Ferguson P3

Ferguson Part 3
Here I am going to simply continue supporting my opinions and beliefs regarding the Michael Brown case in Ferguson. If you haven’t read Part 1 and 2, please do so before reading this one.
For any of those under the impression that Brown was not fleeing from Wilson when he was shot, Wilson confirms, on page 281 of the testimony, that Brown WAS fleeing when receiving the fatal bullet.  
For any of those who are under the impression that Brown was attempting to take the gun when shot at least one time, the autopsy report states that no gunpowder was present on Brown’s body. Therefore, he was not shot at close range.
The amount of protocols broken is absolutely astounding.
Ferguson Police ignored protocol and refused to interview or take a statement from the eyewitness present from Wilson’s initial contact with Brown, until his death.
Forensic examiner broke protocol by failing to take crime scene photos. On page 95 of the grand jury transcript, she claims that her camera had died. BUT she goes on to describe how she immediately followed Wilson to the hospital in order to photograph his “injuries.” Please, if you haven’t seen the “injury” photos, go google them. What passes for an injury these days according to the law is pathetic. They speak for themselves.
Then the investigators broke protocol by failing to test Wilson’s gun for fingerprints since Wilson claims that Brown grabbed his gun and caused it to misfire. Page 39.
THEN Wilson was allowed to break protocol by washing blood off of himself BEFORE it could be photographed. There goes any attempt to analyze blood spatter patterns to determine position, but I guess that isn’t important to the situation, right?
For now, that’s all I’m going to say. I’ll most likely be back next week with more defensive evidence for Mike Brown.

Ferguson Part 2
Here I am going to simply continue supporting my opinions and beliefs regarding the Michael Brown case in Ferguson. If you haven’t read Part 1, please do so before reading this one.

Did Wilson have the right to shoot Mike Brown. I know that I said I didn’t think so, but in reality I am 100% certain there was no reason for a gun to be involved at all.
Firstly, Mike Brown and Darren Wilson are the same size. In the grand jury transcript, page 198, Wilson states that he is 6 ft. 4 and weighs 210lbs, roughly the same size as Brown. That immediately defeats the possible argument of “Well maybe the officer needed it in order to ‘level’ the odds.” I have had that said to me in a conversation regarding this event, and I cannot even fathom that it was said at all. A gun in our reality doesn’t “level” anything unless there is a gun pointed at someone. A gun should be the absolute last resort, not as a means of evening out a situation.
For whatever reason, Brown started fleeing. Unsure of why, if was a valid reason, I cannot say. For the purpose of me being able to defeat any point a supporter of Darren Wilson could have to this, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that Brown just started running, giving him a reason to stop him (fleeing from a police officer).
Wilson broke police self-defense protocol. It teaches to disarm and incapacitate the target rather than kill them, as well as teaching officers to go for body shots. Wilson shot Mike Brown twice in the head, after shooting him four times in his arm and torso.

Seriously? Do I even need to explain how I feel about this? Wilson you shot a man, who was unarmed, as he was running away from you. That is already pretty bad, but not only that, you break the self-defense protocol which should have been you’re only mean of defense in court.

Ferguson P1

Ferguson Part 1

If you haven’t heard of what happened in Ferguson, Missouri regarding Michael Brown – you must live under a rock. I have nothing more to say about that.
So I’m going to express my views briefly here. It is in my opinion that this entire situation shouldn’t have happened, and the confrontation was purely because of race. There is no doubt in my mind at all that this is entirely because Wilson is racist. Extremely so.  Did he have the right to shoot Mike – I don’t think so, and I’ll explain my thoughts later in the post.  Was the Grand Jury’s decision right? With the evidence given to them, partially. I believe that Darren Wilson should not have gotten off basically scot-free. In no world is that the answer to a situation like this. I also don’t think that any of the attention that the media has given the whole ordeal is in the right.
“The confrontation was purely because of race.” I will stand by this statement with my life.
The previous police department that Officer Wilson worked for was disbanded from multiple instances of racial profiling.

There’s the evidence that at the very least Wilson was surrounded by racists, if he himself wasn’t also racist, which he probably was, although I cannot prove that his previous precinct caused that.
Mike wasn’t stopped because of suspect for a crime, that’s not true at all. He was stopped for jaywalking with his friend. This can be seen in the Grand Jury testimony of Darren Wilson, page 208 (link at the bottom). Let’s be real here, what cop honestly will stop someone for jaywalking. I’m 100% certain everyone in the United States has, or will, jaywalk. That is virtually undeniable; people do it all the time.  So why would Darren Wilson choose to stop Mike and his friend for jaywalking? My belief is because Wilson just wanted a reason to give Mike a hard time, or in other words: Wilson was looking to express his racism.
