Spoke carefully?
He said the officer was NOT aware of the robbery. Flat out. He was asked and that was his answer and that was the headline on CNN, Huff Po (it still is), etc.
That directly contradicts the police report that says the officer heard about the strong arm robbery on the radio prior to or contemporaneously with encountering Brown.
The Chief said today Brown was stopped only because he was walking in the street.
Was his radio inoperative during the two calls about the robbery in progress?
And that was not the truth. Brown was really stopped for WAB (walking while black)...or so say many. That is crap, of course, but they have convinced themselves it is true.
the chief clearly says “I don’t know” when asked if the officer was aware of the robbery calls.
