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

Even if its true that Brown struggled with the officer for the gun, then ran. 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. The fact that Benjamin Crump has asked for a second autopsy means the first autopsy disproved that Saint Michael was on his knees with his hands in the air when the cop plugged him.
This whole thing is blowing up in the cop-haters' faces.

Thanks. I have worked in stores in the hood or where hoodrats come. They steal because they can buy pot and booze with their food stamps.

Obviously, if he was unarmed, then he presented no threat to the alleged robbery victim.
People are killed by the hands/fists of others too often. Unarmed does not mean no threat.

...cigars are used as a 'drug delivery device'....
Blunts are hollowed-out ...cigars used to smoke marijuana and other substances... drugs added to blunts......cigaar smoke masks the smell......Sales of cigars are booming, due to this trend of "blunt smoking,"

Nothing wrong with giving someone the benefit of the doubt until the facts are in.

Trayvon’s mom pocketed $1.5 mil. You know Brown’s parents are looking for some Whitey guilt money.

What are you jumping down my throat for? The investigation is ongoing please cool your jets, FRiend. Because you said:
Maybe the cop was just pissed and shot him anyway.
Sounds pretty biased to me, especially since by your own words "then investigation is ongoing."
Must be quite a disappointment to you to see the cop exonerated.

Swishers are often used by the ghetto as a tool for blunts... (Cigar hollowed out and filled with marijuana)
Can’t wait to see Michael Brown’s autopsy and blood levels....

#66 was pretty good. I’ll check #79 next.

The irony is he reminds me of “Radio Raheem” from “Do The RIght Thing.”
