If the cop was going to shoot him for stealing a cigar there probably wouldn't have been any confrontation. A simple shot to the back of the head while driving by would have sufficed.
I'm trying to keep my replies reasonable but the level of ridiculous in this discussion is making that difficult. My Sarcast-o-Meter redlined an hour ago.
OK....one more time....
From all appearances it seems that Brown and his buddy stole some stuff from a convenience store. They were then confronted by a cop, some kind of altercation occurred and Brown ended up dead. That much shouldn't be in dispute but by now, who the hell knows.
The question at hand is how the altercation started. Maybe the cop mouthed off at Brown. Maybe Brown mouthed off at the cop. Maybe the cop pushed Brown with the door of his car. Maybe Brown pushed the car door back into the cop. Maybe Brown punched the cop in the face. Maybe the cop bashed his face getting out of the car. Maybe the cop flipped out and shot Brown for ****s and grins. Maybe Brown rushed the cop and got shot in self defense.
That's a whole lot of maybe's and we don't have much to go on other than "witness" accounts by interested parties from both sides. The sane thing to do under such circumstances would be to chill out and wait until we get some more facts but, apparently, that isn't going to happen because a whole lot of folks have decided to fill in the blanks for themselves and turn a deaf ear to any and all other opinions.
