Watching the news just seen that Darren Wilson said he has a clear conscience after shooting Michael Brown is he trying to make things worse with comments like that ?

"Watching the news just seen that Darren Wilson said he has a clear conscience after shooting Michael Brown is he trying to make things worse with comments like that ?

If he did his job according to the book - then maybe he does. Should he feel a bit guilty that someone died - I think he should.

Maybe he is someone who doesn't show emotion that well...

I was never expecting justice for Michael Brown and I think many others thought the same.

Justice in the US is not colour blind, there are so many recent examples and statistical evidence of that.

It's really very sad when I can hear of an unarmed young man get gunned down and know that no one will be prosecuted as a matter of course.

You're forgetting to add that Brown had robbed a store a few moments prior, and that there was apparently a struggle between him and Wilson. It's not as clear cut as "man shoots other man". He was undoubtedly trigger happy, but it's sadly within his rights to shoot a dangerous person fleeing a crime. (Dangerous due to the previous struggle and robbery). I'm glad our police don't rely on guns.

To be a armed police officer I'm sure you have to go through some sort of gun training and to pass your shooting would have to be of high standards so to have to shoot 12 times there was only one thing on this cops mind

Never said he should feel guilty - I'm saying he's not a "pussy" if he did. It's your language and sentiment I have an issue with, yet again. I've already said he was within his rights according to the law. Ethically, however, he wasn't.

Never said he deserved it, but legally it's okay in America due to their fleeing felon rule. Wilson was able to argue that Brown posed a serious threat.

I think it's archaic that the police are allowed guns.

There's shooting someone and then there's just plain psycho issues. As a trained professional you get taught as a stopping kill, two to the chest one to the head. Shooting someone twelve times is absolutely shocking. Unless you have a machine gun and th rate of fire is high. Therefore he clearly had some mental issues for him to almost empty a clip on someone. Disgraceful and unprofessional

Strange, because you don't like my opinions, yes of course, that makes sense.

Strange because you comments are irrelevant what has the army got to do with a police officer shooting an unarmed man.... Zero

So yes very strange

Not to mention your 'at least he's not a pussy' comment! In my book shooting an unarmed 18yrd old well doesn't get much more pussy than that!!

Well your 'hubby' was in the army so if he killed an unarmed civilian then yes he should feel bad about it! But regardless if he did or not that's not what the thread is about.....

America is on tender hooks over this subject ready to kick off at any moment so the thread is about why would he come out in public and say that now you Tell me what don't YOU understand about that

Dead right. Also worth noting that police ammunition is actually far more deadly than military ammunition. Another reason why 12 rounds should be considered unreasonable even if the suspect was armed, which he wasn't.

Well, that's the issue. Perhaps you should take it on board as it detracts from your point. No one will ever listen to you or take what you have to say on board if your points are diluted by inflammatory statements.

No gun, Brown tried to grab Wilson's and assaulted Wilson. Don't know where she got the idea that he had an imitation gun, unless she's confusing the cases.

two different cases... the case of the 12 yr old in cleveland was waving around a toy gun in a kids playground... didn't look anything like the real thing apparently...

and in the michael brown case.. the policeman said brown was coming towards him... although there were eyewitness's who said brown was actually running away from them

"so why was he shot if he was unarmed? what are the facts of the case?"

Wilson identified them as the robbers, tried to stop them, a fight ensued and then Wilson shot to apprehend.

"Wilson thought he had no choice but to draw his weapon, because Brown was "incredibly strong". He was unable to use pepper spray due to the close quarters, and his baton was out of reach. Brown grabbed Wilson's pistol while punching him repeatedly in the face."

Wilson gave chase, repeatedly shooting. 7 of the 12 bullets hit Brown.

The reality is, being a police officer puts a pressure on you that is unique to the profession. Many claim the shooting was unlawful, but realistically, none of us know what we'd do in the same situation.

My concern arises from the fact that 12 shots were fired. That smacks of excess.

