Christo, are you saying you have no issue with the handling of this and you believe the officer acted appropriately in the moment and after the shooting occurred?

I don't know what happened.

The Christotm cop-out

Sure, because all of the speculation in the thread has been so helpful.

I haven't seen anybody in this thread take the position that Brown family attorney Darryl Parks takes in this article. (bolded) Anyone agree with Parks' take?

Police Union: 'Justice Needs to Go Both Ways'
Sergeant Kevin Ahlbrand, president of the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police, says the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown has been vilified in the press and by politicians before the facts are known.

"Justice needs to go both ways," Ahlbrand told Fox News's Megyn Kelly Tuesday night.

"We routinely don't comment on these cases until the facts are in. But we thought it was very necessary that we say, hey, we're open for a very thorough investigation, but we're very concerned about the due process rights of Darren."

On Wednesday, a grand jury is expected to begin hearing evidence to determine if Officer Darren Wison should be charged in Brown's death.

"You know, when a police officer has to take a life, that is the worst possible thing he can do in his job," Ahlbrand said. "It's a very traumatic experience, and now he's facing death threats from people, his family is facing death threats, and nobody is standing up for Darren and we have to stand up for him."

According to the Associated Press, Office Wilson received special recognition at a Ferguson City Council meeting in February for his role in responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle, then struggling with the driver and detaining him until help arrived. Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said the suspect was preparing to sell a large amount of marijuana.

Ahlbrand said he doesn't know if Wilson will testify before the grand jury. But he doesn't think the grand jury will indict him: "My personal belief is that they will not return an indictment, based on the facts that I know right now."

Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed is demanding that St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch step aside and let a special prosecutor handle the case.

She has warned that failure to indict Wilson will make the Ferguson rioting up to this point "seem like a picnic compared to the havoc that will likely occur, because the black community will never accept that there was an impartial investigation from (McCulloch's) office."

In a statement Tuesday night, Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, urged a "vigorous prosecution" to "achieve justice in the shooting death of Michael Brown." But Nixon also refused to remove the "democratically elected" St. Louis County prosecutor.

Daryl Parks, one of the attorneys representing Michael Brown's family, told Fox News he believes the evidence shows that Michael Brown was trying to surrender when he was killed.

"Quite possibly, whatever happened at the car probably made him (Wilson) mad. And so, whatever his mind set is, he got out of the car it caused him to take the action he took. He had shot Michael once, Michael turned around, Michael was wounded, there was no reason to continue shooting him...He didn't have to kill him like that."

And what if Michael had been charging toward the officer, as some witnesses have said?

"Even if he was," Parks said, "he was already shot and wounded, he was a wounded man. So he wasn't a real threat to the officer at that point."

"If the grand jury doesn't indict, will you accept that?," Megyn Kelly asked Parks.

"Not necessarily, I think the grand jury has enough probable cause to at least charge the officer," he replied."They need to come down with an indictment."

Not to happy with the bolded statement from the State Senator either. Nothing like inciting a future riot.

 

[jon_mx]

So officers are 10 times more effective in killing than criminals. That is a good thing. And for a country of 300 million plus people, 300 is not a big number of people killed and is even very small compared to the numbers of murders each year. Police should be held accountable by some other agency, but this is a red herring compared to other problems in this country.

[matttyl]

Wilson doesn't have to show anything actually. Probably like George Z, if he ever goes to trial he'll never testify. Just have his defense team question the witnesses, get a jury dominated by older white people, and then his lawyer argues the state can't prove it (which is probably true). And he'll walk.

For better or worse here, I agree. If GZ got off when he's not a cop and TM was much smaller than him (if I recall correctly), then certainly a cop who's much smaller than the victim will also.

So does this article seem possible:

(St. Louis County, MO) – Law enforcement officials in St. Louis County, Missouri have drastically lowered the max IQ-cap for all newly hired police officers. What that means for hopeful flat-foots is a limit on how intelligent they can be before receiving a gun and badge.

Yet I believe you've conceded that if there was a fracture it could have been caused by the kid grabbing the cop and banging his head on something else like the steering wheel or the inside of the car door.

Given what we know about Zimmerman it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that he did take a drive up the Ferguson to check things out. That's why it's funny.

 

[kentric]

So now they're walking back the "severely beaten", "fractured orbital" statements? I've watched the videos taken directly after the shooting several times. The officer doesn't look like he is any way a victim of a severe beating. He stands around for a while, walks back and forth up and down the street. Doesn't call for an ambulance. I'm just not buying it.

Those videos were not high quality, clear videos so it isn't surprising you couldn't see swelling. Perhaps you would be able to discern major redness to his cheek, but just because you can't see it doesn't mean its not there. As to him standing there walking back and forth and not calling for an ambulance, his injury (assuming he had one) wasn't an immediate danger to his life. He had just shot someone. Personally, I'd give him a pass for not calling an ambulance at that time.

 

[jon_mx]

Zimmerman is an idiot.

