MO - Grief and protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown

[popsicle]

The store clerk is much smaller that Brown...in the robbery photos..being shown on Fox now. Very clear photos btw.

No, the robbery happened at ANOTHER convenience store and police received reports the suspects were walking towards the QT.

They said the video of the robbery is being released to the public.

CNN showing pictures, and saying Brown is the one in the pictures per the Sunshine documents they received.

I'm not watching TV - does it appear for sure that it's Michael Brown in whatever the incident is?

I admit to being the last one to get something, at times. Why is the name of the officer important? I see it as a potential threat to him, or his family members, who had nothing to do with the events of that day.

I have purposely stayed away from reading all the details of this case, because it seems to eventually devolve into a white/black kind of thing. (And many wonder why we can't move beyond race issues...maybe this is why.) Could it be a case of too much testosterone, with a liberal mix of fear?

We're never going to know what happened, because one person is dead and cannot tell us, and the other person has already been tried, judged and convicted by the public.

At the very least, it sure made a lot of blood boil, and widened the racial chasm.

Yes, if only black people would stop talking about race and about brutality commited by police against unarmed black men, racism would magically go away!

Incident report IDs him as MB.

 

[ScarlettScarpetta]

And yes Michael brown matches the description but I want a real positive ID.

Today it seems they just posted this to smear the victim.

For Me? I don't care if he stole cigars and candy. I don't even care if he punched the clerk, that does not give the right for a cop to shoot an unarmed person in the street. Once Michael was away from the car he was not a risk. There was no reason to shoot him dead in the street.

So for me, Even if he was the perp, Even if he robbed and punched the clerk, The cop still was in the wrong.

I would like to know where the friend is in the video. Do they show Dorian in there with him???

I want to see the video. ALL OF IT.

Edited because I see the new pics.

Reporter saying he was asked to pay for the cigars and the altercation ensued. A BOLO was sent out. The clothing matches per the reporter.

All that shows is a person in the store. No crime. No assault. And yes Michael brown matches the description but I want a real positive ID.

It is a strong armed robbery and it explains why the Officer stopped them in the first place.

He is a pretty big guy, or the store clerk is aweful little.

The stills posted up the board clearly show an assault. I don't know if that's MB, but the photos are clear enough that a positive ID can be made by those with more photos of MB to compare.

"Strong arm" or not, there is no justification for using deadly force against an unarmed suspect.

Do you not agree this is a completely different story than it was yesterday? This is a huge young man, having moments ago assaulted a store clerk in a burglary of cigars, and then was accused by the officer of attacking him. At first it didn't seem all that clear that MB had in fact attacked the officer - right now, from where I sit, it's about 100% most likely. This was not, as first reported by mother and others wanting to portray a lie, a sweet gentle young college freshman on the way to grandmother's house.

The reason the race chasm is bigger is because the last few days, If it was in black and white would look like Mississippi in the 1960's.

They have treated the residents of this town like criminals from the beginning. It is unbelievable to me that they have gotten away with this so long. The police were arresting reporters for no reason and taking down cameras. Im sorry. All they have done is shown that this police dept needs real training and better officers and a better leadership.

This is shameful. They are showing the worst of america.

He stopped them because he thought it may be them.. He would not be able to know that in a few minutes.

 

[bwt42]

Stopped the victim for walking in the street or stopped a strong arm robbery suspect?

The race chasm is bigger, largely due to the fact that for some reason the media and LE didn't report the truth of the matter. The truth of the matter is, this is a very large aggressive who had just assaulted a store clerk and was likely to be on the way to the QT to do it again, and then he assaulted a cop and tried to steal his gun. And now, because of that chain of events, he's dead. You can't expect to grab a cops gun and live to tell about it.

That last thing you said.
