Images: A Bunch Of White People Protesting In Support Of Cop Who Shot Michael Brown Dead
Supporters of the police officer who shot an unarmed black teenager dead in Ferguson, Missouri last weekend gathered to show solidarity on Sunday for the officer who pulled the trigger multiple times.
Warning: This will be the most idiotic thing you’ve read about all day.
Jon Swaine of The Guardian has been tweeting images of the protest.
[su_center_ad]According to The Guardian, approximately 125 people rallied in downtown St Louis, which is only 12 miles southeast of Ferguson, where 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot repeatedly by Darren Wilson last Saturday afternoon.

124 of the protesters were white. One sole black man joined them. He just had to be that guy.

“He was doing his job,” 57-year-old Kaycee Reinisch said. “And now because of public uproar in Ferguson, he is being victimised. He is being victimised by the whole city, the state and the federal government.”
“We will be the example of what peaceful means,” the organizers of the vent told attendees in an online message before meeting for the rally. “No offensive signs, we are for support,” they said. “If the other side should show, we will not argue or fight.”
The Guardian reports:
While the crowds protesting in Ferguson have been predominantly African American, all but one of the demonstrators showing their support for Wilson were white. A stack of dark blue t-shirts, onsale for $7 and bearing a police-style badge stating: “Officer Darren Wilson – I stand by you”, quickly sold out.
One was bought by Martin Baker, a consultant and former Republican congressional primary candidate and the only black member of the crowd. “People are too quick to play the race card,” said Baker, 44, on widespread claims by black residents Ferguson residents that they are subjected to institutional racism by the city’s almost unanimously white authorities. “Lawlessness knows no colour.”…
The demonstration grew out of a Facebook group dedicated to the support of Wilson, 28, who has been placed on paid leave and is in hiding for security. The group was created soon after his name was released to the public last Friday. By the time the demonstration began on Sunday, the group had attracted more than 12,500 “likes”.
“There is a great deal of support in the St Louis community, nationally, and internationally for officer Darren Wilson,” one of the organisers, who asked to be referred to as E M Baker, said in an email to the Guardian earlier on Sunday.
” We fully support officer Darren Wilson,” she said. “Our rally today is exclusively an opportunity for us to gather in ‘silence’ in a sea of blue to show officer Wilson, his family, the law enforcement community, and the world, that our support is strong and unwavering.”
To explain why the officer shot Brown down, Jennifer Hall wrote, “An officer doesn’t have xray vision. He can’t tell if you have weapon or not until searched. So you act in a suspicious manner, we know what the consequences are.”
Wait. So if I’m in a stand your ground state, such as Missouri and I can’t see what’s in Jennifer’s hands, then I could just shoot her dead? Aside from the fact, that Michael Brown’s hands were in the air.
Others – none, apparently, from Ferguson – complained about the charges of police racism in a city where 50 of the 53 police officers are white, while the population is roughly two-thirds black. Figures compiled by the Missouri attorney general show that black residents are stopped and searched disproportionately by the police.
“Ferguson will now be forced to hire 10 African American police officers just because of this terrible ordeal,” said Damon Andersen of Imperial City, Missouri. “Let the black officers see how difficult it is to try and deal with the black criminals on the beat they are patrolling.”
(my bold because, damn)
Ferguson should hire black police officers because everyone in the city should be represented equally. It’s a lot better than shooting people down all willy nilly. Anyone willing to take a bet that these same people supported George Zimmerman?
The saddest tweet of them all:

KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker August 17th, 2014 at 9:30 pm
There are no answers as to the details of Michael Brown’s murder, yet these people have chosen to support the shooter/killer. There have been no reports, no autopsy….nothing!
For some reason, these protestors aren’t being threatened by militarised swat teams and tear gassed. Curious?
