    I also don't consider NBC (or ABC, CBS and PBS) to be quite as tainted and agenda-driven in their reporting as I do FOX, CNN and MSNBC, so I would hope that NBC did their due diligence and got pretty solid confirmation of this before Winter tweeted it to the world.

    A cynic would say he could have gone to the hospital as the first step in his defense. Or his WC adjuster advised it. Or he could have been hit. HIPAA never stops the patient from releasing his own medical records.

    Certainly all possibilities as well.

    What bothers me most about Ferguson is the ones screaming they want justice, really only want affirmation of their preconceived notions to further the progressive narrative of racial inequity throughout the country.

    If in the end the truth isn't what they want it to be they'll do everything in their collective power to muddy the waters and discredit the verdict. Because justice only matters when it furthers the cause.

    For that to be true you have to conclude that Wilson was 100% right and that "the ones screaming they want justice" know that Wilson was 100% right. Otherwise you have to at least consider that they are sincere.

    Sincere in their agenda. No sorry but there are more than a few demanding "justice" while pronouncing guilt for the officer and making it known that anything short of a guilty murder verdict will extract further civil disorder. Almost as if they're trying to intimidate any potential jury pool in advance to secure the "right verdict" even if the facts scream reasonable doubt if not innocence.

    Could it be that their daily interaction with that force is not a positive experience? You are pronouncing guilt on their motivations.

    Their motives are transparent. The facts concerning the shooting are murky at best.

    Good shooting? Bad shooting? I don't know? I want to find out.

    And if it's bad, does that reflect on an entire police force, an entire country, or one individual? And even if it's bad shooting do we have to assume it was racially motivated? I can link you dozens of instances of questionable police shootings of whites without breaking a sweat.

    You see this is what I hate. Let's make the U.S a racist country where blacks have no chance to succeed because whitey is stacking the deck against him ( or her) at every turn. To me it's this "victim mentality" that race baiting hucksters like Jesse Jackass and Al (not so) Sharpton have made their stock in trade that is far more damaging to the black community than whatever holdout pockets of racist's that are left out there. The self imposed and imagined hurdles that come with ingrained victim mentality hold back young blacks 1000x more effectively than the loosely based rabble of racist whites that care to do harm to that community.
