445 I'm looking at the police report on a robbery of cigars and an assault in a store on W. Florissant Ave, Ferguson, last Sa.. The clerk id'd the suspect who also assaulted him as a black male wearing a white t-shirt, khaki longer shorts, yellow socks and a red cardinal's baseball cap. He also said a second suspect was with the first, but didn't give any particulars. He said they left the store and headed up W. Florissant north toward Quiktrip. The robbery took place between 11:52:58 and 11:54:00, per the video, and a description of the suspect was put out over the radio around 11:57.This shows that when the patrol cop accosted Brown and Johnson on a street not too far from W. Ferguson a mere three minutes later, he wasn't harassing them for "walking while black" --- Brown fit the description of the aggressive thief, down to his socks. That still doesn't say anything about what happened after that, but at least initially, the cop was just doing his job.

Also, other reports said the officer was on a "sick" call, but broke off handling that call just prior to accosting Michael Brown. If he didn't hear the robbery call, why did he break off of the "sick" call?
As an ice climber, I cannot let this slide!
Leon Trotsky was murdered with an ICE AX! NOT AN ICE PICK.
Since it’s his own police chief who said he didn’t yet know, I’m going with his own chief.
