If my experience in flight simulators tells me anything, their RWR is warning them they are being locked on by SAM radar.

They know that looting the TMobile might not get a police response, but they know they are gonna need H&R Block and so they leave it unlooted. The Taxman always finds you and then you need HRB.

Maybe one of those looters will be nice enough to steal an extra iphone6 and send it to bassem so he can continue livestreaming.

A plain-clothes police officer would just steal it again.

Er, remember that Vox article by Ezra Klein linked awhile ago?

quote:

There are inconsistencies in Wilson's story. He estimates that Brown ran 20-30 feet away from the car and then charged another 10 feet back towards Wilson. But we know Brown died 150 feet away from the car.
I wonder where he said this?

If he did, that certainly doesn't match any known evidence. Or was Klein mistaken?

T-Mobile and the other major cell phone providers are basically just Ma Bell reformed into a few smaller corporations so they can go "We're not TECHNICALLY a one company monopoly any more!". I can't really feel bad about a T-Mobile store getting looted.

WaPo - Darren Wilson explains why he killed Michael Brown

quote:

There was only other option he said he had. “I drew my gun…. He is standing here. I said, ‘Get back or I’m going to shoot you.’ He immediately grabs my gun and says, ‘you are too much of a pussy to shoot me.’” The men struggled for the gun, and Wilson pulled the trigger.

Nothing. “It just clicked,” Wilson testified. “I pull it again. It just clicked. At this point, I’m like ‘why isn’t this working,’ this guy is going to kill me if he gets ahold of this gun.’” It finally goes off and the car’s interior explodes with shattered glass and globs of blood. Wilson looked at the unarmed teen and the teen looked back. “He looked up at me and had the most intense aggressive face. The only way I can describe it, it looks like a demon, that’s how angry he looked. He comes back towards me again with his hands up.” But then, Wilson said Brown hit him again, and the cop couldn’t get his gun to work. It clicked again, until it finally discharged a second time.
A few things:
1) I thought Brown ran when he got shot, but... this seems to say that Wilson claims Brown fought some more and didn't run until the second shot - after he had already been shot once (globs of blood)?
2) Shattered glass... from... what? There's an odd-looking thing that reminds me of foam but is hard to make out...
Inside of driver's side
...but unless his driver's side window is what broke, and mostly evaporated into mist, where did the shattered glass Wilson alleges to being there come from? Why are there no clear pictures of shattered glass in the crime scene photos? If the glass was from his driver's side window, how did Brown get in to punch him?

Totally got Peaches, the one black guy in town, to agree that police are a total mess sometimes, but mostly he wanted to talk about how much he misses the Rax he used to eat at twice a day and why they replaced it with the biscuit house.

What actually happened:

Wilson put Brown in a choke hold, having stopped him for jaywalking and there was a struggle as a result. We don't know what the struggle involved, but basically the only person at the scene who gave Wilson a favorable review was Wilson himself. At the climax of the struggle, Wilson pulled his weapon and shot Brown.

Brown ran, Wilson fired wildly after him (into a crowded neighborhood, but whatevs I guess), Brown eventually stopped, turned around and raised his hands. Wilson then shot him center mass multiple times.


If he was not a cop, Wilson would be getting a trial right now. Just like how if he wasn't a cop, Ray Albers would be facing terrorism charges instead of being politely asked to resign after threaten to mow down a crowd of people with a machine gun.

But he is a cop, as the prosecutor loved to point out in his leering press conference. Choking black jaywalkers who don't cringe when he tells them where to stand is a part of his job.
