Where Is The Outrage? I'm not sure if you mean outrage by average citizens or the family of the girl. Outrage on how the incident tool place or ?????

If you were expecting the town to demonstrate some outrage, well.............guess some people just know how to act right.

At least there was a grand jury for this incident.

At least there was an indictment, as there should have been.

No there wasn't.

Ahh, I see your edit.

Why wouldn't there be a grand jury decision?

Bigotry is believing all black people hate the police as Joselyn has implied above. The "they" she is talking about are the black witnesses to the Brown murder.

Erm, no. Wrong again.

I don't even know the races of the people who lied about what they saw. And there are plenty of WHITE people who think that the police just want to shoot black people.

I DO know there are black witnesses who say that Officer Wilson's account is correct. So your comment makes zero sense. Good try. *slow clap*

Sure. You assumed the black witnesses who did not know Michael Brown lied because they hate the police.

Your words.

I assumed the (no color) witnesses who lied did so because they hate the police. Don't put words in my mouth, honey.

There have been conflicting witness accounts, not including the friend. I listened to an interview last month on the radio from someone who had examined the autopsy report. He said the evidence could point in either direction. It's not clear cut. Sorry I don't remember his name. I was in my car.

It's normal for eye witnesses to have some differences and some mistakes. But to say that he was running away when he was shot is CLEARLY a lie. Why on earth should we believe anything else these lying witnesses say?

As I said, the man I listened to on the radio said it isn't clear cut that it happened the way you believe from information you have used to form your opinion. He said it really comes down to the Grand Jury, and their interpretation, because both accounts are plausible, according to his conclusions after studying the autopsy report.

Edited to hopefully enlarge the print. I sometimes forget to use the code.
