Obviously some are looking for "payback" after the Trayvon verdict

[sweetwater5s9]

Benjamin Crump, the Tallahassee attorney who represented Trayvon's family now represents Brown's family, as well.
Crump has called Brown's killing a "very troubling" execution.

In a letter addressed to the family of the man shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., Trayvon Martin's mother extended a sympathetic arm and welcomed them to the "exclusive yet growing group of parents and relatives who have lost loved ones to senseless gun violence."

Sybrina Fulton's letter was posted to Time magazine's website late Monday night. In it, Fulton described the shooting victim, 18-year-old Michael Brown, as "a son who barely had a chance to live."

"Further complicating the pain and loss in this tragedy is the fact that the killer of your son is alive, known, and currently free," Fulton wrote in the letter.

"If they refuse to hear us, we will make them feel us," Fulton wrote in closing. "Feeling us means feeling our pain; imagining our plight as parents of slain children. We will no longer be ignored."

Last week, Ferguson Chief of Police Tom Jackson told KMOV’s Laura Hettiger the officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown on August 9 “was hit” and the “side of his face was swollen” in the moments leading up to the shooting. The Gateway Pundit is now saying it learned “from a source within the Prosecuting Attorney’s office and confirmed by the St. Louis County Police” that the officer suffered an “orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket” during his confrontation with Brown.

Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

Nabil Khattar, CEO of 7Star Industries – which specializes in firearms training for law enforcement and special operations personnel – confirmed that police are typically instructed to use deadly force if in imminent danger of being killed or suffering great bodily injury.

“You may engage a threat with enough force that is reasonably necessary to defend against that danger,” he said.


Common sense...

This was a 6-4 300LB bully, who thought he could put a Whooping ass on "5-0" Guess that did not work very well for him!!

Did Brown ignore the advice of the police officer, and continue to follow the cop?
 
And why isn't Trayvon Martin's mother's last name "Martin?"  Was Trayvon illigitimate?
 
And why isn't Trayvon Martin's mother in jail for making terroristic threats and inciting riots?