Indisputable fact. Wouldn't surprise me that he heard about that fake article and is hauling ### to Ferguson.

Who are even bigger idiots is the Justice Department, who still has a team of lawyers in Florida investigating it. Quit wasting our taxpayer dollars now. If that really is the biggest civil rights issue that is happening in our country right now, that is definitive proof we don't have a civil rights problem.

I don't trust you anymore on this stuff, Christo. Before the Zimmerman trial started, you wrote that because it was a self-defense claim, that Zimmerman HAD to testify. I took your word for it and looked forward to an entertaining cross-examination- the highlight of the trial, something we never get to see anymore in these high publicity trials. But you were wrong; he never testified. And Wilson will never testify either.

Yeah. You made Tim look confused.

Why is everything about race. It is the worst Schlick on this forum. Why can't you frame arguments based on the evidence and stop assuming that every person of every race behavior is based on race.

You can't discount race in a situation like this. It is all about racial tension. You also have to agree that while an older, white jury would not automatically come up with a conclusion of innocent, it will surely be more likely to than a jury composed of 20-29 year old black men.

I think the issue we were discussing was Tim's claim that Zimmerman could just introduce the police report to get his own statements into evidence. My position was that police reports aren't admissible and that if Zimmerman wanted to introduce direct evidence into the record that he feared for his life he'd have to testify.

Whether a witness testifies or not is not a question of race though, it is the strategy employed by most defenses regardless of race. Absolutely a team of young black jurors would probably. hang him, but that is more of an indictment on the problems of black culture in this country and their immense felling of victimhood, most of which is only justified by history and not so much reality today.

So true. A jury selection will no doubt cause some tension. If it goes to trial, 'beyond a reasonable doubt will be heavily in play. A stupid move would be to with a charge of murder. That will be a total failure based on reasonable doubt once they bring character into play.

[JerseyToughGuys]

Christo? Any thoughts why there is no report? I'm blanking on reasons.

He'd had his face broken and was too out of it to call EMS and then hospitalized and couldn't file a report immediately?

Even if that's true (and no evidence of any of it, including the hospitalization), it's been over 12 days. At some point a police report should have been filed. The fact that it wasn't bodes bad things for Officer Wilson and his defenders.

He has the right to remain silent.

Selectively silent.

Sure it is. The allegations were that he was punching,though.

Saw this on a friends wall over at Facebook

Unreal. This can't be true.

It's not. Though the article on their front page about Kim Jong Un taking the ice bucket challenge seems possible.

I should post the comments below after he posted it but I don't think the filter here will let me get 2 words in.People actually think this is true or want to believe it is.

I don't understand how anyone could believe that article really happened. That would be like fracturing someone's orbital bone with your fist without leaving evidence on/under your skin.

That can be seen from space.

The puncher's skin. Which showed no signs of having punched anyone, according to all autopsies.

Yet I believe you've conceded that if there was a fracture it could have been caused by the kid grabbing the cop and banging his head on something else like the steering wheel or the inside of the car door.

Not just conceded. Many, many pages ago, I believe I suggested it may have been from contact with the door.

Which news report/eyewitness account is this version from?

As far as I've read, the initial reports were the officer tried to open the door up, he was too close to the kids, and the door sprung back on him.

Is there a report of the dead kid beating the officer in the head with the door? Missed that one.

Serious question: What are the sources, so far, from the Officer's side?

The Police Department

The family friend

The background voice John Doe

Are there any others?

No major media source has yet to confirm the below information so take it with a grain of salt for now:

BREAKING REPORT: Officer Darren Wilson Suffered “Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket” During Mike Brown AttackThe Gateway Pundit can now confirm from two local St. Louis sources that police Officer Darren Wilson suffered facial fractures during his confrontation with deceased 18 year-old Michael Brown. Officer Wilson clearly feared for his life during the incident that led to the shooting death of Brown. This was after Michael Brown and his accomplice Dorian Johnson robbed a local Ferguson convenience store.

Local St. Louis sources said Wilson suffered an “orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket.” This comes from a source within the Prosecuting Attorney’s office and confirmed by the St. Louis County Police.

A blowout fracture is a fracture of one or more of the bones surrounding the eye and is commonly referred to as an orbital floor fracture.

If this is confirmed to be true....this officer was getting the crap beaten out him. A fractured eye socket is no joke. Sorry but when your using physical force like this on a police officer and you just robbed a convenience store and you reportedly reached for an officers weapon.

Your a dead man in most cases.

None that I have read. It's speculation to explain where there was no sign of a struggle on the victim found on the victim in the autopsies.

The struggle itself is also unconfirmed, as is the alleged scuffle, the 'grabbing the officers gun', the shot inside the police car and many others (incl the distance between the officer and Brown when the latter was shot). Although we do have a video of Brown lying dead with no police car in sight

I think there been 'sources high in the investigation' - IIRC they leaked the broken orbital bone

Then unnamed sources for the swelling and possible other leaks
