QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 11:38 AM) I heard about it on the radio originally, but I did find this: http://fox4kc.com/2014/08/14/witnesses-to-...s-last-minutes/ That was two independent (from Brown) witnesses driving in the area whose retelling matches what another witness saw out her window. Thanks. I think I read that, didn't realize it was two women's account. I have to imagine there were more too, but we're told to stfu to the media about it to police, which they should.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 11:38 AM) That wasn't him in the robbery photos. Looks like the same person from the video of the dead person in the street.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 11:16 AM) We have at least three if not four independent witnesses corroborating the story that Brown was shot in the back as he attempted to flee, and then was shot several more times after turning around with his hands up. Whether or not he stole some cigars before that isn't relevant. Whether or not he struggled with the officer before that isn't relevant. None of that excuses shooting a fleeing suspect in the back and then shooting him more when he turns with has hands up. And then we have them leaving him laying on the ground for four hours and the ensuing military-style crackdown of the city. Even if Michael Brown had been armed and presenting a legitimate threat to the police, their post-shooting actions would remain completely inexcusable and fully justify taking the "f*** the police" side of things. Can you link to said witnesses? I could find two. One testimony which I'm sure will be thrown out as unreliable because he was part of the robbery. Another is a woman who came forward 4 days later. Honestly I'm not trusting any of the witnesses. I'd wait for the autopsy.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 09:03 AM) I'm surprised how many people said they would stop watching baseball if they moved. Are there that many fans of the team that really aren't fans of the game in general? As for myself, I remember thinking about this when they almost moved to Tampa. I would still be a fan of the Sox but probably only go to local minor league games. Love baseball but I'd stop watching MLB as I'd feel betrayed.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 08:02 AM) About to officially release the cops name. We'll see if Anonymous was right. They werent. Twitter actually suspended their account yesterday for being wrong. Their guy didn't even for for the pd. Anyways, David Wilson is the guys name. He was responding to a robbery at a convience store.

I imagine I'd stop watching mlb all together.

If you want to attract younger fans, Hawk is absolutely the solution to that, not getting rid of him. He's fun, his nicknames are cool, and his catchphrases are memorable. He got me to be a Sox fan as I'm sure he has many others. He's the Dick Vitale of baseball. He may not be for you, but he's good for the game.

Haha that writer thinks he's way more important than he is. Talk about looking to be offended.

Ugh, if Werner gets it I will be sick.

No idea where it ranks compared to other cities but the murder rate is 9.4 per 100k people as of 2012.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) Army or National Guard? What's next? SWAT teams? SWAT has been there since the beginning. It'll probably be state pd taking over.

@TheAnonMessage Bryan Willman is not even an officer with Ferguson or St. Louis County PD. Do not release more info on this random citizen.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 07:46 AM) Hope so. They aren't helping matters. Well they just posted the guys name supposedly. They better be right or it'll probably undue any good that could come from this situation.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 07:39 AM) Two witnesses, who haven't even been officially interviewed, say he was shot in the back as well. A twitter acct, @TheAnonMessage, is claiming to have the name of the cop who killed Brown and has tweeted it. Is threatening to release his address as well. Don't know how reputable that is though. I got suckered into that account yesterday for some other stuff they were saying. It's a fraud.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) The presence of a few non-peaceful protesters throwing some rocks or bottles does not justify the response and the demands of the police here. They are indiscriminately tear gasing people, including the media and residential neighborhoods. They are arresting members of the media for taking pictures of the police. They have been attempting to push media out of the city all together. Their first announcement before the latest round of tear gassing was a demand that everyone turn off their video cameras. And this is all in response to a community reaching the breaking point after the police gun down an unarmed 18 year old kid, shooting him in the back and letting him rot on the pavement for hours and then refusing to explain themselves. They've burned down buildings and are using molotov cocktails and possibly firing shots. Let's not try and downplay what the protesters are doing. The police response has been too much though. They will pay for it through the media, I have little doubt.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 09:54 PM) Something has to be going on that the public doesn't know about it. Either the Ferguson PD is so concerned about hiding stuff they are acting so violent, or these "peaceful" protesters are causing more trouble than being reported. I'm not picking a side but there seems to be a puzzle piece missing in all of this. Especially given how relatively quiet the national media has been about this. Well the protesters are very violent with the police, no doubt. But dumb of the police to pass off the media.

Deadspin with clickbait. Shocker.

Seems like a pretty good non-lotto draft.

I've been to Disney 25+ times but can't help you much with a toddler. All my recent trips have been doing all 4 parks in 1 day and you're definitely not going to go for that experience. Magic Kingdom is great. Fantasy Land is all new. Lines used to be brutal there but with some of the newer rides Disney seems to have worried about higher capacity levels a lot more so it should be a lot better now. Hit up the classics: Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mountain, Small World, Peter Pan. He'd also love Buzz Lightyear and the new Mine train looks cool. Figure out the fast pass system before you go. It's confused a lot of people I don't like Animal Kingdom at all. Just not a lot there imo. Personally I'd go to the Universal Parks over any of the Disney Parks these days.

It's his tshirt day Monday. Hope Sale starts then.
