I wonder, did anyone at all record this with their smartphones? why, with all of these witnesses, are there no filmed recordings of the altercation between Brown and the cop Maybe the people who think the police should all have cameras on them are onto something. Then we could see what happened and know that an officer was responding appropriately and not out of line.....and we would not be having doubts about the officers' side of the story, which is not necessarily making complete sense to some of us. I'm not 100% convinced about that grand jury process being good enough. I know a bunch of you have unflinching faith in it---I don't. I fully realize how many innocent people have been locked up and even given the death sentence, only to be found innocent later. We all are aware of police brutality--incidents have been recorded. Now I am not saying Wilson was guilty---I am only saying I'm not so sure about his side of the story being completely honest, and even the police dept. admitted that they are not so sure of his testimony. I wonder what will happen when they do their investigation.....
Hate isn't the answer. This cop was on a tv interview now. He said he felt like the kid "was Hulk Hogan" and the cop himself "felt like a 5 year old". VERY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR. The cop should have called for police back up in that situation, he felt that kid was so big. What kind of a normal cop says that kind of stuff? I think he's weird, myself. Not saying the kid wasn't wrong. But this isn't necessarily a black and white issue: just because the kid did some wrong things, doesn't automatically mean the cop was PROFESSIONAL, either, or that he MADE GOOD DECISIONS. And once again, sir, I FIND THE JUSTICE SYSTEM HERE LACKING. Is that Okay with you, whether or not I have an opinion?

Yep,getting beaten by a Thug,or possibly more than one,in an Area of known Gangactivity would indubitably have been more professional!
maybe she means internal ...other than the Grand Jury who were just looking at whether to file a murder charge or the like. There may be an internal police Dept investigation by the internal affairs dept , or what ever they call it now....do you know has that happened yet? I don;t remember seeing it in the news, but I haven't read everything because , TBH, I am getting sick of all the publicity this has recevied

This is now why the movement to require all police officers to wear body cameras on duty is making its rounds into the become a law, rule.....