Hirightnow August 17th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
Color me confused, as well…
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 9:39 pm
I sent this to Anomaly earlier. It is a twitter rant on the timeline and the racism behind this kid’s killing. It is very telling if you have a few moments to spare.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
They are not being gassed because they are not looting and rioting. Simple as that. Had the crowds protested peacefully, there would have been no gas. If you think otherwise, you are not looking at this event objectively.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 9:43 pm
A majority of the protests have been peaceful. It’s just a few bad apples who have tried to take advantage of the situation by looting, and some of the protesters have taken the liberty of trying to stop the looting, and yet they still get tear gassed.
KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker August 17th, 2014 at 9:45 pm
Correct, and the press has been tear gassed as well.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 9:45 pm
There is no way to pinpoint gas. Sorry. What else do you suppose the police do to control the “bad apples?” Let them run wild?
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 9:47 pm
They have these things called tasers and mace, why not use those instead?
KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker August 17th, 2014 at 9:48 pm
Perhaps if the police stopped murdering innocent unarmed citizens and withholding evidence and information we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 9:53 pm
Now you sound like the right wing extremist folks with your police hating statement. Remember the couple in Nevada? There are way more great police than there are bad ones.
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 9:57 pm
Except the Ferguson police department has a history of racism. About Nevada: White Bundy ranch militia members aimed rifles at the feds and they came out of it just fine. In fact, they were heralded by Republicans as heroes.
But a teenager shoplifts and is shot dead by the police and that’s acceptable to you.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:02 pm
No. Not acceptable at all. But for someone to make a blanket statement about police murdering people like it happens all of the time has the tones of conspiracy theory nuts. And to suggest that Michael Brown did everything right that day is disingenuous.
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 10:07 pm
It doesn’t matter what Michael Brown did wrong if *his hands were in the air.* The cops aren’t supposed to be judge, jury and executioner.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:09 pm
I agree 100% that if his hands were in the air he should not have been shot. But there are other reports that he charged at the police.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:13 pm
But there are other reports that he charged at the police
If you’re referring to the call to Dana Loesch’s show from a “friend” of Officer Wilson, that is hearsay and inadmissible in court.
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 10:16 pm
According to eyewitnesses, he did not charge the officer.To add to that, the cop didn’t just shoot him once. He shot him repeatedly. They do that when they want to be sure a person is dead.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:26 pm
And if that is how it all went down, the cop should be charged for murder. Case closed.
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 10:16 pm
It’s exactly that kind of deliberation sans facts that has us living among those who would color this event. :'(
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 10:20 pm
His thinking is skewed because he assumes we’re arguing that Mike Brown was a great guy. I didn’t know him. I didn’t know Trayvon. But we could have met one day if they weren’t recklessly shot down.
We’ll never know if Mike was a great guy or not because he was killed.
MarcoZandrini August 17th, 2014 at 9:50 pm
So, there’s no way to pinpoint gas. Is that an excuse for teargasing innocent protesters and the press? I think not.
Red Eye Robot August 17th, 2014 at 9:38 pm
Meanwhile, Protesters opposed to the police were shooting each other last night
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 9:39 pm
I love that ESP thingy you’ve got going on. No one knows who shot the man, or even what his name is.
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 9:43 pm
Hyperbole much? There was one person shot, no one knows who did the shooting or who was shot. I love how you made this an event committed by a sum of more than one person while ignoring most of what that shooting (<—singular) entailed.
Red Eye Robot August 17th, 2014 at 9:59 pm
It doesn’t count because it was just one person? Michael Brown was just one person. Do we excuse the cop? We know the police didn’t shoot that guy last night. So who else could it be? The protesters and leftist agitators have portrayed the actions of one officer as black genocide and have been looting and burning Ferguson.Last nights shooting is showing what these protesters could care less about what happened to Brown.
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 10:06 pm
Oh please, you said Protesters opposed to the police were shooting each other last night, is that not plural and hyperbole? I won’t play semantics. “Leftist agitators”? Unlike fully armored militarized police? Unlike the white dude who claimed soverieng citizen status, then holed un up after setting trash bins ablaze, then shooting at the police who arrived, only to give up after a SWAT team came. And all of that without law enforcement shooting back at this guy once. Yet it is what you say it is, though the kid was unarmed and hands raised.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:26 pm
Please show me any facts saying his hands where raised. Oh you don’t have any just his criminal friends word to go by? Well there is a nice video tape, where a witness says he attacked the cop, then ran at the cop again. Your evidence is hearsay mine is fact. I win moron.
