Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60, 267]

Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

Well, I'm glad justice was done, despite the race-baters like Holder and Obama who tried to inflame the situation, and pressure the GJ to make the wrong decision.

So, our President sent representatives to the funeral of Michael Brown, who was shot dead when attempting to assault a Police Officer. Another brilliant decision by these clowns in the White House.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

OK, so...then we should rename Fox as the White network?

(BET is not a news network...)

DERP

No, just name it the Network that routinely beats the pants off of MSNBC and CNN combined when it comes to ratings.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

MSNBC as well. But hey I suppose. Did you happen to notice the all the reporters in the gallery at the announcement were white. This discussion made me look for that.

Reporting breaking news is different than a panel on "Race in America"
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

What indication did you get from the GJ decision that Micheal being black had nothing to do with his being shot?

I'm not claiming it was...but how can you claim is was not?

That's not the way logic or science works. If someone makes a claim that Brown was shot because he was black, he has to prove it. It is not up to the other person to prove he wasn't.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

So does that mean that FOXNews is the White Entertainment Network?

In some cases you might say that
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

"alleged petty theft is punishable by murder
social media (which includes LIVE FOOTAGE) is not credible
darren wilson WAS responsible for the death of mike brown but thats not enough to even INDICT HIM
a white man is able to kill an unarmed 18 year old"

What/whom are you quoting? Whomever it is isn't too up on the facts of the case.

Of course Wilson was responsible for the death of Michael Brown Wilson never denied that, would you please post the live footage of the act of the shooting if you have it? All accounts I read make it look justified

By the way we don't have to say alleged Michael Brown is dead so he won't suffer from us defaming his character that video clearly shows Michael Brown stealing the cigarillos okay it's not alleged he did do it
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

Obama is about to give a statement.

Did they do a "discussion on race in America" with an all-white panel?

Moderator's Warning:
I'm giving you three the benefit of the doubt here that you didn't see my last warning. Now you're quoted so you damn well should.

This topic is not about Fox News.

Stop it or take it to another thread
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

I'm very pleased that a DM and a mod posted in this thread on the actual topic, what with all the petty nonsense they have to deal with across the board.
And I don't exclude myself from that either.
All posters should always read what these people say and how they say it, especially on these contentious issues .
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

I don't know, to be honest, don't really care to defend FoxNews, or MSNBC or CNN. Pretty much think they're all snakeoil salesmen. Just don't think we'd get an accurate picture of race in America from any of them no matter how much they rainbowed the panel.

And dang it, I didn't see talk of news critters was off the table. I'll stop immediately.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

One would think a panel discussion of race in America might include at least one person of a different race.

Yeah you would think that out of the 20 or 30 minority Republicans out there, that they could have brought in one of them. :)
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

If everything the guy talking said is true then I'd have to agree with the decision.

I never did understand why this became such a big thing. There are so, so many worse examples of police acting in a manner that I think is likely criminal or deeply wrong. Why this was escalated I can only guess was because of the possibly erroneous witness testimony and the media using it as a ratings tool.

After I found out that Brown had robbed a store and jumped in a cop car and went for the gun... I really didn't care after that.

The case was murky and disconcerting on the surface. Whether the grand jury's set-up and decision-making rationale was "correct" is another matter entirely. Yet another issue is how groups of people did not separate their pre-conceived notions from the specifics of the case.

Whites and conservatives tended to too readily embrace Wilson's story that Brown was out to harm him and many minorities and liberals likewise too readily jumped to the conclusion that Brown was unjustly killed. Each did it because they analyze these things from a socio-racial perspective, irrespective of access to information from the case or the specifics of the case.

Then on top of all of that, it's not as if the community management by this police department has been positive. They are largely seen as an alien presence by the community; absent in the communities that distrust them and lacking in racial polarity with community demographics. Many aspects surrounding the handling of the legal case are indeed worthy of critique.

Tonight, the biggest problem I had with this press conference was the complaints toward the traditional media and social media tools. It was unnecessarily distracting from the particulars of the case and will only enflame how millions of people perceive what happened during these proceedings. A reality is you don't trash the media, because they will fight back and it will filter down to the public in an unintentioned manner.

The fact of the matter is that Missouri law allows police officers tremendous leeway in using deadly force. There was no need under the law that Wilson to be in fear for his life...He could have shot Micheal in the back while Micheal was fleeing.

Missouri law allows a police officer to use deadly force to stop a person from fleeing apprehension even it the officer only suspects the person may have committed a crime. That basically is anybody.

That the person is running away, turning to surrender, or running towards, or standing with his hands up does not matter.

After the altercation at the police vehicle...once Micheal ran away...under Missouri law...he was a dead man.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

You know, I feel bad for the parents, but when they argue they that we need to work for a system that prevents this from happening in the future…. I mean y'all realize that y'all raised him. You are the system that allowed this to happen. Had you not raised a criminal, he would not have been shot by the police.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

So many BS witness accounts.

All this over lies from people " witnesses " with a agenda.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Cops need cameras on them for their entire shifts.

And someone not on the force should be in charge of the raw video.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

Some truly moronic questions being asked right now at the press conference.

One claiming that the country will be struck by the fact that there isn't a law to protect and value the life of this "young man" who was "unquestionably shot and killed dead, there's no dispute about that, by the Police officer." "Is this really justice?" What a complete moronic ass!

He was answered with the fact that the laws are there to protect people. As in, he was someone that the laws protect people from.

Missouri law however does not trump federal law

Title 18 United States code 242

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

And if the feds had a case there would already be a grand jury working on this charge against Wilson

Nonsense

Just nonsense.

If your make believe account was even remotely true they would have come back with a indictment.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Have to say I really like that there was a well conducted press conference announcing the result and how questions were asked and answered like real honest to god reporters and public officials.

Agreed, and the bill should come to your house. :mrgreen:

LMFAO !!

Yes, so that " raw video " can be edited by the likes of some poverty pimp or " panel " of people who're allowed by YOU to discuss " race issues " in America.
