Michael did steal from the store. Cigars.
Michael did "assault and batter" the store owner. That's on surveillance cam tapes.
There is an official police report.
The officer attempting the arrest was assaulted by Michael and was injured. Stand by. Still lots of questions.
Agreed.
I was assuming that the officer knew Michael was the suspect in a robbery. He very well might not have known that at the time. No way for us to know with the facts on hand at this time.
It takes a long time to get at the basic facts.
Thanks for that Bunk...Read it late last night...
But the trial if there is one, will be about the shooting and Brown’s death...Hopefully they’ll be allowed to bring in his background which will likely occur as the strong arm robbery appears to have occurred just prior to the shooting.
But again, the big focus will be all about the shooting itself.
My hunch is it will boil down to the cops word against a cabal of questionable witnesses. I believe some of these witnesses have already made inconsistent statements. A trial should reveal that.
In fact, if I were the cop and if this were a legitimate shoot which very likely could be, I’d want my version of the event out there, or demand at least the preliminary shooting investigation be released.
All this waiting for the investigation to be revealed is only fueling negative wild speculation that the cop and his bosses are holding back and fear revealing their version of the event.
I really want to read the official version of the event from the officer involved in the shooting, since it was nearly a week ago he was interviewed and put in writing his version of this event.
I personally think it’s probably a real good time to get that out there.
