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

Just rubbing the MSM’s faces in their “unarmed” meme.


The protestor’s chanting mantra of “unarmed” needs to be changed to “strong armed”

Just saw the pictures. The guy is a giant pushing around the store owner. Looks like Brown is a scumbag.

I wonder how black poverty pimps and white liberal elites will spin this story now that the facts are coming out...

Freeman Bosley, a former St. Louis mayor and the lawyer for Brown’s pal, 22-year-old Dorian Johnson, said he had not seen the tape but “confirmed that the slain teen took the cigars.”

“My client did tell us — and told the FBI — that they went into the store,”... Bosley said on MSNBC. ...“He told the FBI that he did take cigarillos. He told that to the DOJ (U.S. Department of Justice) and the St. Louis County Police.”

He stole cigars so he could use them/or sell them as a drug delivery system, which is popular with the youth and in the black community...called Blunts.

THAT IS NOT SHOP LIFTING GET IT? IT’s STRONG ARM ROBBERY. BIG DIFFERENCE.

And y’all stop comparing the video pics to the one of him dead on the ground. It’s HIM. Only an idiot can’t tell that’s the same person.
Sheesh.

This is what I’m getting so far....

....Officer Wilson fired after one of the two suspects shoved him into his police cruiser and went for the officer’s gun...in the struggle, at least one shot was fired inside the car before the ‘fighting’ spilled onto the street where Brown was shot multiple times, according to police.

This might have been when Brown put his hands up that others saw...long after the struggle and the attempt to take the Officer’s gun.

Maybe he needed the cigars for college?

This is so tragic. If Brown had simply got the gun from the officer and shot the officer, this all could have been avoided.

I’m praying to Saint Skittles.

Dont forget. A 300 pound man just slapped the officers brain around in his head. How does a brain work after taking a 1000 pound thrust of impact? Not so good I suspect.
