The title of the article is a bit misleading, but this is interesting.

When the Ferguson police department released the name of Darren Wilson, they also chose to release video footage which they claimed was of Michael Brown robbing a convenience store for some cigars.
The problem is, the video shows Michael Brown at the register, paying for the cigars.

They never called to report a theft according to their attorney either.

It just seems odd that there'd be a theft that according to the market wasn't a theft. Something doesn't add up here.

A customer called the police.

Re: Brown paid for cigars - Ferguson Police Busted – Attempt To Defame Shooting Vict

You guys saw him pay? All I saw was him leaning over the counter. You can't see his hands at that point.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. However, to say that the "video shows Michael Brown at the register, paying for the cigars" is a stretch of the truth no matter how hard you work at it.

I don't blame the store owners for not wanting to cooperate in anything that would make them even more of a target when they have already been threatened with death over this and their store has already been attacked and looted... and they have to stay in that neighborhood after this is all over. Just think about it. If you had all of your life savings invested in a store in a neighborhood like that, you would lie out of your ass to appease the crowd rather than put your business and especially your life at risk.

At this point, we have no idea what the truth is, however, one thing is clear - the video doesn't show him actually paying for anything.

Maybe you should heed commenter's advice from your link:
Ok, someone is lying here. Page four of the police report states that the owners are willing to press charges, so obviously either a.) something was stolen or b.) the cops are outright lying on their reports.

You need to follow up you sources better, using your article made me look like a fool on another forum.

Somehow it got duplicated. Sorry, Mr. Perfect.

Isn't there a thread for you to go calling everybody anti-semitic in here somewhere?

In any case, the investigation should be done by feds and not locals.

Why? It's local jurisdiction.

And, the shark has been officially jumped. Hilarious. Yeah, every time I pay for something at a corner store I always take a moment and rough up the clerk a bit before I go. Just makes the day complete. :lamo:lamo:lamo

So that the probability of a conflict of interest is visibly reduced. We obviously have a situation of civil unrest and failing public order so there are good reasons.

Legitimacy is extremely important and leaving this to a local judge and a police force that is a party to the problems would be careless of the responsibility to the people, foster distrust an provoke further unrest.

There's already way too much encroachment of the federal gov't. It's local jurisdiction and the same person that has been re-elected since the 90's should be the one and trusted enough to do so. Obviously locals know the area and with Holder's record of corruption how would that make it more legit.

I do recall you calling yourself antisemitic and then blaming me for it. Is that what you are talking about?

What that has to do with your silly thread here, though, is anybody's guess.

It appears that this "something doesn't add up" only means that somebody is incapable of basic addition, doesn't it?.

I agree. The federal government has too much to do and gets involved in too many things, perhaps. But that does not mean i would trust the local police, politicians nor the judges in a case like this. And I have no immediate skin in this. I am White and all those things. But they are too inbred.
So if I don't trust them then there are tens of millions of minority members that will believe they are being cheated. Legitimacy will be lost and the injustice of the system will seem proven.

Right, you never do that. Except all the time.

You are certainly working very hard to derail your own thread, here, son.

I'm actually mixed on this but lean more to local this particular time as I believe it's too easy for this particular AG to inject an agenda too. Jury selection should probably go to a wider 'audience'.
