Showing up in armored vehicles dressed for combat using gas is an escalation by definition. A show of brute force is the best they could come up with?

What a wuss....

Interesting take by a friend of the police officer involved that called into a local radio station in St Louis.

Its all hearsay of course. Take with grain of salt but IF the autopsy and ballistics corroborate this story it may be why the family is asking for another autopsy, along with the findings of toxicology reports.

Curious was the QT that was nearly leveled, the store they stole the cigars from?

For those not listening-


Cop rolls up on them, tells them to get out of the street


Brown and friend tell cop to stick it


Cop pulls over. At some point, radio call comes over about strong-arm robbery and suspect descriptions, cop notices that they appear to be holding the Swisher Sweets from the robbery.


Cop puts car in reverse, tries to get out. Brown forces door shut violently.

Cop tries to open door again, tells them to put hands up. Brown punches him in the face, pushes him back into the car, goes for cop's gun.

At one point, the cop has the gun pointed against his hip, pushes it away. Gun goes off. Brown runs. Protocol is to pursue.

Brown and friend start taunting cop, say "You're not gonna shoot me", then bull-rushes him. Kept shooting him because he wouldn't stop. Thinks he was on something (PCP?) because he wasn't feeling anything from the shots.

Final shot was to the forehead, which took him down. This is why people think it was execution style.

Autopsy should show where the bullets came in and possibly the distance. Multiple wounds showing different levels of powder burns, etc., would support the argument that Brown was moving toward the officer.

Blood tox likely takes a while. It's possible that Brown was an adrenal freak and just didn't feel it until he got it in the brain, but it's more likely that something like PCP would be involved for this story to pan out.

The officers own dept. states he knew nothing about the robbery and it had nothing to do with the altercation. Do you think they are lying? Why?

Liberal's are so programed to follow each other like robots! Time and time again they wring their hands and cry about some perceived injustice and when the truth comes out, they hide and wait for the next "injustice" to whine again!

Let me get this straight...he tells them to get out of the street...they say frick off...he pulls over and is hanging out in the car monitoring the radio (how long?)...then he notices the swishers and puts the car in reverse and from the car, right next to a robbery suspect says "put your hands up" while trying to exit the vehicle near enough to the suspect that he shuts it on the cop and then dives through the window for the gun...this sounds way off, but if not, he sounds like Barney fricking Fife except for having a loaded gun.

You didn't watch the video...Brown walks out with a box or boxes of Swishers. You never stop embarrassing yourself do you.

Sorry, I don't feel embarrassed by my ignorance. Never have been. Ignorance is an opportunity to learn.


You must be projecting.