And if you ask me, the resulting unrest across the u.s is about something deeper than just one guy getting shot. This is general resentment of the police, the majority tired of their perceived oppressed status in society. And so much more than police policy and one dead guy come into that discussion.

it was interesting watching the press conference of the prosecutor and basically go out and discredit the victim.... it was almost like he was working for the defence... and to be honest the way he used the grand jury was like a suedo trial in itself...

people are asking lots of questions... the main one is "why not just go to trial"...

I think by announcing it at 9pm local time and giving people a good 6 hrs notice they were doing this, you could see they were almost trying to hide the decision behind the violence and uproar that was coming.....

Sadly I think you are right. I alluded to the same earlier with the timing of this latest announcement particularly when you consider tgat while last night's demonstrations were more widespread they were also generally peaceful. Yet this will inevitably stir up more anger.

But it's undeniable that civil unrest can be manipulated to create a very effective smoke screen.

Sorry, you missed my point, a white man killing a black man is deemed serious injustice, regardless of the facts, but the other crimes are just accepted by the community. Where are the riots against the drug-dealers, the armed robbers, the muggers, why is it always the police? Where are the community leaders working with the police to combat the problems in their communities?

In that state a police officer is permitted to shoot at a person fleeing from arrest. Self-defence doesn't come into it.

The jury of 9 white and 3 black people agreed he had no case to answer, yet still you say I am being unreasonable and trying to twist the facts.

My son? somehow I doubt he will ever be shot by a policeman of any colour. Is that because he is white, or is it because he has been brought up not to attact an armed policeman?

No people are stating FACTS that have come out after court.....pretty simple so the public has a right to there own opinions on wether it was right or wrong regardless of what the jurors thought

Shooting an unarmed person 12 times really

Like I say,if thats how he feels then he should be able to say that

Some people are just "button pushers"!...some just love to keep up with the "holier than thou" appearance....note I used the word appearance....because I am not deceived... Ugly and vulgar people.

Who exactly is your comment directed at?

To anyone who recognises this as applying to themselves, so if you were wondering if it were about you, then perhaps it applies...therefore it could be you.

Take it as you like."

I don't recognise that as me but wanted clarification so I could respond correctly

What does that have to do with anything? No one gives a shit about white on white or latino on latino gun crime either.

Good post

You think any post on here with something to do with race or black and white is a good comment lol

"In that state a police officer is permitted to shoot at a person fleeing from arrest. Self-defence doesn't come into it.

The jury of 9 white and 3 black people agreed he had no case to answer, yet still you say I am being unreasonable and trying to twist the facts.

My son? somehow I doubt he will ever be shot by a policeman of any colour. Is that because he is white, or is it because he has been brought up not to attact an armed policeman?

None of us will ever really know what happened here. The different groups (police, protesters, politicians and press) will all put their own slant on the situation and seek to address their own agenda.

What I do know for a fact is that America is one mixed up country that needs to take a good, long, hard look at itself

i can see how it could be deemed unjustified and justified by both sides

1 side says he was unarmed and fleeing so why shoot him

the other saying he was attacking the cop and then tried to flee afterwards and got a clip emptied at him

wouldnt wanna be a cop

The grand jury verdict relied on the evidence presented by the prosecutor.

There were serious, but ignored, concerns that the prosecutor was biased in favour of the police department, from previous experience.

The community and local politicians called for an independent prosecutor to be used but that didn't happen.

So until we know how much of the available evidence was presented we don't know how 'fair' the verdict has been.

And you know this to be a fact? Without sounding too rude but I'm sure the young boy from Leeds that went into his class room and stabbed a teacher was brought up correctly or am I missing the point? Just because your brought up right never rule these things out AND secondly are you assuming because he's a young blk American man he wasn't brought up not to assault a police officer?

Sorry, my bad.

