Police radio calls obtained by the St. Louis Post Dispatch show the deadly police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., occurred within a brief time span of less than 90 seconds.
The Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown, 18, sparked nationwide protests, calls for revamped police procedures and a grand jury investigation that is reportedly close to a decision on the fate of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson.
The newspaper said the radio dispatch recordings it obtained under Missouri's open records law show Wilson encountered Brown and another man at 12:02 p.m. "Put me on Canfield (Drive) with two. And send me another car," he tells the dispatcher. Before the encounter a dispatcher had put out a call for a "stealing in progress" at the Ferguson market with descriptions of the two suspects. The paper said that the description of one of the suspects in the Ferguson market theft match Brown's.

90 seconds can feel like a long, long time.
Those “nationwide protests” were generated. The only “organic” protest was in Ferguson.
Well, a least one tobacco vendor.
He was just getting his life together, headed for HVAC courses at Vatterott College, an aspiring rapper and choir member at the AME church and the pride of his family.
He lived like a thug, he acted like a thug & he died like a thug....You go after on Officers side arm & you get what you deserve.
I was once in the vicinity of a gun fight. It was about 35 years ago. It feels like it just ended. And it lasted maybe 15-20 seconds. You brain will distort time something crazy when it under stress.
***You brain will distort time something crazy when it under stress.***
This is true. I saw a motorcycle wreck one time next to us. BAM! That fast. In that length of time it was as if time slowed down and I can still see everything in very slow motion. I got to pump his chest till medics arrived.
The cops called for more units because they knew there was going to be a problem.
I wonder why they knew that?
Because there were two of them. They had just ignored his request to move from the street. And then he realized they had just robbed a store.
No, I mean AFTER the shooting. The call from the OTHER officers on the scene. They knew there was going to be trouble.
If they shot a white kid in a white neighborhood do you think they would be worried?
WHAT??? WHo CARES about Organic....they were THIEVING THUGS who Destroyed and STOLE Other People’s PROPERTY!!! NO ONE has the right the “protest” that way......ANIMALS.....they saw a great chance to get Sneakers, TV’s, Liquor and Cigs!
Actually, 90 seconds is a long time. My one armed encounter lasted less than 10.
Organic was in quotes for that very reason.
