The police chief just admitted that. He stopped Brown for jaywalking...on a residential side street,not a busy street,a residential side street.Just wanted to make that clear.

That police department knows they are going to get their asses sued off and that a bunch of people are going to lose their jobs and maybe even go to jail. You are right, this is their shitty attempt to control the narrative by convicting the victim in the media.

(11,243 posts)So the journalists know the magnitude of assholes they are dealing with. But they are also click whores and need to get people to watch the 24 hour channels, so it will be reported ad nauseam.

(14,532 posts)the exact thing I just posted in another thread. Brown was still in the process of walking home from the alleged robbery. There is no way that the police could have gotten to the store, taken a report for the theft of a pack of cigarillos and find Brown in less than 15 minutes.
