I"m saying that was the maximum possible distance although I do believe that Wilson chased, but was it 35 feet away just cause the police said so...........They had a very strong interest to make it as close as possible and with his body laying on the ground for 4 hours they had extra time to do things. .....The gap in time there along with them withholding information and not talking for several days just looks more suspicious.

In fact, I would argue the lack of information by Ferguson whether they had nothing to hide or not just added to that suspicion and helped fuel the protests.......If they just came out with a bunch of information and facts early then it could have prevented most of the protests, but instead it came across as them hiding something.
They did. They released the video of Brown robbing the store within a week of his death. In a sane world, that would have diffused the protests right there, as it differentiated Brown from an innocent victim like Trayvon, who did nothing wrong. But the video was largely ignored, or minimized, when it was THE KEY piece of evidence. The professional rabble rousers had already dug in their heels, and they weren't going to let facts get in the way.
There was another officer shooting in the St.Louis area a few days after the initial protests and the guy came out immediately with a bunch of facts and info and handled it in a very professional manner which is how it should be done.......Otherwise, if you wait too long like Ferguson did it suggests conspiracies, cover-ups, and suspicions whether there are some or not especially in a community that is already distrustful of the police.......If Ferguson did the same thing that could have eliminated many of the protests and put out the fire before it even started and it wouldn't have been national news or global news likely.
But I do agree from a legal standpoint there was more on Zimmerman than Wilson since Zimmerman wasn't even a cop and provoked the entire situation......He wasn't even a Fake Mall Cop whereas Wilson was a real cop so he will get the benefit of the doubt a lot more legally rather than some neighborhood watch guy like Zimmerman.
I don't think anybody believes Wilson woke up that morning and said he was gonna kill a black guy that day.........I hope not at least...........Now if some want to argue Instant Karma that's a fair argument especially since Brown attacked an officer along with the store thing..........In my opinion, both guys involved had very big egos that clashed except one had the power and the other didn't and that is why he walking despite using a lot more bullets than I thought was necessary....
He robbed a store
He threatened the owner
He was asked by Wilson to get out of the road, but told the cop to fuck off
He confronted the cop with aggression
He attacked a cop
He threatened the cop with words and told him he wouldn't shoot
He got shot in the hand as he was attacking a cop
He tried to run but then came back toward the cop with more aggression when ask to stop
After all this, if you don't believe you will get shot by a cop, you are a complete idiot.

So EVEN IF this death was justfied, you guys don't think this officer still owes an apology to the family???
I don't care what the circumstances really were, this disrespectful little sh!t needs to apologize and needs bitch-slapped for being a jerk...

Yea, should go something like this. "Sorry your son Was a thug moron, he got what he deserved"
The attitude the guy showed in that video of robbing that store pissed me off. He balls up a fist after he shoves the clerk like he was going to hit him, making the clerk flinch in fear.
Again, he got what he deserved
Not A cop, probably 100-125 very closely in 14 years.
I've been in the same room & conversation dozens & dozens of times as they all talk, joke, and laugh about who they "got back at" by stopping & giving a ticket, or harassed for no particular reason.
I've seen & heard the cover ups.
I've seen the corruption.
I've seen & heard it all.
I've even head the Chief on at least 5 different occasions when swearing in some new officers that "This badge will get a lot of pus*y", so what you do with it is your choice."
And he would say this disrespectfully in front of women in the room!
I've known 2 officers get reprimanded because he wasn't giving enough tickets and told it made them appear "soft".
Again I say, there are some great guys/cops out there of course.
My stepfather was one & he was nothing like described above.
In my opinion there should be an age which you have to reach first in order to become a police officer, such as 30 maybe, when people are more mature.
You get these young punks who have control issues, have been picked on in school, or what have you, and merely want to become officers for all the wrong reasons.
Too bad the good ones get caught in the middle...
Classless
Like I said, I don't care the scenario or circumstances, if you kill someone, even not by choice, you still apologize to the family out of respect.
And it's that type of attitude in him refusing to apologize that contributes even more in people not believing that some, much, or most of his story isn't even true...
