so by this logic, policies like stop and frisk are just imaginary

black people have nothing to fear from white cops, because they "might not" kill us on sight

but instead we need to fear each other.  then you wonder why those numbers are they way they are

i hate when ppl try to control the conversation, telling what you what you know and what you feel, or rather how you should feel

An unarmed white kid was gunned down in Utah by a black cop just a few days after the Mike Brown shooting, tho.

They happen, you just don't hear about it because that story won't cause a media frenzy.

Cop was wearing a body cam, the shooting was ruled out as justified. Cop wasn't black, media was just itchin' for a story... was it? idk... and people weren't as interested but there was clear video of this incident

Just some facts:
The 2013 FBI Uniform Crime Report, a compilation of annual crime statistics

The danger to a black child in America is not a white police officer.

90 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders;
83 percent of white victims were killed by white offenders;
The report found most murders were intraracial, committed by friends or acquaintances of the victim.

I wish all this energy, passion and attention were brought to a more worthy cause. In my opinion, on the preventative measures and prison system in America. Those are such bigger issues than any possible "race" issue this is (and i personally believe this wasn't a race issue, rather a stupid victim and a shook/angry/power-tripping/short-sighted cop).

Justice may not be an important issue to you but it is to many other people.

How come nobody goes in the school shooting threads or 9/11 rememberence threads and says there are more important issues?

1. We don't even have accurate statistics on how many people police officers kill. link

2. Police officers who are charged to serve and protect and have the power to take life are supposed to be held to a higher standard than the general public.

3. More worthy?

You think the people have been rioting in Ferguson because of this individual case? St Louis is one of the most segregated cities in America. Have you taken a look at the police profiling statistics in St Louis? This goes DEEP.

Cops have been killing black people in spectacular and horrible ways for a long time, were their riots for John Crawford?, Oscar Grant? ect ect

MLK: "riots are massive temper tantrums from a neglected and voiceless people"

If you think all this "effort" is the result simply the result of this one case rather than the day to day indignities black people face in America I don't know what to say to you.

I am all about justice - i simply think there is more justice in fixing the problems of society than focusing this sort of energy on this one incident.

So to you is this case more important than the situation where those two innocent black men were released after 39 years of false imprisonment? I would rather focus this energy on getting politicians and cops to check old cases now that dna is easy to test. Instead the justice system drags their feet and simply doesnt care.

This is why you have a trial with cross examination to sort it all out. The system failed. There was enough evidence for a trial.

I'm sorry but you're wrong. That's not how the system works. There was not enough evidence to show that Wilson was out of line in using deadly force.
 
When you have witnesses as every day citizens making statements to the media immediately after a major event when tensions and emotions are high, you will get inconsistencies in their stories. Compared to an officer, that leaves and contacts a lawyer and the FOP immediately, makes no statements, has time to get his story straight and has his lawyer and the FOP to "help" him recall the events that happened.
Then you have a prosecutor (Robert McCulloch) who's father was shot and killed on duty by a black man when he was 12yo. He then pushes the case to a secret grand jury decision with some of the worst examples of cross examination towards Wilson I have ever seen. So bad, Wilson himself asked why didnt they ask him certain questions.
With all that said, how can you expect a fair decision?
There was a plan for no indicment even before evidence was presented.
This is McCulloch revenge for what happened to his father. If we had a prosecutor who had a father who was wrongfully killed by police. Then we would see which way the case would go

Bruh it's not solely about "black life". Any 12 year old for that matter who wields a gun with the perceive intent to commit serious bodily harm or death is a threat. Man I've seen children, 8-9 year olds in Iraq that will smile in your face then slit your throat. This notion that because someone is young and innocent and should be looked at as a helpless baby when they could kill you is not something restricted to OUR black community.

Then find me something, anything, that shows me a white kid getting killed by police for waving around a toy gun and I'll gladly shut up. Because just this year OUR young, black men are 0-2 when carrying a toy gun.

It was only "inconsistent" because it didn't fit McCulloughs narrative.

Both versions fit physical evidence yet McCullough only accepts the version that he wanted as truth.

2 WHITE construction workers said his hands were up. Why weren't they subpoenaed to testify?

And you do realize that NO ONE sees ANYTHING the same right?

There's inconsistencies on the football field that are reviewed because we ALL SEE DIFFERENTLY. Perception is a unique thing to each individual.

@ dudes fishing for stories of black cops killing white kids in an attempt to prove that it happens just as much as the opposite. 

Did you clowns run to google and put in "black cop shoots white kid"?

You don't argue with a cop pointing a gun at you. He was boppin' like he didn't see that glock drawn and another cop in his peripheral, also has his gun drawn. He should've STOPPED, COMPLIED, SLOWLY GOT ON THE GROUND WITH HIS HANDS OUT.

He seems more concerned with swag than actually complying with the officers. It's messed up but this should be in NO WAY compared to the Mike Brown case. Anyone who thinks so is REACHING.

This is irrelevant. The purpose of the grand jury isn't to convict, it is to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial, that's what they generally end in an indictment.
