I can agree with this. There's loads of people I don't like. Doesn't make me a racist, profiler, or anything along those lines. When it comes down to this case it's all about why the supporters are supporting him.

I agree with this as well, It's mostly the reasons why and the barrage of derogatory terms people on twitter and tumblr use when defending Darren that bother most people.

I'm going to abandon this thread now, but to clear, I do not support wilson for the same reasons you oppose him. If I were, than I would be a racist. But I'm not a racist. I don't think racists should be given any respect. But I don't think all cops are enemies either. Maybe the issue was a misunderstanding.
No one claimed -all- cops are enemies though. Cops are people and as people they're susceptible to the same things the rest of us are, discrimination. If cops were robocop we wouldn't be having this discussion, but even robocop was half human.
I know what he said, but you're jumping to conclusions and that helps no body.
Source? This is interesting.
And we never will. Read what was presented in court, not random sites..
Likewise.

what the ****
Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure most people here aren't singling out all cops as bad either.
It's focusing on corruption in the force, but only because that's what needs to be focused on.
Me personally, as a baseline I have plenty of respect for officers and anyone else in a similar line of work. Due to knowing the constant **** they have to deal with, in addition to the fact that they're willingly putting themselves at lethal risk on a daily basis (potentially quite literally, depending on the area they're assigned to). But at the same time, the more respect I have for someone, and especially for reasons such as what they're meant to do, the easier it is to lose that respect.
The Ferguson Police Department has just shown themselves to be unworthy of acting as officers to me, and there's surely other officers at other stations that also don't deserve their title, but applying this mindset to all officers is just downright insulting to those that genuinely mean to help protect civilians. Especially those that had actually died on duty attempting to do just that.

Agreed. For some reason some people are under the notion that every cop is some evil trigger happy racist, when that isn't the case at all.

robocop is the cop we need, but not the cop we deserve

Of course not all cops, prosecutors, etc. are racist; people are just fed up with the cops who are racist getting away with what they've done.
If anything can be taken away from cases like these, it is that our justice system is badly in need of repair.

So if you're ever in a situation where you absolutely have to fight somebody else to the death to save the life of another, say for example a home invasion, you'd let them die or you feel you are literal scum? Killing is awful sure, but simply labeling all people who have killed as the scum of the earth isn't right.
Also somebody mentioned something about why not taze him instead I believe? Kinda relevant link unless you believe all Police Officers are pigs: here

Perhaps not credible sources, but they give insight into some matters.
There's also still a federal inquiry into Darren Wilson so something still can happen: Link

I thought they were thinking of taking the grand jury to Missouri's Supreme Court? I'm not too sure on how that works, but since there wasn't any actual trial, I thought they could do that.

True, but it can still bring about changes with the way that Ferguson PD operates to lead to hopefully less dependence on racial profiling.
Yep. It's considered unconstitutional to hold a trial for the same thing twice, and forensic evidence found she killed her daughter and burred her outside her parents house in Winter Park, FL. This was all found out after the trial ended and a jury came to a verdict, so nothing came of it besides the woman having to go into hiding and having half of WPK out for her blood. When I lived there I remember people at the gas station talking about going to the neighborhood and destroying houses to find her.
Maybe. It's probably best to assume at this point the entire PD needs to be flushed and a psych profile performed on new officers going in like in most states.
