Looks like a kid to me.

And wheres the box of cigars?

All I see in the big guys hands is what looks like a bottled water.

Again, this is the sort of bullshit evidencing WHY you wait to release things: so ridiculous conclusions aren't reached by apologists.

1. Looks like a kid?

Which is why you take a minute and go talk to the guy. I'm sure the police know precisely who is in the video.

2. Cigars?

The photo is released for identification of the suspect, not which brand of cigars he is stealing. This is a STILL, they have the TAPE.

3. Bottled water.

Did he pay for it? (facetious.)

Every time you type you merely flail more desperately.

Kid of blurry but that looks like a six pack of Swisher Sweets in the big guys right hand. Offhand, the proprietor looks like a middle aged south Asian guy to me.

Does that make me racist?

Or the other much more prevailing narrative, white cop shoots black guy = drug dealing gang banger street thug. Doesn't matter what actually happened.

TMI! TMI! lol.

Congrats on the weight loss! I've gained at least 20 in the last few months. I can tell, it makes me tired.

Well you didn't say thug. But in the interests of fairness I'll say yes

Thank God white cops don't shoot white M.C. members.

It's supposed to be a box of 50.

Didn't think of an Asian.

Yeah that would explain the small size.

I guess I got used to Florida where most of the convenience store proprietors are Elephant drivers. Does that make me a racist?

I see them as traitors. Not the general populace, who were tricked and then conscripted to fight for a nation that never was.

This gets better and better... (sigh)

Paraphrased from earlier in the thread: "A call from a convenience store alerted a patrolman to the area where he observed an individual matching the description in the nearby road. Contact with said individual resulted in a violent confrontation where shots were fired."

That appears to be the direction we're going, evidence based.

If you're going to have a weak argument, at least try starting with a strong -- or even accurate -- quote as premise.

As for evidence, there is a small surveillance photo running around this thread...

Your first message does use 'appears' a couple of times. It's also uses"The truth" and "300-lb. thug" and "better and better" and "evidence-based" and there's even a "sigh." It's really a mixed bag. Thug, whatever connotations one is willing to admit, is a subjective evaluation, not 'evidence based.'

And the surveillance video is it, for evidence? That's all you know about? It's poorly lit and low resolution. Have you analyzed it and positively identified Brown on it? All the reports I've seen were willing to say is 'looks like' Brown.

Why is it then that your argument in the dozen or so posts after this ASSUMES Brown did the robbery? You talk as if he'd had the trial he will never have. You are, in fact, totally on board with the character assassination now happening. There will be no trial, nothing will ever be sworn to, I bet nothing more in evidence than the video ever comes out. But he's now convicted of being a 300-lb. thug, and more people than not will believe that from now on.

And take his killing as justified, of course.
