There are too many loudmouths with pointless opinions in this world. A young man is dead, a community is in turmoil, and the ATS 'blame darkie' brigade is out in full force starring each other and patting each other on the back for their perpetuation of racial tension.
You're living in a powderkeg, and most of you seem either too dense to realize it or waiting to actualize some sick Turner Diaries wet dream. Some of you appear to be frothing at the mouth for a chance to give these 'thugs' and 'looters' and 'Obama voters' a taste of racial warfare.

Do the forensics prove it?.
Yes. The evidence was read on the air last night when the verdict was read. Browns DNA and blood were on the police car door, inside the police car, and even on WIlsons pants. Also, the photographic evidence was presented showing Wilson with the punch marks to the head that were inflicted upon him by Brown when he reached inside the cop car to punch him and try to take his gun. The evidence is very clear and it doesn't lie. Brown reached inside the car, punched the cop a few times, and tried to steal his gun.As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
Quoting you in hopes that it gets read again!!
Would love to go on but family is coming in and all.
Seasons Greetings!

Whoa...I'm not taking any side on this...I'm just passing on what limited information I have in regards to states of emergency and property damage. As for employees...I don't know. They would need to contact their county offices. Which given the circumstances, I can't see opening until next Monday at the earliest.

I attacked two police officers before...
Put one in an ambulance...
They didn't shoot me, they just outnumbered me and beat the # out of me...
Wilson had back up...
They could have done the same that happened to me, very simple.

If you apply for the force, pass the academy, and qualify on the range, then yes you'd be just as qualified as Wilson.

Seriously? Blame the "darkie brigade"? Let me remind you and this isn't an opinion, this is factual, these "people" are not Americans. They stand behind a history that doesn't exist anymore, which what I am getting at is the very fact they are the only individual group to call themselves "african american." Why? Do I need to start calling myself "England American?" NOPE! Because it is stupid! These people are STUPID! They are whatever first and not American. Anyone of you that support these people are no better than those in Ferguson and can kindly join them when the SHTF, so we can trim the herd and not just the fat.
These people are not justified in any shape or form because it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. It is between the victim's family and the state. THE STATE WON, GET OVER IT.
We do not see "England Americans"(joke) rioting and protesting because OJ isn't in jail.
Kindly drink your tea because it is none of anyone business.

I'll tell you why - disenfranchisement, systemic racism.

So all LEOs should be sharpshooters now?
Damn right they should...
& if they don't pss Sharpshooter classes then all they should get is a taser & pepper spray...
f you're panicking and trying to save your own life, you'd probably miss a few shots as well.
Well I'm not armed to protect and serve the community around me...
I'm not expected to use due diligence in a confrontational situation...
I'm not trained in armed combat...
Hey give me a gun & a badge...
I'm just as qualified as Wilson it seems.

And your very lucky that is how it turned out.
Again, attack someone, and you risk being shot. Don't want to be shot???? Don't attack someone.
And LEO aren't there to play fair. They are there to enforce the laws and go home at the end of the shift.
Very simple.

But then ran away? Again the rules of engagement are that he has to be fearing his life.

So tell me this brown was reaching for his gun when he was running away and shot in the back? How was the officer fearing for his life if brown was running away?
I suspect if you had thought they would all be gun wielding coppers, you probably wouldn't have attacked them....

The evidence was not read on the air the prosecusion read their argument.
Frankly, I think it is highly probable that racism in the way that the officer reacted was to some degree involved.
I also think it the reaction on the officers side was most likely unnecessary and an overreaction.
I also find it rather probable to come to the conclusion that Brown behaved violently.

I seriously doubt last night would have happened if the police chief had been fired after the leaks or if the governor had appointed a special prosecutor for the grand jury.