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 10:27 pm
4 witnesses said he had his hands raised and was shot, none of the witnesses know each and their depictions are are corroborated.
I win moron
I like your sig.
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 10:29 pm
Dollars to donuts this guy was a George Zimmerman supporter, too.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:33 pm
Actually, I believe Zimmerman should have got charged with man slaughter, and if they would have he would have been convicted. Unfortunately the DA listened to race baiting morons like yourself, and tried for first degree murder which can’t be proven because you have to prove premeditation. But, hey nice try.
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 11:34 pm
Look, you can call me a moron all day long. I shrug that bullshit off like water rolling down my back.
But if you treat our readers with that sort of disrespect, you will not be welcome here.
james.mike August 18th, 2014 at 1:40 pm
Hey, what about that autopsy today proven all 4 witnesses lied. Not only was he not shot one time in the back, but where he was shot in the arm, it would be impossible if his hands were up. But hey facts right, who needs them.
Red Eye Robot August 17th, 2014 at 10:47 pm
Protesters, 1 shooter + 1 victim = 2 people Plural. That’s ignoring previous nights when protesters shot at police and a police helicopter. You guys don’t like the militarized police? You sure liked them at bundy ranch.They were really militarized, Uparmored Humvees with twin belt fed full auto SAW 249 machine guns on top. agents in body armor with m-16 rifles wearing ammo vests with half a dozen 30 round magazines.You guys loved that. I don’t know how you can describe Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson & the new black panther party as anything other than agitators. feeding the peoples anger and hustling for donations. Don’t worry though, there will be more protester on protester violence before this is over. It’s not about brown, it never was.
Doug Adams August 17th, 2014 at 9:39 pm
Very good, well put together “Anomaly100” you have talent as a writer, good for you. Peace
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
These are the same kinds of people who would be pulling out the firehoses on MLK Jr. and the Freedom Riders during the march for Civil Rights. I wasn’t alive during that period, but the fact that I’m making comparisons to that time period in 2014 is just plain sad.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:23 pm
You’re right, it is sad. It shows how stupid you are, comparing MLK Jr to some thug, who attacked a store clerk, then attacked a cop.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:24 pm
to some thug, who attacked a store clerk, then attacked a cop.
Which is a conclusion that you right wingers have drawn, and are falling for the character assassination which was the reason for that video being released.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:31 pm
You guys are portraying this cop as a racist bent on killing a young black kid and that’s okay, but we can’t show anything negative about the thug, who robbed some one then attacked a cop? Yes, you sir are a true Liberal.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:32 pm
we can’t show anything negative about the thug, who robbed some one then attacked a cop?
In which you further prove my point. The video is irrelevant to the incident in which Brown was shot, and the police chief even said as such. Brown and his friend were stopped for “blocking traffic,” and Officer Wilson was unaware Brown was a suspect.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:34 pm
Yet, the fact he attacked the cop and tried to take his gun, and then rushed the cop( evidence in the video I posted) is relevant.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:36 pm
and then rushed the cop( evidence in the video I posted)
A video on a right wing site. That just reeks of James O’Keefe and ACORN.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:37 pm
So because it was posted on a right wing site, it can’t be used as evidence, even if it’s proven 100% true? You sir have a problem, it’s called ignorance you should try to fix that.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:38 pm
So because it was posted on a right wing site, it can’t be used as evidence
It’s what is called “hearsay,” inadmissible in court.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:42 pm
Hearsay, you mean like all the other witnesses? Oh wait, none of them would have a reason to lie huh? Just like Trayvon Martin’s best friend had no reason to lie, even though they proved she did eventually.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:44 pm
And you want to believe that the police would never lie. That all cops are perfect and above reproach and being held to a much higher standard of the laws they swear to uphold.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:47 pm
Actually, I hate cops and am part of Cop block in my home town. But, unlike Liberal liars I will defend then when they are justified. You people seem to think black people can do whatever they want and if some one defends themselves they are the bad guys. That’s why your president wanted that tape with held, that’s why Eric Holder is trying to have the one I posted with held. Because it’s easier to get people who can’t think for themselves to fall in line with lies, then to stand on their own with facts.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:55 pm
You want me to suck up to corrupt cops against “those people.” As a member of said “those people,” no thanks.
