It appears I owe officer Darren Wilson an apology for referring to him as a "rogue cop". He now appears as much a victim of the bumbling mishandling of the aftermath as anyone else.
This still doesn't excuse the treatment of citizenry as stupid sheep undeserving of a timely explanation or the goon squad supression of reportage to include a pictoral record.

Lost you on this one.

It's even more weakly esoteric than your typical "argument."

The body left laying there for that long is still really strange to me, but who knows...

When someone dies, there's no manner in which to make things pretty.

Clearly, there is some ugliness, here.

Plus it does not change the fact that Brown was shot fleeing the officer and was unarmed. At least there is some justification for the stop.


They could have release the video without even making a statement as to who is in the store. They do that all the time in efforts to catch robbers.
Give them time. Evidence is being fabricated as we wait.

I agree with you; why no audio or video of the altercation? I would have thought that this is SOP these days with law enforcement.

And if credible evidence is available, why would you don military gear and let a riot happen. That's contrary to maintaining law and order.

Your best point yet.

Thugs impede people.

They're not packaged by the dozen.

Police report indicates the proprietor was robbed for a box valued at ~$50. Essentially, this is like walking in and leaving with something the size of a car battery through intimidation or acts of violence.

That's what it looks like to me.

A whole lot of stalling while they get their stories straight.

Well that's different.

Shooting someone over 50 swisher sweets is a helluva lot better than shooting them over 6.

Now. since Officer Wilson encountered them just minutes after the alleged robbery, one of them must have had that box on them. A box of 50 would be pretty hard to hide. So I suppose the police will be able to produce that box of cigars as evidence.?
