Its been awhile since I saw the video of Brown assaulting/battering him during the robbery but is it not the same guy from above?

Did you see any republicans/conservatives out there last night looting, shooting, throwing moltov cocktails and/or otherwise destroying some one else's property? The irony of all of this is there is NOT a single Republican involved in this story (unless Wilson is a republican). The prosecutor - Democrat - mayor - Democrat - Govenor - Democrat - President - Democrat - Attorney General - Democrat. It's basically a look into a significant portion of the Democratic party in many ways the people out there last night acting like animals are the Democrats base voter.

It's a red/blue thing because virtually everything is in the country now. The country is divided perhaps the most since the Civil War. That's not hyperbole it is just a fact. The left/right agree on virtually nothing so anytime there is a "major story" you are going to see a partisan divide.

Why are we even arguing? Unless you are black in America, you can't understand. And you don't have to understand.

You have made it well known here how you vote. While the term "equivalent" was not used in your post you are the one the drew in internet posts (in comparison it appears) to the actual riots as to making Americans seem "uncivilized". If I have misinterpreted your post please clarify how words compare to actions on the "civility" spectrum.

Come on SC you and I both know that as white conservative republicans we just have to ACCEPT that SOME liberal African-Americans are ENTITLED to destroy other African-Americans' property if the race baitors raise holy hell and do not get their way because the FACTS do not support their concocted/false story.

white privelige means you can walk down the street w/o being stopped and frisked, white privelige means you can put your name on a resume and not get judged for your name, white privelige means you get the benefit of the doubt. not hard to understand

He needed to use deadly force...

Too bad that picture doesn't prove or disprove anything. Nice try though.

Actually, my bad. It does prove ONE thing. Brown DID physically assault Wilson.

I was about to say actually it proves assault/battery of a police officer. In other words, Brown had committed at least 2 crimes in a span of a few minutes.

The most DAMNING evidence against Brown was: (1) physical evidence proving he had his hands on the gun; (2) the 6 African-American witnesses who backed Wilson's testimony that Brown was running towards him when shot.

You clearly haven't spent any time in law enforcement or known people closely that have.

But you know, these guys didn't have to kill anyone either:

And obviously you would always make the right split second decision when interacting with a random person:

Especially one that was trying to rush you.....

I don't think you'll find a single Democrat that condones what happened. I also doubt that the people looting and burning are the same people running out to vote on election days. You're making blanket statements as if the Democrats, from Obama down to the common man, are all about grabbing pitchforks and raiding the castle.

Smh. You're just as close-minded as those on TV, completely ignoring the evidence and facts and choosing to keep your heads in the clouds so it doesn't destroy your fantasy world.
