The pig even said his head got bashed from Mike Brown hitting it on his car.

along with any pictures. Then they'd have to convince me he didn't ask one of his pals to punch him in the face.

It's all just bullshit they'll throw out there till something sticks. But I heard that on MSNBC a few days ago.

they've released is the robbery report - not the hospital report, not the shooting report, not the autopsy report. Where is the fucking media with these questions?

until now (went to see the Woody Allen movie and walked around Times Square with all the tourists) and came home to CNN and it sounds like the police chief is getting his head handed to him. I'm praying things remain peaceful. Meanwhile I also come home to Rick Perry getting indicted!!! Love it.

The police did this with Trayvon Martin. With Eric Garner. With Renisha McBride.

Seems standard practice. Pathetic!

They will do the best they can and the killer being a cop could make justice harder, but there is hope. But you are right, this is the SOP for these situations.

I'm calling Bullshit on the "Robbery" story and here is why...

The original reports described this as a "Jaywalking" incident. Why would the police have not issued a statement saying the cop was investigating a robbery and confronted Brown based on a verbal description?

And since (I presume) you haven't shot any pedestrians this week, the answer as to whom is the smarter of the 2 parties should be obvious...

Unless I am wrong the report was not written by Darren Wilson. A different cop went to that scene and put out the description over the radio--he later edited the report to include Brown's name which might be standard procedure (There was a preliminary copy printed at 12p.m. Link to PDF at this CNN story: http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/15/us/missouri-teen-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
