View original postBased on all of the evidence presented to the jurors, they made the right decision. Let's summarize:


View original postBrown just stole from a convenience store


View original postThen threatened the clerk

True but not relevant. Wilson (the cop) couldn't have known
that Brown was the culprit.


View original postWhen walking in the street, the cop told him to move


View original postHis reply was f'off

True, but that only shows the kid was a punk. Not that he deserved to get shot.




View original postCop said stop and started to get out of the police car


View original postBrown pushed the door close and punched him in the face

Debatable.
Cop pulled up right in front of Brown and opened the door against him without warning; the door hit Brown and bounced off him - Brown didn't push the door closed.

Then Wilson grabbed Brown by the neck to pull him into the car. It's true a few punches may have been swung.



View original postThen tried to grab his gun

False, no witnesses saw this.



View original postFirst ran away, then turned back and charged

False again, he ran away because Wilson was shooting at him; he turned after getting hit once with his hands up and said 'OK OK I give up, I don't have a gun!'. He only stumbled a few feet towards Wilson at walking pace, but Wilson simply keep blasting away - firing 12 times in total and hitting Brown in the head, killing him.


View original postThen he was shot


View original postPretty simple decision here.

Lets compare Europe to the US to see how many people cops shot dead in this past year (Source: Economist):

US cops: 409
German cops: 8

The rate at which cops in the States are killing people is way higher than any other Western country. This is not normal behaviour for any other developed nation.

Here are two more recent cases of people getting shot by US cops:

12-year old kid playing with a toy gun in a park. The cops claim they thought the gun was real and told him to drop the gun but in fact video shows he was given no warning at all: Video shows the cops simply pulled over and within 2 seconds simply let rip all guns blazing, killing him. 2 seconds was simply not enough time for them to shout a warning as they claimed:

Story here:
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/11/26/justice/cleveland-police-shooting/

Here's another case:

A man was peacefully making a purchase in a Walmart store of an air-gun. This was a perfectly legal purchase. But someone in the store mistook him for a robber and alerted the cops. They all rushed over and let rip, guns blazing, killing him.

Story here:
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/24/us/ohio-walmart-death/

There are many more stories like this. This is not normal behaviour for cops in any other developed nation.
