Why does it say the officer jumped on the roof of her car at the beginning of the article and later it states the hood?

The evidence report states tire marks on right boot.

Ever hear of steel toed boots?

I get your point and I agree with it. (even if it may or may not apply in this case). I agree that there is outrage in certain cases and not others. For just one instance why doesn't anyone protest all the people shooting each other of the same race in Chicago every day? I think if one is going to protest the police officer then they should be outraged and be protesting ALL crime that is UNCALLED FOR and not just when a police officer does it.

Of course HER passengers said that it happened differently than what the evidence shows. {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

Just some some witnesses in Ferguson....


Except the witnesses in Ferguson were not affiliated with the dead teen.

You're incorrect. One of the most seen and vocal witnesses repeatedly identified himself on air as his good friend. Others too.

Shorty2U, Any killing is bad but I think police officers should be held to a higher standard than thug killers in Chicago. They have sworn to protect all of us not just those whose behavior they approve of. Because they have great powers they should exercise great restraint. However when they see the worst of society every day they start to think everybody is a bad guy when most people are law-abiding.

You can believe his deposition all you want. I mean, after all, he's a cop, he wouldn't lie {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}. Any fool stupid enough to put himself in the path of a moving vehicle should expect to be hit by said moving vehicle. She had allllll that opportunity to stop . . . yeah, but she didn't. So that gives him the okey doke to murder her, right? Oh, I guess when we tell our kids to stop doing something and they don't stop, we should hurt them too, cause we gave them allll that time, right? BTW, I don't play XBOX. Keep your DUH factor, it's alllll yours.

What a juvenile way to think of this. She wasn't poking her little brother or coming in late from a date. She was ...

a. Getting into the driver's seat of a car while drunk

b. Refusing to listen to a policeman and running over the foot of said policeman with her vehicle

c. Wouldn't stop her vehicle when the policeman had to jump on her hood to keep from getting smashed between cars and, thus, trying to kill him.

I really don't understand the people who defend these young people who act stupidly and try to kill police officers.

ITA....just an example of the state of our society @ this time. It's NEVER their fault. Entitlement, yes? Life is like the movies.

"...So that gives him the okey doke to murder her, right?" . PuuuurdyMuchSo. Grand Jury is on our side.

Shorty, CNN did a several weeks long series on the problems in Chicago. People in that community are very concerned about it. A coalition of community leaders, families, school employees, Police, and City Hall all are working together to stop the violence.. I assure you the issues there are not being overlooked.

I'll answer it for you...

They hate cops and think all cops just want to kill black men.


Who is ""they""? And how do you know that's what ""they"" believe?

They = the witnesses who lied about what Michael Brown was doing when he was shot.

How do you know what they believe. Your statement borders on bigotry.

If that is bigotry then believing Wilson shot Brown only because he was black is also bigoted.

The truth is not bigotry...because one does not run on emotion's but uses cognitive thinking makes them rational.

Yes, I have seen news coverage of the groups who are working to stop the violence in Chicago.

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.
