Sure, a 94% white police force in a 71% black community is just coincidence, well within a normal statistical margin of error.

Sure.

If you know anything about police careers, pay in suburbs, qualified applicants and department transition over time.

Perhaps it's true.

Perhaps Brown hit him hard in the face, if so. Or perhaps Wilson banged his head on something. Maybe Brown contributed to the injury in that case, or maybe not. In any event, I always considered it not at all impossible that the first shot was justified.

I'm somewhat less sure about the fire as Brown was fleeing.

According to some that heard from someone that he was fleeing, or surrendering with his hands up, or helping old ladies cross the street, or buying flowers for his mother, or something.
Me, I think he was probably doing something consistent to the guy in the vid. That's the one thing in this besides his demise one can take on appearances.

Who knows. It's hard to tell without seeing it happen in person as even witness stories vary.

Breaking someone's eye socket would damage the guilty fist.

Where the bullets entered the body is determinable.

The autopsy results are going to be interesting.

In a nod to many, the Fergie cops sure screwed the pooch on this, even if it turns out they were justified. I'd expect heads are going to roll when this is over regardless of fault.
