Sway thank you, and you are correct, I am a cool dude. The fact that you noticed makes you a diamond geezer as far as I'm concerned.
I recognise the scenario that you describe, I've read it or something like it in accounts of evidence put before the Grand Jury, and it could be that that's the way that it happened. Of course there was much evidence put before the Grand Jury that conflicted with that account. I don't think I would be alone in claiming that despite the outcome of the Grand Jury, the exact circumstances surrounding Brown's death remain unclear.
I've read also there were some doubts as to the objectivity of the proceedings, claims that the questioning of the police officer was 'soft' as opposed to the grilling given to any witness whose evidence contradicted the County Prosecutors narrative.
I also read that there were some unusual steps taken by the County Prosecutor, the large volume of evidence heard, and the length of the proceedings was unusual.The fact that he did not recommend an indictment, but let the jurors make the decision as to what charge should be brought if any, was also unusual. As I understand it the lawyers acting for Michael Browns family felt compelled to state in response to what had gone on, that if you present evidence to indict, you get an indictment, if you present evidence not to indict, you don't get an indictment.
Anyway be that as it may, Wilson won't be tried in public. For my part I'm unconvinced by the evidence that says Brown running away wounded, already having been shot at least once, turns round to charge the cop who is chasing him, and who has already shot him. I tend to believe those who say he was giving himself up.
Again, if as you say cops shoot to kill in these 'life threatening' situations then presumably they are issued with weapons of a calibre that will do the job. In this case we are being asked to believe that it took another three or four bullets into Brown to stop his charge, and it was only the final shot into his head (having already been hit there twice)that rendered him a non threat. Really!?
Anyway Sway you will have figured out by now that against your stated wish I'm trying to draw you into a discussion. I apologise. I'm only doing it because I'm at a loose end this Saturday evening, what with my weekend revelry having been postponed till tomorrow. That's not to say that I wouldn't want to be in a discussion with you in other circumstances, of course I would.
