Do we have a source for that? They should release a picture.

Well, this changes my own perception of the shooting a bit. It raises the probability that the Teen really did make a move on the cop. That Teen is a big boy and has obviously some violent propensity. A serious problem now is that one cannot accept the word of any police chief as being true just because he says them. Whatever the situation too many will say what they thinks protects themselves and their department and the truth is irrelevant.

And remember, always capitalize Teen as you would Negro or Czech or Frenchman.

Yes, same store. Meaning the protesters knew Brown and Johnson had robbed the place and burned it for the sole purpose of destroying evidence.

Brown's attack on the store owner pretty much seals the story that he also attacked the cop, imo.

Ooooh, he was such a gooood boy! Liars all.

I have watched a fellow beat up a clerk to steal a six pack and nothing more and the cash drawer was open. There was also a cop pulling up outside to come in for coffee. The officer didn’t feel threatened. He grabbed the guy with the beer (who was not a Teen)and took the six pack away from him as he put the fellow in the back of the car.

Hey, tobacco products will shorten your life. Wasn't he paying attention in school? They may or may not have been teaching the 3 Rs, but they certainly taught that.

BTW, to provide a scale for the first impression his size, which was listed as 6'4" 292 lbs, would have created Lou Ferrigno played the Hulk at 6'5" 285 lbs. Brown probably wasn't as buff as 'green,' but he was no pile of lard.

I think they call them “blunts”. They hollow out the cigar and put marijuana inside to smoke it. I don’t know why this is considered a good way to smoke it. Maybe it’s quicker and easier than rolling a joint?

Is there a copy of the full vid or just snaps?

There's a video. I saw it on TV a few minutes ago. It's low frame rate. When you see it in motion, the store clerk/owner comes up to him as he's leaving, and gets shoved out of the way. As Brown goes out the door, the clerk comes thru the door behind him, as if to say something. Brown turns around, quite threateningly, takes a few steps into the store, as the clerk backs away. It's the last part that made the biggest impression on me.

I wouldn't be surprised if "Big Mike" was throwing his weight around the neighborhood, and expected to be able to walk into the store in the future and get a handful of stuff whenever he wanted to.

As pointed out by Selco why many will die.

Link?

Well if a 6’4” 290# hood grabbed me beat me about the face and head and then tried to grab my gun I’d give it to him bullets first! And I wouldn’t be worried about where they went in, but I am funny like that!

[Bigg Red]

Bingo!

I wonder that, too.

Remember, St. Skittles was at the 7/11 to buy some blunts, too. Swisher Sweets is a popular brand of cigar for taking out the insides and refilling it with marijuana. Maybe due to their fruity flavors or cheap price. Obama has many more sons than first thought.

Remember, St. Skittles was at his 7/11 trying to score some since he was too young to purchase them. Little pot heads.

OK......here’s the vid.

Yeah, that owner better pack up and take his family far from Ferguson. Get what he can out of the insurance and let the property go back for taxes because he’ll never be able to sell it. And thank his lucky stars he got out alive.

They will be releasing the photos of the police officers injuries I understand...which of course will only add evidence there was a fight of some sort.

[Leaning Right]

Maybe didn’t have the store video to prove some of the situation?

That's a really good point.

....”That Brown resisted arrest and assaulted officers is at this point only an allegation. Quite possibly true, but not really proven yet”......

Well that we have seen yet but I tend to think that Michele was the cause of his own demise. He'd already been in a row with the clerk...and it wasn't that much time later before the incident where he was shot. His Adrenalin didn't have time to normalize much.
