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

The sad thing is that FOX admitted that they have been aware of the possible connection to this robbery all along. Rather than reporting it they decided to roll in the unrest like a dog rolling in a rotting carcass.
“strong arm robbery” - that would be “unarmed”, wouldn’t it?
Obviously, if he was “unarmed”, then he presented no threat to the alleged “robbery” victim.
Sometimes the real story comes out. And sometimes the story changes when the truth is gonna lead to a bad outcome.
But whats disappointing is so many on this site haven't learned to withhold judgement until enough facts are in. We should know better.
Some outlets are saying that “it is *now* revealed” that there was a robbery.
I heard that from day 1,... but that it was candy, not a cigar which is what is reported now.
Arrest the guy who lied. His lies hurt lots of people.
Oh to be in that store and see this happen, but alas I don’t frequent the zoo part of town.
“I knew the real story was more complex than the version of the story peddled by the media.”
That’s why Rush calls them “the drive-by media.”
yep—I heard that too...not that Fox sat on it, one day 1 I heard he was stopped for matching a shoplifting suspect....but what I heard was candy.
looks like now it was a strongarm robbery and cigars
What picture? Who is be pushing around?
Skittles II
....”The guy is a giant pushing around the store owner”.....
Careful now, the family called him a “gentle” giant....
When you are manufacturing reality time, facts and analysis are your enemy.
Looks like the cop did the world a favor by ridding it of this thuggish piece of trash.
Now, will our racist president and media apologize to the police department of Ferguson? Never.
By the way, while Ma McCaskell is whining about the cops having too much military hardware, which is true, we should also ask why the Dept. of Agriculture, the EPA, the Dept. of Education, the Energy Dept. etc. have hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition purchased on the taxpayer dime. What business does the federal government have in militarizing these civilian departments, hummm?
Well, well. Nice to know some of the story.
Isn’t it though? Waiting for the apologists right here on FR to come on and talk more chit about an “innocent unarmed teenager”. Wonder what that store owner would say about Brown being “unarmed”.
And, like Trayvon’s, Michael’s parents will say the police are ruining their son’s reputation.
