Officer Wilson made no statements and filed

[safeinOhio]

no reports until all of the physical evidence was in and it seems he is about the only one who's story didn't change.

So, if I witness a cop doing a crime I will now tell the them I will make no statement until I am in court and giving sworn testimony. Also telling them I had a clear view and saw everything. They will have no way to prepare for me and that statement will have them shaking in their boots until the trial.

1. Another job well done

2. You're forgetting that you may then find yourself subject to extra-judicial

execution by police death squad. Figure you're indulging in rhetorical excess here but, just in case, Ferguson demonstrates what happens when the people 'lip off' to cops. People die.

3. Another great reason to always

request your lawyer present to answer any questions. Then I'll tell them the above.

4. Had Michael Brown requested an attorney, he would still be just as dead, I'm guessing. That

'right to an attorney' stuff only goes so far and, when the social contract starts to fray, it's one of the first things to go, I'd wager.

5. That's what I've been saying about the lack of a police report. That intentional

omission was for the exact reasons you mentioned -- Wilson and his cronies can fill in the blanks as would be useful or necessary.

The lack of a police report was the first clue that this was going to go sideways.

6. The St. Louis County PD interviewed Wilson the day after the shooting

7. What's interesting is that the DA said last night that "social media"

started in immediately on this case, so the "interview" sounds contradictory and self-serving considering they could have just filed a police report.

edit: the police already had Wilson's physical exams to begin this "interview", as Wilson was taken in right away for examination.

8. I think everybody should use their 5th amendment right.

I have no problem with you using it, or Wilson using it.
