If #DarrenWilson is not Indicted what are black Americans NOT going to do?





As the world waits for the secret grand jury decision whether to indict (or not) Darren Wilson for shooting and killing Mike Brown, elected officials and police are calling for peace as they prepare for violence.  In all the pleas for peace in Ferguson, I've not heard one plea for justice.

People we seem to have lost the thread of what Ferguson is all about
-- the reasons this story has stirred the passions of millions of Americans. The so-called leaders of St. Louis County, the scene of the crime, have spent most of the last two months focused on these three things. 1) Stocking up, and I mean stocking up big-time, on the latest state-of-the-art riot control equipment, to the tune of at least $100,000. 2) Amassing a civilian army of 1,000 police, who've received, in total, at least 5,000 hours (costing God only knows what) of training in battling civil unrest, etc. and 3) Constructing an artificial, bogus narrative that will keep the focus on the possibility of violent protest (something there's actually been very little of over the last three months) and away from any culpability for the reckless actions of Darren Wilson...or the separate and unequal society that Wilson's department props up.
Black people are not the ones stockpiling weapons and making threats, however, if Darren Wilson is not indicted don't expect us to say Oh OK, go back to sleep, and wait for the next Mike Brown to happen. No, we are going to protest our outrage in the non-violent, peaceful tradition of the Civil Rights movement.

We are black, but that doesn't mean we are stupid enough to think we can prevail against government-issued, taxpayer-funded, weapons of mass destruction.  Nor are we crazed, out of control savages seeking revenge against our oppressors because of Obama.  All we've ever asked for is justice

Know Justice
Know Peace
No Justice
No Peace
There will be no peace until there is justice.  This is not a threat of violence, this is a promise we will march on until victory is won.

If he is not indicted then Black America should say," it was presented to a grand jury and the evidence showed Wilson was in th scope of the law".

Have you looked at all the laws in Missouri? They are a state that allows Police to shoot fleeing felons! Therefore if Brown grabbed Wilsons gun and the gun has Browns DNA on it and if Brown assaulted Wilson (felony to assault an officer) then nothing else really matters because if you think Brown was walking away then Wilson could shoot because he was a fleeing felon or if he was charging toward Wilson then he could shoot. The more and more that come out shows this officer has been doen wrong not only by the black community but by the POTUS as well as Eric Holder and other race baiters. If all the forensic evidence adds up to Wilson being innocent the white America needs a BIG APOLOGY from Black America!!

Mike Brown was not a fleeing felon. In order to be a felon you have to be convicted in a court of law, by a judge/jury, not in the middle of the street in broad daylight by a policeman with the right to shoot to kill.

If the grand jury does not indict Darren Wilson the black community will know black lives don't matter and that we dare not rise up and say anything about it or the government will pull out their taxpayer funded weapons of mass destruction and gas their own people to silence and suppress dissent. Sounds like something an evil dictatorship would do doesn't it?

He was if the forensic evidence shows that he grabbed Wilsons guns and assaulted him, which is a felony. You do not have to go to court first!! Go read Missouri state law!!! Lives do matter but IF the evidence shows that Wilson had his gun grabbed and was assaulted then he did what was in the cope of the law and anyone who wants him in jail if the facts show that is RACIST!! A white man may be have evidence proving he was in the right to shoot Brown and millions will march but not when we kiLl our own kind!! WHY?

IF forensic evidence shows Mike Brown grabbed Wilson's gun that doesn't justify Wison shooting and killing him as he was running away.

The BIG IF? If he was running away by state law he could IF he had just grabbed the officers gun and assaulted him!!! Read the law. I would post it but thought you would delete it. Once the facts and forensic evidence is in and if it shows Browns dna on Wilsons gun as we have been told then it is over and there is NOTHING to riot, loot or peacefully protest. Well maybe only one thing that could be protested is the fleeing felon law and that is all!!!

Why would Mike Brown try and grab Darren Wilson's gun in the first place? And Brown's DNA on the gun doesn't prove he grabbed the gun or assaulted Darren Wilson. It proves Darren Wilson shot Mike Brown with the gun.

Why I have no clue? Maybe he thought Wilson was there to arrest him for the felony robbery he just committed but who knows. A few reports say that the slide on the gun appears to have gotten Browns DNA on it and it says that that Brown had injuries on his hand consistent with a gun slide grabbing skin meaning he grabbed the gun! Any time you grab an officers gun the officer can use deadly force!!Yes he shot Brown with the gun. We will know soon if Brown grabbed it and if so the we have no argument to be made if Wilson is no indicted!

Yes felony robbery. Taking property by force is robbery!!!!!

Darren Wilson's first words to Mike Brown were "Get the f*^k on the sidewalk". I don't know the source of your "few reports" but I do know the grand jury evidence, not to be confused with right wing talking points, is secret, so we don't know what was told the grand jury. We don't know if Mike Brown grabbed Wilson's gun, but we do know Wilson shot and killed Mike Brown as he was fleeing, as in trying to get away from him. And for the record, Mike Brown was never arrested, indicted, or convicted of felony robbery in a court of law by a judge/jury.

According to Dorian Johnson, Darren Wilson's first words were "Get the f*^k on the sidewalk" but do we have factual evidence that Darren Wilson said that or is it just according to a source?

Redeye said...

Do we have factual evidence Mike Brown grabbed Darren Wilson's gun or it is just according to Darren Wilson?

The forensic evidence will show if he did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the forensic evidence will show Darren Wilson shot unarmed Mike Brown multiple times, killing him in the middle of the street in broad daylight.

Brian said...

Yes we KNOW Darren Wilson killed Mike Brown. The shooter on the Florida State Campus a few nights ago was killed by the police. Killing somebody isn't always against the law. It's why we have multiple levels of charges. Such as murder and manslaughter.

The grand jury is not be asked whether or not Darren Wilson killed Mike Brown but whether or not Darren Wilson MURDERED Mike Brown. And murder is the UNLAWFUL killing with MALICE AFORETHOUGHT.

Murder/Kill

Mike Brown is dead.

Mike Brown was unarmed.

Mike Brown was shot down like an animal in the middle of the street in broad daylight while attempting to get AWAY from Darren Wilson.
