Thanks for the updates, Smizzy.
In news relating to the Michael Brown shooting itself, an autopsy revealed that he was shot six times in the front and had marijuana in his system. An additional autopsy will be conducted by Pentagon officials at a later date.
My personal feelings about the autopsy is that this seems like pretty damning evidence for the police officer. If Michael Brown was shot during the struggle for the gun, wouldn't one shot have done the trick? If Michael Brown was shot running away after losing the struggle for the gun, why was he shot in the FRONT six times? How was Brown 35 feet from the police car if, according to the officer responsible for shooting Brown, Brown was involved in a struggle for the gun when the officer was in the car?
I wonder how the presence of marijuana in Brown's system is going to affect public perception. I think many of us can agree that marijuana doesn't exactly make you want to commit crimes, or do anything too far from the nearest couch and bag of Doritos, so to me I the marijuana seems like a non-factor. That said, public perception of marijuana is still foggy, and perhaps the public will see this as an additional sign that Michael Brown wasn't exactly acting like a model citizen the night of his death.
But it is. Again, show me the study that says once someone commits petty theft it's indicative of willingness to commit assault with a deadly weapon, or whatever charge one would get for attempting to steal an officer's gun.
People who grow up in this type of environment know exactly what the consequences of their actions are. To borrow from renowned urban spokesperson, David Chapelle,
What gave you that idea? My weighing all of the evidence we have presented to us, or my separating myself from the folks quick to call this a race crime of some sort?
I have seen these arguments, but I didn't come here to argue with the rabble, I came here to discuss this event with intelligent people like jmt or Shocky. Clearly you would rather throw yourself into the festering cesspool known as the comment section of a Yahoo news article rather than rise above the rabble and discuss this rationally.
