Store owner is receive the wrath, not the thief.

Would he still be alive, and all of this would have been avoided , and yes the cop prolly has some blame after the fact.

Meh, no way to really tell at this point. The chief of police has been an incompetent moron and spoon fed info to continue inciting the people.

There are two things that need to be known to answer your question

1) Did the officer confront them because of the robbery or because they were in the street? This info keeps going back and forth

2) If he approached them only because of being in the street... Did Brown react in a confrontational manner because he thought the cop was there to arrest him?


We will never know the answer to the second.

Go to this thread and scroll to the video linked. Tell me what you think.

Already saw that and commented on it in the big thread...

It is most definitely interesting. I wonder if those people have made statements to the police? There are two different people that say things that lend credence to the officer's friend's story of how things went down.

I also mentioned, the friends account is pretty much bunk at this point since he was part of the robbery and failed to mention any of that. You def can't take his word now.

The other girl who has been the witness strung before the cameras keeps referring to Mike as if they were close friends. So she's got skin in the game.

I wanted to get your take.

Yeah, what people say to each other and what they are going to tell police is completely different.

Thats why I'd like to know if those that you can hear saying stuff like "He kept coming at him" (after he was shot) gave statements.

Someone posted a blurb in the big thread yesterday stating that the DA investigating had talked to witnesses backing the officers story, but has urged them to remain quiet and not come out public.

If he had paid for the cigars he would have still be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Unknown.

He could've died at that exact moment anyway.

The cop could have shot him for fun.

A meteor could have hit him.

He could've been crushed by a coke machine.

thanks, ill check it out.

Would he still be alive

No. I don't think one event had anything to do with each other. Brown would still be a punk and the cop would still be a hothead. On the one hand, Brown never learned that you should always defer to cops because some of them are assholes and will kill you. On the other hand, the cop has to realize that he's the adult in the situation and a lot of teenagers are immature punks.

My friend, I do not know that actual height and weight of Mike Brown, but based on the video I have seen he was a fairly large young man (understatement). I seriously doubt the police officer reacted badly or even went rogue. I truly believe he feared for his life.

I don't want the young man dead, but I have a feeling he directly contributed to his own demise.
