Mindset of Michael Brown “[meant] everything” in confrontation with Officer Wilson

Last week, former St. Louis Police Chief Ed Delmore addressed an Open Letter to Captain Ron Johnson, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon’s choice to “direct all law enforcement operations” in Ferguson after the shooting death of Michael Brown. Chief Delmore revealed that he is not a fan of what another officer described as Capt. Johnson’s “hug a looter” attempts to bring criminals under control by directing St. Louis County Police to “remain uninvolved” on the night “the rioting and looting began again.”

The essence of Delmore’s criticism, however, is directed at Capt. Johnson’s claim that “there was no reason to release” the video of Brown manhandling the comparatively pint-sized owner of the convenience store from which he and a friend had stolen cigars. According to Johnson, “the reported theft and the killing [were] entirely different events.”

But it’s in his response to this “entirely different events” claim that Delmore may have revealed the reason Officer Darren Wilson had to pull the trigger on Brown a short time later.

“The fact that Brown knew he had just committed a robbery before he was stopped by Officer Wilson speaks to Brown’s mindset,” wrote Delmore. “And Captain, the mindset of a person being stopped by a police officer means everything, and you know it.

If Captain Johnson wanted to “get schooled” he came to the right window. For Chief Delmore made it clear that the release of a video is unimportant when compared with the mindset of a criminal who has foolishly confronted a cop just moments after the crime. Johnson was concerned with optics, Delmore with what a frightened and potentially desperate thug might attempt...

Marijuana increases the chance of schizophrenia by about 300% for habitual users.

Look up marijuana paranoia. In some people, mundane things become very alarming.

Exactly....mindset,as influenced by the drugs in his system at the time.Even if the cop hadn't heard a report of the robbery the *punk* knew he had just committed a robbery and had every reason to fear that the cop knew of it.Add to that the possibility of the early stages of schizophrenia (weird e-mails recently sent by the punk to his father according to the NY Times) and you have 300 pounds of lifeless flesh.

Obama couldn’t have done a worse job.

Obama will always find a way to do an even worse job.

Yep, Drudge is touting his latest move. Probably the most despicable man in my lifetime.

If you know of a story on that, please post a link? It would be invaluable.

Don’t know the details beyond what my friend told me. He worked in the LAPD and Sheriff’s Department from 1963 to 2003, 40 years!
