The family of the unarmed black teenager killed by a Missouri cop accused their town’s police chief of trying to “assassinate” the victim’s character.

But Jackson also revealed that Wilson was responding to 911 reports of a “strong-arm” robbery at a convenience store Saturday when he fatally shot 18-year-old Brown. The timing of Jackson’s revelation outraged Brown’s parents and the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has been advising them, branded it a “smear campaign.”

“It’s bad enough they assassinated him, and now they’re trying to assassinate his character,” Brown family attorney Benjamin Crump said.

Waiting for Crump to hire a PR firm. Julison Communications did a good job for him in Florida. They developed the “white-hispanic” phrase to further the white-kills-black narrative. They distributed the back-dated pictures (5 years out of date) to the press.

“Hey Ryan? This is Ben Crump. I’ve got some work for you”

Whenever the police shoot someone who is unarmed, we should be concerned. Do we really want to live in such a police state? If it turns out that the officer was in danger, then that’s one thing.

The thug was 6' 4", 292 pounds, how big does a felon have to be before you consider that the officer was in danger?

So you really believe that we are in a police state?

If so, how do you explain the fact that over 90,000,000 Americans legally own over 300,000,000 million guns and that number goes up every minute...

Well, he DID rob the store. Same body, same shoes, same shirt as the surveillance video. Robbery happened 1/2 hour before he was stopped by the cop and grabbed for the cop’s gun, scuffled with cop, was shot. It is ever the same.

“I’m still on ‘if’. I’m under the river waiting like a gator.”

Your comment made me think of what Andrew Breitbart had said once — something to the effect that he knows how the media works and puts out one article while knowing what the reaction by MSM will be ... and then wham — article No. 2 — debunking them. They fall for it and then .. article No. 3. Like a gator under the river... waiting. He was a genius at exposing wasn’t he.

Why didn’t they release this information right away? Stupid

Even if he was exactly the thug the most misanthropic amongst us could believe, the police there have handled this very badly. Not to EVEr excuse rioters, but this has been a textbook case of what not to do.

Apparently the police were sure enough to file a robbery report naming Brown as the perp.

From the article:

Freeman Bosley, a former St. Louis mayor and the lawyer for Brown’s pal, 22-year-old Dorian Johnson, said he has not seen the tape but confirmed that the slain teen took the cigars.

“My client did tell us — and told the FBI — that they went into the store,” Bosley said on MSNBC. “He told the FBI that he did take cigarillos. He told that to the DOJ and the St. Louis County Police.”

Remember who the family’s law is. It is the race industry shakedown firm.

This destroys their payday.
