I don't completey disagree with this but I think some information was incomplete. See below.
I think you missed exactly what i said - that once they found that the first shot was close range and had Brown had gun powder residue on Brown the grand jury was going to clear the officer.
You said "With that said I'm not surprised with the grand jury outcome because once they had evidence first shot was inside car at close range it was over."
Exceot for that proving nothing. Browns blood, the gun powder residue on his hand around the wound and Browns blood on the officers clothing cinched the case. You don't discover all that on the side of the road. That's why we have crime labs, medical examiners, etc. (Yes I watched Quincy :tongue: )
No sort of tussle /altercation with an officer will result in a good outcome for the citizen, regardless of the race. Absolutely correct!
With that said i dont carry enough baggage to celebrate the death of another person or minimize the fact that certain groups of people have different encounters with officers than i do. I've personally witnessed different groups of people receive radically different treatment based on income levels or perceived status in the community. Heck even between my wife and myself she receives much more officer 'discretion' during speeding stops that i ever have. I even know groups of women at work who openly celebrate getting out of numerous speeding tickets by batting their eyes and making up b.s. excuses. So to think that this type of discretion doesn't happen doesnt happen in other encounters all across the country every day - shows total lack of intelligence.
