Ferguson

@robertklemko
The mobilization and aggression of police was exponentially larger tonight. No more tolerance, apparently.

Whoa pretty intense to see Klemko's timeline including an arrest and release.

And now this

Ferguson, Mo., teen Michael Brown shot 6 times, mostly from distance, private autopsy finds - @nytimes http://t.co/Yf2vhFQfvy

People were recording the scene with their cell phone right after Brown was shot, and they now have audio of witnesses talking about how Brown charged after the cop.

Brown was not shot in the back.

Officer seemed to have sustained quite a few injuries.

Go figure the guy that received a service award for how he conducted himself on the job is a little more trustworthy than the guy stealing cigars from the store. Go figure a poor, high crime community lacks objective and unbiased people.

Go figure a bunch of racists immediately condemned the cop for murdering, slaying, etc because of the color of his skin. Go figure those same people will never understand that **they** are the racists they claim to be fighting against.

The Governor has called in the National Guard - something many people called for almost a week ago. Glad it's taken a week to get a clue about how to handle the situation.

More people being shot - not by police but by criminals using the protest and mayhem to cover their crimes.

People still think the police presence was heave handed, eh? Where's the accountability for the media? They're the ones that made the narrative and ran with it, they're the ones that put pressure on the authorities to cut down their presence.

Oh, that's right. There is no more accountability these days. Everyone gets to tell everyone else what to do with no punishment for being wrong.

And still amazing how 2 people look at facts and events and still see completely different narratives and stories. Last night police had a guy on the ground zip tied and maced his face in front of a reporter. That's not heavy handed?

autopsy said shot at a distance which wouldnt support shot close while wrestling for an officer's gun.

I don't know anything about that story - if it is as you describe, sure it seems heavy handed to mace someone after they're restrained...

That has nothing to do with anything I said in my last post though. Individual actions of cops being heavy handed has nothing to do with the demands of many for the police to scale back their show of force, or the ridiculing those people were doing, and how it directly related to more citizen-on-citizen crime, including shootings.

Nope, but it does go along with the audio heard from supposed witnesses immediately after the shooting that was recently released.

I agree ,I didn't think there was a dispute with that .My question is about the reports that Brown and someone else had pushed the cop back into the patrol car and were fighting for his(cops) gun when a shot went off ?

Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source | Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/20/missouri-cop-was-badly-beaten-before-shooting-michael-brown-says-source/)

What's more interesting than this info is the fact that as of 3:20pm today CNN is choosing not to put this info on the top of its website, instead focusing on an article an officer from LAPD wrote and the public response to that.....CNN is doing nothing but fanning the flames of racism during this complete tragedy for all involved.
