Long Shot . . .

. . . maybe

. . . but not impossible. . .


(from Michael Phelan, Social Security Works)
". . . And now, with Sen. Bernie Sanders formally announcing his run for President, we have our first declared candidate who is in favor of expanding Social Security. That means we have the support of 1 out of 2 Democratic candidates so far—let's change that. We have been working together to keep the numbers in Congress going up—we need to keep the same pressure on every candidate that wants to be our President. We need to make sure that expanding Social Security is a core Democratic plank—and that those who would cut benefits and services are the ones on the fringe. . . Senator Sanders joins Hillary Clinton as an official candidate. So far Clinton has not taken a public position on expansion. But with 79% of likely voters (including Democrats, Republicans and Independents) in favor of expanding Social Security, the choice is obvious: We need to expand our Social Security system! . . ."

Something Fishy . . .

Missouri police office Darren Wilson says that he could not have done anything differently to have prevented Brown's death. Wilson, who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown,a total of 12 times on August 9 according to autopsy reports also said he had a "clean conscience" and that he was "simply doing his job", a surprisingly cold, over-simplified conclusion to a complex and real situation that has evoked extremely emotional reactions from many people.

Granted, the officer felt that Michael Brown was a threat to his own life.  He is a police officer.  He has been trained to react when encountering just such a situation.

Granted, Officer Wilson was taken aback when a twice-shot, bleeding but unarmed Brown came running towards him again.  Was his training inadequate in providing him a tactic for subduing a wounded man instead of shooting him multiple times in the head?

Granted, Michael Brown may have been belligerent, large and scary to Wilson, but Wilson was and is not the complete justice system contained in one human package. 

Granted, the grand jury rendered their decision but the conduct of the prosecutor and Wilson himself show a remarkably insensitive disposition to the entire episode.

Something is fishy and less than 'just' in this situation.
