There was a public event yesterday re the highway shutdown tomorrow, but I don't know if questions were taken. It's scheduled for tomorrow at 3:00 p.m., and activist/attorney Ed Vickers provided details of where to meet-up. Vickers is on staff of the local Ferguson Rep Jamillah Nasheed, who stands behind her man despite his recent arrest:

Meh. That is such a non-issue but here.

Can you provide a link that SIS's can't/aren't utlized? Sounds more like denial and tunnel vision than it does going into an issue with an open mind.

Yes, I absolutely heard that on CNN early this morning. I stopped in my tracks and listened but it was just a one line blurb. No other info followed. The statement [paraphrased] was " Michael Browns parents will be holding a press conference soon to ask again why the officer has not been arrested for their son's murder."
I immediately googled to see where and when, but nothing came up. ?

Maybe this is where the parents will be speaking again?

Nasheed's comment about Vickers: " I expect this matter to play itself out in a court of law and not through the media." Seems to me she likes to pick and choose what should play itself out in a court of law and what should play itself out in the media.

So the protests are working....smh
Pretty sure we're saying the same thing to some extent. It is more relevant because of what happened afterwards.
As for the incident at the store alone, first, he's not guilty of anything. For everyone that is so adamant about the "innocent until proven guilty" principles for OW I find it amusing that the same principles are discarded when it comes to MB. Yes, we've seen the video and yes, I wouldn't be surprised that some sort of charges would have/could have been brought, but that doesn't change the fact that we're throwing around legal terms as if he were convicted of anything. He hasn't.
Having said that, I understand the righteous indignation over the "robbery" and yes, it's important to the store owner, but that doesn't change the fact that this "robbery" falls somewhere in the middle of a continuum if one was rating the severity of crimes.
Thank you, Popsicle. You're an invaluable resource.
So, the "activists" are "staging" a PC? That's odd wording. I wonder if that word selection means they'll discuss which "demands" haven't been met yet, or new ones? I had only heard the term "demands" in relation to hostage takers and terrorists before Michael's death.
Good grief! Read this only if you think a Missouri law firm "ad" providing a long list of examples (below) of getting their guilty clients off almost scott free is free enterprise at its finest:

The many examples do support the idea that MB may have walked on the store robbery imo.

Whoa. Good find. Right next to Shahid, among agitators. Thanks for the information.
snippets.
Sometime in March, a buddy stopped by with a stranger.
Wow, Johnson said, thats a big dude.
The dude, Michael Brown, was 6-foot-4, and he had brushed past Johnson with barely a hello as he headed to the video-game console and began to play.
I asked, Why he dont speak?  Johnson recalled in a 90-minute interview with The Washington Post last week his first interview since federal authorities questioned him shortly after the shooting, his attorneys said.
On the morning of the fatal encounter, it was Brown who reached out to Johnson, looking for someone to talk to about starting school and other anxieties, according to two people who have spoken with Johnson.
He just wanted someone to talk to, said Damonte Johnson, one of Dorian Johnsons younger brothers. So my brother said, Im headed to the store. Come and walk and talk with me. 
The time he and Johnson spent together included activities common for some their age: They played video games late into the night, occasionally smoked weed, made music and talked about better lives.
His parents, Michael Brown Sr. and Lesley McSpadden, were teenagers when he was born. They never married, and Brown, who has two sisters and a brother, bounced between the homes his parents shared with their respective spouses. When his mother moved out of the school district, according to friends, Brown began living with his grandmother in the Canfield Green apartment complex.

Didn't seem to get any tv coverage so far. I went right to MSNBC and they are all about the NFL story now. Looks like MB has fallen out of prime time coverage for now.
Tunnel vision? It's right in the statute for Armed Criminal Action.
Armed criminal action, defined, penalty.
571.015. 1. Except as provided in subsection 4 of this section, any person who commits any felony under the laws of this state by, with, or through the use, assistance, or aid of a dangerous instrument or deadly weapon is also guilty of the crime of armed criminal action and, upon conviction, shall be punished by imprisonment by the department of corrections and human resources for a term of not less than three years.
