“Brown then reportedly “grabbed [an intervening bystander] by the shirt and forcefully pushed him back into a display rack.”

First I heard of that. I thought it was the store owner/clerk who Brown intimidated.

why the idiot police department wasn’t immediately forthcoming with the facts confounds reason

‘Thuggish bully’ doesn’t sound as good as ‘gentle giant’.
And if true that he struggled with the policeman, this sounds like ‘Treyvon II’, but even weaker.
I wonder how many gentle sons of Obama will shoot one another this weekend in Chicago. The body count has risen, along with kills as the summer passes.
Maybe Reverends Dee and Dumb could preach to street gangs.
Oh yeah, that won’t work: Jesse admits he crosses the street if he sees young black men coming down the sidewalk.
Hypocrite.

I’m so tired of this. All these sources fail to mention that before he was ruthlessly gunned down by a rogue cop, this poor kid was an altar boy and sang in his church choir.

AND he was an honors student headed for college on a basketball scholarship and a star on several high school sports teams.

More than that, he spent his spare time tutoring mentally challenged kids and heading up food drives for the less fortunate - when he wasn’t busy as an Eagle Scout.

His execution-style slaying speaks volumes about the oppression of Blacks and the stilted nature of race relations in America.

I wonder if Nancy Grace will treat the Brown story as she did the Travvon Martin story, where she essentially ignored the overwhelming evidence against Martin so as to earn her race-baiting stipes, or ‘street cred’ with Al and Jesse.

Now we see that Brown, like TM, is no Saint.

Overheard on the interwebs:

Have you ever noticed how in election years, some local police blotter item that can be spun as supposedly proving a vast national crisis of white racist violence against innocent blacks seem to become the most important new event of the century for awhile? For example, in 2006 there was the Duke Lacrosse Case, in 2012 12-year old Trayvon Martin was wantonly gunned down by a white man from across the street, and in 2014 there’s Ferguson, MO, a place I have to admit to never having heard of before this month.

I'm guessing this is part of an organized media effort to drive up the black vote in an election year. And the odds are that folks anticipating a GOP landslide might be unpleasantly surprised when the election returns come in.

Next up is Los Angeles. Protest planned for Sunday. Similar incident ... possible similar media coverage.

This is starting to hurt us in our souls. You can’t even trust Brietbart anymore, since they assassinated The Man more than a year ago. Since then the site has been compromised and corrupted. The video that they are showing is from four years ago, because I remember watching it way back then. The man in that video is not Michael Brown, the young man who was gunned down for jaywalking. That’s right. He wasn’t stealing a car or robbing a store, he was just crossing through vehicular traffic. And the mean cracka cop confronted him and gunned him down for it, with lots of witnesses watching. You don’t have to believe me. The truth will come out, eventually, in spite of how the old media and the new media have been corrupted.

They’ve already declared Brown a martyr and facts don’t matter.

Has the mainstream media shown the video of Brown, which looks like he’s on dope or something?

Brown grabbed a box of Swisher Sweet cigars and handed them to Johnson. [REDACTED] witnessed [REDACTED] tell Brown that he had to pay for those cigars first. That is when Brown reached across the counter and grabbed numerous packs of Swisher Sweets and turned to leave the store.

For those who don't know, Swisher Sweets are not actual cigars. They are cigarillos, and they are worth about 30-50 cents each. 99% of buyers actually cut them open length-wise, empty out the tobacco, and fill them with pot. This is called a "blunt". In most of the US, few smoke "joints" anymore (pot rolled into ZigZag papers). Blunts are far more popular, and Swisher Sweets are by far the most popular blunt-wrap of choice (they come in many flavors, like strawberry, peach, cherry, grape, white grape, etc)

The media, like Obama, when they open their trap spew lies to fit their agenda.

Do not fall for it. We must try to use deductive reasoning to wade thru the facts.
