Re: Mike Brown Deserved to Die? Shortly after shooting, Witness backs officer story F
Can we just admit that we believe what we want to believe. All of these witness testimonies are different. Not to say these people are not telling the truth, but we have to piece these all stories together to get the big picture. Details are going to be omitted to protect ones opinions.
The truest statement in the thread. Critical thinkers they are not.
A critical thinker has the ability to change their opinion, based on new facts.
The Mike Brown faction can't admit that he did in fact commit a robbery.
The pro cop faction can't admit that just because he committed a robbery, he didn't deserve to be shot dead in the street.
The video clearly shows a robbery took place. Using force to commit a theft is robbery. Period. Failing to concede that a robbery occurred weakens one's stance on the other points they are trying to make. And not only did he push the man with force, but he clearly used his size to threaten more force when he advanced on the man again. That is robbery folk.
Dorian wasn't charged because his statement absolved him of liability for the robbery. He told the authorities that when MB tried to hand him the cigars he wouldn't take them and told MB that he doesn't do that...he doesn't steal. The video confirms that. That is why he wasn't charged, pure and simple.
I believe Dorian when he said the cop rolled up on them and said, "get the fuck on the sidewalk".
At this time the cop sees the cigars and realizes these guys may have been involved in the robbery that was broadcast over the radio.
I believe Dorian when he says the cop is so close to them that when he tries to open his door, it can't open because they are so close. The cop probably tried to grab one of them through the window and that was probably MB. At this point Dorian is in the wind.
Ain't no way an officer is supposed to grab someone through the window. I don't believe no way no how that MB went for that officer's gun. Standard cop bullshit protocol lie to justify murder.
MB probably just jerked his arm away and took off running.
Now asshole cop syndrome kicks in. These kids obviously lived in the area. No weapons were alleged to have been involved in the robbery. Why not get your ass back into the car and get on the radio and give a description of a suspect running? Instead he gets his mad and angry ass out the car and starts busting????
Ain't no justification for that.
When MB turns around, he is giving up. He ain't charging, he is quitting.
