To "pick a side" before the system has had a chance to do anything, TO ME at least; seems like doing so is racially motivated. Otherwise, why would we give money to someone whom may have committed murder? Let's call it a reward, then. I can live with that.

Again, how is the view from that pphukking high horse? He rode into Douglas County NV on it, like so many other Kalipornyans.

Officer Wilson is now unemployable as an officer in the immediate St Louis area. He and his family will not be able to return to their home. His financial problems have only began. The mental stress for him and his family will last forever. All this because one thoughtless person stole some cheap cigars. He will need a lot of financial support for some time. GW

Either the shooting was justified, or it wasn't; it's just as simple as that. All the hubub didn't change the Rodney King verdict, it didn't change the OJ verdict, it didn't change the Zimmerman verdict...in every case, the EVIDENCE prevailed.
You sure you want to include OJ in that statement? If it makes you feel better, drop the OJ. Doesn't make me feel better or worse, just isn't true and pretty much negates your whole statement. The "EVIDENCE" did NOT always prevaile the OJ case clearly proves that fact. Plain and simple.

Most of this money will go to legal fees. He will need more than what his union provides. The family of the dead idiot will get much more donated, I'm sure, and will most likely have free representation.
Without money, this legal system and investigation you guys want to wait for will fail him. It's just the way it is Yeah, I think it's going to be stacked against the guy. I think I'll put $10.00 in. So far, from what we know, it looks pretty clearly like the guy was in a fight for his life in a confrontation with a strong-arm robber and just barely won.

If you don't give a pphukk that the officer gets a fair shake, then fine. I do care, I think he will get a fair shake and I think history has proven that. There is no speculation that he's going to need monetary assistance and damned sure no speculation that the evidence is not being presented fairly. Yes he will need money, but it won't come from me. I won't cover his defense any more than I'd cover anyone else's criminal defense on the off chance that if in fact he killed the kid wrongfully; I don't want to be a part of that. Now after the acquittal; I would consider it. Once I know I'm not supporting a murderer. Wow! I always knew you were stupid but wow. Murderer huh? I bet the guys and girls that protected you all those years would like to hear you say that. For those with a brain. I heard a rumor yesterday that his union/FOP attorney will only represent on the local/state level. If he gets charged by the Feds he is on his own. I do not know if he belonged to any union/FOP or what kind of representation he has or will not have. Dink

That isn't the point, your post about shooting six times is the point. Doesn't the explanation help you understand why there were multiple shots? Shots to the arm don't stop agitated aggressive animals. If you shot a deer low and broke a leg and it was running off wouldn't you shoot again to stop it? Now flip it to a dangerous animal, what if it were one of our wild feral boars weighing 300 pounds busting brush right at you from 30'? I am honestly surprised a southern Missouri guy would need schooled on shooting until the aggressive action is stopped.

GW I agree with most of this but 6 shots? He seems to be in very hot water. Ever had to shoot a deer more than once? Lets break this six shots was " over bore" bullschit dow right now Training- shoot to stop the threat. One round discharged in a closed space( car interior). That round was probably close enough to severely disrupt his hearing, and possibly throw his equlibrium off. Wilson suffered a traumatic injury severe enough to cause a fractured orbital socket He still had the "heart" to continue to attempt the arrest. Chances are his vison was skewed, and he may even have had to try and use his non dominate eye to aim with. The injuries support the statement that Brown was charging him. Under those circumstances, including the aggitated state Brown was most likely in, coupled with the officers injuries. He likely reverted to training when the first few shots gave no indication of a hit, he fired at the head. It's also very likely he had no idea how many rounds he even fired Bottom line. There is no set number of shots that will need to be fired to stop an attack

GW I agree with most of this but 6 shots? He seems to be in very hot water. You, are an idiot. Too funny but I believe I will wait a spell before I pass judgment on you Right or wrong this police officer is in a lot of trouble You're right he's in a lot of trouble, but not because of facts. Tell us, Mr. Too-Many-Shots, wtf would you do? You have been assaulted by a suspect in a strong-arm robbery. You have sustained debilitating if not life-threatening injuries (see the wound threads and media reports). You exit your vehicle in order to attempt an arrest, and per the injuries certainly with a concussion of some degree, likely severe. Now, you are 30 feet (10 yards) from a 6'4", 300 lbs already known violent assailant. For reference, that's roughly the size of an average black bear. You're 10 yards away, and college football players of the same size cover that distance in less than 2 seconds. So, you have 2 seconds. You, suffering from likely blindness in one eye, trauma to the head, and a concussion, order it to stop. BTW - there is another suspect in the immediate area. It slowly advances, likely cutting the range to about 8 yards (that'd be about 1.8 seconds distance to impact). Then, it charges. You react even within the normal .75 seconds and get on target. You have 1 second to impact. So, do you fire once and wait for a result? Or, do you fire until the threat stops it's advance? Here's a hint: about a dozen witnesses have come forward backing up the officer's side of the story, and the assailant dropped finally within about 3-4 feet of the officer. So, please elaborate on how else it should have been done whilst firing less rounds; with details, facts, and specifics, please.
