TO ALL LIBERALS, BLEEDING HEARTS AN LEFT LEANING FOLKS


THIS WHOLE INCIDENT IN FERGUSON COULD AN WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED HAD???

BROWN NOT STOLE FROM THE STORE

BROWN WAS NOT WALKING IN THE STREET

BROWN HAD DONE WHAT OFFICER WILSON ASKED HIM TO DO AN
MOVE TO THE SIDEWALK

' AND..... NOT ATTACK THE OFFICER.

IN MY DAYS AS A OFFICER I TRYED WITH ALL I HAD TO AVOID ANY TYPE INCIDENT WHERE I HAD TO DRAW MY WEAPON OR HAVE PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH ANY ONE.

THE INTERNAL INVESTIGATION IS ONE NO OFFICER WISHES TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH. THE I A IS NEUTRAL , BUT THEY WILL COME DOWN HARDER ON ONE OF THEIRS FOR A VIOLATION THAN ANY GRAND JURY
THERE IS NO WAY ANY ONE CAN SAY WHAT THEY WOULD DO IN ANY SITUATION. EVEN A WELL TRAINED LEO.
I WILL TELL U THIS. HAD I BEEN IN OFFICER WILSONS PLACE

I TEND TO THINK THE SAME WOULD HAVE HAPPEN. NO WAY AM I OR WOULD I HAVE HAD ANY ONE GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO ME TO TAKE MY WEAPON OR BEAT ON ME.
I ALSO DOUBT MANY OF YOU THAT FIND FAULT WITH WILSON WOULD ALLOW ANY ONE TO BEAT ON YOU IF U HAD A GUN.

OH WAIT. LIBS DONT BELIEVE IN CARRYING GUNS

HOW EVER U FEEL, BROWN WAS THE REASON THIS HAPPEN. HIS ACTIONS AN REACTIONS CREATED THE OUT COME. SPIN IT HOW EVER U CHOSE AN QUOTE ALL U LIKE.

LAW ABIDING CITIZENS SUFFERED. IF YOU CAN REMOVE YOUR ROSE COLORED GLASSES. SEE THE 15 BUSINESS THAT ARE BURNED OUT. LOSS OF JOBS FOR THE WORKERS THERE.

DID THAT BRING BACK BROWN, DID IT SERVE THE JUSTICE YOU AN THEY WANTED.

THEY ARE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. INNOCENT VICTIMS.

THE ROOT CAUSE HERE WAS AN IS MICHAEL BROWNS REFUSAL TO NOT BREAK THE LAW AN REFUSAL TO OBEY A OFFICER OF THE LAW.

YES OFFICER BROWN WILL HAVE A NICE THANKSGIVING.

AN I WILL ALSO

I HOPE EVERY ONE ELSE DOES AS WELL

I think that all of us ...those on the left, in the middle, and on the right can agree with the fact that the whole situation is a mess.

Seems to me Michael Brown WAS afforded due process under the laws governing apprehension of a suspect. And that was Officer Wilson's only duty.

GBU all,

Hi Sam: Good blog. Some people automatically think a victim is innocent until proven guilty, but what about the police officer, isn't he also innocent until proven guilty? If I was in the cop's position of being punched and shoved around and someone trying to take my gun, I would do what I had to do. No-one knows what that police officer went through in that car. Now the officer's career is probably over whichever way the Federal Investigation goes.

Is this case going to make all police officer's afraid to do their jobs?

Interesting comments on this blog. It's clear to me that someone has failed to read the information or maybe they just don't understand English. If they had a 289 pound, 6' 5" man under the influence of drugs charge them, not once but several times, I believe they would react as the police officer did. Any police officer is allowed to shoot to save his life or the life of others.

I suggest those of
you who believe that the officer acted inappropriately read the reports. They are available on-line.

For the one who continues to spew hatred and nonsensical rhetoric, I suggest you read it several times. At that time, I'm sure you will apologize for your anger and hateful comments towards others on this thread.

Hi Sam: After reading Mitee's reply, now I'm wondering why did the cop shoot at Brown while Brown was running away from the squad car? I think the cop called for backup after the struggle in the squad car, but think he said he got out of the car, ordered Brown to stop, then he fired several times before Brown stopped and turned around. Since backup would probably arrive in a short time, and Brown had already been shot in the hand during the struggle in the car and probably wouldn't have gotten far, do you think the cop might have waited for backup to arrive, then they could have chased Brown together?

We like to think that that people can change, but seldom does that happen.

My thoughts are this......Did Michael brown deserve to die as a result of his actions....My answer is no
Did Officer Wilson do all in his power to prevent the death of Michel Brown...My answer is no.
Was officer Wilson criminal in his action..my answer is no.
Who was primarily responsible for Michael Brown death.
My answer is Michael Brown.

There was no satisfactory outcome from this event.

The one thing that I am certain is that Michael may have paid too high a price for this particular action. but if he had gotten away with it.
The end result would have been the same. Angry people become emboldened by actions they get away with. Michael Brown was on that path, maybe last August was too soon for him to be lying dead in the street, But there would have been many future August that his lying dead in the street would have been too late.

I fell sorry for the people of Ferguson, especially the children.
The making of Michael Brown a martyr is the wrong message. It will only result in more Michael Browns.
I have a couple of observations, That linger in my mind.
The words of Michael's stepfather.... "Burn down the bitch'
And the words of Michael real father, and more importantly the pain in his eyes that reflect both the life and death of his son.
There is no doubt in my mind, that almost all real parents take the responsibility for the actions, and results from their children. It doesn't matter to a real parent the blame of others, A real parent feels some responsibility no matter what. It is the nature of real parenthood.
Ferguson...is in trouble, it's sad to see and nearly impossible to correct. Many in Ferguson say the right things, want to do the right things....but it all falls on deaf ears. The children believe more in what they see, than what they hear.

I don't know what happened, so I am agnostic on this affair.

The thought that pops into my mind is how many of those outraged over the outcome of this were equally upset over the OJ verdict?

Based on the scant info I have have seen so far, OJ's guilt was far more obvious.

I watched the TV interview with the cop.

The thought crossed my mind, when he described struggling with the suspect while still in the vehicle, why didn't he get out on the passenger side?

Perhaps one of our police experts could explain that to me.
