Police have security video of the robbery. We will see if that matches and any cigars were found in his pockets.

I know, I can’t stand the Liberal dogma of “White Privilege”. Full of crap except for maybe the “White Liberals” running the show.

Shush yo’ mouth, Rascist. You are breaking the News Embargo of the National MSMedia.
http://www.thestate.com/2013/08/17/2925787/marchers-to-sc-statehouse-demand.html

It’s not like it was covered local.
My Blivet of a newspaper “the Times Union” (Albany NY) would never cover a story like this unless Kelly was Black and the killers were Conservatives.

Maybe he’s been busy.
Hey look; I’m as skeptical of cop overreaction as the next guy.
But that doesn’t mean one should prejudge the cop.
They still are the thin blue line that protects society from the savages.
And yes I know of and Support the 2nd amendment.

On the day of the shooting, Wilson responded to a strong-arm robbery at a Ferguson convenience store just before noon....

At 12:01 p.m., Wilson encountered Brown and the teen’s friend walking in the street near the store. A second officer was responded to the scene minutes later.

The dispatch of the robbery went out at 11:52 and he was shot at 12:01???

And this store was where??? How far away???

My BS meter just went off.

The riots/protests are aimed at making sure that the facts and evidence do not come into play. The lie always has to go around the globe at least twice before the truth can get its shoes tied. That’s how the brainlessness of our society will end up killing us all. Certain segments of US society are acting more like Palestinians every day. It struck me in looking at the photos how much certain segments are also even LOOKING like Palestinians every day...

“The talk was more along the lines of an EMP or something like that...”

I just finished _One_Second_After_. Militarization of police won’t help along the lines of an EMP or something like that.

The autopsy was on Sunday and people have been asking how many bullets were fired daily for almost a week

He’s been sitting on this information for days.

And now he is trying to imply that this kid was a robbery suspect???

Where was that 5 days ago???

Thanks for the timeline. I suppose from this, the officer was not at the scene of the robbery but alerted on police radio? I guess we will find out how near the store was.

Mob rule, then as a “rescue” to mob rule, a police state. I’ll never give them my DNA. Too easy to manipulate that an “enemy of the state” was at the scene of a crime.

Look at the photos. He looks just like Michael Brown.

It does look like a tall guy in that surveillance video. I wonder if the clothes match what he was wearing when he was shot.

If the guy who helped him steal cigars was the only other witness, whose claims everybody is believing regarding him having his hands up when he was shot, this doesn’t look good at all for Crump - especially if the first autopsy was problematic to the story Crump wants everyone to believe.

Could be the police didn’t mention this stuff before because they didn’t want to be perceived as smearing a victim. I don’t know. But this new information puts a whole different light on what happened. As with Trayvon, the “victim” may not be the innocent little person just minding his own business, that the media story is trying to make him out to be.

I don’t think they wanted to release the autopsy findings until afetr the second one which was just completed. I read this morning that they have released his body to the mortuary.

And the question is — did he even hear the dispatch and what was in the dispatch??? If he is responding to it then what is he doing so far away from it???

The Police Chief is really sticking his neck out here acting a the officer’s defense attorney while pretending to be conducting a “neutral” and “independent” investigation.

There are a lot of people upset that he pulls this at a news conference when the only thing that was due to be released is the name of the officer.

This is one of those WTF moments.

If the Dept. is making s*** up, they will be exposed. Tainting of good Police will continue though. No matter what, the Officer killed someone and he’ll live with that the rest of his life. I’m sure it’s hard to live with taking another’s life even in an open/shut case of murder suspect that is shot.

“What is supposed to happen when people “protest” in the middle of the streets?”

Problem is there’s a lot of different “protesting” going on. You’ve got protesters who are properly demonstrating for a legitimate purpose, then you’ve got protesters who are being disruptive but their message is appropriate, then you’ve got proper or improper demonstrations with misdirected/non-sequitur messages, and then you’ve got full-on rioters who don’t give a damn about “messages” and are taking advantage of police being wantonly impotent when facing all-out anarchy & violence.

Oh, and then there’s different “police” involved. You’ve got various factions (state, local, sheriff, etc) and subsections (traffic, SWAT, beat, etc), conflicting loyalties (actual law-abiding/enforcing, thugs with badges, “protect the blue”, etc) and so on, all faced with conflicting loyalties.

Somehow, most independent observers are wishing those involved are simply “protesters” and “police”. There aren’t. Both sides have a spectrum from law-abiding to opportunist-criminal, all thrown into the same general area.

“a lot of people are not interested in sorting out the truth, but very interested in making the story NOT be about evidence/facts but about intimidation, media sound-bites, and politics. Disgusting, all the way around.”

Bingo. Everyone has their own chosen narrative, and are trying to force it on everyone else. Best answer is “don’t be there”.

There have been articles claiming that Liberals and Rand Paul are demanding the demilitarization of local police forces. The insinuation is that Republicans stand with the Police.

Yet FOX reported on the militarizing of the police on June 14.

The officer doing the released report seems confident. If they are still looking for a suspect in the robbery that could be telling. The second dude in the robbery, the “first witness”, I’d like to see if he was at the robbery. The story gets curiouser. Just from pics, I don’t think the deceased could run to far or too fast.

Thanks for sharing, I mean that, even though only fifty or so people showed up, it means something. This story has haunted me from the beginning. The black community, the baiters and the politicians want to talk race, let’s do. They want to know why police are trigger happy and why black teens are racial victims........they want whitey to go cower in the corner, and take their medicine. Many whites are terrified of black teens because of their violent behavior, their learned behavior of hatred of whites and their lack of emotions, hell yes someone is going to be trigger happy and the black community has no one to blame but themselves for proliferating the belief they are targeted by whites.
