Showing Original Post only (View all)Here We Go Again. Just Like With Zimmerman. Wilson Won' t Have to Testify. [View all]
The racist media is once again pretending that statements of white people who weren't present is more credible than direct eyewitness testimony of black witnesses. It's infuriating!
Now I saw a video of Wilson walking around the body and he didn't look injured at all. Today on the radio I hear that a "friend" said that Brown punched him so hard that his eye socket was broken.
I'm just about fed up. I guess the prosecutors will let him show a videotape at trial of what happened just like in the Zimmerman fiasco. It's utterly absurd. Infuriating!

No, it shouldn't. Terrible idea. We should expand civil rights, not contract them.
