After Michael Brown, a really stupid big guy, strong-armed a box of cigars from a store, he was stopped by Officer Darren Wilson, who caught him with the cigars. Because Michael Brown was a really big guy, and really stupid, he thought he could beat up Officer Wilson, and began doing so. Officer Wilson then proceeded to demonstrate to him that

Um, CNN claimed he had only a slight bruise. However, how did he acquire this "slight bruise?" If Brown hit him, he committed assault and battery against a police officer in the performance of his duties, which was also resisting arrest.
According to Wilson's testimony he approached the two because they were walking in the middle of the road. Only after Johnson told him they were almost where they wanted to go and Brown threw expletives at him did he see the cigarillos and suspected them to be the suspect robbers.
Yes, so? "Walking in the middle of the road" was suspicious (and really idiotic) behavior. So was Brown's cursing at the police officer. That drew Wilson's attention, and at that point (accurately) suspected them to be the robbers.
He calls for reinforcement but does not wait and forces a two-on-one encounter. He also drives up so close that Brown can lock him inside his car. Is any of this standard procedure? Or ( ... )

We are arguing whether the rioting is right or wrong. It clearly is wrong.
If we are going to compare the truth against what was said, let's continue with what the rioters are claiming:
According to them, Brown was standing with his hands in the air, saying "Don't shoot!" when he was shot in the back. This narrative was told by, surprise surprise, the person who was in the convenience story with Brown when he stole the cigars, and has been repeated almost constantly. Some shop keepers put it on signs in front of their shop in the hope it would act like lamb's blood on the lintel.
That narrative was destroyed with ALL of the autopsies performed. Each one made it clear that the story told by police was closer to the truth than the story told by the accomplice to Brown's petty larceny.
And yet, the rioters cling to that story, and demand "justice".
They keep using that word. I don't think it means what they think it means.

Unfortunately, it will be perverted by the likes of CNN and Obama Administration, who by appeasing primitive lawless urges of mobs are sawing the branch they are sitting on

Typical, everything is Obama's fault.

The Obama Administration does bear some responsibility for this, because they have done a horrible horrible job of being the leaders of all the people of America, and have deliberately and consciously aggravated racial tensions in the US.

Listen to his speech.

Has anyone considered prosecuting Dorian Johnson for incitement to riot? His story is a complete fabrication, and he probably participated in the assault on Officer Wilson. His lies have already resulted in property damage and probably personal injuries to others. He should not go unpunished for this.

His testimony to the police might be gotten on some kind of perjury charge but that's rare to try to bother with and only used in perjury traps and the like.

That presupposes that there were ringleaders in the first place.
Are you seriously going to argue that a policeman in your country wouldn't shoot a much larger and more muscular man who was resisting arrest by physically assaulting the police officer? They shoot over here, as well. For the legs, if possible. As I said before, statistics are different over here; with about 10 people killed per year, the total number of shots fired at persons is somewhere around 50. Policemen are also trained to not get into this 2-on-1 scenario in the first place, but to wait for reinforcement, unless there is an imminent threat to life or body of somebody (including the officers). You know, the good old "when you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck" thing. If Wilson had waited just 2 minutes after being cursed at (90 seconds of the incident plus a few more for his colleagues to arrive) it would have been two on two or better odds. Where was the urgency in the situation to confront Johnson and Brown that ( ... )

Do you honestly believe that a campaign of rioting lasting for months is spontaneous? As in most rioting, there are certain hardcore troublemakers who do most of the damage; these can be identified and arrested. They are in any case committing multiple violent felonies. There is only a limited supply of such individuals, and if they can be kept in jail long enough their absence will allow the riots to peter out.

In the land of reality, that's not as easy as you make it sound. Specifically, against assailants who have closed to attack, attempting to take trick shots at the legs is a very dangerous strategy.
The easiest way to stop an assailant is to shoot for center-of-mass -- this means that if one hits one hits the heart-lungs area, and if one misses by recoil rising the barrel, one hits the head. Hits to the center of mass or head stop an assailant quickly. Aiming for the legs can produce very low- ( ... )
