Do you blame him? Could anyone? The guy does exactly what he should, and only a fraction of one side of the political spectrum is behind him. Everyone else wants him sued, jailed, or DEAD. Make no mistake - we are the minority this time.

No necessarily true. Every article allowing comments I've read are NOT on the side of the lynch mob.

Our local paper had to pull their articles from their facebook page because the massive flood of comments were running 95% against the pro MB articles they were publishing.

And this is a bigtime liberal UAW community with a significant percentage of blacks. The protestors amounted to exactly 4 whites who stood on the courthouse square with signs. About the same number of those who staged Occupy protests in this town

” The guy does exactly what he should,...”

No question that Wilson did exactly what he was trained to do. But it’s hard to live with killing someone, regardless. I know lots of Vietnam vets who still struggle with having killed. Depending on the kind of person he is, Wilson may always wonder if he and Brown both might have been better off if Wilson had waited for reinforcements to arrive instead of setting off in solitary pursuit, knowing that if he got into a confrontation he could not defend himself short of deadly force.

The way it is PRESENTED in the media, maybe, but read the comments on those web articles that are not closed. Far as I can tell, 95% of the comments are in his favor.

Everyone I talk to, nobody has justified the rioting and everyone is appalled by it. So not sure what you mean by your comments, unless you are basing them on media coverage alone, but then, who believes the media these days?
