Not this shit again.Just a small correction, it wasn't a liquor store
it was a convenience store.
Could you please link me to the witness that saw this. Please don't link to anything Dorian Johnson said as his story has already been blown by the evidence produced in the autopsy. No signs of a struggle so Brown not grabbed by the throat and pulled into the car by Wilson. Tentative reports are that Wilson had a facial injury which would mean that Brown struck Wilson.
Not this shit again.
I know right? These folk just can't catch a break.
So interesting that the martyrs are trayvons and browns, just common street trash thugs. MLK and other 'true' civil right's leaders would be ashamed at the people you all are supporting, honey. LOL.
"It wasn't a grocery store, it was a Target!!! He killed that poor little boy!"Not this shit again.
So the resident P&N pedant wants a link. I don't have a link to my word choice. Deal with it.

Duly noted for future reference and dealing with you.
Darlin', you've been duly noted for a while. BTW, I'm still not airdata. ROFL
There is no excuse for the rioting and looting that occurred. Maybe it was fueled by the "race-baiters", as you term them, maybe it was fueled by criminals taking advantage of an opportunity, or maybe it was fueled by the ingrained distrust between the Ferguson PD and the black community. Regardless, it did harm to people who played no part in the Brown/Wilson debacle. Not good.
Funny, you sure act exactly like him. I also suspect you're going to be angry yet again when it's proven Michael Brown thinking he was 10 foot tall and bullet proof was his down fall/led to his untimely death.
I think perceived racial injustice, not just injustice is what ignited the whole aftermath of Brown's death. If you agree with that, then I'm asking/wondering how did it get to that point of a racial injustice encounter given the lack of info? My most likely answer is, involvement of race baiters who took advantage of the delicate situation.
Given the lack of information about what actually occurred the days after the incident I think we have to accept that race baiting helped spawn the massive protests. You are correct, the looting and injuries sustained during the protests could have been propagated by so called "bad actors". But still a result of the environment that was created that led to protests.
The encounter could have been racist, could not have, I think if we honestly look at the media presentation that this was made into a racial issue when it was improper/unwarranted to do so.
The case is the case, but what we are witness to goes way beyond that encounter between Wilson and Brown. Interesting, terrifying and also impressive. People are revealing they are ready for a change and they have done so en masse, that is a hell of a thing to fuck with or misdirect and it's an tragic thing to waste.

Similar to the denials you were spouting for a year w/ respect to Martin.
All your defenses ended up going out the window as you kept on providing more excuses for his behavior.
Here, Brown was looking for trouble, he found it and suffered the consequences.
All he had to do was not try to go after the store.
Maybe, but that's a radical change in vector for a low velocity, highly stabilized bullet. No way it made a 90+ degree turn, so Brown would have had to have his head significantly ducked at the time. Since people generally charged with their faces straight forward, I don't think that's diagnostic as he could have easily been trying to drop at that point, having been struck in the arm multiple times, as charging with his head dropped.The bullet that hit the eye could have changed direction when it glanced off the top edge of the eye socket, changing it's angle.
Would condition Wilson's state of mind as well IF it's true that Brown's description went out over the radio while Wilson was talking to Brown.I'm not making any excuses for Brown's behavior in the store. And I agree that whatever occurred in the store likely conditioned Brown's state of mind when he was accosted by Wilson.
The question I have is whether or not Brown's behavior with Wilson warranted what happened. And I haven't seen enough facts to make that determination yet.

Flip side of this is how close Brown was shot. If he was charging and was close, dropping his head might be a natural reaction, preparing to strike or just psychologically protecting himself from gunfire. That's still a big 'might' considering how illogical it seems to me to run thirty-five feet away from someone shooting at you and then turning to charge. But then, stealing a $50 box of cigars seems highly illogical too.
Would condition Wilson's state of mind as well IF it's true that Brown's description went out over the radio while Wilson was talking to Brown.
Most all witnesses put Brown 20-25 feet away from the officer's final shot.

Liar. We have some dozen witnesses placing the thug feet away from the hero.
At which distance charging with his head down makes zero sense. Besides the likelihood of colliding with something, he could have been charging in the wrong direction.Most all witnesses put Brown 20-25 feet away from the officer's final shot.
I could easily believe such a path of the old barely stabilized, ultra high velocity/low momentum 5.56x45mm AR-15 round. I have a difficult time believing that of a highly stabilized, low velocity/high momentum 9x19mm round fired from an autoloading pistol. Hopefully though we'll get a coroner's report of entry and exit angles and internals paths so we'll know.9mm rounds have been known to have a tendancy of tumbling and could be why the round that entered his eye and exited his chin. It also could be caused by the angle it entered the eye.
Or to play Devil's advocate, it shows that Wilson's supporters are more affluent - and therefore more likely to value the police for protecting their stuff than fear them as a mortal threat.Officer Wilson has raised more money than MB. Seems like public opinion is on Wilson's side at the moment. Can't blame them since we have video footage of MB being a menace to society. Thanks to officer Wilson, the streets of Ferguson have one less thug to deal with. This feels like a great opening for a comic book story. The superhero officer Wilson making the world a better place by putting a bullet in Mike Brown's face.

That made me laugh, but the tag end is troubling. "Black 1st" and "group economics" sounds rather race warrish.
A St. Louis County Police Department officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told WND that department reports confirmed Wilson suffered a broken eye socket in a struggle with Brown before the shooting.
“For Michael Brown to fight the police officer and try to take his gun away and then to say, ‘Don’t shoot me,’ that’s resisting arrest, and it’s a felony,” he said. “All you have to do is touch the officer’s gun and you’ve committed a felony.”
