~sigh~

...On its face, Missouri law still follows the old common law rule that it's lawful to shoot and kill a fleeing suspected felon, even if the suspect doesn't pose an immediate danger to the police or the public. That rule was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court nearly 30 years ago, but Missouri hasn't yet revised its statutes to reflect this.

"Because of that Supreme Court ruling, the grand jury in this case was instructed that - under current Missouri law - Wilson could have legally shot and killed Brown only 'if Wilson reasonably believed that [Brown] was attempting to escape by the use of a deadly weapon or would endanger life or inflict serious physical injury unless arrested without delay, and [Wilson] reasonably believed that the use of deadly force was immediately necessary to effect the arrest of the offender,'to quote the standard jury instruction used in the state.

"It appears the grand jury accepted Wilson's account of the encounter. Even though Brown was unarmed, the jury concluded that Wilson had a reasonable belief that Brown would kill or seriously hurt him or someone else if Wilson didn't arrest him immediately. Furthermore, the jury found it was reasonable on Wilson's part to believe that shooting Brown was necessary to stop him from evading arrest..."

No reason to click the hotlink; I've already checked it. I never once questioned the validity of the information, as it was presented during CNN's coverage of the decision last night,


by a black college professor of law, who'd been called in to serve as a legal expert as the news stories were unfolding.



Hopefully, THAT little factoid will allow YOU to accept it as The Truth, now...since me stating it as so - coupled with your inability to check it on your own - wasn't good enough.


After all, I DO have a habit of making schtuff up, ESpecially here on discussion boards...in addition to never knowing whatthehell I'm talking about,


huh?


~pfffftttt~


WORK TO CHANGE THE EXISTING LAW. Anyone who doesn't, DOES want more "of our children killed." <---YOUR words, NOT mine

And we drop another level of depravity. This nation lets the guilty go free but persecute the innocent, an indication of the level of depravity this country has stooped. A nation where an innocent homeless person is gunned down right on video and all the nation has to say is ahhh.

To a level where a pure thug is promoted as mom and apple pie and everyone is up in arms. To a level where all the fellow thugs see as an opportunity to take and damage the property of another because...

And if your child is a thug, they deserve to be gunned down post haste before they can damage the innocent, that's accountability.

Any excuse, all based on perception while totally ignoring any semblance of truth. Grand Juries aren't instructed, especially these color of law grand juries. The DA presents the Grand Jury with a "bill of indictment". From that they question any and all witnesses and make a determination of either "True Bill", the evidence proved the bill or "No Bill", the evidence did not prove the bill.

And of course, let's just ignore the fact that all the evidence was released which in and of itself is highly unusual. But what they did agree upon is that Brown should have been indited if he were alive. But of course that little truth is inconvenient to your perception of truth.

What opposed to what? Not to worry, they know when there time is, and exactly what to say and do, it will already be rehearsed and choreographed long before then.

Sure, go right ahead.

Getting back to the topic of the OP ...


Who are the leaders in Ferguson who will help improve the situation there?

wonder what makes people so naive as to think the goal of leadership is supposed to be good?

what the fucck is good?

sharing?

kindness?

fair?

equal?

no bullying?

no lying?

no pain?

unity?

not fake?

none manipulation?

no anger over a no?

how do people create any of these until they have a deep enough appreciation for such in society that they do these them self instead of demanding others be such for them.

hell, most must experience the opposite of all of these, before they come to naturally become adults and value such things...

so leaders are not supposed to create "good" across the board, but rather to create circumstances that bring out the best where there was the worst...

then whom need no more bad happening to self to care about what CREATES good, be elevated unto prosperity, and that which still insists on primitive good for 1, goes for round two of bad circumstances, then 3, and 4, and on and on, until the fulfillment of Darwin has become so, the strong without self pity evolve, and the weak become extinct as has been completed many times previous.

The news coverages I've been watching have been showing numerous black community leaders who've re-dedicated themselves to changing the existing laws, as they realize that's where the problem is.


President Obama, as THE representative of the FEDERAL government is powerless to change individual State's laws, as are all the [black] Representatives and Senators in Congress.


It is (AGAIN) unfair to lay this at his feet, as everyone is wont to do.


Oh, and by the way, my original post WAS on-topic; just because I don't agree with your OP's conclusion, doesn't mean it's OFF-topic.



It would be rude of me to ignore others who take particular interest in MY posts and simply MUST say something at me, as many are wont to do, as YOU well know.

Wow, I'm impressed by the use of goggle to pull up an excerpt but still no understanding of the actual concept. Yes, it is part of the teaching of Mark Passio but from an almost 9 hour lecture in New Haven, Ct. on October 19, 2013 in conjunction with Richard Grove of Tragedyy and Hope magazine / [url}http://www.tragedyandhope.com. Of course there is no need to even ask if you have taken benefit from the lecture, of course not.

I am a very devout pupil of both Richard Grove and Mark Passio and like to live up to my commitment of learning and promoting the natural law, but then we have been here before and nothing has changed. With nothing to add, there is no option but to ignore knowledge.

who was Hundreds of Feet away?
The Officer must have been using a .50cal Sniper-Rifle?

Yep,flapping his Lips,and inciting Riots all over the Nation!
