Ferguson police released a report today detailing a robbery before the fatal shooting last week of 18 year-old Michael Brown. Chief of police Jackson held a press conference early Friday morning.
Here is a copy of the report on the Ferguson convenience story robbery.
Michael Brown was 6′ 4″ and 292 pounds.

“However, if the gun powder splatter indicates being shot at more than a couple of arm lengths, that trumps big, bad, black man.”
Yep, the cops should let the perp get close enough to grab their gun before shooting, otherwise the shooting is unjustified. ( Eye roll )
While many FReepers would disagree, you're absolutely correct.
There are always methods of redress, if there's an issue.
Meanwhile, getting into an argument with a nervous, heavily armed man at the side of the road is never a good idea. Even if you're right.
is there a pic of the cop yet?
“But to try and depict every policeman as a “jackbooted thug” as the cop-haters do is absurd. I think many of these people have a history with the police they’re not telling us.”
First off I don’t “depict every policeman as a jack booted thug”. Just like I don’t depict every black as voting Democrat....And yea, I have a history with the police. Not that it’s any of your business but I’d be happy to share it with you privately. But why bother. You wouldn’t believe it anyway.
You’re seeing what I’m seeing - based on the pictures, it wasn’t a back shot.
Evidently the ‘witness’ who described MB being shot in the back while his hands were up, was the fellow who robbed the store with MB so of course he would be the most reliable, truthful, believable witness you could find .... NOT.
The cold steel of a federal gun barrel at the base of the coroner’s skull will ensure that he gets a second autopsy “correct”.
Not an issue that would arise for me, since AFAIK there’s only one other person in the USA with my first and last names.
Used to get my Delta FF account mixed up with his.
I assume people remember the MSM reporting that the CO theater shooter was a Tea Party types based solely on the same (common) name.
This thread shows conservatives can do much the same.
Why should he have to sell the flatscreen?
Just get more Jim Beam.
Committing a robbery, being a gang member and when caught beating a cop isn’t the thing to do either
I want to see that same guy on MSNBC involved in the same kind of “Confrontation” and see how he likes it..a 292 fat ass pushing a store owner around..gee what a saint..the thug got what he deserved
Yep. His pants are pulled down, like in the surveillance video.
Sadly, a sweet kid who was just getting his life together, and on his way to college. /s
“I’ve made mistakes in the past. How close was I to the second set of pictures? I don’t know.”
Do you recall attacking a cop and attempting to take his gun? No? Well, you likely weren’t that close to the 2nd pic.
Yup, fighting with the cop over his gun was pretty much strike three, there.
All you have to find out is WHY the cop was on his way to the apartment complex that Mike was staying in.
That’s NOT a picture of the officer involved in this incident. The poster posted it with an incorrect assumption that it was. The involved officer is white.
I’m glad to see everyone is now catching up on this.
According to this site, there are 296 people in the US named Darren Wilson.
Seems odd at least three of them are cops, and two in St. Louis.

Great, now we can have Darren Wilson Truthers. ;)
It looks like a small Asian women to me?

Well the YUTE “eyewitness” clearly isn’t intelligent enough to know that a statement that a person was shot in the back could be quickly proven to be false by physical evidence.
This low-IQ Yute actually needs to be lawyering up himself at this point.
