Yikes. Armoured vehicle pulls up and tear gases people doing nothing.

Edit: this is actually hilarious. What a fine display of stupidity.

"You cannot go to Grand"
"Our car is on grand"

Well maybe you should have picked a better place to park. JFC.

Ughh these protesters are annoying, I was trying to take their side but they are acting like whiny cowards. Too afraid to do anything but not smart enough just to leave the area so they stand around like idiots just to be near the excitement.

This stream is just full of stupidity. This isn't a protest for the original issue, it's a US VS THEM (POLICE) troll fest. They all speak like they are freeman-of-the-land's.

What a disgrace. Also the guy commenting like it's a dick measuring contest on how many times he's been tear gassed in his past rioting experience.

Professional rioters.

[Acey]

Yeah the cops have a bunch of hipsters trapped in a coffee shop or something, their leader is negotiating for them to not all be arrested.



While actual rioters are burning stuff, the cops seem focussed on these people for some reason.

[CampbellsTransgressions]

The comparisons to Nazi Germany are the best. As if they have any idea.

What was also great was when he walked out of the building with his hands stuffed in his pocket. Great thinking, leader.

I've never felt so compelled to start every sentence with LOL in my life.

This is the dumbest protest I've ever witnessed, bunch of hipster doofuses. They are just begging to be arrested, I've seen protests where the cops circled in and arrested people and they couldn't escape but these hipsters are just standing there for no reason. It's a coffeeshop, go home. They are protesting for the sake of being near the excitement and hurting the cause of every person that's actually treated unjustly, this is freedom of speech in the 21st century. Acting like an idiot to be near the drama. The police aren't even acting intimidating giving them all the chance to leave and they are screaming at them.

[CampbellsTransgressions]

"doesn't this guy look a little bit like the SS"

Well, he's not executing your entire family including you, so no.

[Acey]

I hope somebody recorded that cop gassing those people. For like 5 minutes all these people are right up in the faces of all these cops and berating them. Dude calmly turns and puts on a gas mask, and just destroys everybody. So awesome.

[BlackArcher101]

Oh piss off. This kid is more excited about telling his stories about getting shot at than discussing the topic at hand.

Go back home and play Call of Duty.

Unnecessary violence towards people you don't like is awesome?

I really hope you don't practice what you preach.

All of this sounds completely believable.

The DA stated that a lot of witness testimony was not even close to fact. I was listing the two reasons why a witness would fabricate testimony in this case.

Unless there is some other motivation they would have to lie in a case like this?

I'm not talking about the ones who missed a fact or two, I'm talking about the ones who gave their statements and then admitted they didn't actually see anything or were giving their opinion on the matter or repeating gossip. There is zero reason for someone to fabricate evidence in a possible first degree murder case against a possible defendant unless there is some kind of malicious motivation behind it.

There are protesters, and then there are the cowards hiding behind them who want to destroy and loot property using the protest as a shield.

I'm sure it was mentioned in thread already, but the guy torching police cars last night was a white dude masking his face. He wasn't there to protest the grand jury decision.

[RyZ]

That sad display last night set things back again and made things worse moving forward.

Unless a bunch of the local black population wants to put on a police uniform the black community is going to have to deal with a primarily white police force for the forseeable future. And now the divide is twice as wide as it was 24 hours ago, which is twice as wide as it was before the Wilson-Brown incident.

Things are not going to get any better there.

Ya it does. But we don't get to hear the other side of the story either. Cuz he's dead.

I think with tech being so cheap nowadays it's important to start fitting cops with ultra light cameras to allow doubt to be removed.

If we can have a video of a squirrel taking a go pro up a tree we should have video of these interactions.

For the record tho I think the cop is telling the truth.

Lol Brown pushes him back into the car and slams the door shut and then punches him in the face yet the only bruise on his face is on his right side.

If that story was true shouldn't the bruises be on the left side of his face facing Brown outside the window on the driver side?


“As I’m opening the door, he turns, faces me, looks at me and says, ‘What the f— are you going to do about it,’ and shuts my door, slammed it shut,” Wilson said. “… He was just staring at me, almost like to intimidate me or to overpower me. The intense face he had was just not what I expected from any of this.”
Wilson told Brown to “get the f— back,” but Brown allegedly hit Wilson in the side of his face “with a fist…. There was a significant amount of contact that was made to my face,” Wilson testified.
