Yeah, lynch Officer Wilson. Before the investigation had been completed you had tried and convicted Officer Wilson and found him guilty. You have consistently ignored evidence which exonerated Officer Wilson, including this recent finding by the US Department of Justice.
There hasn't been evidence that exonerated Wilson. It exonerated the State for failing in its duties towards its citizens, but not Wilson.
When did I say Turkey couldn’t “save” Kobane? I didn’t. You have created a straw man. You argued for the immediate intervention of Turkish troops because they were there. Just because troops are present, it doesn’t mean it is wise to use them. And in any case, this thread isn’t about Turkey. It is about Officer Wilson’s guilt or innocence.
Still rewriting history I see.
Well that makes for nice demagoguery, but do you have any evidence to back up that claim? No you don’t. As, I said before and have said consistently, there are well documented cases of police abuse of power. But not in recent history and not on the scale you claim, and the Brown case isn’t one of them.
Says he who keeps saying that people are trying to lynch the white guy for killing a black guy..
Not to mention that you keep referring to him as "Officer" when he resigned as a police officer. Who do you think you are fooling here?
Link was provided. Before you get yourself into a lather claiming that Wilson was being lynched for killing an unarmed black kid, perhaps you could read it.
The fact is The Department of Justice (DOJ) found Officer Wilson innocent.
No it didn't.
They said they would not prosecute. Not prosecuting does not make them innocent. Just means they are not going to be prosecuted. The man who raped me was not prosecuted. Did not make him innocent. Just meant they were not going to prosecute.
The DOJ specifically exonerated Officer Wilson and in excruciating detail. Just because the Ferguson Police Department was found guilty of racial discrimination, it doesn’t mean Officer Wilson murdered Brown as you have asserted since day one.
Are you aware that the only people saying Wilson was exonerated by the DoJ are the racist right wing sites and Fox News?
Google it, it's hysterical just how much you are falling into that right wing bigoted and white supremacist bullshit.
They didn't exonerate him. They just did not charge him.
So are Attorney General Holder and President Obama prejudice against their own race? They are both black men. Do you think they are racists too?
Beg yours?
Really?
This is your fallback?
Because the investigation and report which exonerates Officer Wilson was completed and written by people who work under their direction and control.
You are actually saying that black people did not charge him, so he must be innocent...
What kind of racist bullshit are you into Joe?
Do you know what exonerate means? Or is this the same as you thinking that "lather" meant laughter?
When you exonerate someone, it means they are absolved from any blame, that they literally did nothing wrong. The reason the DoJ did not prosecute Wilson is because there was not enough evidence to prosecute him. The DoJ did not exonerate Wilson. They just did not charge him. There is a massive difference.
Yeah, an unarmed young man was shot dead. But news flash Bells, people have been killing people long before firearms. People have been killing people with and without weapons since the dawn of mankind.
Yes, and white people have been killing black men and not been charged or prosecuted for their crimes in the US for centuries Joe. All of this is just normal in the States. Hence why police departments like Ferguson is so racist in and of itself. It breeds racism and thus, if police officers are racist, they fit right in. For people who believe in people like Wilson, he was simply following what is the usual case in such departments. Young black men are being shot dead by police all the time. This is what happens. This is normal in such departments. And as we always knew, nothing would happen to Wilson for it. His incompetence, his lack of training which resulted in confrontation with Brown.. He was taught to be afraid of black people. Because to him, talking to black people has to involve yelling and swearing at them right from the get go. His tone was confrontational. His approach was directly confrontational. Once again, this is how the police view black people, and how police in racist departments like Ferguson's police department generally behave around black people.
And yes one person lied on the witness stand to support Officer Wilson’s account and was a racist. And multiple witnesses lied on the stand to indict Officer Wilson. People lie on both sides, but most witnesses support Officer Wilson’s account. All credible witnesses support Officer Wilson’s account, and more importantly, so does the physical evidence. You focus so much on one racist who lied to support Officer Wilson and ignore multiple wittneses who lied to indict Officer Wilson.
The fact that you think that lying to the grand jury is acceptable and something that can be defended says it all.
Ad hominem really isn’t a convincing argument. So are Attorney General Holder and President Obama racists too because both they and I have reached the same conclusions in this case? Attorney General Holder and President Obama are both “black people”.
Do you understand how racist your argument actually is?
Here is one of the things you leave out of your narrative, Brown and Johnson weren’t just walking down the street. They were walking down the middle of the street presenting a public safety hazard and violating the law.
And thus deserved to be shot?
That’s why Officer Wilson initially engaged them. Officer Wilson found Brown actively engaged in a violation of the law and creating a public safety hazard. Brown subsequently assaulted Officer Wilson and attempted to get Officer Wilson’s gun. Those are among the inconvenient details you are leaving out. The picture your painting of Brown isn’t as innocent as you would have it be. At some point facts and reason need to account for something.
No one left it out.
What you fail to notice is that Wilson turned something that should have been simple into a shooting. He was incapable of deescalating conflict that he caused.
One racist bigot lied before the grand jury in order to support Officer Wilson, multiple witnesses lied in order to indict Officer Wilson. It is telling you focus so much on one discredited witness and ignore the other discredited witnesses. Unfortunately, this case has become a cause célèbre for racists of every sort and of every color. Grand jurors saw all the evidence, they heard all the witnesses and they evaluated all the evidence. They made a decision you didn’t like. The Department of Justice independently investigated the case and came to similar conclusions. There is ample evidence; you just don’t like the conclusions because those conclusions are not consistent with your beliefs. It is good and a testimony to the US system of justice that truth and reason ultimately prevailed in this case.
The grand jury were fed incorrect information and the prosecutor gave them the wrong legislation and let that incorrect and absolutely contradictory legislation taint the well, so to speak. Not to mention allowed people to lie to the grand jury knowingly, invited one to come back and lie some more and provide fake "evidence", then acted as though they were Wilson's defense lawyers.
They made a decision that they were going to make because of what the prosecutor fed them. And that was the issue. I get that you don't see just how bad that was.
Everything about that grand jury hearing was a farce. But then it was always going to be from a prosecutor who had an axe to grind. It was to be expected. Everyone knew what the outcome was going to be from the get go. Why? Because in departments like Ferguson, this is the sort of shit that is acceptable.
