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.

I admit I was wrong. I gave the kid the benefit of the doubt. Obviously don’t know if he should have been shot but it’s pretty obvious by the pictures that it was him. I screwed up.

“Do you know why they would shoplift cigars? I’ll tell you, they mix the tobacco with pot and call them blunts. Blunts the smell of the pot.
You will recall that St. Trayvon was out getting the ingredients for Drank or whatever they call it. “

After buying Watermelon drink and Skittles, video suggests Trayvon purchased blunts through a third party.

Or maybe Saint Michael was trying to take his gun and got shot for his trouble.

You have no idea either way, but we do now have a pretty good idea that the "eyewitnesses" were lying about Saint Michael on his knees with his hands in the air when the cop shot him.

But you just keep siding with proven liars. It will serve you well.

The guy is a giant pushing around the store owner. Looks like Brown is a scumbag.

Is it Brown? Was he wearing the same clothes, shorts, and it looks like sandals? It would explain why the cop was hostile and aggressive... but it better not be a case of mistaken identity.

My bad - from another view its obvious that they’re not gladiator sandals.

Wouldn’t be seen dead wearing gladiator sandals. Looks like this guy wasn’t either.

“If he stopped, held his hands up, the next step was order him to his knees (one witness said he was on his knees), hands behind back, cuff him, and read him his rights.”

That “witness” was part of the robbery. Kind of convenient?

Perhaps that's why the Ferguson police department remained silent so long... because they wanted to make sure the information they gave out was accurate?

Just a thought.

I think the WH and Injustice dept.are as much behind this as the media. These stories almost always end the same....trumped up by media and race baiters and even when the truth comes out, lies have been told so long that the ignorant masses would never believe the truth. In their small minds, The Man is covering for The Man.
