I have been around awhile now so when I hear the names Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, I know to keep calm, let the facts come out, and soon we will be exposed to the outrageous lies that surround the case.
It really is only a matter of time.
Unfortunately the havoc these men create often turns into such a storm of hate and delusions that many people will continue to lie and defend the indefensible.

Recently more information has been leaked about Brown. It seems our precious high school grad was actually someone who was high on marijuana and had just committed a strong armed robbery from a convenient store. Of course this bit of information adds to the credibility of the police officer since it clearly suggests that Michael was indeed looking for trouble that day, believed he was about to be busted for his recent robbery, and may have indeed attacked the officer first.
Still, we must question whether the officer was indeed justified in firing his weapon so many times. Last I heard reported there were six shots fired.
There are no winners here. This is a tragedy all around.
One thing that bugs me is how this has been turned into some racial issue. Even if this cop ends up being in the wrong, we have NO way of telling if this was racially motivated. The accusation is irresponsible.
I think I'm more biased and in favor of the police officer at this point. However, I will not state for certain of anything because the simple truth is, we don't know. We must wait and allow the facts to come out. Can we all at least try and make the commitment to do that before we bite each others' heads off? Can we also please stop trying to excuse Brown's robbery? His friend admitted the two of them robbed the store. There is no defending that behavior.
I absolutely agree that cameras should be equipped on all police vehicles. Perhaps this would have stopped the chaos that has been going on....well, one can hope.
