Michael Brown was a robbery suspect before he was shot to death, police say

Agreed. Police forces aren't infallible, and this one certainly hasn't done a great job. Maybe they're ill equipped for this?

Reminds me of the Greenwich CT police force (Martha Moxley case) and the Boulder CO police force (JonBenet Ramsey case). Both cases screwed up royally because of incompetent policework.

Well, they certainly aren't under armed.

How do you know that the kid was trying to take the officer's firearm unless you were there? WERE YOU THERE?

:doh

That was what was reported from the get.

Which, if true, apparently justifies the killing of an unarmed kid. I didn't know that cigars were that valuable, but apparently they are far more valuable to the Far Right than the life of a kid.

Fixed it.
 
Yeah his cohort in crime looked every bit the upstanding young man we expected.. LOL

And may I be the first one to mention that his parents, although dressed up, hair done, weren't fooling me. They are the prototypical parents one would find at a Chuckie Cheese on any given weekend! Pure hood trash and mostly responsible for their sons demise in life.

Suck it if you can't handle the truth! I've seen enough hood trash in my life to know the difference, and that counts for white trash as well.

Wait, are you now saying you aren't really black after all? How can this be?

I'm glad this incident is bringing you so much pleasure, however. Maybe two black kids will be shot tomorrow and you can have twice as much fun.

Are you saying that since I'm black, I can only see things from a certain perspective? And, if I don't, it must mean that I'm not black? I'm not allowed to consider white guys as my brothers?

You illustrate what's wrong with Liberals.

the video show he was a dangerous person who assaulted a harmless old man trying to protect his property? and people like you want us to give him the benefit of the doubt and defend him? why? because he's black? You need to look at the evidence MORE and try and make political points LESS.

And people like you need to, for once in your life, express some compassion for the fact that a black teenager was gunned down in the street for at the very worst stealing a cigar. I don't get you folks sometimes.

Again, has nothing to do with what was stolen in the STRONG ARM ROBBERY committed by these two.

I don't know whether or not you're black. You have claimed on numerous occasions to be black. I just get suspicious when you post in previous threads about how you feel the KKK has gotten a bad name over the years and that they really weren't all that evil.

I'll begin doing this when the NAACP and Al Sharpton, along with Obama, and Eric Holder show up on the South Side of Chitown after a weekend of brotherly love!

No, but assaulting a police officer and trying to take his gun can get you killed.

Since Brown is confirmed to be a thief, it looks like karma caught with his ass. :shrug:

Karma can work both ways. I wonder if this cop has a kid?

Does that carry the death penalty in your neck of the woods? Remind me never to visit.

I guess we could do another lap around the may-pole on this. If those people weren't anywhere near the police, they wouldn't have been shot by them, so it's 100% their fault.

Ok. I get your point.

He has no point here. He started with absolutes of his own and is now quibbling over them when his own argument got called out.

Wiggen, unless you were there - and unless you witnessed it - you have no more idea why that shooting happened than anyone else does. You're making accusations and you have no evidence. Why don't you just wait until the information comes out, and stop the drama of "he was shot for stealing a cigar" which is nothing but rhetoric.

Stop with the false narrative. He wasn't shot for a cigar let alone the box of cigars he stole.
It has been reported from the get that he tried to take the Officer's gun. That is a life threatening attack.

So in other words, you don't give a damn how many unarmed black teenagers are gunned down in the streets for no apparent reason. Such a 'very conservative' position for you to take.

I'm not interested in hearsay or speculation. I'm interested in facts. The only facts everyone agrees on right now is that Brown was unarmed, that he was shot several times and that he died.

And there are the other known facts. That the police officer had a spotless record and these two were wanted strong arm robbers.
 
Police Chief Jackson has stated that Officer Wilson did not know that Brown was a robbery suspect. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

The officer who shot Ferguson teen Michael Brown stopped Brown and another teen because they were walking in the street, not because of a robbery a few minutes earlier, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said Friday afternoon.

Jackson said Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson were suspects in the robbery, but the officer wasn't aware of that. The officer, Darren Wilson, knew there had been a robbery but did not know that Brown and Johnson might be suspects.

"The initial contact between the officer and Mr. Brown was not related to the robbery," Jackson said in a news conference shortly after 2 p.m. "(The robbery) had nothing to do with the stop… They (Brown and Johnson) were walking down the street blocking traffic, that was it." Ferguson officer stopped Michael Brown for walking in street, but then saw Brown had cigars that might have been stolen, chief says : News

That's the official 'cop' story, contradicted by the non-cops who were there. Frankly, I wouldn't believe cops when they are defending their own under any circumstances.

Well, if the cop had a spotless record then let's just give him a medal and be done with it!:lamo
