Michael Brown

Holy shit... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Video stills from the strong arm robbery Michael Brown is suspected of a few minutes before he was shot. (No, not jumping the gun and saying the shooting was necessarily justified yet.)

But gentle giant, my ass...

He looked like he could fit an entire county of KFC.

The only reason this is news is because the Baltimore Ravens just lost a potential defensive lineman.

Looks like that guy is trying to run into his fists.

Are criminals usually executed after the fact for armed robbery?

I'm not sure what point you think you're making if not.

The point is, he was portrayed as Mr. Innocent just minding his own business...

I think what happened from the pictures is that the guy walked up to him and was like "Hey negro, why are you trying to steal my chicken?".
And he was like, "I'm sorry, that's my bad. Hey I really like your tie! Is that real Italian silk?"
"No its a rayon blend."

"That's amazing! It really looks and feels like silk. Hey lets go get my chicken paid for."

And then they walk back to the counter.

i wonder why he was beating up that little indian guy.

He allegedly stole a couple boxes of cigars and the clerk confronted him.

Yeah that was the big thing about it early on, setting off demonstrations.. and then lootings and assaults etc. Last I heard even one guy in the hospital in critical condition. Because this guy was a saint... uh-huh. One minute he is assaulting a clerk at a liquor store and stealing some stuff. Next minute he is taking on a cop, same deal. Can't say they are not related, the guy was a menace on a path of rage.

The cop shot in self-defense

(background conversation on the video)

#1 How’d he get from there to there?
#2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck – cause he was like over the truck
{crosstalk}
#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him
{crosstalk}
#2 Then the next thing I know he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him –

[there is dispute here whether he says "doubled back" or "coming back."]
#1. Oh, the police got his gun
#2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him
{crosstalk}
#2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing
#1 The Police?
#2 The Police shot him
#1 Police?
#2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled something about “he took it from him”)