whatthe46 August 18th, 2014 at 4:10 am

And yet, that’s not a “fact.”
greenfloyd August 18th, 2014 at 3:13 am
Sad, yes. Although totally predictable given the similar social and economic conditions for most black people, then and now. The on-going Civil Rights Movement needs someone like MLK Jr, like Barack Obama, to lay the next milestone in the Freedom Riders’ journey. I’d put it like one of Obama’s admired predecessors did, “Mr. President, tear down those prison walls!”
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 9:50 pm
So does anyone think that Michael Brown is at all responsible for what happened that day?
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 9:51 pm
He was only responsible for JWB: Jaywalking While Black.
james August 17th, 2014 at 11:00 pm
Bull, he robbed a freaken store and attacked someone….Spin it any way you desire, but he was a thug.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 11:01 pm

Says the racist who is buying into the character assassination spin from the release of the video.
KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker August 17th, 2014 at 9:51 pm
Do you mean the day he was murdered in cold blood?
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 9:56 pm
We don’t know all the facts. But we do know that he robbed a store and was violent with the clerk. Then if the reports that he charged at the officer are true… Doesn’t sound like an innocent victim to me.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 9:59 pm
But we do know that he robbed a store and was violent with the clerk.
Which even the police chief has said is irrelevant, because Officer Wilson was not aware Brown was a suspect.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:06 pm
Ok. So Michael Brown did everything right that day. I’m not saying that the police officer acted 100% appropriately, but in the heat of the moment no one knows how they would react. And this is not a simple case of a police gunning down a totally innocent guy minding his own business.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:12 pm
And this is not a simple case of a police gunning down a totally innocent guy minding his own business.
Actually, that is indeed the case. The FPD aren’t disputing that Officer Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown. What is going on right now is character assassination thanks to the release of that “robbery” video, which was released against the wishes of Governor Nixon, the DOJ, and Brown’s family.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:21 pm
What about the release of the video were a witness is heard saying Brown attacked the cop, the cop then chased him, and only opened fire when Brown came at him again in an aggressive manner? Should that have been released? Oh that’s right, you won’t see that on some bull Liberal, lying website because it sheds a bad light on this thug. After all to Liberals facts don’t matter, only things they can use to incite riots, and racial tension to bolster their votes matter.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:24 pm
What about the release of the video were a witness is heard saying Brown
attacked the cop, the cop then chased him, and only opened fire when
Brown came at him again in an aggressive manner?
If you’re referring to the call on Dana Loesch’s show, that is hearsay and inadmissible in court, since said “witness” was not at the scene of the crime.

james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:29 pm
There you go, that’s called a witness stating what he saw, on tape. But, of course you won’t accept that huh, because it goes against what you want to be true.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:30 pm
Here is a rough transcript of the conversation that can be heard at 6:28 in the video. From the Conservative Treehouse :
No need to read any further.
james.mike August 17th, 2014 at 10:36 pm
Of course because you can’t listen to the tape and hear exactly what’s being said can you? Oh that’s right, it’s obvious the conservatives used NSA equipment and made this tape say what they wanted it to say huh?
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:37 pm
Nope, it’s on a right wing site and as I posted below, reeks of James O’Keefe and ACORN.
james.mike August 18th, 2014 at 1:37 pm
Hey, what about that autopsy that came out today that actually agrees with the video I posted. It states he didn’t have his hands up, that he wasn’t shot in the back, and that he could have been charging the cop. Should that been used?
james August 17th, 2014 at 10:59 pm
Amen, brother..Finally another person with a brain on here!
