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

Insanity! So all of the fuss and destruction was about this “kid” not being allowed to get away with a robbery? And when the cop dared to tell them to get off the street, this was a “dis” right?

What a culture!

I was just listening to local radio program doing show from the QT if Ferguson. Interviewed an older black man.

Basically said. I was talking to the young ones and they are saying this is going to make matters worse.

Tonight will not be good in Ferguson.,

Don’t forget! The police have strong-armed the store owner into
identifying the Brown child as the robber just to get the police off scott-free! The Game goes on.....

>>>>>>The worker of the store should be able to identify the thug..he was right in his face..or is it that the other thugs threatened the worker..<<<<<<

This worker is a dead man when he identifies Brown and testifies...Or him and his family are going to have to move far away

....”how quickly we buy into the ‘he’s black so he must be a thug’ story...”......

Until the black community begins to step up and stop black crime “among them”...and do something to stop the crimes they commit because they think they are entitled to do so, which is why there are more arrests etc....then how can any take their issues seriously?

St. Louis in a train system so that the black area could access the malls and other shopping areas........thereafter crime rates, robberies, shop-lifting etc. escalated out of proportion to the increase of traffic...... So how do you explain that?

Offhand looks like a much shorter Pakistani guy (store employee or owner) being jacked around by the collar and manhandled by the much larger Saint Trayvon Michael Brown. In a familiar way ...meaning Brown had been in there before shoplifting and effing with the store employees

I dunno about dead. But someone will certainly imply he was a racist who caused the altercation.

I am still waiting for someone to use the well worn “maintains his innocence” phrase.

“Cigars?...Did someone say cigars?”

Black yoofs like to buy (or shoplift) cigars. Take out most of the tobacco and stuff marijuana inside. Its called a blunt

I agree.If Fox only had a rumor, even a good reliable rumor they were correct to know report what they ‘heard”

and honestly even if Fox had reported it they black community wouldn’t have cared. They were going to destroy loot and harass cops no matter what
