By "this" I assume you mean the protests and outrage?
Why does any set of continuing atrocities continue to occur but one of them somehow becomes "the straw"?
The question could be just as legitimately asked "Why has it taken so long for people to have had enough of it?" Mind you, it's not just black people out there protesting in Ferguson.
I said nothing about acceptable or unacceptable. I said they seem to be CREDIBLE witnesses in that from two different vantage points they describe the same events, they seem to be quite forthright and certain about what they've seen, and we haven't been given any reason to disbelieve them.
(Not yet at least. No doubt they'll come up with something.)
If conflicting accounts happen to come out from equally believable witnesses, they would have to be taken into account too.
I've seen mention here of "dozens of witnesses" who corroborate Wilson's account, but have seen no names or links referencing them.
And online search turns up predominately right winged and wacko sites that claim "dozens of witnesses" in their headlines. But in the text only one "Josie", a friend of officer Wilson's, is named.
Wilson's himself has never given any public statement, we have his account via the Ferguson police force (or at least, their legal reps) and if there were all of these dozens of witnesses standing around and present at the time of the incident, why are we only now just hearing of them?
Not to necessarily discount them, but legitimate questions, I would consider in deciding the reliability of such.
I commend them for at least being honest enough to state, up front, their true feelings.
As they were with Martin's murder. Though I predicted such, days ago, the similarities of how this is all developing is almost astounding even to me.
Almost.