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:43 pm
Ok. You are obviously so hell bent on believing that every cop in America is determined to gun down black kids that you are unwilling to accept the fact that Michael Brown had some responsibility for what happened that day.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:46 pm
You are obviously so hell bent on believing that every cop in America is determined to gun down black kids
On the contrary. I have the utmost respect for law enforcement, but there is still police corruption going on. The choking incident in NY and now this incident in Ferguson involving Michael Brown being gunned down by Officer Wilson prove it. And let’s not ignore the profiling of brown people in Maricopa County in Arizona led by Sheriff Arpaio.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:53 pm
Corruption is not the right word. It’s incompetency. Unfortunately, it’s incompetency in a job that has the power to take lives. More reason to act appropriately when in the presence of law enforcement. Just like a waiter shouldn’t spit in your food if you send your order back, but it happens so I don’t send my food back.
james August 17th, 2014 at 10:58 pm
And there is the report from the cop that he was being punched in the face and Brown was going for the gun. If this is true then the shooting was justified. But liberal race bait folk love to judge before the whole situation has been investigated. It is typical of them. They say don’t judge us or what we do or think, but then they judge all who are opposed to them or their view. Further, they judge before all investigations are done. Just look at the whole mess from an objective stand point and you will see what I mean.
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 11:18 pm
You’re equivocating now. Why do you insist on conflating what Brown did at the store to the cop gunning him down. If you had read the timeline, you would have seen the cop who killed Brown knew nothing of the stolen cigars. Yet, you keep acting as if this cop knew he was some kind of wanton criminal. It is stereotyping, plain and simple.
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 10:00 pm
Here, read this twitter timeline, if you are truly a “rational thinker”. He was 35ft away from the police vehicle when shot and 4 witnesses who do not know each other, corroborated the same depiction of what happened.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:17 pm
Again, if he was shot with his hands up, standing still, the cop needs to be put on trial for murder. However, if it is found that he was charging at the cop, it is a totally different story. And if the cop did commit a murder, it still doesn’t excuse rioting and looting.
KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker August 17th, 2014 at 10:17 pm
Your airtight arguments have changed my mind and I have to concede that you are absolutely right. Michael Brown should have just been shot dead on the spot. After all he was black and might have shoplifted or done any number of things. We just don’t know what this 18 year old kid was up to. The policeman is a hero for killing him.
How’s that for a response…whackjob?
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:21 pm
Not what I am arguing at all. And you sound like the whack job with your inability to debate. Simply revert to name calling. I agree that if he had is hands up an was not charging the cop, the cop should be tried for murder. But it doesn’t excuse the rioting and looting of the crowds or the fact that Michael Brown was acting inappropriate that day.
NW10 August 17th, 2014 at 10:23 pm
But it doesn’t excuse the rioting and looting of the crowds or the fact that Michael Brown was acting inappropriate that day.
Anything to distract from the peaceful protests and to justify the hatred of “those people.”
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:32 pm
Not at all what I believe. I think peaceful protests are wonderful. But rioting and looting do seem to be an add on benefit during these things. Think back to the LA riots. In between those two events, what other rioting and looting has been done in the name of protesting injustice?
james August 17th, 2014 at 10:55 pm
How do u feel about Polar bear hunting? The media is quiet on the attacks of black on white which is far more then any vice/versus.
Foundryman August 17th, 2014 at 10:41 pm
It doesn’t matter if he acted like a 18 year idiot that day….he did nothing to warrant being gunned down in the street. The rioting and looting is an unfortunate reaction to the over reaction wrought on what began as a peaceful protest, from an overbearing police force.
If you or others cannot or will not recognize the inherit and long standing oppression “those people” are subjected to by this police force, it is little wonder you cannot understand that an innocent kid, gunned down just may spark an initial violent reaction.
rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:46 pm
But yet the thousands of black on black murders cannot spark one tenth of the outrage that this event did. That is the real sadness for the future of the black community.
