Nearly a week after a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., police on Friday identified the officer as Darren Wilson.
Wilson is a six-year veteran of the Ferguson police with no disciplinary record, Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson said at a news conference on Friday morning.
Jackson provided few other details about Wilson at the news conference and did not take any questions. He said that Wilson had been responding to a call shortly before noon on Saturday when there was a 911 call regarding a “strong-arm robbery” at a convenience store.
A description of a possible suspect was given over the radio, saying this person was walking toward the QuickTrip convenience store in Ferguson. An incident report handed out by police on Friday labeled Brown as a suspect in the convenience store robbery, which involved the theft of some Swisher Sweets cigars.
Wilson left the call he had been responding to and encountered Brown on Canfield Drive at 12:01 p.m., Jackson said.
Police also released these stills depicting a confrontation between Brown and a convenience store worker:

Thank you.
No disciplinary record. 6 years in force. The man is about to go through hell.
Another monstrous black “teenager” assaulting a small guy. Go look at the pics on the web site.
The officer is BLACK.
It is going to be interesting to see what the race baiters Jesse, et al., will claim about this.
I expect this story will disappear very quickly now.
Well, the drill ... all lies. Slander. Just want to ruin the memory of a nice mama’s boy that was just starting trade school.
I did. The shop owner looks like a rag doll in little Michael’s paw.
Things are a lot clearer now in the light of day.
Perhaps the “gentle giant” is not so gentle.
Was that in the article?????
too delicious ... when it got to be over an hour since his name was announced, and still no pi smeared across over tv screens, i suspected this might be the case.
Is he a black black or a White Hispanic Black? Jesse needs to know.
Pray America wakes up
It doesn’t say he’s black!
Nope. Found it posted on Facebook from a black website. Still cannot find it doing Google search.
Where are you guys getting this info. The article doesn’t say that ... does it?
“The officer is BLACK.”
Are you serious?
... Facebook is not a good source.
But I hope it turns out to be true.

Maybe some black should go to the same place based on their conduct. Some blacks feel that they are above the law and can create hell just for fun. Most Americans are getting real tired of this shi!.
