I would think the store video is good enough to figure out if it was Mr. Brown and his “witness” friend who strong armed the store. The clothes worn should be identical. There is still the issue of the officer over reacting and blasting away so many times and the Police Chief mishandling the situation badly and the underlying issue of the police/community relationship. Come back in a month or two and find out what really happened once due process runs it course.
The reason why we have to rush to judgment is that our attention spans are so short and we’ll be bored with this in a week or two – or until the next headline making death grabs our attention.

Funny that the family of Browns own private autopsy said the complete opposite of what the “witnesses” , who ignited 9 days of riots, said they saw………………….“During interviews after the Michael Brown shooting Johnson told reporters that his friend was “shot like and animal” and was running away with his hands up. Johnson’s comments helped spark the viral hashtag – #HandsUpDontShoot. Two other Ferguson shooting witnesses also later stated that Brown was running away with his hands up. Tiffany Mitchell and Piaget Crenshaw were the Brown shooting witnesses which appeared to back up Dorian Johnson’s accounting of the events. “The second time he says, ‘I’ll shoot,’ a second later the gun went off and he let go. That’s how we were able to run at the same time. The officer pursued Brown and fired another shot, which struck Brown in the back,” Johnson told USA Today”.

Will you stop being so darned reasonable! This is obviously a time for a quick and uninformed opinion.

Ted: you surprise me sometimes. Common sense is usually not what we hear from you.

I would say a broken eye socket and head injuries would be grounds for self defense