Foundryman August 17th, 2014 at 11:06 pm
Black on black crime is a straw man argument that has no relevance to police brutality or overreach which is what this case is about. I’m sure blacks are as outraged about street crime as any white person is.
whatthe46 August 17th, 2014 at 11:44 pm
brown acting “inappropriate” that day is not an excuse to murder. heII if that were the case, we’d see cops shooting people outside of walmart everyday! and as far as the rioting, walk in their shoes. i don’t condone it, but i understand it.
NMAXXS August 18th, 2014 at 5:42 am
Ahhh, you’re changing the subject.
What does the subsequent actions of others have to do with “the facts” you await?

Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 10:30 pm
It escapes you that he was acquitted of his crime by a jury, no matter how I think what a POS he is. Does the fact that people like you have already judged Michael Brown already because of hearsay that cannot be backed up with facts? If the roles were reversed, would you feel the same way?
J_W_C_NM August 17th, 2014 at 10:34 pm
Not surprisingly, you missed the point. OJ got away with murder and the black community celebrated. They didn’t celebrate justice, but the denial of justice.
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 11:12 pm
A jury disagreed with you. When Zimmeramn was acquitted, was justice served?
J_W_C_NM August 17th, 2014 at 11:44 pm
Zimmerman should never had been charged. If Martin was lying on his back, and Zimmy was smashing Martin’s head into the concrete, and Martin shot Zimmy, would that have been self-defense?
whatthe46 August 17th, 2014 at 11:47 pm
considering zimm followed him in the dark while its raining. who does that? who sees someone walking and decides to follow in the rain no less. someone you don’t even know? TOO BAD he didn’t have a gun. you know darn well if it were you and a black male was following you in the dark in the rain, you’d try and protect yourself and you too would be afraid. and especially if you’re a teen. if you don’t see that logic, then its not logic you approve of. its outright ignorance. ignorance is a choice. stay that way.
J_W_C_NM August 17th, 2014 at 11:49 pm
So you don’t mind the killing as long as its a politically correct victim.

rational_thinking_one August 17th, 2014 at 10:34 pm
So you were ok with the Rodney King verdict as well then? A jury spoke yet people didn’t like it and rioted and looted and murder innocent victims in their rage for justice.
Tommy6860 August 17th, 2014 at 10:36 pm
The actions of what those idiots did rioting has nothing to do with how the cops brutalized a man. False equivalency there.
james August 17th, 2014 at 10:51 pm
Exactly, there is a lot of racial hatred in the black community not that we white’s are innocent either. However, the hate has increased. Just punch in polar bear hunting and you will see all sorts of stories being hidden by the mainstream media….Yet we dont see whitey out demanding justice for all our murdered victims.
whatthe46 August 17th, 2014 at 11:09 pm
in oj case there was no video or witnesses. in rodney’s case there was ample enough evidence of wrong doing. people always say, there’s no evidence of anything, yet even in the face of it, in color, from begining to the end, he was aquitted by an all white jury. none is so blind as those who will not see. of course everyone was angry. you have this case where there are eye witness accounts and the police are doing their best to cover it up. of course people are upset.
whatthe46 August 17th, 2014 at 11:40 pm
furthermore, not that i need to say this to you, but oj is guilty of murder in my opinion. and KARMA caught up to him, just like it will in zimm’s life and this cop.
John Tarter August 17th, 2014 at 11:23 pm
All the rioting and looting is not for justice, it’s a chance to get some free stuff. Look, granddaddy got some free stuff during the 1967 and 1968 riots, now it’s their turn
Foundryman August 17th, 2014 at 11:58 pm
I thought voting for Obama was all about getting free stuff!! Now you’re saying they have to riot to get it? That just doesn’t seem fair, especially when they have to wait for a white cop to murder a kid.
