also, any autopsy news on this? last i heard, the independent autopsy didn't fit anyone's story of what happened, not the cops, not the witnesses- which is a nightmare in the making

I'm still confused by the man stories saying MB and his friend Dorian stole from a local store, the store denying this, video of him arguing with some dude in the store, the store not commenting, not to mention the dozen times the police story has changed.

I mean its a fuck up of epic proportion on their part, not just the event itself but literally every single decision they have made in dealing with the public since then. It's staggering amounts of ineptitude.

"main stories"

durrr why would a store owner in ferguson suddenly clam up durrr durrr durrr

Because the orchestra hates black people? I don't get it.

oops, not meant in reply to anyone

The answer should be obvious to anyone with half a brain. Clearly, the reptoids and the Illuminati have decided to handle this story in very different ways, thus resulting in the media clusterfuck we see here.

I think the urine on the cake was that cop who let his K-9 piss all over the Michael Brown memorial with dozens of shocked onlookers watching.

More important question: Why didn't they actually call the police to report a robbery if there was a robbery? Because as it is the cops just made up a motive (other than jaywalking) to shoot some kid. We are supposed to believe that a kid, mind riddled with marijuana madness, REACHED HALF OF HIS BODY INTO A COP CAR TO STEAL A GUN FROM THE COP'S HOLSTER.

They haven't "clammed up." All we saw on camera is the clerk run up to the kid, put his arm on him, and then get pushed aside. That's all that happened. That's not how robberies actually happen. I would do the same thing if somebody I didn't know touched me.

No store owner is going to call the cops if some kid shoplifts what seems to be less than worth of merchandise.

You'd be spending more in payroll dealing with the cops than what the items were worth.

One thing that annoys me is that people keep calling it a robbery. It's shoplifting. If Mike Brown was white, he would be called a shoplifter (and he'd be alive).

Yes, the clerk was shoved somewhat, but anyone who works retail knows that you don't put yourself between a criminal and an exit. You let them go, because you life isn't worth some cigarillos.

are you guys really this fucking stupid and sheltered. "If you work retail you let them go". The guy getting robbed doesn't "work retail" he owns the store, Mike Brown is taking money out of his pocket. Theres no insurance covering his loss, no corporate profits to write this down against. And now one wrong word and his store is ashes with him beaten to death in front of it during the next "protest".

"Why didn't they actually call the police to report a robbery"
Do you think cops are going to give a shit about anything less than a dead body in this area? Where the fuck do you live?

"We are supposed to believe that a kid, mind riddled with marijuana madness, REACHED HALF OF HIS BODY INTO A COP CAR TO STEAL A GUN FROM THE COP'S HOLSTER."
When you put it like that it sounds so implausible. Actually no, the opposite. You forgot to mention he just robbed a store and carried the stolen merch down the middle of the street but whatev. A shining example of intelligence and rational acting for us all. How did he get shot, IDK a mystery

"If Mike Brown was white, he would be called a shoplifter (and he'd be alive)"
Keep telling yourself that

Yes, as someone who's worked in the soul-crushing environment of retail stores for far too long (thank God I don't anymore), I can tell you for a fact that when someone snatches cigarellos from your counter and leaves, that's called 'shoplifting'. That's what you tell your boss happened; that's what you report it to the police as (if you even bother); that's what the police file it under; that's what it *is*.

And I'm sorry, theSnake, but if you think the sort of person who shoplifts from retail stores directly correlates to the sort of person who tries to pull a cop's gun out of the holster and shoot them with it, you're an idiot.

Wait, no -- I'm not sorry. You're just an idiot.

I feel like Cena_mark circa 2013 whenever theSnake starts talking. Thanks!

It's actually kind of incredible in a not-at-all incredible way to watch some of the members of this site not only excuse a shoplifting followed by an assault (it's just a very violent shove!) but pretty much blame the shop owner. Yet this is the same website that lost their collective shit over a cop shoving a woman.

Mike Brown was likely a shitty kid but even shitty kids (usually!) don't deserve to be shot.

Cop getting shot to death with his own gun in the ghetto: "Please stop, we need to give you due process"

Right, how many times was Michael Brown shot again? And at what range?

Yes, that is what happened. The cop was being shot to death.

"I'm never gonna die in no ghetto. Absolutely never."

that and the dude with the most shit eating grin ever really kick this up a notch

You really think the Ferguson cops would shoot these white people, too? Yeah, you're probably right. At this point, they'd shoot anything that moves.

theSnake, I don't think you live in Ferguson, or even the St. Louis area. Fuck, I'm not even sure you could find Missouri on a map. Please don't talk about Ferguson like you know the residents there.
