"The radio description of robber would have noted his physical assault on the convenience store employee... making him sound dangerous....that would have played into the police officers information on the burglar. The fact he was assaulted also would have intensified the officer’s fear for the public."

IF that APB was out the POlice should be able to provide recordings/transcripts.

They will have to close this "Suspect in Strong-Armed Robery" loop with evidence. I suspect they would not make the assertion if they cannot.

They will have to show this officer was aware of the robbery, it happened before the deadly confrontation AND the officer was aware of the description.

Absent that, they will have to show the officer was under imminent threat. INITIAL reports says they can't do that.

The police chief said today that Officer Wilson’s initial contact with Mike Brown was unrelated to the robbery.

“INITIAL reports says they can’t do that.”

That initial report came from a witness that turned out to be a perp in the robbery.

“Absent that, they will have to show the officer was under imminent threat.”

But these days you just have to FEEL threatened whether there is an actual threat or not.

That’s what the libs want-—maybe that’s what they’ll get.

Can not wait till someone FOIAs the police reports for both incidents.
