    The information was also vetted by CNN from a source close to the investigation. The two accounts match. When the police finally release Wilson's deposition, we will most likely see his report matching Josie's and the source close to the investigation.

    A party can support racism and segregation which the Democrat party did for over 100 years before the Republicans finally won and the CRA and VRA was passed.

    What racism?

    A policeman tries to apprehend a suspect and the criminal is shot while assaulting the officer.

    And you have no basis to insinuate it wasn't. Brown was the threat to public safety.

    So what?

    Useless in that situation. But do give us the sceanrio and how he would have used it.

    Add in the "bumrushing them in an attempt to get their weapon part" and then revise your statement.

    OH if they have a knife you don't? Shooting them to prevent them taking your weapon is a justified shooting. Shooting them to prevent them from causing you serious bodily harm is a justified shooting.

    Ahhh trying to apprehend a fleeing felon whether they are white or black is ALWAYS a risk for the police officer but they do it anyway don't they, that way you don't have to do it.

    Yes when an officer is trying to apprehend a fleeing felon especially one who has already attacked them they are going to assume there is some risk at that point..................don't you think?

    Wait a minute, this 300lb 6'6" thug has just attacked him and threatened him trying to get his gun and the officer STILL tries to apprehend him and you think he is a coward? What exactly was racist about his trying to apprehend a felony robbery suspect, who turned out to the felony robber?

    Oh please. Police officers carry tasers now days. It's obvious that the Ferguson police department had modern equipment given all the riot gear and armored vehicles they have. You can't convince me that he had no taser.

    You obviously don't know me very well. I was trained by the state of Texas on how to use fire arms. I worked in law enforcement for the state of Texas for over 9 years. I have had to pull my weapon out many times in the course of my career. I never once had to fire that weapon because pulling my weapon out and giving a verbal warning that I was ready to shoot if the suspect came any closer worked out very well for me. Back then we didn't have tasers, so I was never trained on them, but they seem to work very well when a suspect is up close and personal. I know what I'm talking about when I talk about use of force. I also know that Wilson could very possibility be facing charges for manslaughter. Time will tell, but any fool can see that two shots to the head is excessive on any scale.

    i'm guessing you really don't think cnn's reportage is the gospel and did this possibility ever occur to you?:

    wilson told his wife his biased version of the story, then she told josie her biased version, etc, etc


    this is what pops into my mind when i hear about firearms training

    St. Louis police chief orders probes after officer gets racist letter

    ST. LOUIS • Police Chief Sam Dotson ordered internal and criminal investigations after a black officer in the department’s south patrol division received a racist letter through interdepartmental mail.

    “I’m frustrated and disappointed,” Dotson said of the letter, which came to his attention early last week.

    The typed letter arrived in a sealed white envelope with the receiving officer’s name on it inside a public mailbox for his district about a month ago. Laced with profanity and a racial epithet, it read: “You black (expletive). We want you out of our station. We want your black (expletive) dead. (Expletive) your medals. If an aide call comes out for you WE WON’T RESPOND. KILL YOURSELF (expletive) OR WE WILL. Respectfully, South Patrol.”

    Dotson said the act could be considered a hate crime. He said he has taken steps to ensure the officer’s safety, but declined to be specific.

    “In an abundance of caution, I wanted to do everything I could to reassure him that we were taking this seriously,” he said.

    He also issued a department-wide email Friday, which read in part: “Let it be known that racism or discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated within our police family. If any member of this department ... engages in this type of activity, they will not have a place here with us.”

    The First, Second and Third districts report to the south patrol station, at 3157 Sublette Avenue. Between 18 and 30 percent of officers in each of those districts are black. Dotson said he does not believe the letter is reflective of the entire patrol.

    “It’s targeted at a specific officer, but what we want to make sure is that it’s not rampant,” Dotson said.

    The Ethical Society of Police, which represents African-American police officers, issued a letter to its members Tuesday, pledging to meet with African-American police commanders within the next week to express concerns about the lack of diversity among high-ranking officers in south patrol.

    The group’s president, Sgt. Darren Wilson, said the highest-ranking black officer in the south patrol is a lieutenant. Wilson said a lack of minority commanders may have created an environment where someone felt comfortable enough to put a racist letter to an officer in a public mailbox.