Carla Akins August 18th, 2014 at 5:10 am
No one here says the looting and rioting are correct, its also being done by a handful of people, not the thousands protesting. Like it or not – protest is American as cherry pie and protected by the very 1st amendment for a reason. It’s that important. Don’t confuse the bad acts of a few with the intent of the rest.
whatthe46 August 17th, 2014 at 11:06 pm
thank you.
whatthe46 August 17th, 2014 at 11:05 pm
first of all, oj was arrested and tried. secondly, he was found responsible in a civil suit. that’s a lot more than anyone can say for brown. besides that, what would this “cop” reason be for arresting a jay walker? none. he was profiled, judged, convicted and sentenced to death. better to just murder him and claim justifiable later.
james August 17th, 2014 at 10:48 pm
Well at least when we right wingers protest there is no need for rape tents or people pooping on cop cars as in the case of left wing occupy wall street bunch. Also, speaking as one of Jewish extract I have never been called anti Jewish names by the average right winger, but have been called plenty of names by leftist. Amazing huh….

The 10,000+ year long OWS protests all across the USA & Earth proved to be far more peaceful and more crime-free than those city populations as a whole. In NYC’s OWS Zucotti Park we had a felon fleeing arrest who tried to hide and was arrested.
Did faux news ever accurately report the Tea Party criminals who were turned in to NYPD for their crimes by OWS? No! Many TP tried to slime the well policed protesters who were under 24/7 Police surveillance.There was rarely a word of truth from GOP TV during the entire 1 year+ 10,000 global protests!
jasperjava August 18th, 2014 at 3:29 am
No real Jewish person would call themselves “one of Jewish extract”. It’s a bizarre phrase that only an anti-Semite would use.
Obewon August 17th, 2014 at 11:02 pm
These are shooter Darren Wilson’s Klansman fundraisers including a failed GOP candidate defending the murder of an unarmed teen posing no threat with both hands raised in the air!
There’s always a nut like Allen West in the 95% white Tea Klux Klan: Martin Baker, a consultant and former Republican congressional primary candidate and the only black member of the crowd.
james.mike August 18th, 2014 at 1:46 pm
Except now the autopsy proved he didn’t have his hands up, and that he was most likely charging at the cop. So much for that posing no threat thing huh.
ChrisVosburg August 18th, 2014 at 2:47 pm
Bullshit. The autopsy proves no such thing, and Michael Baden makes no such claim.
You might want to try the simple experiment of facing a mirror and raising your hands in the air in the universal gesture of surrender. Which part of your arms do you see in the mirror? Now go look at the autopsy diagram of where the bullets entered.
There ya go, sonny.
whatthe46 August 18th, 2014 at 3:29 pm
you skipped over some of the words which isn’t a surprise. HIS HANDS WERE “EITHER” RAISED WHEN HE RECEIVED THE SHOT TO THE ARM OR (now here’s the part you need to pay attention to) HE WAS SHOT (SHOT!) while his back was turned. either senerio is not in the murdering cops favor. you J.A. and your fantasies are halirious. CHARGING?
whatthe46 August 17th, 2014 at 11:13 pm
at james: i don’t see white out there demanding justice when white men are raping children yet, are released from prison on a daily basis only to be given a title of level 3 offender with the option of reoffending again. you won’t need an uproar if a non-white murders a white person because you can best believe that person will be arrested and convicted. how many black police officers that you are aware of that mudered an unarmed white male and the police covered it up? and if you find one, why didn’t you protest against the police for that cover up?
chris August 18th, 2014 at 6:22 am
I don’t see blacks demand justice when is black on black crime.
whatthe46 August 18th, 2014 at 3:26 pm
news flash. when a black person commits a crime against another black person, the suspects are sought out and arrested and often convicted. why would there be a protest to demand justice when its being sought in every case? do you not read the news? you know damn well your statement is b.s. now, answer the damn question posed in the first place?

The only question I have is why are the Feds inserting themselves so forcefully in a local matter? I mean really, doesn’t Holder have enough to do in investigating those crimes done by those IRS agents like Lois Lerner?
J_W_C_NM August 17th, 2014 at 11:29 pm
Maybe the IRS hard drives are in Ferguson.

