Well he did have to throw in a robbery that had nothing to do with the shooting

Charges should be laid NOW.
Iâm sure theyâll somehow connect two black males involved in the robbery to the reason that Michael Brown and his friends were stopped.
Because, hey, they all look alike to Ferguson cops.
And frankly, I wonder how long it took them to come up with that ârobberyâ story.

I watched Lawrence OâDonnell last night. He interviewed a witness to the shooting. A very articulate young woman who was picking up an employee on that street when the shooting took place. She watched most of it. Her version supports the stories told by the other two witnesses.
Maybe Jackson will be able to successfully cover for Wilson, but Wilson would be wise to mortgage his house and hire the best criminal defense lawyer he can find.

Ryan J Reilly, the HuffPo reporter who was briefly arrested in Ferguson, is Tweeting security camera footage from the convenience store showing Michael Brown apparently âstrong-armingâ the clerk and taking a package of cigars. Also Tweeting a police report on this naming Michael Brown as suspect. Havenât seen anything more on this other than these Tweets. Iâm sure weâll hear more as the day unfolds. If itâs verified as true, the police will certainly have a field day with it.
Police Chief Jackson is a major part of the problem festering in Ferguson, Missouri. Upon announcing the officerâs name involved in shooting Michael Brown in cold blood, had the audacity to connect Michael Brown as being a possible suspect to an armed robbery call.
How convenient for Chief Jackson to do this. From the start, I believe this man was acting impartial towards the loss of this young aspiring young man and he needs to go!
Stating that robbery suspects were in the area at the time of killing an innocent civilian in broad day light and in cold blood had NOTHING to do with a robbery! And Chief Jackson has got to address that matter sooner rather than later. Not to mention, the number of shots that were fired toward Michael Johnson as oppose to the total number of times his body was riddled by Officer Wilsonâs issued weapon!

It doesnât matter, all of the witness accounts have Brown in a surrender position as Wilson unloads his weapon into his chest. Nothing justifies a policeman doing that. That is simply murder.

So much has happened since the incident occurred, so many lies, cries and pointed fingers. We will never know the truth, just like many high profile cases that came before. Frankly, I think this should all be laid directly at the feet of the current GOPTP/Fox news hatred campaigns. The conservative right wing, evangelical right have taken us so far back culturally they should be the ones strung up.
I donât believe that people are born hateful, but are fed that hate in a myriad of ways throughout their lives, we now have what we have legitimized as a campaign of discrimination and hatred in an entire political party, they havenât presented a single intelligent well thought out plan since Palin first winked at the audience, like a bubble gum chewing cheer leader, no wait make that since Cheney and Rove took over the White House. Many politicians in the past have made wrong decisions, and scholars have been able to pick apart the strategies and thinking. This current gang has shown us what money, greed, profiteering, constant harangue ala Rush Limbaugh produces.
Hopefully in death Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin along with all the innocent men put to death by the Governorâs death squads will finally break through this insanity. Hopefully?

And this is not the name of the person âanonymousâ outed last night (someone named Byran P. Williman who doesnât even work for the Ferguson Police). This is why more often than not, âanonymousâ is not a reliable source. I would add that the motive for âanonymousâ to do this was/is profoundly stupid and was very likely to escalate an already bad situation and increase the threats of more violence and retaliation.
Way to go fuckheads.

If they âallegedlyâ robbed a store, then why wasnât the other kid arrested or even questioned in the intervening week??
I call Bullshit!

Does Officer Darren Wilson have a confederate flag flying in his front yard like the Chief of Police for Ferguson?
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Actually it was the Police Chiefâs sonâs house which had the Confederate Battle Flag on the wall. Not that it radically alters things, but good to be accurate. And given how wrong âanonymousâ was in naming the officer who shot Michael Brown, I am questing the veracity of even that (and I was passing that âanonymousâ photo along the other day as well, so not castigating you about it).
How many days before JacksonHole could come up with a the
âstrong-arm robberyâ excuse?
Thatâs a loooooooooong time
I bet Wilson wanted to put him in a choke hold (thatâs the preferred method of execution for large black men with alleged illegal smokes) but he was out numbered (never put a large black man in an illegal choke hold for alleged illegal smokes unless you have an unfair advantage) so he thought it best to shoot him in the back. Case closed.
