Something smells rotten in Ferguson

I may have missed this. Who is claiming race isn’t deeply and primarily involved in this saga?

I find the # of people who donated # of dollars in # of days to be an interesting quantification of the support for the two main opposing narratives of this tragedy.

The disparity is surprisingly smaller than I expected, mind. Interesting that more people donated to Michael Brown even though the actual amount is less, too.

Really? I agree with most of your points, but this one is just nutty. Is the Ferguson PD’s evil so deep and subtle they can actually cause an officer in another county to have the same name as their own? Or did they merely rig the Google rankings so a cop in St Louis would come out above their own Darren Wilson, and also all the other Darren Wilsons around the country? Perhaps it’s not sheer coincidence, but I don’t get how.

Could be!

It could be that incident, (and maybe others), are coincidental.

This could also be a coincidence.

Notice: it took twice as many days to raise that similar amount.

Good god. How do people like this function in the real world? How do you go to work and pick up the kids every day with that much hate in your soul?

Incomprehensible to me too.

More than just the incident described in the headline at the following link

Audio of shooting reportedly obtained. It notes a “pause” between first 6 gunshots and subsequent shots. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/08/26/michael-brown-shooting-police-ferguson/14612081/

Also, I don’t advise going to this next link, but it was in the top news results for the audio, so i accidently. This fella definitely sees the world so differently it’s like bizarro. http://nlpc.org/stories/2014/08/26/holder-visits-st-louis-seeks-charges-against-innocent-cop

Pause plus four…

That’s right in line with what Dorian Johnson said.

In light of recent developments its… odd that the interest in this subject has dropped to zero.

Shall I create a new thread to renew interest?

You might try sharing new links. You know, like a normal person.

more crazy from the USA - here we have eight police officers shooting at a black man a total of 46 times. The black man being armed with a pocket knife. Eight police can’t overpower one guy? Or they realise no one will file charges, so a chance to use maximum violence. A summary execution for being homeless
