Just curious about the supposed eye witness accounts that Brown had his hand in the air surrendering when he was shot, since the autopsy report has come out.
How does someone get shot in the front if their shoulder and in the front side of their arms when their arms are in the air?
Are the protesters going to apologize for taunting the police with saying "don't shoot me" while they held their arms in the air?

I've lost some faith in Obama. Not once has he mentioned that the cop might have done his job and was in danger. Not once has he mentioned that looting stores and burning down buildings is a savage activity. It's all apologetic. Just sickening. Tell the criminals that if they fuck up they will be dealt with and might be killed. If the case comes out that a police officer does wrong then the courts will handle it like any other case. Just embarrassed by Obama over this. This was a time he could show he's not some softy just trying to appease Democrats.
Obama has pretty much stood on the sidelines, calling for calm, and I think it's the right move by him in this case. He is already getting savaged by Michael Eric Dyson and some others in the "Black Community" for not coming out in support of Brown, or the Protesters.

Kinda reminds me if the Ol farmer plowing his field when he saw a yellow Cadillac full of colored folks flying down his dirt road. Went so fast couldn't handle a curve an flipped the car. By the time the police and help arrived he was standing by the car with a shovel, police asked him where the colored folks were and he exclaimed they all died and he had buried them. The police said sir are you sure they were all dead? He replied " well one said he wasn't but you know how those colored folks lie"
Great job by law enforcement tonight including one male cop who on camera had his weapon drawn & pointed at a citizen journalist & openly stated "I'll fucking kill you". A female cop had to come in & get him to not have his weapon pointed for no legitimate reason. Keep assuming that people deserve to be treated this way.....
I honestly think he is scared to stand up for what he knows is right because he fears his own race. Putting political issues aside, you guys are normal folk and can see the truth in this case. Love or hate Obama we all should want our president to stand up and lead for what is right. Who knows, if he would do that it might turn a light switch on to these protesters. I personally think he is too late on this incident. He is way to worried about what people think than how he knows he should lead. Hell, his only job outside of politics is a community organizer. This should be right in his wheelhouse.
I have been following this very closely and only watching the CNN coverage. All Media is going to jump to conclusions, it's what they do. CNN was almost reporting this as some anarchy advocate at first and now they have switched gears as the facts have started to come out and showing support for the officers. The majority of black folk I have seen interviewed the last 48 hours have not once mentioned Brown, but the equality of life. School systems, crime, social equality, jobs, etc. It's almost humorous in a sad way to think that the American population gives a rat's ass about helping unless those people stand up and do something for themselves. Spike Lee was on talking about the same thing as I mentioned above and he was casting blame on America but what has he done to help the situation? Would love to imagine the leadership if Ben Carson was the POTUS right now.

k:Touché“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”
According to the well-placed source, Wilson was coming off another case in the neighborhood on Aug. 9 when he ordered Michael Brown and his friend Dorain Johnson to stop walking in the middle of the road because they were obstructing traffic. However, the confrontation quickly escalated into physical violence, the source said..
“They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move," the source said. "They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face.
The source claims that there is "solid proof" that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off – although it still remains unclear at this stage who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away according to the account, prompting Wilson to draw his gun and order him to freeze. Brown, the source said, raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, "What, you're going to shoot me?"
At that point, the source told FoxNews.com, the 6 foot, 4 inch, 292-pound Brown charged Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him, including the fatal bullet that penetrated the top of Brown's skull, according to an independent autopsy conducted at the request of Brown's family.
Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket in the fracas, and was left dazed by the initial confrontation, the source said.
