Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't know Michael Brown was a criminal. What crime was he convicted of again?
He had a juvenile record confirmed but they would not release it to public...that and the video of him strong arm robbing a store minutes before his death....technically not on his record, but unless you think it was a friendly encounter that was mistaken for a robbery then he was a criminal in every sense of the word.

if lots of people come forward and contradict all the police forensic evidence that could had been planted then I am sorry but I will not be at all surprised.
Police are experts at this and have been caught many at time so to suggest they would not do it to protect one of their own really does not have any legs to walk on.

None of that makes him a criminal. A crime has to be committed. A crime can only be determined by a court.

I predict that regardless of the outcome lots of stupid people around Ferguson will be doing lots of stupid things tonight.... People can feel free to stop by Chicago any time they want to protest for all the blacks who are dying on the streets on the South-West sides of the city...
What I've learned from this story is...
Black man shot by white man = national craze for the black population
Black man shot by black man = they don't seem to care one bit, because if they did they would be protesting every weekend here in Chicago
Well they do. They just had one there a couple of months ago. there are lot's of protests, community meetings etc in Chicago about gun violence....yeah it's not every weekend but people are protesting.
www.suntimes.com...
and just adding for clarity that Ferguson isn't a suburb of Chicago so...different protesters...different issues and dynamics and history.
Well, I live here in Chicago and I don't hear about these protests, and they don't seem to be a national story like what we're seeing down in Ferguson... The point I'm making is that this story has been blown WAY out of proportion. A guy who just robbed a store died at the hands of a cop... In what universe should we be sad over a thug dying? I'm sorry for sounding cold, but I will save my sadness for people who deserve it, like children with cancer or people who can't find their next meal, but some thug who finally had karma catch up with him?? no thanks... I'm sorry for his family for needing to deal with the death of a loved one, but Brown was no angel...

No indictment. Wilson walks. Book it.
Cynthia Harcourt, a lawyer for the juvenile officer of St. Louis County Family Court, said after the hearing that she could neither confirm nor deny the existence of a juvenile record for Mr. Brown. Missouri state law prohibits the records of most juvenile court proceedings from being released to the public. But she said Mr. Brown had no juvenile cases involving serious felony charges or convictions, including murder, robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. Those felony records would not be required to be confidential and would have been released, but none exist for Mr. Brown, Ms. Harcourt said.

What do you do when you have had your protest and the state fails to listen to you on something lets say like fracking and the cops have been pointing guns in your face.
Talking and talking does not always work and the state is the first to use force both at home and abroad but these days they are having to use it more and more.
At what stage are they right to throw the tea chests in the harbour ?
