So there's no reporters in the streets anymore? They all gathered up at the command post.

The pig patrol is going hold a media briefing soon...

One thing is certain, they have a top shelf Forensic expert looking at the evidence now.

Michael M. Baden (born July 27, 1934)[1] is a physician and board-certified forensic pathologist known for his work investigating high-profile deaths and as a host of HBO's Autopsy. He is also the Forensic Science Contributor for Fox News Channel. He has been the author or co-author of more than eighty professional articles and books on aspects of forensic medicine and also of two popular non-fiction books, Unnatural Death: Confessions of a Medical Examiner and Dead Reckoning: the New Science of Catching Killers. He and his wife have written the thriller Remains Silent.

Education and personal life

Baden is of German descent. He received his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine in 1960.

He is married to Linda Kenney-Baden who served as one of Phil Spector's main attorneys during his capital murder trial and replaced Bruce Cutler after his withdrawal from the proceedings. [4] They have four children.

Yep.......

Either this shit will die off in a couple days or the autopsy will bring it back to square 1

Man them people told the media they not backing down until the cop who shot mike brown is charged!....imma take them for their word

They are mad and it is totally understandable. The whole affair has been handled badly and it needs to be investigated inside and out. That is going to take time. But what we see from a loud, lawless few is that don't care, we are mad now and they want a lynching.

This principle goes back to roman times however and states 'Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat' ( Proof lies on him who asserts, not on him who denies ) or as we say now, presumed innocent until proven guilty.

That's a nifty concept for most people until it applies to someone they don't like. No matter what they look like or what they believe.

I'll step down and return the box to the next voice.

The problem is that for the average black man its presumed guilty until proven innocent where it's in reverse for the cop. In the end it boils down to a white men word being right and more legitimate then a black man's word and that's why blacks will always call for judgement because if a black man killed a white cop he would have been thrown under the jail. Not taking a person jab at you but it's easy for whites to say blacks or acting lawless and uncivilized when their ancestors grew rich and fat of the backs of mine and others and routinely killed and maimed them for fun. It's hard to step back and look at the fucked up system them parents and grandparents but in place and profited off of

In the white right wing world they are already saying that since mike brown got shot in top of his head he was running head first at the cop. For me he got shot in eye. How the hell would he continue to run at a cop at 35 feet away with a blown out eye.

Nigga naw this can't be life......

I agree with you, prejudice and mistrust are a human failing. For early humans, this was a survival instinct. It's how are brains are wired like it or not imo and has been studied as well. It doesn't serve us well anymore. Not everyone is like that but understanding our brains explains a lot of the fucked up things we do to each other and can help overcome it with knowledge.

Are humans hard-wired for racial prejudice?

The answer is more complicated than it seems.

Some of the most compelling evidence for a hard-wired racial divide concerns a brain region called the amygdala, which plays a central role in processing fear and aggression. If you were put in a brain scanner that identifies levels of activity in different regions and shown a picture of something scary, your amygdala would leap into action, telling your heart to race and your skin to get clammy. It would also help you decide what to do next: Run like hell? Pull the trigger? Wet your pants?

Most regions of the brain are "told" what you are seeing only after that information has first been processed by specialized areas of the cortex — a glacially slow process (by neurobiological standards, that is; it takes about half a second). But the amygdala can get information far more quickly, through pathways that bypass those lumbering cortical regions. The amygdala can register information that appears for less than one-20th of a second, a time so short that you aren't even aware of what you saw. And unfortunately, that information isn't necessarily accurate.

So how does race enter into this picture? Numerous studies have found that if you put someone in a brain scanner and show him brief flashes (one-20th of a second) of emotionally neutral faces, the amygdala activates if the face is someone of a different race.

Now consider a brain region called the fusiform cortex, which specializes in detecting faces. Work by John Gabrieli at MIT shows that the fusiform isn't as active when viewing the face of someone of another race. It's not about novelty: Show a face with bright purple skin and there isn't that blunting of the fusiform response. Other studies have shown that brain regions involved in empathy are more active when seeing a needle poking a finger with your own skin color than one of another race.

All this plays out behaviorally too. In work by Joshua Correll at the University of Colorado, volunteers played a video game in which they rapidly saw pictures of people holding either a gun or a cellphone, with the instruction to shoot only those with guns. When white participants (including police officers) were shown an African American, they tended to shoot faster and were more likely to mistake a cellphone for a gun.

All this is not only depressing, it's puzzling, if you think about it.

For the majority of human history, people lived in hunter-gatherer bands where they never met anyone of another race. The nearest such person was likely to be hundreds or thousands of miles away. It's only extremely recently, in evolutionary terms, that humans have become mobile enough to encounter other races. Why, then, should our brains have evolved to have such automatic, inevitable, aversive processing of people of other races when such encounters have played virtually no role in how humans evolved? The answer is, they haven't. The aversive processing is neither automatic nor inevitable.

***NOTE THE ARTICLE HEADING ( ARE HUMANS hard-wired for racial prejudice ) NOT WHITES, NOT BLACKS, ASIAN ETC..BUT HUMANS.

Read the rest of the article if you are interested, not all peoples brains are alike which can explain why some are hypersensitive outside of conditioning and others are not sensitive at all.

if this nigga say multiple molotov cocktails were thrown at police one more time...

So did this study use people that weren't aware of the rules of racism and weren't already influenced by racist environments?

It takes the average child around puberty to get the idea. So unless this study used younger children, who I've all seen play with each other with no concern for race, it's just science being used to naturalize racism.

 

[kzzl]

Now they got this token cop being used to tell a blatant lie.

Didn't this the Vice reporter just say no molotovs were thrown from that crowd of protesters and he's got it on camera?

They got her away from that bus of people arrested quick, they don't want people to see that shit.

Place is has potential for ripe organ jacking. Someone should keep an eye on the missing persons reports after this.

 

[CHICAGO_BREED]

Just don't sound right. Don't sound right to me. They using Ron Johnson. He never read off a paper before but now he is.......yea ok.

 

[VIBE]

I don't get it man...

we are all humans; we aren't different at all... how can anyone be so fucking awful ad disregard someone's life like this?

an young unarmed man was shot dead, giving up to the police officer...

they smear shit on Browns name, hold the cop in safe keeping and keep attacking innocent protesters and media...

how can you be regarded as a human being if you're the one attacking innocent ppl?

shit is mind boggling..

fuck, it's such a sad situation.. and he doesn't matter because of the color of his skin and because he "robbed" a liquor store for some fucking cigars...

smh...

horrible...

 

[kzzl]

All these cameras, has anyone recorded an actual molotov being thrown at the police? Maybe it's on the tv footage, I ain't seen it once on any stream yet.

For those willing to trek back, is that store shown in the Ksdk report the same one that was being protected by the neighborhood in those earlier pics?
