Support grows for Darren Wilson, officer who shot Ferguson teen Michael Brown
CNN ^ | 8/19/2014 | CNN

Posted on 08/19/2014 12:41:44 PM PDT by Dallas59

(CNN) -- While the nation is watching and hearing the angry protests in support of black shooting victim Michael Brown, a different kind of support is being voiced for the white police officer who fatally shot the unarmed teenager.

In a first account of its kind, a caller to Radio America's "The Dana Show," who identified herself only as Josie, told listeners a detailed account of Officer Darren Wilson's side. A source with detailed knowledge of the investigation told CNN it accurately matched what the officer has told investigators.

"He said all of a sudden, he just started to bum rush him," she said. "He just started coming at him full speed, and so he just started shooting and he just kept coming."

“Looks like the local college won’t confirm about Brown’s bright future.”

I read very early on that he was going to go for HVAC truing. You go to college for that?

The evidence is piling up against this gentle giant.

Even Nancy Grace is starting to come around. Last night, she had ALL of the Internet information (info ignored by the MSM) and was using it to grill Michael Brown’s lawyer. He didn’t handle it well.

Of course, this is the same guy who represented St. Trayvon.

“Admission papers”
I doubt that.

My point is that they are as real as Obama's birth certificate.

I heard his teacher speak yesterday. Mike was in “alternative school”. That means he wasn't making it in regular school for some reason. The teacher said Mike was a year behind in his work. It's possible he is dull normal in IQ or has learning disabilities to be in alternative school. I would say his likelihood of succeeding in college is low. I really doubt he was going to college.

The teacher also said Mike brought a can of tea with him every day. Do you remember in Florida the black kid bought Skittles and canned tea? They put coughing syrup in that mixture to get high. I don't think the preferred drink for a teen ager is canned tea unless he/she plans to add to that tea to make “Drank”, which is what they call this mixture. Mike brought canned tea with him every day to school.....

If you’re going 80 mph how long will it take go to 80 miles? Easy enough right?

I guessed 60 minutes. Boy did I screw up. Hahahaha.

I see Brown's disregard for Wilson's order to get out of the middle of the street as a direct link to the earlier robbery of a convenience store wherein Brown pushed the much smaller Asian man away when he tried to retrieve the stolen goods from him. Obviously Brown thought it was fine to steal because who would stop him. Now that it is known that Brown also had pot in his system the robbery is relevant to the later confrontation with officer Wilson. Having gotten by with stealing the merchandise he felt empowered to do anything else he damn well pleased. _
I also am disgusted with the terms being used to cast Brown in a victim role by referring to him as a teenager and shoplifter rather than thief, (as tho stealing is somehow tolerable if done by a teenage shoplifter). Eighteen years old is the age of young men going into the military or other productive pursuits. Not an age associated with robbing and assaulting a shop keeper or a LEO. The media has gone over the top in slanting this Ferguson crime scene into another racial conflict, knowing that if the roles were reversed to white victim and black cop there would be no story at all.

My brother-in-law makes good money as an HVAC technician. If Michael Brown were headed for a trade school and a steady paying job he likely would not be dead today.

“Alternative School,” at least in Texas, is not for stupid kids it is for behavioral problems and it usally takes violence or destruction of school property to get put there. I wonder how the Gentile Giant ended up there.

To be fair to “the Gentle Giant”, the initial autopsy said he had no gunshot residue on him. So i’m a little dubious on this claim until some evidence is presented.

“these ignorant bastards have pictures on social media in which they flip off the camera? Is that a requirement now to be a f***ing dumb****???”

I thought they were simply demonstrating part of their skill set, you know, so they could impress employers with whom they were currently trying to secure employment.

I’m aware of this in Texas as I was employed by Texas schools for years. This teacher of Mike indicated he was there due to being behind in his studies. Due to that statement, I didn’t suggest it was behavior problems since I don’t know what constitutes being placed there in that state. There could be more than one group type in Alternative School in that state. I feel sure the truth of his placement there will come out at some time. What we do know from this teacher, is, Mike was not in regular school for some reason.

This is a gem that has been in Boston for many years——and they do have HVAC.

They also give degrees.

A half-truth. There was no gunshot residue on the skin which wouldn't likely happen since he was wearing clothes. The dr. that performed the autopsy stated he didn't have access to Brown's clothing so he couldn't confirm or deny that there was close-contact gunshot residue. The gunshot residue would be on Brown's clothing.
