I work with these assholes in suburban st louis and it's taking a lot of restraint for me not to verbally abuse them when I show up for work in the morning and they're flapping their gums about this poo poo. It's funny because they can't get too loud since the company is around a quarter black people- including those in management.

Next time somebody comes at me with this, I AM going off on them. Not going to let bullshit go unchallenged.

MSNBC has some lady who was protesting and got tear gasssed tonight. This is horrifying.

It's really disorienting that there are gunshots and people yelling at cops right next to some casual traffic next to some nondescript stripmall.

Prelim autopsy, we'll know more later (within a few days?) Could he have been shot from the side, in the arms? That might explain witness confusion a bit. 'Blatantly lied' is a stretch. At worst, they were mistaken.

On Youtube at least right under the comment stream is hide.

Makes it totally watchable now.

There used to be a Chrome addon called Youtube Herp Derp that replaced all comments with herp derp, but sadly it stopped working when Youtube changed their comment system. Clearly this is an occasion that calls for it.

Look the police response is bad enough without baseless speculation of agents provocateurs.

Brown turned around after the first shot, basically a "Holy poo poo, he's serious!" reaction. He then raised his hands in the air yet the cop kept firing.

It can be extremely hard to recount events like that correctly. As an eye witness to a couple minor things, it can be amazing what you forget or remember incorrectly.

Some people might think its a conspiracy, but bored black kids north of delmar set off fireworks all the time. I hear them pretty much on a daily basis during the summer months before school starts. Most of the time the police don't give a gently caress, unless they need a casus belli. Really if the county police weren't a bunch of brutal milfag rednecks this whole thing would've melted off days ago, but they keep on pushing, which in term swells the crowds and promotes unrest, which makes those methed out hicks even more prone to excessive force etc.

Probably not.

“This one here looks like his head was bent downward,” he said, indicating the wound at the very top of Mr. Brown’s head. “It can be because he’s giving up, or because he’s charging forward at the officer.”

One of the bullets shattered Mr. Brown’s right eye, traveled through his face, exited his jaw and re-entered his collarbone.
