Blah blah blah.. . . But it doesn't confirm that it wasn't self-defense. If someone slammed a car door into you, what would you do?
Self defense isn't the issue here. Either Brown had surrendered and it was murder, or he hadn't and it was justified. PERIOD.
Bullshit. Bullies, whether or not they are sanctioned by the State, DO NOT get to just tell you what to do, and then shoot you dead with deadly force if you do not comply. Officer Wilson WAS NOT under any serious threat of life and limb. That is the simple truth. This teenager was already injured. This is well established.
Son, I seen a 5'3" woman get shot 4 times and run 40 feet and stab a man with a knife.
Put away your histrionics and try to listen to someone for a change, will you. When the body is injured, as when someone is shot, it produces massive amounts of endorphins to try to cope with the injury. This is similar to the body creating adrenaline which allow scared mothers to sometimes do things like lift the front end of a car off a child, or something of that nature.
This condition of course can't last long because the body just can't handle it, but it's basic science that it does happen and at least momentarily a person is almost super human. There have been MANY instances of a person who has been shot getting a hold of and harming the shooter.
Not to mention that isnt as if Wilson shot him once or twice, and then waited around then shot him some more. It was bang bang bang six shots in 5 or 6 seconds. That can happen to a person who isn't accustomed to shooting at human targets. The adrenaline kicks in and boom an entire magazine is emptied. I bet when asked Wilson didn't have any idea how many shots he fired.
I was an MP for 26 years, like it or not my opinion on this topic is more valid than yours. I actually find it sad that you don't think that is so.
Sorry about your fallacious reasoning kiddo.
The fallacy you have just engaged in is called, Argument from authority
Argument from authority - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
While I agree with you on the adrenaline issue, the fact of the matter is that Brown was IN RETREAT. Likewise, as has been established by the majority of witnesses, he HAD SURRENDERED, he had his hands up. So your hypothesis of an adrenal attack falls on it's face by prima facia reasoning.Fallacious examples of using the appeal include any appeal to authority used in the context of logical reasoning, and appealing to the position of an authority or authorities to dismiss evidence,[2][3][4][5] as, while authorities can be correct in judgments related to their area of expertise more often than laypersons,[citation needed] they can still come to the wrong judgments through error, bias, dishonesty, or falling prey to groupthink. Thus, the appeal to authority is not a generally reliable argument for establishing facts.[6]
If we were to argue from authority, my credentials in logical analysis would far out match yours. But I am not going to post them, because as I am well versed in logic, the presenting evidence, analysis, and all of those other matters, and since this is the internet, that's sort of pointless, isn't it kiddo?
First of all sonny, I don't care what you found on the internet, only a fucking fool believes that someone who has you know done this for a living isn't more qualified to speak on the subject than someone who has not.
Second of all junior, you once again show that you don't understand the intricacies of the law.
the fact of the matter is that Brown was IN RETREAT.
First of al the forensic evidence PROVES that Brown was moving TOWARDS Wilson when he was shot.
But just for shits and giggles let's say you were right and Wilson fought with Brown, Brown tried to get Wilson's gun, and was shot, then Brown retreated
Wilson is still permitted to shoot him if he feels that's the only way to prevent the felon from escaping. You really don't seem to get that. The law allows a police officer to use deadly force to prevent a suspected felon from fleeing.
So , even under your made up scenario it's a good shoot.
All of this is from Wilson's account. Of course Brown was moving towards Wilson, which direction would he be moving if he were surrendering?
Brown is not a felon. Why are you making stuff up?
