How do you know his hands were in the air?
I thought those little sweet cigars were popular with urban youth...
Ah, will dig further. Been seeing conflicting reports of which store he robbed vs which was burned. Would be interesting to know if the one he robbed was later attacked in retribution and whether that sparked subsequent rioting.
Chances are the Officer was carrying a 9mm.And the shot in the cruiser was a gut shot.
Most likely the threat was over at that point.
heard today it was not same store but nearby or next door
But why did they not disclose this information quickly?

Would it have really mattered? I think the hoodrats KNEW Brown had robbed the QT and that he went for the gun but the truth of matter is - they don’t care.
Any excuse to riot and loot is OK.
And I’m thinking about the Zimmerman photos. It wasn’t until much later did we see the front/back bloody pics of George’s punkin.
Unintentionally i presume. He thought he could get away with it, and it would build his street and cell cred.
Strongarm robbery by African-American youths is considered ‘Affirmative Action’. Rage and Riots must continue.
You’ve got bad information. That is not what happened according to the police reports.
It took more than 100 officers from 15 jurisdictions several hours to secure the scene and remove Brown’s body.
Authorities explained the delay of the body’s removal at a Sunday press conference.
“We’re going to take a look at this, we’re going to do it thoroughly. I’d like everybody here to appreciate that it took a very long time yesterday to process the scene. We only get one opportunity to take a look at these scenes. There are only the scene one time,” St. Louis County Police Department Chief John Belmar said.
This was reported Sunday.
These predators are quick on the draw, ruthless where political advantage is found and countering them effectively takes a level of sophistication completely lacking in Fergeson.
Who has said the rgug that was shot had his hands up ? From my reading so far the ONLY witness that made that claim is also the dead thug’s partner in the Strong arm Robbery
So as a former Prosecutor is that what you would consider evidence or would you want to look at dash can video and audio from the cruiser and review the coroners report on the entry wound(s)or just fall for the public pressure and ruin a Good Cop?
No one’s saying you need to let the guy go. The issue is whether the officer can use lethal force to apprehend. And we just don’t have enough facts yet (specifically, facts about what actually happened during Brown’s encounter with Wilson, as opposed to the earlier thuggery) to say.
IIRC there was a bullet hole in the roof of the car
There were at least two other witnesses who said the same thing.
Exactly, force with force. If someone’s beating you while trying to get your gun from you, you’d better assume they intend to kill you with it, and not shop around on your belt for the most fashionable piece of bling to deploy on them.
Furthermore, you have a desperate subject who has just tried to kill a cop fleeing (fleeing, that is, if you believe the proven liar of a witness, who has already been shown to be Brown’s criminal accomplice) the scene—you’re bloodied and bruised from the beating, your ears ring from the shot inside the car—you’re going to risk the danger to the community, and merely HOPE such a giant, murderous beast is safely captured later?
Ferguson Market, about 1000 ft away from QT.
You know, if he did rob a local market and not the QT that might explain why the robbery victim looks like a tiny Indian guy. May have been the owner.
Thanks, trisham.
Also, I will never forget Wolf Blitzer’s face about 2 hours ago when he said that he had interviewed Michael Brown’s friend Dorian three days ago, and Dorian had never told him (Wolf) that he and Mike had robbed cigarrillos from a convenience store. It was precious....
yea, many folks in the minority only see a man killed(regardless of the reason), the bs they believe is so ingrained that reason is not possible.
the only reason they invoke is hatred and racist rants to excuse their lack of ability due to the bs they have absorbed forever..terrible circle..satanic and perpetrated by the black leaders, jackson, sharpton(twanna brawley)etc...
what they are after is a class of people who do nothing for themselves and blame everyone else, as far as I am concerned sharpton, the naacp, obamma,and holder are guilty of 2nd degree murder by their perpetual bs..stoking the fires of ignorance and hate..many whites are dead because of this, many blacks are dead because of this..disgusted beyond words
