Thomas Jackson, Ferguson Chief of Police
Posted on 08/15/2014 7:19:37 AM PDT by McGruff
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

........“According to Dorian Johnson, the officer screamed at them to “get the f*** on the sidewalk.”.....Makes the officer look worse, like a raging, out of control maniac”.......
Nah, ...sometimes it’s necessary to get the attention from someone who’s resisting that you mean business, requiring the use of vocabulary they well understand. Considering also the population as well...who regularly use that word like we use if and and but.
Additionally.....I’m contending with the same sort of neighbors now, who I’ve never had a problem before where they hang out on the street and hearing that word used is part of their everyday conversation.
+1 for the effective use of the phrase ‘giant punk’ in your story.
I wonder if the FBI and State told the local PD’s to keep this quiet?
This is a pattern that seems to appear regularly. Some people are conscientious and responsible and wait until they have their facts then make statements, others rely on unsubstantiated rumors and self interest to be first.
Am surprised the State Patrol didn’t demand it be kept quiet. I smell FBI wanting everything released to put with-holder in a box.
I believe the media knew: but decided not to share this part of the story with us.
Maybe its only now that the ‘jamming’ has stopped.
Thanks for posting the fantastic information on this thread.
I’ve said for years the best source of news is right here on FReeP, especially in the comment thread.
Interesting.
It’s been said that there are only 3 blacks on the PD force in Ferguson and the chief is on of them?
I bet his nephew calls him “Uncle” Tom...ok bad joke.
+1. Maggief rules.
The socks give it all away.

Well one does have to qualify and stop making it a black white issue of who is appointed. That serves nobody but those who want to keep race an issue.
Unfortunately as in many professions, the black community is lacking in the will to step up to the plate, get the education, and do the work.....so of course there's always going to be what is seen as an imbalance. Further they need to police their own and stop the welfare lifestyle....
Nothings going to change until the black community steps up to the plate and does the work they expect others to do for them in getting their people on track. But as long as they get a free hand out from Gov. they will continue to take it and have nothing productive to do with their time but create situations where they can cry foul and play the victim.

Yeah I know...That’s Uncle Tom!
I was just going along with a joke
It certainly changes things. The account the world has heard of the confrontation between Brown and the police officer has so far only been told by the identified co-conspirator in a strongarm robbery that ended in a fatal police shooting. That greatly mitigates any particular additional details he has to offer since the evidence already proves at least part of his testimony as a lie.
Dorian Johnson has already lied about his involvement here, so what are we supposed to believe him about?
Now I see his recalcitrance in detailing his account in an interview with police investigators: Dorian Johnson probably expected to be taken into custody. Maybe even for more serious charges than just being an accomplice in a strongarm robbery of a carton of Swisher Sweets.
Well Well Well, turns out the folk hero to the left is no longer such a hero..just another criminal thug..you live like a thug and you die like one
Maybe Eric Holder can arrest the store clerk for disturbing Mr. Browns college plans and Mr. Obamas vacation.
I'd say deadly force was warranted under these circumstance.
