Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer in a St. Louis suburb, fit the description of a strong-arm robbery suspect that police were responding to the night he was shot, the Ferguson police chief said at a Friday press conference.

Police have said Brown was shot after an officer encountered him and another man on the street. They say one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car, then physically assaulted him in the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the officer's weapon. At least one shot was fired inside the car before the struggle spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times, according to police

Store owner looks Pakistani with thinning hair. How can he be a racist if he testifies against Mr Brown in any inquiry or trial. Plus Muslim too.......(part speculation)

So this is one 3rd world guy testifying about the shoplifting of another third world guy. Who is more sainted and higher on the politically correct food pyramid?

If this is true....then Brown’s buddy who was with him is a bald-faced liar. He very specifically stated on a CNN interview the other night, with his attorney present, that the officer was a Caucasian male.

This whole thing stinks.

Yup, same hat, same guy.

It takes a special kind of stupid to walk around in a hat that you just wore to rob a store.

I’m guessing his IQ would equal the temp on a spring morning...in Maine.

“People are killed by the hands/fists of others too often. Unarmed does not mean no threat.”

Now, how do you get that pounded into the thick heads of leftist journalists with an agenda?

It was being reported almost immediately that the suspect had been involved in some kind of crime at a convenience store (later identified as QT). That’s the reason QT was the first to be looted and burnt down when thieves decided to go on crime spree.

If the police weren’t releasing details, how then, did the community know about the QT robbery? Clue: Perps or victims involved, told.

Yes, Shirley, I jest :)

Just making fun of the leftist journalists and their attempt to assert just what I stated.

“Strong armed robbery?”

Obviously Michael “Big Boy” Brown does not need a gun in order to rob the comer store of a few inexpensive items like cigars to stuff marijuana into for him and his friends to start CHOOMING

this is exactly why we all need to wait for the whole story to come out.

In the posted police report on the c-store robbery, Brown is named, so he was known to police already?

Doug McIntyre said this morning that the cigars were Swisher Sweet — el Cheapos!

He said they’re popular with thugs because they’re used to make BLUNTS.

A blunt, in case anyone here doesn’t know, is made by taking the tobacco out of a cigar and either mixing it with or replacing it with pot.

Blunts (cigars) are used for more than pot...they're used as a drug delivery system for other drugs as well.

Have read allegations on a couple social media sites, that he & his crew were known to other local businesses for doing similar things.

I do not know if the allegations are true-just reporting what I read elsewhere.

Really, does it matter at this point?

The looters, agitators and agents provocateur need to keep the agitation going. Truth and/or facts do not matter. All that matters is that THEY get to line their pockets with cash and loot, and to do that they need to keep the narrative going: “Unarmed, innocent black child gunned down by Nazi police!”

I doubt a single one of them gives a damn about Michael Brown.

It's a outrage!!! The po-po shot and killed this gentle giant… huh? What? He's on tape doing what?? Strong-arm robbing a store??

Errrr, Michael Brown was only trying to rise up against the generational economic disadvantages handed down from decades of the evil whites forcing black people to have dozens of kids out of wedlock.

.....”So watch the media to quickly start worrying, NOT ABOUT THE ROBBERY NOR THE LAWFUL STOP, but about the supposed “Don’t shoot” and “hands up” narrative!”.......

The media will comply with the family’s Attorney and what makes for the most drama to keep people engaged so they all can milk it out as long as possible. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It appears there is video.

What does the store clerk have to say?? - he looks to be 1/2 the size of the strong-arm robber - as per the police chief’s description.

Hope he doesn’t clam up.
