What I will only say about Brown, Wilson, and Ferguson

These are the facts as released by the prosecutor to the news media.  NPR and the New York Times are going through the information, and NPR has publicly posted all the evidence on their site.

• After stealing several cigars from a local tobacco and alcohol shop, Brown was confronted by Officer Wilson.


• Brown decided to charge at the officer through an open window, assulting the officer, punching him at times. The officer responded by pulling his gun (even though he had mace and a tazer)


• Brown tried to push the gun away from him.  The officer pulled the trigger twice, nothing happened.


• The officer pulled the trigger a third time, and it fired off a round, striking Brown.


• A few more rounds fired, and Brown was dead.


• Backup arrived 90 seconds after call.

These facts are supported by relable, consistent African American eyewitnesses, matching the numerous autopsies done by the local police, the FBI, and Brown's family lawyer.

In other words, if you were out rioting in Ferguson, then you are an idiot.  Rioting never solves anything.  Rioting makes things worse and causes more problems. New York, DC, Chicago, Oakland/San Francisco, even Seattle had peaceful protests with ZERO rioting. None!  Zip! Zero! Zilch!

Any more rioting there will only make me say "Nuke Ferguson and pave it flat.  It's a lost cause."