Shouldn’t Issa have an investigation about that?
greenfloyd August 18th, 2014 at 1:52 am
Only one question!? Okay, I am going to hold you to that.
I think most people realize this case has national implications. And I assume it legally meets a set criteria for a federal civil rights investigation. Civil Rights laws trump the IRS, IMHO.
fancypants August 18th, 2014 at 3:29 am
The feds must have been called after a 3rd autopsy was requested. Gee do you think there could be a cover up going on here ?
R.J. Carter August 18th, 2014 at 10:05 am
You mean do I think the feds are trying to cover up the findings of the first two autopsies? Holder’s not that kind of fed, right?
fancypants August 19th, 2014 at 1:57 am
I find it hard to believe dr. baden is covering anything up So far he has told it the way it happened and I have yet to question any of his past conclusions. BTW dr. baden has not concluded on his exam yet he is still waiting to see xrays and toxicology reports.
R.J. Carter August 19th, 2014 at 9:28 am
I doubt Baden is covering anything. My jape was at the third autopsy to be conducted by the Feds.
fancypants August 21st, 2014 at 4:35 pm
even if that was true ? any jury would side with 2 out of 3 autopsy agreements
ChrisVosburg August 18th, 2014 at 2:36 pm
Whoa! An autopsy was conducted by the county coroner, which I don’t believe has been released, and this was followed by a second autopsy conducted independently at the request of the victim’s parents by Michael M. Baden, the famed former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, and that was released to the public.
An autopsy is planned by the DOJ (that’d be the third of three) as part of its own investigation of the matter.
fancypants August 19th, 2014 at 1:53 am
you have it backwards
1) first autopsy was done by the county coroner
2) the second was done by dr. baden ( waiving his 10k fee )
3) is being done by a military coroner at the request of eric holder but needs the family to give permission ( still pending )
the 2nd was at the request of the families lawyer and all 3 are still awaiting x-rays and toxicology results witch might not be available for another couple days
ChrisVosburg August 18th, 2014 at 2:27 pm
Jeezus, John, are you still sulking over Lerner telling Darrell Issa to blow it out his ear? Just sad, man, just plain sad.
Incidentally, Holder directed the FBI to conduct a criminal probe into the IRS matter, and the FBI came up with bupkus, which surprised no one but guys like you (pictured below with the object of your tireless affection).
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 11:34 pm
Yes, yes I have!
greenfloyd August 18th, 2014 at 12:34 am
Big picture, both sides, cops and residents alike have legitimate reasons to protest. To me It’s more about what this event represents and the challenge to convey that in a way that transcends race, anger or fear.
The statistics are clear and a pattern has been well established, too many young black men, in proportion to all other groups, are being killed by cops, and each other.
The dynamics behind all this violence needs careful examination. Perhaps we can identify common characteristics between these fatal encounters, rather it be a “gang-related” drive-by or at the hands of law enforcement.
If you ask residents of places like Ferguson they’ll usually have two primary complaints: heavy-handed cops and local gangsters.
William August 19th, 2014 at 10:52 am
Thanks for your voice of reason. Shooting unarmed young men..wrong. destroying property pillaging and looting wrong.
There needs to be justice. First there needs to be answers. Violence is not the answer.

I’m glad you asked. Now the fractured eye socket is still unconfirmed……BUT I recall being struck by a motorcycle while I was directing traffic. The operator refused to follow my directions to stop. I was injured but guess what? I didn’t draw my weapon and shoot him 6 times.
Thanks for playing questions from the profoundly stupid.

A couple of months ago a 19yo white girl was killed by a cop after being dispersed from a loud party. The cop jumped on the
hood of her car and fired into the windshield. No rioting. No looting. No fake outrage as an excuse to rob, pilfer, and steal. Around the same time a cop in Texas unloaded his gun into a 70yo white man who reached for his cane. No rioting. No looting. Civilized people let the legal system address transgressions. Rioting, looting, and destroying other peoples property have
never advanced civilization. Check your affirmative action self-victimization at the door.