In that case: I like the police, they generally do a very hard job far better than I could, and I hope they don't shoot me next time I do 32 in a 30 zone (though I doubt they will

the purpose of a grand jury isn't too adminsister guilt or innocence, as they dont hear any defense arguements at all.... it is to determine if there is enough evidence for it to go to trial

now... if the prosecutors present over 60 hours of evidence.... would that suugest there is enough?

the interesting thing is this case, is that this is the first time i can remember, where the prosecuter has a press conference and then rips everything about the witness's and the victim's case, thus making it almost impossible for his decision to be reversed....

and the person who said it was a mixed grand jury....

the population in the county in question is 90% black........ the grand jury was made up of 9 white people and 3 black people..... they have refused to disclose the number of the result....

now if it was lets say 12-0 in favour of every decision.... don't you think that would have made that known?

no murder charge, no manslaughter charge.... no nothing!

it's of little surprise really when the post of Distrct Attorney and Chief of Police are both political offices in america ..... that is to say that they are not independently appointed positions but posts that are usually filled by career politicians who are endorsed by the elected mayor. the nature of the case meant that effectively the state itself could find itself on trial and so the state saw the need to defend itself ... otherwise these politicians could find their careers comming to an abrupt end

one of the troubling elements is prosecutor Robert P. McCullough's relationship with Ferguson police department and St. Louis County police department. His Father, Mother, Brother and his Uncle all work for the Police. His father was allegedly killed responding to a call in the community of Ferguson Missouri.

it would seem fair to say that he was hardly in a position to carry out the role of public prosecuter in an objective way.

the state senator,amongst many others called for an independent prosecutor to conduct proceedings, the senator is quoted as saying, " This racially charged climate demands an independent investigation, and to be perfectly blunt, the African-American community has no confidence that your office can carry out an impartial investigation and prosecution.”

She cited several reasons for this lack of confidence, including McCullochs’ failure to bring charges against police officers accused of killing two men in 2000 – even in the face of the findings from an independent U.S. Attorney Office investigation that those officers had lied about their behavior and fired 20 shots into the unarmed victims’ vehicle."

One eye witness says Michael Brown didn't punch the officer. But there was evidence of bruising to his face that may have been caused by a punch.

I don't know what the definition of 'fucking up' is.

Michael Brown was shot in the arm by the officer from within the car. Then ran away, that's when the officer got out of the car and shot at him.

That officer must have been really mad, it wouldn't be a surprise if he was seeing red and thirsty for revenge.

yeh and isnt it justified when an assault is happening. Its the same in security, you cant use any excessive force until your being lamped basically lol

And why didnt he have a load of bullets in his back if he was fleeing when he got shot

Ive read the report just now. The officer attempted to get out of the vehicle, brown prevented this and started punching him through the open window, was also going for his gun, cop shoots and hits him in the hand/arm, brown flees, cop pursues, brown turns and rushes the cop while the cops telling him to stop and cop unloads a clip in him

Several eyewitnesses have said that Brown didn't rush towards Wilson.

He had already been shot before moving towards Wilson which one eye witness said was him surrendering.

Half of the eyewitnesses, those called to give evidence at the grand jury corroborated Wilson's side of the story. The prosecutor called the other witnesses liars and cast doubt on them at the press conference after the verdict was known. Highlighting how many thought he was biased from the start.

glad someone actually knows a lot about this case....

which is why they wanted the DOJ to look into it..... and in the case like the Treyvon martin case, wanted the federal government to take over the case from the state...

but that needs state's approval.....

the problem is that the government could turn it into a federal case... but because there burden of proof is much higher than the legal case at state level... the DA has basically crushed that option by what he said in the press conference....

You're right Fabio, there are many elements about this case that don't seem to add up in the cold light of day, including why the guy was initially stopped, the resulting conversation and scuffle, and whether or not it should have ended in the way it did, whether the investigation should have been independent, and whether the officer could have been advised not to make any statements which might further inflame the situation.

As always I believe neither side, but suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle. However it is equally sad that some will use it to incite riots, and others will use those riots to further reinforce their prejudices.
