I kind of just want this situation to blow over and die.
Because there are kids who come on this site and staff asked you to.

also did you seriously just compare a case of human rights violation, authority abuse, and etc to being nicely asked to not say something online?

no, I don't think so.
I'm sure the parents of the dead kids wish the cops would stop shooting unarmed citizens too :/

THIS
My parents are complaining about how Wilson no longer has a job 'and his life is ruined.' Like, please shut up mom and dad. At least he has a LIFE, so many people's lives has been taken for no reason.
I feel for the parents. I really do. Hopefully this catastrophe gets resolved soon and the guilty parties are brought to justice.
I'll admit I kinda feel this way too, but at the same time its just allowing history to repeat itself.

There is always two side's to a story:
I have been watching the news and it has been said that the person who got shot (something Brown) attacked first using his fist. The officer had every right to shoot at him for he was defending himself.
It is really stupid how people in Ferguson are reacting by burning police stations and vandalism. A african-american cop could shoot a white person and I hope that we wouldn't react like how the people in Ferguson are. I to was a little upset but here where I live we riot by singing songs in the downtown part of out state and holding signs.

Didn't he shoot him multiple times though? Sure he has every right to defend himself, but as a police officer, shouldn't he be equipped with the skills to handle something like that without using excessive force?
again, no
officer's as far as I'm aware are meant to be trained to deal with unarmed and violent individuals without having to resort to firearms (especially when they're in clsoe proximity), and if he seriously had to whip out the gun then he was unquestionably a ****ty excuse of a cop

People wouldn't react this way because if it was a black cop, he would probably get convicted. No questions asked. :|
Lets not start with "if this" and "if that" though. Lets look at the matter at hand.

I agree.
Honestly, since self-defense argument has been brought up a lot, I'd like to pose a question to everyone. Though specifically for people that have brought up this argument.
Do you think if someone punched you and your response was shooting them, that you'd get off scot-free?
Now let me follow this up with another question.
Do you think an officer of the law should be above this?

He was not simply punched. You're leaving something out.. What if the person violently assaulted you and then tried to grab your gun? would u fear for your life or nah?
this part was confirmed by evidence
if someone was being violent towards me and then tried to take my gun, i would fire it and think "oh poo poo, this person is gonna try to to shoot me"
here r some articles about the forensic evidence. they went all CSI on it.

until it's proven that the court hearing wasn't a biased sham, I'm taking everything in it with a grain of salt
and so what if he attempted to grab it? that still doesn't justify murder

Basically this for everyone saying "he tried to grab the gun" or something along those lines.

if someone was beating me up and then tried to grab my gun, I would think "oh frick i am about to get shot"
the whole situation is sad. I don't justify any of it, but just being real that would be my reaction too.

lol it's innocent until proven guilty, not "guilty until proven innocent" in the USA. how are you going to prove a negative here. we all just believe what we feel emotionally in this case. the court case was about finding evidence, not feelings.
Because multiple other sources as well as this case's entire history supports that the hearing was biased from the start, and just done to put on a show.
Plus I think there was also things in exactly how the hearing was handled? Though I'll let someone else confirm/deny that if possible.
In which case if this does turn out to be a shame like I think it is, let me also remind you that court hearings are meant to be fair to all involved.
