[Mavorpen]

2. that witness has been refuted by other witnesses. statement not credible

No he hasn't. At least two other witnesses have confirmed that Brown had surrendered when he was killed.

1. Cop didn't know teen was a suspect.

2. Eyewitness reports have the cop acting terribly unprofessionally and then turning violent and executing teen without serious provocation.

3. Protests occur and police crackdown producing the mess we have now.

4. Refuting your nonsense was fairly easy.

1. Unimportant
2. that witness has been refuted by other witnesses. statement not credible
3. Crime apologizing
4. hardly refuted anything.

1. Entirely important, it destroys your entire setup.

2. Statement more credible that the officers.

3. We already know you are apologizing for a crime. Why do you have to repeat it?

4. Entirely refuted you post.

From what's been said by witnesses, Brown at some point was running from the policeman, the policeman shot at Brown, Brown then stopped and turned around with his hands raised in surrender, and then was shot to death.

35 feet from the car. As I said, I sit corrected.

And, from what's been said by the police chief, the policeman had no idea that Brown has a suspect in any crime whatsoever. Combined with the fact that the police department was already under fire for racism, the police have tried to suppress protests leading to the riots we have now, the police force is almost exclusively white in contradiction to Ferguson's population, and the specific policeman in question began his association with Brown by yelling f-- and practically attacking him according to eyewitnesses it's fairly clear what happened: racist officer decided to harass Brown and then gunned him down in cold blood for the 'crimes' of running away and surrendering.

They've even harassed and arrested reporters while giving no reason.

It really should not be surprising at this point when we're skeptical of claims by the police there.

I'm beginning to see why no one admits they were wrong, cause fuckers keep kicking even thought they've won.

i already conceded but for some reason, y'all felt the need to keep correcting me.

The killing was most likely caused by racism but an investigation should be done before we jump to conclusions. The riots definitely are not an appropriate response to this. Destroying your own neighborhood isn't going to fix anything or help anyone.

and that would seem to me to be something that an autopsy can show--was mr brown shot at very close range, meaning that the cop might have some reason to have shot him the first time--or were all the shots done from enough distance that an unarmed man couldn't be a threat?

Ah yes, the Gentle giant

I don't recall anyone but his mother (who is expected to do so) referring to him as "gentle". The fact is that the police officer did not know that he was a suspect in that robbery, and may have shot him once as he was fleeing and another several times as he was attempting to surrender.

He may have, or he may have attacked him causing injury, as the police say. This points that it very well could have been the second case, as Brown could have believed he was being stopped for the robbery

So which witnesses are making conflicting statements?

I heard something along those lines.

Making some conflicting statements shouldn't be surprising to anyone used to witness reports. Witnesses tend to not remember things exactly as they see them.

I know it can hurt your pride to be wrong, but a few posts from completely different posters isn't exactly verbal battering.

There are other people who have argued against this, you know.

Yeah, and what does that matter for?

Yeah, and what does that matter for?

Given that the officer was in hospital for his injuries, use of force was justified.

How is using lethal force on a person who was fleeing and is now surrendering justified?

It has already been shown that Brown was not stopped as a suspect of that robbery.
