As I previously posted I have skim-read a few selected chunks of it and found it is not generally worth investing my time unless I wanted to read the entire thing, and I don't. I have a lot of other, more important reading that I haven't had time to do.
>> There is a lot of question about that.
Apparently not in the minds of the decision makers, the members of the grand jury. That is how our system works.
>> Even if it were true, he didn't have to chase Brown down and shoot him.
Police officers are trained to shoot to kill and until they can reasonably believe the threat is eliminated. The number of shots required is simply not a material factor. If it is one or ten just doesn't make any difference.
>> All but two of the witnesses who were asked, said that Brown had his hands up. Despite that, Wilson continued firing.
Yeah, that's just not clear at all. For example, one of the witnesses for whom I did read the testimony indicated he had his hands up but put in the context of trying to figure out where he had been shot. I don't think the PBS summary really conveys the detail that the grand jury had to work with.
At any rate, it is obvious that the people best in the position to make the decision were those on the grand jury, they made the decision, and nothing you or PBS says can credibly contradict it. You are entitled to your opinion but it will ALWAYS be of less value than the people who fully comprehend the evidence. |
