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

Likely he went to his knees once the bullets hit. I expect he collapsed to his knees on the way down.
What kind of witnesses are there though? More types like his co-burglar? Or maybe some enterprising types who hope to sell their stories to a news network - maybe get a new free outfit and hair-do before going on camera?
This is the Ferguson Police Department report that names Michael Brown as a suspect in a strong-arm robbery that occurred minutes before the teenager was shot dead last Saturday by an officer who had confronted him and a friend as they walked in the street.

I’m almost 60 years old and still use the “comical” instigator of “Let’s fire up this blunt!” among friends.
Yes, I get a few quizzical looks but, for the most part, I get chuckles.
EYE-IZ a child of the 70’s!
Expect the MSM to be in full cover your @ss mode from now on. Thank Al Gore for inventing the Internet.
And why I can't understand the support of the FOX network by so many conservatives. IMO, they're just as bad as the others - worse, in fact, as they claim to be "fair & balanced."
Best news comes from right here on FReep, inluding and especially from the comment threads.
But you knew that.
Looks like the shop where the store clerk worked was one of the first targets for the rioters (!).
Smacks of revenge, or perhaps an attempt to destroy the camera evidence.
Even if he didn’t have a gun, he was “armed” - with his fists, feet and his sheer size.
The clerk being intimidated in those photos looks terrified - too bad HE didn’t have a gun - there’s a reason Col. Colt called it the “equalizer.”
That is a different Darren Wilson.
Easy mistake to make, but apparently its a different guy.
Just rubbing the MSM’s faces in their “unarmed” meme.
True.
He was carrying candy, just trying to get home to watch WWE - the same way Trayvon, an innocent child, was just carrying skittles and Arizona Watermelon Tea (or whatever it was) minding his own business when he was gunned down for racial reasons by a raging lunatic.
The media will spin it that he was an innocent child with candy. Appears they're already covering up the truth. Jerks.
Are you certain?....let’s find a picture of the guy if that isn’t him...????
Hold on caww, please. Am on 'if' here and so are many others. This post maybe is wrong. It will be known soon enough but one of our posts is wrong ... Mine or Yours.
This case will crumble even more once they show images of the shooting officers face. He could have had his bell rung and not have known he was shooting or was blinded by blood in his eyes or there could be other factors. This is why it is stupid to jump to conclusions.
I heard the adult “kid’s” (he is 18) family lawyer on Hannity’s radio show yesterday. You could tell that he knew there was more to the story.
Another dead thug???
I just saw this
Apparently the Ethical Society of Police say he’s not the guy who shot Brown.
Not absolute I know.
***looks Pakistani with thinning hair. How can he be a racist***
150 years ago People of India were called n**gers by the British.
STL post dispatch said this is not the same officer from Ferguson.
