagined him as Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny. He makes an important observation about the police and military, but gets the logical conclusion completely wrong. He says that cops that act like Darren Wilson should be in the military, not the police. What he fails to recognize is that the military was involved in Ferguson. The ultimate purpose of the military is not to protect the republic from foreign threats, but from threats that come from the domestic populace. His observations about the militarization of the police are correct, but his conclusion is based on not using all the information at his disposal (i.e. taxation is violence). You can apply the same logic to immigration policy. It's not there to prevent people from coming into the country. It's purpose is to keep them from leaving when the time comes.

shirgall Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 He makes an important observation about the police and military, but gets the logical conclusion completely wrong. Yeah, he should be taken with a grain of salt, but he *is* a retired prosecutor, iirc. He often comes across as biased toward the left to me (how's that for a soft judgement?). Most of the time he is pretty refreshing. In a previous video he states rather emphatically to never engage the police on their own turf, as I do, simply as a matter of survival. They are trained to eliminate violent threats. Never become perceived as a violent threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirgall Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Sigh. http://hotair.com/archives/2014/11/29/cnn-michael-brown-autopsy-expert-may-be-a-fraud/ CNN: Michael Brown autopsy “expert” may be a fraud Readers may not know Shawn Parcells’ name, but those who have followed the Michael Brown case know his work. Parcells worked with the Brown family and pathologist Michael Baden on a private autopsy, the results of which Parcells claimed demonstrated that Brown had been (a) shot in the back and (b) shot with his hands in the air in a position of surrender. Both claims were later discredited by the official autopsy and witness accounts to the grand jury that heard the case, but not before the claims made by Parcells on a number of news shows fueled protests and unrest across the nation. So who is “Professor” Shawn Parcells? He’s not a professor, he’s not a doctor, and he’s not qualified to work unassisted on autopsies either, as CNN discovered. In fact, his interference in another case allowed a murderer to go free, and the college at which he claims adjunct status says they never hired him in that capacity.

The jury could have asked anything it wanted, and the prosecutor went to them for a thorough investigation. What is clear is that the prosecutor didn't feel there was cause to indict. So what? What is fundamental is that this Lisa Bloom character doesn't think that a large person moving to take your weapon is a threat. But if someone thinks they can take the gun away from you, that should be good enough for you to believe they can, and you should act accordingly.

I think it is terribly convenient for the police and prosecutor to have a guy that has been doing autopsies on the sly without a licensed pathologist present to save cash-strapped counties money. When it comes time for someone to take the blame for what happened in Ferguson, here is your scapegoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
