Ferguson police chief: Officer didn't stop Brown as robbery suspect

Even after he reached into a police car to wrestle away the officer's gun?

Maybe he tripped and fell through the car window.

Link, please? How did the officer manage to shoot him six times, and three to the head in such a scuffle? You care to explain more to me?
 
I don't care what you say, there is something wrong with someone who is holding up their arms, being shot six times, and 3 times to the head. There will be an investigation...

Ferguson police chief: Officer didn't stop Brown as robbery suspect

There is no evidence that the officer was racially motivated, so no reason for the Feds to get involved, although the family may have grounds for a federal wrongful death suit against the police department.

Is that what happened? Do we have a vid?

It's what all five witnesses say happened.

Good Lord. The link is pretty much every news site and station in the United States of America. This has pretty much already been established.

Care to explain to me how the officer's face got beat to a pulp?

Perhaps I am uninformed. I admit it, I'm not a know-it-all. Link, please?

You're not just not a know it all, you're a "know nothing".. ;)

Get up to speed then come back and play.

I'm closer to this than what you may think. I know stuff and stuff. Here is what you call a link... Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source

I was hoping that this community would further my knowledge. Be proud you are an exemplar.

Now, why is it that Republicans can't look up facts that don't favor their side? That, my friends, is called partisanship, something I despise.

By the way, which party do you think is tied to the Know-Nothing Party?

You think this is a Democrat-Republican issue?

Wow.

Wow.

No, I don't. However, Republicans like to take their side and stick to it, no matter what. I want to see what people think about this issue. What do you think?

If that was truly what you wanted you wouldn't have started this thread by claiming something as fact that is very much suspect.

What did I claim that you deem "unfactual"? Shot six times, three to the head, being investigated by the DOJ, and yet you are claiming without actual proof that somehow this police officer was beaten while he was able to fire off six shots, and three to the head? Where are the photos that show this police officer was beaten? You know? Like, bruises and such?
 
There is no evidence that the officer was racially motivated, so no reason for the Feds to get involved, although the family may have grounds for a federal wrongful death suit against the police department.

All? Black, White and Grey?

Where is the link with the video of brown with his hands up?

And youve already shown your bias here by making this a partisan issue. Although im not shocked democrats are cheerleading for criminals

Is that what you call an under-handed slight at suggesting a payoff for their family to "shut up" or else? I think it's beyond that, don't you?

I can believe that his hands were up. That would comply with the autopsy report. What I can't believe is you Republicans making up a story that the officer was beaten while he was able to fire off six shots, three to the head, and according to the autopsy report, no signs of struggle were suggested, at least as what is reported.

What I can't fathom is how you Republicans are willy-nilly ready and able to cut police officer fundings and retirement, and still find room to always be on their side, especially if it involves someone of color.

Ferguson police chief: Officer didn't stop Brown as robbery suspect

Maybe it's just more pearls before swine, but we don't know for certain he was holding up his arms and surrendering. And jumping from a local investigation right to a federal investigation skips a few vital steps.
 
Link, please? How did the officer manage to shoot him six times, and three to the head in such a scuffle? You care to explain more to me?

It's called reading. Either you haven't done it or you're willfully ignoring most of what's been published.
 
No, I don't. However, Republicans like to take their side and stick to it, no matter what. I want to see what people think about this issue. What do you think?

What side? There shouldn't be a side. I do tend to lean toward a cop versus a kid that just robbed a convenience store, but I'm waiting for the real facts to decide.

You're not interested in that. You've already taken Brown's side, without a the foggiest clue of what the facts are.

It also does not comply with the autopsy, or did you not hear the private medical examiner, paid for by ben crump, say that he may or may not have had his hands up.

And its been well established that brown was in a fight with the officer. Get off huffpo and media matters and youll see.

Firing six shots is EASILY done in a fight at close range. Put yourself in his shoes, youve been beaten up, a 6'4" 300lb man is coming at you. There is also another suspect involved (johnson). You are alone.

What do you do? Im sure you would be able to talk him down, or maybe you are a ninja?

Cutting police funding? That is a city council decision, i would simply like to cut everything back. The world wouldnt end if someone got a little less on their welfare check.

And this is a legal issue, not a partisan issue.

You know for a fact that firing off six rounds is "EASILY" done in close range?
