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

Those are very big tennis shoes with red stripes on the top. From the looks of the photos at least size 15’s.

Amazing all the photos coming out now...showing Michael Brown to be another run-of-the-mill thug.

Still enough smoke clouding the real story that it will take a while to unravel. if it turns out to be a bad shoot, the cops may stonewall and obfuscate. If it was a good shoot, the MSM and the Inciter-in-Chief will stonewall and obfuscate to keep the flames alive.

I know of an inner city 3rd grade where the kids are larger than the teacher, and a physical threat.

They will find drugs in his system, child porn on his cell phone. They would find a gun and drugs on him, but they did not have a chance to plant them. Just like they would you or me after they killed us. And what they say may al be true, but as far as I am concerned they have destroyed their credibility by their lyings and cover ups.

“Dorian Johnson, who says he was walking down the street with Brown when he was shot. He has said the officer ordered them out of the street, =

“According to Dorian Johnson, the officer screamed at them to “get the f*** on the sidewalk.”

Makes the officer look worse, like a raging, out of control maniac.

Yes, the media have destroyed their credibility.

But the photos don’t lie - and neither will the video when it’s finally released - unless it’s mysteriously erased, as so many of them are.

If I understand correctly Dorian Johnson took part in the heist on the shop. He's in the video frames.

He's not a disinterested innocent in this: we'd better be careful with anything he says.

too bad HE didn’t have a gun

The kid got the smite button pushed on him earlier, but the plan was premature. So, a second button was pushed, this time to effect.

I think so. He had me on the ground in handcuffs while he checked me out but after about 10 minutes he took the cuffs off and helped me up. He apologized for the inconvenience, gave me his card and sent me on my way.

Chances are confusion is reining supreme. I’ll wait because there is still more to come out.
