re: Michael Brown question?

He said there was a fight at the car. He said he ran and when the cop chased him he(Brown) doubled back towards the cop.

Yep.
His account sounds exactly like the policeman's friend's rendition during the radio interview.

Again, the public is being done a horrible disservice by police handling of information here. Preliminary autopsy results which would include conclusory ballistic direction and trajectories should have been released. Preliminary second autopsy (if conducted) results should be released as well.

And the Chief of Police needs to get his act in gear.
The press is quoting him as saying the officer did not associate Brown with the robbery prior to the shooting. I don't think that is what the Chief intended to communicate. I think he meant the officer's initial contact with Brown was independent of the robbery. I don't think he intended to speak to additional awareness that may have occurred during the encounter after initial contact.

But the PR has been so catastrophically inept here that who knows WTF the guy actually knows or meant.
