5. Initial contact between officer and brown was not related to the robbery.


If this thug just committed a crime and a cop approaches him, how does the thug know it's not related to the robbery?

Not to offend but seriously based only on our exchanges in this thread count me as the first one to think you were/are.

It doesn't offend me. It just lets me know you have a preconceived notion about who I am. Like I said.

Ok, review of what Chief is saying? Antonio French just tweeted that he is putting peace at risk, and could fan flames.

All hell will break loose in STL before this is over. You want to give the protesters a stronger belief that you are trying to screw them over, do what this chief is doing


These idiots are just looking for an excuse to behave badly. Stealing and destroying property have nothing to do with social justice.

Can't believe all of these people took off of work to protest. The streets are packed.

He doesn't. But the cop didn't know it was about the robbery according to the fricking chief of police.

Good point. Brown prob thought the cop coming to him was related.

This reminds me of the OJ Simpson trial, only worse because they should have learned from that. They have fricked things up so bad the truth is likely to never be found out

Christopher Roupe, 16,


I had to go back to this, sorry, but I fail to see how an early protest, especially started right after he was shot would have been any wiser than the one here.

Contact between officer and Brown unrelated to the robbery.

On Friday afternoon, Michael Brown's family and their attorney released the following statement:

"Michael Brown’s family is beyond outraged at the devious way the police chief has chosen to disseminate piece mil information in a manner intended to assassinate the character of their son, following such a brutal assassination of his person in broad daylight.
There is nothing based on the facts that have been placed before us that can justify the execution style murder of their child by this police officer as he held his hands up, which is the universal sign of surrender.
The prolonged release of the officer’s name and then the subsequent alleged information regarding a robbery is the reason why the family and the local community have such distrust for the local law enforcement agencies.
It is no way transparent to release the still photographs alleged to be Michael Brown and refuse to release the photographs of the officer that executed him.
The police strategy of attempting to blame the victim will not divert our attention, from being focused on the autopsy, ballistics report and the trajectory of the bullets that caused Michael’s death and will demonstrate to the world this brutal execution of an unarmed teenager."
