Ferguson police report on Michael Brown's death violates law

“I’ve never seen an incident report that didn’t contain a description of the incident, at least on some basic level,” said Don Tittle, a veteran Texas civil and criminal attorney. “It makes you wonder if they don’t want to commit to a story.”

The ACLU filed a lawsuit to try and compel Ferguson to make the disclosure. But their attorney told Yahoo News that the incomplete police report just adds to the mistrust in Ferguson.
“It doesn’t tell us anything,” Rothert said. “We have to imagine what is there because it is all redacted.”
Missouri’s Sunshine Law states law enforcement agencies must promptly provide incident reports that include among other things, “name of the victim and immediate facts and circumstances surrounding the initial report of a crime or incident.”
Devin James, a contract spokesperson hired by the City of Ferguson since Brown’s death, told Yahoo News that questions about the report’s missing information “are beyond the scope of what my team can respond to.” He referred questions to City Attorney Stephanie Karr, who didn’t immediately reply

Last week, Chief Jackson gave members of the media 19 pages of police documents, photos and video from a convenience store robbery that occurred shortly before the fatal shooting. Police said they believe Brown and Johnson had just stolen cigars at the store before crossing paths with Officer Wilson on their way home.
“They have obviously taken the shooting of Michael Brown less seriously than the alleged robbery of cigarillos,” Rothert said. “That’s pretty disturbing.”

This thread isn't going to go well, bro.

Fascinating. Probably irrelevant. But fascinating.

So, Holder is going to enforce a law in this particular case?

Maybe the Ferguson PD's hard drive crashed.

Or maybe the STL county police is responsible for the incident report since they are running the investigation.

It's been reported that the police want to the let all the witnesses come forward first because if the report were put out early, then the witnesses could tweak their comments based on the report versus what their story is going to be
I have a feeling the Brown tried to take the Officers gun, then was gunned down...
maybe warning shots were fired, then he turned around, then with little movement, he was taken down quickly.
trigger happy or justified? But there is no way this cop tried to choke this kid from inside the vehicle, that makes no sense and doesn't explain the gun going off inside

Interesting. This is why no one should form definitive opinions without all of the information and evidence. This situation is completely messed up, and all parties are at fault.

I think that is a valid argument. They are required to release a report and if they ar honest, what's the problem. This would lead me to believe that they are doctoring the report to make it support the fact that he charged the officer.

And? What does that change?

read my first post on the matter, fairly self explainable.

The physical evidence will not change. Location of casings relative to the officer's position and Brown's, stippling on Brown's clothes and cap, evidence in the police vehicle, and on the officers gun, injuries sustained by the officer, autopsy results, etc. are what they are. No reason not to release it.
The fact they have chosen not to, looks terrible.

"Just as bare"? Not even close.

Is there anyone here who understands that the report has descriptive information, it's just been redacted when released to the press.
Ferguson PD taking a page out of the Admin playbook perhaps?
