So, according to Ferguson police being “accused” of stealing Cigars is an immediate Death Penalty Offense with no trial or due process (if you happen to be Black?)
Got it.

Sadly, yes. I clicked through to the attorney’s twitter feed, where the statement appears.

Could have been worse though - “peace mill”, for instance, which come to think of it just begs to be illustrated by a New Yorker cartoonist…

I think the police releasing the info of Brown allegedly “robbing” a store at the same time as releasing the officers name is an effort to have people talking about what Brown supposedly did instead of the officer. Now Brown’s character is on trial, not the cop’s.
It’s actually pretty devious on their part. And it’s working.

It worked when Zimmerman stalked and ultimately murdered Trayvon Martin too.

Hey! give the JacksonHole and his KKK buddies a break.!

Geez! It took days to come up with the ‘strong-armed robbery’ suspect excuse and couple more days to manufacture the store video .

I have NEVER, in my life, well over 60 years, NEVER have heard of a white person being shot down by police like a dog for a petty theft. I’m still wondering if that petty theft had anything at all to do with the shooting. Most people apprehended for petty theft just get to go to court and are ordered to pay restitution to the victim. That could have happened here.
