It's way bigger than the Michael Brown shooting.

That was just the straw that broke the Camels back and released the pent up anger caused by decades of Police abuse against the black communities in this country. And as much as you and your buddy Zeke would like to pretend it's going to go away, it's not.

And here's the point you don't get: Nor should they be.

A robber assaults an officer, placing him in fear of his life, and gets killed.

Citizens shouldn't "profit," they should just cease assaulting officers.

I never once have contended that police brutality isn't a problem/issue. However, from the beginning I have said that the use of the Michael Brown case to make this point is probably counterproductive (i.e., Wilson's innocence provides an easy way for those who don't believe in police brutality to dismiss it out of hand.)

As usual, you missed my point.

But Wilson did to the tune of what, three quarter mil? So was Wilson already a non-citizen then since we know that he no longer is of Ferguson? Your common sense seems to be diminishing by the post. May want to rethink before you post.

Imagine, Wilson killed Brown in a county where most make minimum wage and then he gets paid for doing one interview an amount of money that some of these people cannot even count that high. And what is it that you want to tell them again, oh! behave and obey the law? Sure. Then why have cops at all?

Who says Wilson is innocent?

And yet you accept the legal decision and exonerate the system that proclaimed that Wilson shot and killed Brown in self defense! Wow.

Innocent until proven guilty (which he wasn't).

Read this entire article and then try to convince me that a preponderance of evidence supported an indictment.
