"Oh please. it was a tragic event where two people made mistakes."

Maybe he used the Chewbacca Defense. We really don't know what went on in that grand jury, after all; we haven't heard all that awesome evidence like they did.

SERIOUSLY. I'm going all Atticus Finch on this—how the hell did Wilson get hit on the right side of the face when Brown came up to the driver's side window? It's so superficial and in such a convenient spot too—not the nose, mouth or eye—that I'm convinced Wilson just punched himself in the jaw to make it look like he…

Oh god, my mother. Both this and the Trayvon Martin case. "Well we just don't know so I can't judge." But the minute I try to fill her in it's all "I'm just so sick of hearing about it". Cool, ma.

Also, don't forget that he expanded in size, grew four more arms, and caught fire.

Clearly, Brown slapped him so hard the bruise traveled to the other side of his face, but not so hard that it made it all the way there, leaving only some slight redness. Just another example of black people have magic superpowers.

Wha-wwhhhaaat? Jesus. You horrible shitbag. You wouldn't even TRY to find an alternate solution which allowed a young man to oh, I don't know, not get shot more than a half dozen times? Motherfucker. Holy shit. I...Die in a fire.

Even if this killing was justifiable (which we all in this forum know was not) but even if that was the case he should at least pretend that he feels bad. Your conscience is clean? Really? Well good for you. Someone's child is dead. I hope your clean conscience keeps you cool when you're burning in hell.

"he would not do anything different that day," that "he did what he was trained to do, he was simply doing his job."

Who fabricated the orbital bone being broken? I mean if that came from the department as some kind of official statement, how is no one accountable? Or was that "skillfully leaked" to a reporter?

that's one of the MAJOR ISSUES with this case. like fuck, if he went to trial, i would feel a lot better. just a trial. this wasn't even proving or disproving guilt. just a goddamn trial.

"We don't know what happened"

I think the same thing about this guy that I did about George Zimmerman. In both cases there was a point where they could have made a decision to stop, but didn't. Brown was walking away from the car, but instead of calling for back up and waiting five minutes, he decided to pull his gun and force Brown to comply. And…

Including arresting Skip Gates as he was entering his own home. I am a white woman married to a black man. I've literally seen it all, including my husband being pulled out of line in airports, pulled over for driving while black, accused of running drugs, being questioned for hours at border crossings, having him…

Yeah. What's remarkable is that, even if you take Darren Wilson's own lengthy, messy, inconsistent, at-points-totally-implausible grand jury testimony at absolute face value and think he's 100% telling the truth — like, even if you read Wilson's story and believe that Mike Brown would reach for his waistband multiple…

It really is. Reminds me a bit of a comment someone made here after some asshat wrote an article blaming feminism for the Sandy Hook shooting, because no one would have been killed if there had been MEN on campus instead of all those useless women: "There was a man there. He was the one shooting all the children."

my mom was all WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED and i am all IDK I KINDA THINK WE DO THAT KID IS DEAD SO

Let's consider the following:

There's only one person in this mess whose life is over, and Darren Wilson shot him.
