How can you say the issue wasn't about race/ You don't know if he would have acted different if it was a white persson involved. And that police department which is largely white has a racial skew to it's arrest records. I'm not saying Wilson is a racist, I don't know him personally, but the criminal (in)justice system is massively skewed against black people. That's a fact you cannot deny.
Zito what statistics can you show that support your views about the criminal justice system are skewed against black people?
I'm a statisical guy. I want the cold hard facts
Someone committed a crime. A police officer eventually questioned him about it. The perpetrator attacked the officer and got shot. The perp ran away with the cop pursuing (as he should). The perp turned back around and was orderred to freeze but decided to charge the cop. The cop then had to make a decision based on facts known to him at the time whether his life was in danger. He determined his life was in danger and decided to protect himself. There is no issue of race in what happened.
If Brown surrendered or never committed the original crime in the first place he would be alive today.
LMAO Brown was walking in the middle of a street. Yeah that's worth a cops time hahahahahaha
Guess you can't find any.
I've been questioned by a cop in my life when I was walking in the middle of the street as a young person.
And you don't thinkthat there's something wrong with that type of cop behavior? Well, I guess to each there own.
I'm pretty sure you are legally not supposed to be walking in the middle of the street.

And cops don't have better **** to do than harass kids in the middle of a dead street. It's ok to leave his body there for 4 hours but don't let him walk down it!
Guess they do in Zitos neighborhood.
Thethe, when the cop questioned you when you were walking in the middle of the street did you give him an attitude or treat him with respect?
LMAO Brown was walking in the middle of a street. Yeah that's worth a cops time hahahahahaha
Assault\Theft worth his time?
According to the Ferguson Chief, Wilson did not know or think the 2 were related, he approached them from walking down the middle of the street.
what Zito doesn't get is that Brown would still be alive if he didn't walk down the middle of the road.
Officer Wilson responded to the theft/robbery. On his way there he noticed Brown walking down the middle of the road. Wilson said something to Brown than saw the cigars and put two and two together.
So if Brown would had obeyed the laws about not walking down the middle of the street, Wilson would had never saw him
That was initially, but as he drove past, he saw him holding the stolen property. They were holding up traffic and he noticed the cigars in hand...
