Funny, what other groups riot at the drop of a hat over an individual they don't know? Bueller? Bueller?

I watched this conference live.

2:20 is the Q&A about what the officer knew or didn’t know.

The Chief contradicted their own report saying the Officer heard the report and that’s why he stopped Brown.

This is really the gang that can’t shoot straight. So to speak.

It’s difficult to follow this story with all the twists and turns. But... aren’t the police saying that Brown attacked the officer?

Maybe when the officer stopped Brown, Brown believed he was being stopped because of the robbery. That would explain why he pushed the officer back into his patrol car, if indeed that’s what he did.

[Bullish]

What type of people want to smash windows and take other people’s property? There’s nothing that justifies that behavior.

[TigerClaws]

The police are saying Brown attacked the officer, reaches for his gun and pointed it at the officer at some point, then continued on. Then, when the officer told him to ‘freeze’ he turned and bull rushed the officer full speed (despite having a gun pointed at him) and the officer shot him multiple times as he kept charging.

The witnesses say there was a scuffle, officer said, “Freeze” and Brown turned either with arms in the air or arms in air and on his knees and was still shot by the officer.

One witness it the friend of Brown’s that was with him at the store they robbed. The other witness was in a car and said she saw it happen.

There was a report a teen girl had a camera/phone with video of the actual incident that was confiscated on the scene. Been unable to verify that and we obviously haven’t seen that footage if it exists.

What relevance does this have? Either he took some action that necessitated the officer shooting him, or he didn’t. Whether someone is Charles Manson or Mother Theresa, the police are only supposed to shoot someone under certain circumstances. It’s s not like suspect of certain crimes are supposed to be punished in the field.

[Tired of Taxes]

Thanks for the information.

Considering how Brown took what he wanted and then pushed the store owner, it seems that he would’ve been the type who would rough up an officer.

Maybe the autopsy will tell us more. And hopefully that cell phone video surfaces.

>" the robbery is irrelevant to the shooting incident"

Really? Are they that obtuse? Ship em back to uhfreaqkuh since they claim to be from there.

“This is really the gang that can’t shoot straight. So to speak.”

For sure. The first thing the good citizens of Ferguson should do is find a new Chief of Police. Second action, should be to incentivize the return of industry and - whites.

As a taxpayer, I am glad that the thug was euthanized (”put to sleep”) by the cop. Can you imagine how much us taxpayers would be paying to keep this thug alive for the next 50 years? Welfare payments, food stamps,,the cost of incarceration, court costs, public defenders, plus all the babies he would produce. The cop deserves a medal.

Obama's sons. The ones who think they have a right to your stuff. Oh, and they get mad when you think they should pay for it.

[Uncle Chip]

So then if he realized that did he call in for back-up as is standard protocol or did he just keep it to himself???

The PC is talking out of both sides of his mouth —

[Dusty Road]

A crime was committed and the call went out with a description of the suspects, all units on patrol would have heard it. It’s called a BOLO, it makes no sense that he wouldn’t have known unless he came on duty after the BOLO.

[Wolfie]

The robbery is the escape hatch for everyone to say Brown got what he deserved. Case closed.

[caww]

The robbery isn’t the reason for Brown being shot.

[Wolfie]

Not my point. It’s the reason most people need to hear in order to say “ move along”. Although for some, they don’t even need that.

[norwaypinesavage]

Regardless whether or not the officer knew Brown was the suspect, Brown certainly knew. Let's say you rob a bank, and 15 minutes later a cop tries to stop you. You would certainly assume it was because of the bank robbery, and you would act accordingly.

"Model citizen" Brown would not want an arrest to soil his business and college career, and so, may attempt to escape. To me, this explains most all of the actions of Brown

[weezel]

brown had his hands in the air and the cop assassinated him, but left the other one standing to testify against him? That dont add up.
