"Michael Brown’s family is beyond outraged at the devious way the police chief has chosen to disseminate piece mil information in a manner intended to assassinate the character of their son, following such a brutal assassination of his person in broad daylight.

There is nothing based on the facts that have been placed before us that can justify the execution style murder of their child by this police officer as he held his hands up, which is the universal sign of surrender.

The prolonged release of the officer’s name and then the subsequent alleged information regarding a robbery is the reason why the family and the local community have such distrust for the local law enforcement agencies.

It is no way transparent to release the still photographs alleged to be Michael Brown and refuse to release the photographs of the officer that executed him.

The police strategy of attempting to blame the victim will not divert our attention, from being focused on the autopsy, ballistics report and the trajectory of the bullets that caused Michael’s death and will demonstrate to the world this brutal execution of an unarmed teenager."

Will it be a coloring book?

The simple truth is that a 6'4" black male who weighs nearly 300 pounds isn't someone most Americans would want to confront under any circumstances.

The uncomfortable truth for a lot of people is that a 6'4", 300-lb. black male is the worst nightmare for most black Americans.

How dare they tell the truth about thug boy!

We haven't even had time to trademark his likeness yet.

Someone please correct me if am wrong but didn't information come out quicker, to this moment, than with the Zimmerman situation except for a photo of the Officer of Ferguson. I could be wrong in that prior statement but it seems the information releases are coming fairly quickly (imho).

[Sacajaweau]

There's a lot we don't know. We don't know how many witnesses there are.

We haven't seen the pictures of the cops bruises.

How long was it before we saw "GOOD pictures of George's smashed up face.

[Jim Noble]

They will never accept the truth about their son’s criminal activity!

They will never accept the fact that a big payday just got flushed down the toilet.

>"They’ll probably never believe their son was a thug."

He was such a good boy! His welfare checks were never late, and his SSI disability payments were just swell. We could never have afforded Tbones every night without his AFDC and EBTs.

Gee ... you certainly know how to cause someone hunger pangs that just ate .... Ya got me sniffing the computer screen ... Gee.

[no-to-illegals]

agreed ... and 2^nd is ruining this thread with food pictures.

[armydawg505]

I guess they were hoping his choirboy public persona would hold and no one would know he was not returning from church but returning from robbing a convenience store.

“what?”

I don’t know how much time I spent listening to Firesign Theater in the 70s. Still have a couple of cassettes around somewhere.

I notice mainstream news coverage of this has now basically gone to zero in the last few hours. It was all the rage last night.

"Mr. Crump was appointed as the inaugural Board Chairman of the Florida’s Big Bend Fair Housing Center, Inc., a Federal Grant organization dedicated to eradication of housing discrimination that operates on a $3,000,000.00 bi-annual budget"

Who supplies the $3,000,000 bi-annual budget for housing discrimination? I would think the quickest means to eradicate it would be to interrupt that funding stream.

If I may, here is today's most up to date and accurate description of the whole incident, with pictures and video.
