Mike Brown shooting thread - No indictment! Get out and protest!

[Himu]

I'm feeling pretty good I didn't vote for Obama in 2012.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Man CNN right now:

CNN: "So let me do some journalism here and report"
Police: "No"
CNN: "Ok Sir. Sorry."

Professional journalism.

Cause Mitt Romney would've handled this so much better.

you have to be fucking kidding me 

[I'm a Puppy!]

Just in case you have a hard time seeing it



compared to

[Himu]

He had all the right in the world to kill that unarmed black man!

[seagrams hotsauce]

That's an injury? My cheeks get that red in 30 degree weather. Jesus fuckin christ

[ZephyrFate]

There's two more pics on that Twitter and all of them look like he had, like, fingers pressed into his skin which caused a slight reddening... and/or razor burn. That gets you killed in America if you're black

[Himu]

Holy fuck national guard is out on the streets now

[TakingBackSunday]

[Himu]

I don't know what I'm looking at. So is this from when Brown banged Wilson's head against concrete?

[helios]

Wow.... a rash.

[CajoleJuice]

looks like darren wilson has a shitty barber

[I'm a Puppy!]

I'm know this makes me look silly but I've got tears in my eyes seeing the national guard out here.
My family moved here to America from Venezuela not just for a better opportunity at life but because they felt it was a land of freedom where the military wasn't everywhere harassing people. Certainly it's not like I pass armed people on the to anywhere but to see it devolve to this.
I'm not sad. I'm terrified.

[Cheddahz]

I'm not sad. I'm terrified.

Trust me, I think we're all terrified

EDIT: Full body shot of the banged up Wilson

[Himu]

Wilson looks like a high schooler in that shot.

[toku]

Texting a buddy (more like sorta bff) of mine in STL and he's basically trying to tow some kinda line with his (white) wife with me via text (he's hispanic) and it's kinda making me sick. If anyone would feel me you know? Whatever, I should go to bed.

[The Legend of Sunblade]

Cheddahz posted that first picture without the twitter link and I had legitimately no idea what I was supposed to be looking at. It wasn't until Ronito pointed it out that I even noticed the bruise. 

[Shaka Khan]

He's radiating w/ trauma. Emotional trauma.

what's he saying

Just fence riding stuff like "yeah sucks that it's a mix between people who care and people who just want to fuck shit up" type stuff.

[toku]

And he just let go the "police officer was defending himself" text fuck. Tears and i gotta do this now.

[Himu]

And what's his wife saying?

[I'm a Puppy!]

It's sad that one of the thoughts in my head is "Thank god that my kids take after their mom and look white."

Sad night.

[Joe Molotov]

Mike Brown gave him a pimple.

[SpeedStats]

I'm not sad. I'm terrified.

Trust me, I think we're all terrified

EDIT: Full body shot of the banged up Wilson

I thought he had a severe orbital fracture or some shit?

If he did, they would've shown the orbital fracture front and centre.

[Himu]

I'm so confused by those photos.

That was confirmed to be fake a while back. Wilson still claimed Brown punched him in the face ~10 times, tho.

[Joe Molotov]

Someone just yelled "Fuck CNN".

Ten times and all he got was a couple of rosy cheeks

[TakingBackSunday]

[Himu]

Michael punched rosacea the fuck into Darren.

[toku]

And what's his wife saying?

I'm only dealing with him but I know if we were face to face, and I guess this has to do with dealing with people in general, but we'd be having a different kind of conversation. It was good though, as far as I can see via text we linked up.

let's wait until Michael Brown's connect percentage comes out before coming to a conclusion

I just can't with these "MLK would be ashamed" people parading around right now. You know, in the long run, maybe MLK was bad for race relations. The shadow of his (limited) successes have been something for racists and apologists and appeasers to hide behind for nearly half a century already. Like nobody fought back. Like we didn't have to organize community defense forces to keep people from dragging black bodies behind cars. Like we're not sitting here waiting for (the white interpretation of) his dream to materialize to this Goddamn day.

MLK is an excuse for racists and ignorant people who don't know his fucking message to hide behind.

MLK, in hind sight, WAS pretty bad for race relations. Like he said, he integrated his people into a burning house. Unfortunately, when he was killed it was too late, and Malcolm X's United Nations bid went to his grave, never to be re-created.

[Phoenix Dark]

Never mind that the very people citing MLK would be calling him a race peddling agitator 50 years ago. Especially those Memphis marches...

[Himu]

Someone like Glenn Beck (was that him?) saying MLK is one of his personal heroes makes me sick.

yeah I just saw that. I guess that's what happens when you bring an iphone 6 to record

I felt like I needed to go for the medical report first since that's really the only thing I know how to read well.







Pages 9 and 10 of the medical report describe the punch to the jaw, which describes the injury as intact without fracture or dislocation, meaning just a bruise.

He was prescribed Naprosyn, which is basically an anti-inflammatory drug for pain, swelling or stiffness.  Usually it's for people with cardiovascular issues, though.  To be honest, I think the drug is kinda overkill and he should've been given ibuprofen if he needed a painkiller so badly.

The entirety of page 15 is basically detailing the fact that he got a bruise and that the doctor suggested that his injuries aren't that bad.



Basically the health report, despite saying that his pain ranges from 6-8/10 (and for the record, my dad, when he had his heart attack a few years ago stated that his pain was around 6-10 for some questions when asked), the report shows that most of the injuries are unremarkable.

Not really much to say.  It's just... this happened because this guy got one cheek bruise and a few scratches? okay.
