Everyone update your flowcharts as I ask the question ... Did the $48.99 include tax, because someone told me once that robbery is only a felony if it is more than $50.00?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Assault battery is a different matter. Clearly there was an assault and Battery.

[skeeter]

So what? Brown thought he did.

[dalebert]

shouldn’t he withhold that kind of information???

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

I wonder what Brown's state of mind was that day? OH WAIT, IT'S ON VIDEO! HE COMMITTED A ROBBERY AND BELIEVED OFFICER WILSON WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM TO JAIL.

Allegedly, Brown punched Officer Wilson in the face. I suppose Obama thinks blacks are entitled to do that too, given all the slavery Wilson is guilty of. /s

[Parley Baer]

I thought the officer was responding to the 911 call of the armed robbery in the convenience store. I would have suspected that the description of the robbers would have gone out over the broadcast.

[scouter]

If I were Darren Wilson, I'd seriously consider moving my bank account to a foreign account and leaving the country permanently, before being charged with a crime, to some place that does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S., so that when I was charged I could not be extradited back. 'Cause there's no way he's gonna get a fair trial, and even if he did, the lawyer's fees will ruin his future.

But that doesn’t mean Michael Brown & Dorian Johnson knew that the officer didn’t know or wasn’t stopping them because of the robbery. They’d just committed a strong arm robbery & a police officer pulls up....
Of course they assumed the officer was there because of the crime they just committed. Hence Michael Brown’s aggression & resistance.

Strong-arm Robbery is also Robbery 2 degree; a class B felony. There is no dollar amount involved.

[the officer] Did Not Know Michael Brown Was Suspect In 'Strong-Armed' Robbery

Well, Mr. Brown most certainly did know he had committed the strong-arm robbery and felony assault.

The primary pro-Brown witness to the events surrounding the shooting was his accomplice in the robbery, therefore his account of the events are useless, impeachable, or just plain unbelievable.

The officer is lucky to be alive. The whole civilized world is lucky that Mr. Brown is dead right there.

[struggle]

Brown knew, that’s why he resisted arrest.

[tophat9000]

So it would change in Browns mind from:
“Im getting stopped for no reason” (im innocent of anything) to “Im getting stopped for a reason” (im guilty of a crime of physical assault in the last hour)

So are to more likely to physically assault a cop if your both guilty of a crime and you had already physical assaulted someone else in the last hour

[DiogenesLamp]

Well, if this commenter is correct, the officer DID know that the suspect fit the description of a robbery suspect.

445 I'm looking at the police report on a robbery of cigars and an assault in a store on W. Florissant Ave, Ferguson, last Sa.. The clerk id'd the suspect who also assaulted him as a black male wearing a white t-shirt, khaki longer shorts, yellow socks and a red cardinal's baseball cap. He also said a second suspect was with the first, but didn't give any particulars. He said they left the store and headed up W. Florissant north toward Quiktrip. The robbery took place between 11:52:58 and 11:54:00, per the video, and a description of the suspect was put out over the radio around 11:57.

This shows that when the patrol cop accosted Brown and Johnson on a street not too far from W. Ferguson a mere three minutes later, he wasn't harassing them for "walking while black" --- Brown fit the description of the aggressive thief, down to his socks. That still doesn't say anything about what happened after that, but at least initially, the cop was just doing his job.
