Ferguson, MO protests and police brutality.

It's all over the internet. To put it simply, Mike was accused of robbing a convenient store. The owners of the store denied any such robbery. The police had footage of a black person who was assaulting a woman in ten store. Mike was shot five or six minutes after the "robbery"Thing is, Mike was about a mile away from the store when he was shot. He was also wearing a different outfit, and the footage was from 2 weeks prior to the shooting. Apparently he robbed a store, changed, then walked a mile in five to six minutes.If you don't believe me, look it up yourself. But this is what happened. Mike is innocent, Mike is dead, he's obviously not the first and according to Luxx's post more have died already. Welcome to the new america.

Wherever anyone overstepped boundaries, they should be punished. I have yet to be convinced Darren Wilson did.

Mike Brown is innocent. He is absolutely innocent and the proof is almost ridiculous.

What evidence could you possibly have of that?

Whatevs, it's gone from, "That's not the definition of assault!" to "common sense!" to "argumentum ad populum" to "wait until he gets his day in court." Which will never happen, refer to Thundercat's post as to why.

So by law and common sense, you're wrong. That's my point.

Coffin vs. US. You say he criminally assaulted Lemon, when that has not been proven via a valid public trial, the verdict pronounced by a jury of his peers. You are, therefore incorrect.

Really? Define "serious" in quantitative terms. How about offensive or provocative. How many newtons? What surface area? What duration? What coordinates on a person's body? Your own quote says "normal person".

But fine, I will join you at this inane echelon of ticky-tacky legal sophistry. The cop who "assaulted" Don Lemon has not been found guilty by a jury of his peers. Ergo, he has not broken any laws, though he may be suspected. Ergo, he has not yet legally assaulted anyone.

That "offensive or provocative" thing is subjective, and as a matter of fact refers to a "normal person". Common sense.

What you call 'common sense' is utterly subjective. The law at least makes a stab at objectivity.

Turns out you're wrong, but accepting you were right,

So?

You aren't making a legal appeal in a court, you are making a moral and emotional appeal on a forum. Argumentum ad baculum/populum has no sway here.

Laws=/=common sense. Super hard to get upset about a gentle walking push.
