I probably need to use my inside voice when I say this, but.....this has nothing to do with the truth. The truth is immaterial.

One observation: FoxNews must be ecstatic to have another young black man to demonize. I am sure by next week Michael Brown will be the Anti-Christ or at least a lesser demon.

If Brown is the one who robbed the convenient store, he was asking for trouble. Had the clerk or legal CC bystander pulled a gun and shot him during or after the assault inside the store, it would more than likely have been justified at that point.
I'm not saying the officer was justified in his actions, only that it appears that Brown was asking for trouble.

Uh, if the guy committed a robbery, then he did that himself.

You keep wanting to dissect the shooting form the whole incident. Thats not how it works.
Yes it does work that way.
Lets review 2 possibilities:
1. Cop and suspect are struggling and suspect is attempting to take possession of cops weapon, cop fears for his life and shoots suspect.
2. Cop and suspect struggle, suspect flees, putting distance between him and the cop, the cop shoots the suspect without having cause to fear for his life.
Now, in each scenario above, assume that the suspect did commit a robbery and tell me the impact that fact has on the justification for the shooting. Then, assume that the suspect was not guilty of robbery, what impact does that assumption have in each situation above.
Does either assumption, change the guilt you would assign to the officer in either scenario?
It does not change anything in my view.

That's only because they have already decided the cop was wrong.
Why do they jump to conclusions? Well, that's because they want the cops to be wrong.

It probably wasn't. I don't think it really matters though.

True. I was only saying the officer's 6 year perfect record was meaningless, as is Brown's lack of criminal record.

You keep on telling yourself that. No offense, but you are wrong. Im done trying to explain it to you. Its very pertinent to the case as a whole.

Here’s the thing, you have no idea what took place at the time of the shooting. Therefore you cannot declare any action prior to the shooting to be irrelevant. If you don’t possess knowledge of the events then you don’t have the insight required to make such declarations.
It's really that simple.

some of you libs are stuck in Mississippi in the '50's.
yep, I am a lib. Wow, really. I am too far right for many republicans.
Cops are guys that are willing to take less money to have a job that allows them to have power over others and carry a gun. Cops are people that deal with the dregs of society day in and day out and come to see those people as animals. Cops are people that have gotten used to people fearing them and doing what they are told.
Now, if a big strong black kid, gets into an altercation with one of these cops and gets in a few shots, it is not unreasonable to think that a cop may shoot the kid in anger and retaliation.
They know that cops very rarely face criminal punishment for their actions, and if he should face administrative punishment, it would be worth it.
This is not too hard for me to see as a possibility.
I am not saying it happened this way, but just wanted to counter your opinion that a cop is not gonna....

Other than those things you "cannot 'beleive' a few libs on this board cannot 'peice' together the reason for the initial stop was the robbery?"

Can you read?
How is the robbery related to the cop's being in danger or not being in danger at the time of the shooting?

If Mike Brown were a suspect to be questioned at the time he was shot, then the riots, the secrecy would/should have never happened.
Either the officers didn't think he was a suspect, or the police department and city council are being managed by the biggest bunch of dunces on their side of the Mississippi River.
