Not yet pal, but keep trying, you might get lucky.
Who is even trying?

But anyone who condones rioting is not operating from a position of intellectual strength.

Once again, let's see what the official report says before rushing to judgment in Ferguson.

Peace, Bob

Has the idea crossed our minds yet that the official report may be being used by the D.A. right now to prove probable cause? In other words Bob, you should tell us to wait for Wilson's private lawyer to release some information about his client, not the Police Department.

that is total bullshit and you know it. I think people want a transparent process to make sure that justice is served. By the way Brown only had THC in system, not PCP.
