Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer in a St. Louis suburb, fit the description of a strong-arm robbery suspect that police were responding to the night he was shot, the Ferguson police chief said at a Friday press conference.

Police have said Brown was shot after an officer encountered him and another man on the street. They say one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car, then physically assaulted him in the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the officer's weapon. At least one shot was fired inside the car before the struggle spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times, according to police

The photos apparently were taken immediately before he was stopped by the cop looking for someone matching the description of a black guy 6’4” 300 lbs.

Probably is him ... so I’ll wait on ‘if’ for the moment. Reaction is already taking place. I’ll wait.

Depends on the type of weapon the officer had. Revolver or semi-auto?

and they’ll get it too bray. There could be 25 videos of Lil Mike beating, raping and shootin’ - and colleges and universities will be tripping over themselves to invite and pay the Browns to come speak on white racism and social injustice.

These are the same universities that we all send our kids to so they receive a “higher” education. 25 years ago if someone wrote it all out, they would be committed due to insanity.

Obviously, if he was “unarmed”, then he presented no threat to the alleged “robbery” victim.
Surely you jest and/or forgot your "/s" tag.
Even at my peak as a Marine I'd have a tough time with this "teen."

Yeah... the shorts, the laceless sneakers, and the white fringe around the shirt sleeves match. Can’t tell about the shirt pattern because the after-incident photo is a bit washed out.

Easy to see why he was stopped—not many guys like that around. Less clear why he was shot from a distance multiple times.

Same outfit right down to the sandals. Now it’s coming out that the cop might be black as well.

....”the kid had his hands up and was surrendering, the cop was wrong to execute him”......

Not if the kid was attempting to take his gun and beat on the cop.....apparently the ‘officers face has lacerations’ which would substantiate the cops story Brown was doing more than resisting arrest.

Further the robbery itself of several box’s of cigars is suspect... youth today uses cigars as a drug delivery system

“I’ll tell you, they mix the tobacco with pot and call them blunts. Blunts the smell of the pot.
You will recall that St. Trayvon was out getting the ingredients for Drank or whatever they call it.”

Traytable had a friend buy cigars for him at that same time.

Yeah, well look at the pic of the dead perp above. Note where his hands and arms are. At his side. Not up as in a surrender stance. When he fell to his death, his arms and hands were down and along his sides. So much for the he had his hands up to surrender bullcrap.

It happens in small town Amercia as well. I lived in a town that had women's federal priosn. The amish follow their mom's from prison to prison and infect the local kids who want to be "cool" and live the thug life. All day long the hoodrats coming in buying one cigar at a time. Idiots. Told the Barney's they didn't act. Now they have a major meth problem.

We moved away.
