Israelis in Gaza or Ferguson, MO?

add to that the fact that he wasn't suspended for shoving the reporter, he was suspended for making those comments that CNN dug up after he shoved their reporter

Did you even watch the video of the reporter getting shoved? It wasn't like he physically placed his hands on him and shoved him down. He was trying to control the crowd. He walked toward the reporter with his arm out. I don't agree that it was appropriate, especially if his intent was to try and disrupt and silence the reporter, but I'm really not witnessing the source for your outrage.

I wonder how France views us?

[smooth]

France's perspective is mentioned in the article so I recommend you read it if you are actually interested in the answer to your question

[frankenbeemer]

Le Figaro – the main conservative voice of Germany’s neighbor France – focused less on the remaining racial tensions in the United States than on “the excessive militarization of the police forces." Despite its right-leaning editorial stance, Le Figaro predicts repercussions for the Republican Party “which may be felt for a long time and even cost the GOP the next presidential elections.”

French police black-up, eat bananas and scratch themselves like monkeys at party.

More evidence in the Brown shooting. These witnesses "seem to describe cold blooded murder."

Well there you have it. Sweet little Brown was actually a thug and the "witnesses" lied about the details.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/22/ferguson-michael-brown-autopsy-report/17708789/

Michael Brown, the unarmed black teen who was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in August, was shot in the hand at close range and had marijuana in his system, an autopsy report by the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office concludes.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch published the report on its website. Suzanne McCune, administrator for the county medical examiner, acknowledged the accuracy of the report, but said the office did not release it to the newspaper.
The county report in some ways differs from the autopsy conducted at the request of Brown's family, which concluded the shots were fired from at least a foot away and as far as 30 feet away. Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Brown's family, said Wednesday that he and the Brown family don't trust the autopsy report.
The county report says a preliminary investigation indicates Brown became "belligerent" with officer Darren Wilson after Wilson asked him to stop walking in the street. The report says Wilson attempted to get out of his patrol car and that Brown, 18, pushed the door shut "and began to struggle with Officer Wilson."
The report says the gun went off during the struggle and that Brown fled. Wilson gave chase, the report said, and opened fire when Brown turned and started running back toward the officer.
Brown's family says the officer attempted to pull Brown into the patrol car and that the teen was killed when, after fleeing, he turned around and raised his hands to surrender.
Michael Graham, who is medical examiner for the city of St. Louis and is not part of the official investigation, reviewed the autopsy report and said it "does support that there was a significant altercation at the car."

Timeline: Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Mo.



The county autopsy report indicates a shot traveled from the tip of Brown's right thumb toward his wrist. The report says there is no stipple — powder burns around a wound from a gunshot at close range. But Graham told the newspaper that stipple does not always appear "when it's really close, such as within an inch or so."
The county report does indicate that the thumb wound contained "foreign particulate matter ... consistent with products that are discharged from the barrel of a firearm."
Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist in San Francisco, told the newspaper the autopsy indicates Brown was "reaching for the gun, if he has gunpowder particulate material in the wound." She added, "If he has his hand near the gun when it goes off, he's going for the officer's gun."
Crump said the leak of the report probably was meant to distract the public from asking why Wilson shot Brown as he was running away.
"We don't know if any of this is accurate because this is the St. Louis Medical Examiner who works with the prosecutor and the police every day," Crump said. "We haven't had a chance to vet what they have looked at and what they have reviewed. So the family definitely questions everything that the St. Louis Medical Examiner is saying and what they have done."
Pathologist Michael Baden, who conducted the autopsy requested by the family, has concluded that bullet wounds to Brown's arms could have been sustained by putting his hands up or crossing his arms.
Last week, The New York Times reported that Wilson told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as he struggled for control of the gun. The Times, citing government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation, said Wilson told the authorities that Brown reached for the gun, that it was fired twice in the car, and that the first bullet struck Brown in the arm while the second bullet missed.
Wilson told the authorities that Brown punched and scratched him repeatedly, leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck, the Times said.
That description of events conflicts with the description offered by Dorian Johnson, who was with Brown when the shooting took place. Johnson said Wilson was the aggressor, grabbing Brown by the neck, choking him and then grabbing Brown's arm to pull him into the car.
Johnson said Wilson pulled out his gun and shot Brown. Johnson said the men then fled but stopped when ordered to do so, and that Brown was shot when he turned around to surrender.
The shooting set off weeks of unrest in the predominantly black community outside St. Louis. A grand jury is hearing the case and will decide whether to charge Wilson with Brown's death.

And another witness just came around saying that Brown did not have his hands in the air but was actually still walking towards the cops just like what the "Arizona faction" had been saying the whole time.

^ racist.

[mrsleeve]

did not read, did it mention the blood evidence found on the officers weapon and IN the fucking cop car, like I read from CNN a few nights ago ???

[slaterd]

Because Brown was hit during the initial struggle in the car window when he reached for the cop's gun.

Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist in San Francisco, told the newspaper the autopsy indicates Brown was "reaching for the gun, if he has gunpowder particulate material in the wound." She added, "If he has his hand near the gun when it goes off, he's going for the officer's gun."

[BraveUlysses]

Ugh, why hasn't the official report been released before it's managed to be leaked to the press?

[slaterd]

More facts than what the rioters in Ferguson are going off of.

So with the lack of evidence it's better to justify these riots and calling for this man's head on a spike than to wait until facts come out?
That's calling the kettle black if I've ever seen it. When evidence starts coming out proving the officer's shooting was justified then "oh we need to wait until the evidence comes out. But until then we want his blood." That's the most ignorant, backwards social thinking I've ever seen.