    “Our members have asked me, ‘What are we going to do to get a little more diversified down here? We’re uncomfortable,’” Wilson said.

    Wilson said the officer who received the letter hesitated to come forward because he felt intimidated working in an environment where the commanding officers “didn’t look like him.”

    “Do I believe this is reflective of our department? I’d like to say no, but this is scary,” Wilson said. “This has shown that it has the potential to be more prevalent than we think or would imagine it being.”

    Wilson said his organization is “confident” in the chief’s initial response and so is the officer, who is also a member of the Ethical Society.

    “But we’re going to follow this every step of the way to find who is responsible and hold them accountable,” Wilson added.

    Thinking that the average Right of Center poster is as utterly clueless as the average Leftwing poster is a mistake on your part. No police officer patrolling alone is expected to sit inside the cab of his vehicle after being assaulted by a young thug, with a resulting shot fired inside the cab itself. He is expected to request backup if at all possible and then to give chase. No police force in this nation could function if your scenario were commonplace.

    You apparently do not..........

    because you were trained to subdue.............not injure.

    Your words make me want to call bull(*)(*)(*)(*) on your whole.........."I was in Law Enforcement" ruse.

    First of all, we don't know that Brown tried to take the officers gun. Just because the police department claims he did, doesn't make it so. If Wilson was so innocent, why hasn't the police department released the dash cam video. They claim the video didn't record the event, but I will bet you it as least has enough audio information on it to shed light on what happened. If it had nothing relevant on it or had something on it that cleared the police officer, they would have released it by now to prove Brown was in the wrong and the police officer was justified in killing him. If my son or daughter joined the police department, I wouldn't worry about them being killed by an unarmed man. The unarmed man can be subdued easily enough. I worry about hot head police officers killing my son or daughter by accident when they are unloading their weapon on an unarmed man.

    I would hope it's Ferguson's police policy to use a taser to subdue an unarmed man instead of using deadly force.

    Wow! You got everything wrong. I am impressed!

    First the officer was already injured by the perpetrator severely enough that he had to go to the hospital afterwards. Second even if you manage to run down the big bastard you still have the big problem of him already having injured and having tried to kill you once, and so the last thing you are going to do is let him get within arm's length of you a second time. As for tasers . . . they do NOT always work effectively for the reasons already stated; which is one reason why they have not replaced fire arms in this nation. I could go on and on and on but what's the point? Your reply was amusing as hell however. Thanks!

    Precisely and then afterwards the left-tilted MSM helped gin up a racial situation from it in a community already confused and angry. The entire nation WATCHED the left-tilted MSM deliberately do just that.

    Autopsy results show nothing resembling a physical altercation between Brown and the cop. Looks like the cop should get manslaughter charges at the very least.

    you're ignoring reality, there's a long history of racism in st louis

    http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/st-louis-police-chief-orders-probes-after-officer-gets-racist/article_74913370-38db-5d96-a710-4d1e9b7ca5bf.html


    we haven't seen any medical records from the alleged incident

    for all you know, the trip to the hospital was all for show or just a formality


    notice how i didn't say he was

    i said he should have rolled his window up and called for backup

    before any alleged assault

    I think it's important to ask what Mr. Brown's intentions were when he struggled in the cops car?

    How is an unarmed healthy 300 lb man who is prone to subdued "easily?"

    Do you just shout " Stop!"

    Show him your badge?

    I agree that a forensic experts can tell us more about what happened but so far no facts fave incriminated the cop.

    So the black rioting and looting and lib media attention have accomplished nothing except to destroy the neighborhood that these black people live in.

    What autopsy report on the officer are you referring to? And the only autopsy report that came out so far is the one Brown's family had done. I wouldn't put much faith in the accuracy of that information. It is a biased report paid for by the Brown family.

    of course you can't make a rational argument

    stop being ridiculous, nobody said anything about an autopsy report on the officer

    Whoa yourself. Brown KNEW he just committed strong arm robbery at a convenience store and officer Wilson didn't KNOW what Brown did. Officer Wilson may have eventually suspected him-- which in not a known fact, but the officer did not KNOW like Brown KNEW.
