Could it be that the video of the robbery was the decision that made the difference.

My money would be on it being the scene forensics.

Bodies that are struck, by multiple rounds, on the upper portion tend not to fall face down, heads toward the shooter, if theyre not moving towards the shooter.

Thats how Browns body was found, as can be seen in the photos of him lying dead in the street, with the blood running downhill towards where Ofcr Wilson was.

It seems like basic physics to me. Browns body may have been twisted around various ways by the impacts, but the positioning of his body is an indication that he was moving forward, with some momentum, when he fell. IOW charging at Wilson.

It certainly turned the tide of non-black public opinion in a hurry. Whenever I hear “unarmed” teenager, all I can see in my mind’s eye is a very tall & beefy MB with huge arms, grabbing that little store clerk by the shirt/throat. MB was armed all right - matter of fact, he had two of ‘em.

THE ROLLING STONES

“You Can’t Always Get What You Want”

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
No, you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, “We’re gonna vent our frustration
If we don’t we’re gonna blow a 50-amp fuse”
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was “dead”
I said to him
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
You get what you need—yeah, oh baby
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
