But thats a contradiction, if you want to get away from a crime you're gonna assault a police offer over being asked to walk on the pavement and incriminate yourself even further. If anything logic would have you playing it low, just trying to get through the day without being caught.

And with that Witness they don't clarify who instigated the violence. I agree its clear Mike didn't Obey numerous instructions, theres conflicting witnesses on whether Mike Brown charged at him and not. But not to distract from the point... BODY CAMERA's, THEY NEED TO USE BODY CAMERA's lol. Its that simple.

You're assuming every criminal thinks logically/coherently.  If that were the case, Brown would've worn a mask, scoped the store for cameras etc (or, you know, found the money to purchase the things he wanted)...  Mr Brown seems like your typical dumbass teenager who made a stupid mistake (My brother made a similar error in his childhood, he didn't assault a cop, but he did do some petty B&E, and he did time for it), and then exacerbated that mistake by not obeying the officer in whatever capacity.

I 100% agree Cops should be wearing body cameras at this point, with several severe penalties attached for continuing a shift w/ a non-functioning cameras.  Checks for function prior to going on duty (there should also be an audible noise from the camera when it stops recording or something like that, maybe even a signal sent to HQ, to notify another individual of a non-functioning unit), and checks when they go off-duty.  With weekly film breakdowns of the feeds (sorta like sports film breakdown, what you did wrong, what you did right etc...).  And it should be used as a learning tool, as well as evidence whenever things like this occur.

Wilson may very well have killed Brown in cold blood, he may very well have used excessive force in a situation where it didn't warrant it.  But, I don't think the evidence was there to indict, especially given conflicting witness accounts, and changing witness stories as the physical evidence was analyzed.  I don't like seeing a murderer get away with something, but I like even less to see people arrested/convicted on bad evidence, or even worse, in the court of public opinion (How many minorities have suffered/died in prison for decades, because of bad evidence, for example).  The public is generally dumber than a box of smashed assholes.  Like we want those morons meteing out justice.

I can pretty much say this is oneof the best posts in this thread. Very well put!
