Michael Brown’s kin: Ferguson cops ‘assassinated him. they're trying to assassinate his character’
NY Daily News ^ | 08/15/14

Posted on 08/15/2014 10:42:03 AM PDT by BunnySlippers

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.

I believe the security camera pics posted at thread # 3193261.

This punk robbed the store...plain & simple. He was large enough to be VERY menacing & he didn’t NEED to be armed.

Predictable. This is almost certainly the reason the police didn’t reveal this information from the very outset of all this.

This is Trayvon all over again. The race-baiters are one-trick ponies. Lie, make sure people are suitably outraged and protest/riot because they believe the lie, and then when the lie has circled the globe twice and the truth finally gets its shoes tied accuse the truth of “character assassination”.

Predictable as the sun rising in the east.

Brown was a menacing enough dude just with his size!!! He probably has been in trouble all his years, but didn’t need to be armed!!!

Members of the media were targeted, an unwise police action.

Unwise, but understandable considering that the media plays for the same team as the thugs.

Different positions, same team.

The story about being shot in the back is false, as shown by the photos of his back with no blood. What other sheer fantasy have we been told about what happened?

At this point we have NO IDEA what is true, except that the story we’ve been told about being shot in the back is not true.

Seems like maybe the owner of the store that got burned down could have a good lawsuit against all the media outlets who sat on this...

Michael Brown assassinated his own character. He didn’t need any help from my one else in Ferguson o do that.

Ya know, I’m wondering about that TFR that was issued, due to end Friday - the day the cops came out with the real story.

Fox said they sat on the news of Brown’s strong-arm robbery for 3 days; so they knew about this already maybe Tuesday (was that when the TFR was issued?)...

It almost seems staged.

Somebody suggested that the cops had played the race-baiters like a fiddle. Maybe. But it was the Missouri law enforcement union/group that named themselves the “Truth Squads” for Obama right before the 2008 election. They were going to make sure nobody said that Obama would raise taxes or that he’s a Muslim.

What has been going on unreported while this false hullabaloo took up the whole week’s reporting?

I was thinking about all the other race riots in our past and what exactly
was done by the MSM of the time to push it by inaction or provocation.

It's very clear that the MSM's are stuck in the past and are pushing for those
insane riots of the 19th century. Water hoses and the likes. They want the narrative
by creating the narrative.

They cannot be held accountable, and will not. If a POTUS came out and bashed
them they may change their reporting. But even then I highly doubt the MSM would change.

Obama has yet to attempt any Race madness resolution, even when it's his supporters who cause it.
They want their blood in the streets, and by god, they'll get it come lies, Hell, or High waters.

Here's the relevant excerpt:

On March 27, it emerged that Trayvon Martin had been suspended from high school three times for possessing drugs and a marijuana pipe, for truancy, and for graffiti. During the most recent incident, he was caught with a bag full of women's jewelry and a "burglary tool." Martin's crude, misogynistic, and occasionally violent Twitter messages were also released. The topics under discussion included buying and smoking weed and Martin's apparent assault on a bus driver.

Martin's mother responded by saying, "They killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation." This powerful one-sentence press release helped defuse the threat to Martin's carefully falsified image while also expanding the blame for his death beyond Zimmerman. Political amateurs rarely come up with such professionally crafted statements by themselves.

What gets me is that apparently, the cop did not know it was Brown, the perp? Otherwise he would have drawn on Brown while in the street. I have no problems shooting fleeing felons of this type of crime, but still some missing facts here.

I don't know if that's been nailed down as a fact or not. Too much "news" and not enough facts coming out up to this point. I haven't had time to keep up with it all.

What do you think? Dorian Johnson on the left in the white shirt and Michael Brown in the back on the right with a cast on his right hand?

It's hard to say...

This is a better picture of the guy in the blue shirt with his hand in a cast in the back of the picture posted above.

Much too thin to be Michael Brown.
