| thismeintiel said: I'm sorry, but these are some of the worst arguments I have heard in my life. The problem is too many people like judging others after they have the power of hindsight, and many times poor info they choose to believe regardless of what facts come out. We have people actually suggesting Wilson should have just "taken his beating." Didn't realize black people had the right to beat up anyone, anytime. And you can't defend yourself or you are a racist. Others suggested Wilson should have just let him run away. Again, are blacks above the law, now? They can rob a store, assualt a cop and try to go for a cops gun, and the cops should just let them go? And here you are suggesting the police should now always do police work from their car, just in case a criminal tries to rush them. Another ridiculous notion. Here are the facts, backed up by several witnesses, some of who were black. Mike Brown was a thug. He robbed a store and assaulted the clerk and an officer (and tried to go for his gun.) Then, instead of choosing to continue to run away or give himself up, he got pissed that the cop told him to stop. So, he turned around and charged the cop. The cop was afraid for his own safety, and fired at Brown. Brown died because of his own stupid actions. No sad loss of life. He chose to live his life this way, so he payed the consequences. The only ones I feel sad for are the families involved. And for Wilson, who will be labeled a racist, just for doing his job and for reacting like anyone else would have. |
What were the sad arguments? What poor info did I choose to believe over the facts? And nope I don't agree that he should have just taken his beating at all. I feel MB was very much in the wrong for assaulting an officer. Do I feel that meant he deserved to die though? Nope not at all. Who suggested that black people had the right to beat up anyone anytime and that you could not defend yourself or be a racist? Who suggested that blacks are above the law? That seems to be something only you are suggesting for whatever reason. And when did I say that police should always do police work from their car just in case a criminal tries to rush them? Tell me who said any of that other than you?
The "witnesses" mosly all had different stories both blacks and whites so how ANY of them can be considered credible INCLUDING the friend of Brown that was there is beyond me but to each his or her own I guess. He robbed a store agreed as per the video and he assaulted a cop agreed. Now we differ again a man that had already been shot and ws running away got mad because the officer told him to "stop" and because the officer told him to stop it enraged him to the poitn to where he not only stopped running away but turned around and "rushed" the officer who had a gun pointed at him that he had already been shot with? That seems realistic to you? Coming from an officer who stated that he refused to carry pepper spray or a taser for various reasons but chose to carry extra ammo clips instead? The "truth" may actually never be known because there were only two people that went through the entire ordeal and know for sure Brown and Wilson and one of them is not here to give their side....
Look I am in NO way painting Brown a Saint because he was not and what he did was wrong but no I do not feel that his actions should have led to death. I feel the officer went to far period. I do not see this as a color thing as you seem to be doing with what you said in your post my good sir. And obviously your last statement is incorrect seeing as not everyone else would have reacted like that. The legal system is broken and needs to be reworked and changes need to be made. I respect authority and should be respect by authority. They should not feel above me and I should not feel above them we are all human and deserve to be treated equally. And with that there really needs to be some changes made in law enforcement to prevent more situations like this REGARDLESS of color. Again I feel it was a sad and unnecessary loss of life and you don't that's fine.
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
