August 20, 201412 yr Not buying it... Why would it that this long for info that he was reaching in the cop car and beating his face in to come out? I haven't followed the whole ordeal closely enough to give my opinion but it seems like that would have been the first thing they said.
August 20, 201412 yr I haven't followed the whole ordeal closely enough to give my opinion but it seems like that would have been the first thing they said. They said early on his face was bruised and swollen but did not give details.
August 20, 201412 yr A Facebook page for a radio station claims they have sources saying Johnson has changed his story a little. They claim to have broke the autopsy news early as well but I'm not sure if that's accurate. Here's a link discussing it... http://threepercenternation.com/2014/08/breaking-news-dorian-johnson-has-now-admitted-that-michael-brown-attacked/
August 20, 201412 yr I can't. I don't spend my free time researching racial incidents between the police and black people. So you agree with mountainref? Cops are going to start turning a blind eye to black criminals because they are scared they'll be subject to race bating riots? You said that incidents such as those in Ferguson have been going on for decades. I asked you for an example. Based on your statement, I did not think that much research would be required on your part. If you don't wish to support your earlier assertion with at least one example, then I can certainly understand.
August 20, 201412 yr Not buying it... Why would it that this long for info that he was reaching in the cop car and beating his face in to come out?The news about Officer Wilson being punched in the face is not new - the news of the fracture is.
August 20, 201412 yr I heard it days ago. Makes more sense than Johnson's claim that the officer was trying to pull a 6'4" 300lb man into the driver seat with him. If this claim is true, they should have IMMEDIATELY released the info. How much trouble could they possibly have prevented? IMO, they are trying to justify the shooting. Beaten until his was almost unconscious, and we are just now hearing about it? Come on now... BTW, my questions aren't directed at you personally, just in general.

I will take this info. with a grain of salt like I take all the other info. that we get from the media.
August 20, 201412 yr No one has said anything about a dash cam. Are they triggered when the sirens come on and since he was just asking them to get out of the street they were never turned on? Or is the camera turned on separately?
August 20, 201412 yr Author You said that incidents such as those in Ferguson have been going on for decades. I asked you for an example. Based on your statement, I did not think that much research would be required on your part. If you don't wish to support your earlier assertion with at least one example, then I can certainly understand. Fine. Incidents such as the Rodney King and then the LA riots. Incidents such as police brutality taking place in Oakland, California in the 1960s and 70s which led to the Black Panthers being formed. Incidents such as the police and firemen spraying black protesters in Alabama. Believe the Governor of Alabama ordered that one. What was his name? The Bull? Incidents like those is what I was referring to. Incidents where blacks feel they are mistreated by the police. Now I have answered your question twice. So now, as I asked you before and deflected once again, I'm asking you for a second time: So you agree with mountainref? Do you believe cops will start turning a blind eye to black criminals in an effort to avoid being the cause of a riot? Are cops now going to scared of black people and turn a blind eye to black criminals?

Or is the camera turned on separately? Don't hold me to this, but I think I read that they are on order and not yet installed in the cars.
August 20, 201412 yr Author It has been out for a few days. Mainstream is just picking it up. Agree. I believe as early as Sunday or Monday this info came to light.
August 20, 201412 yr Don't hold me to this, but I think I read that they are on order and not yet installed in the cars. Holy crap it is Mayberry...well, Mayberry with black people.
August 20, 201412 yr Holy crap it is Mayberry...well, Mayberry with black people. Yes...they still have the dome light in the top center of the car.

Beaten until his was almost unconscious, and we are just now hearing about it? Come on now... BTW, my questions aren't directed at you personally, just in general. The department investigating had released very little. I'd say things are getting released now from somewhere else as leaks. He didn't need a swollen face to be justified btw...it does help his case and can easily be proven.
