An interview with Ferguson residents.

[Cutz]

It's possible to me that Officer Wilson was a good cop and the shooting was justified. It's possible to me that he was a dishonorable cop... I don't know what went down, so the possibilities are all open in my mind.

As for the examples that you suggested would have been better for me to use in my post -- they're not related to the case at hand. I prefer to use what's relevant, as I did.

Ok. I'll simplify my argument.

The examples you used are not relevant to the case at hand. Examples of three dismissed cops in the aftermath of a shooting have no bearing on the shooting itself. Saying, "It's possible the shooting was justified" or "It's possible the shooting wasn't justified" is perfectly reasonable. I'm not closed off to either possibility at all. The outrageous feelings of cops from other districts in a major metropolitan area, however, only serve to sensationalize one side. It's agenda based reporting from the start. It's the same (but opposite) as officers releasing the video of the strong-arm robbery that Brown committed... it has no bearing on the incident because the officer knew nothing about it.

I'm not going to put words in your mouth or tell you how you think. I don't blame you for regurgitating biased information. I do call on you to recognize when it is biased tho. If I'm a teacher... and another teacher from my school is arrested for having a relationship with a student... am I suddenly a pedophile as well? If I'm accused by a student of sexual harassment, does the other teacher's arrest imply that I too am guilty? It should have no bearing.
