If the kid was resisting arrest why not use the taser on him before resorting to deadly force? Is the Ferguson PD not equipped with tasers? And if the police knew they were looking for a strong armed robbery suspect why not more cops on the scene? You'd think that they would have more than just one cop handle it. Lots of questions about this incident and so far not many answers.
Johnson already admitted to going to the store and taking the cigars.
It was just on CNN that Johnson is not going to face any charges for that incident....I guess because he just stood there, although I think Michael Brown did hand Johnson one box of the cigars.
Not just from the photos, but because at least 3 witnesses report the same scenario: They say the cop was going after him, and kept shooting as Michael fled, and also kept shooting when Michael turned around with his hands up.
At that point, the cop should have stopped shooting. The distance isn't even that important, it's the fact that he was shot in the back (if that turns out to be the case), and that he was shot while surrendering with his hands up (if that turns out to be true.)
His Uncle is telling the press the cops shot him in the face.
Crump says the cop assassinated him in cold blood.
He said that first the police assassinated this teen and are now attacking his character and that it's all smoke and mirrors by the police.
Also, Johnson has admitted to being in the store and taking the cigars. This was released by Johnson's lawyer.

I'd like to thank the gutless wonder who sent me an unsigned 'fock u' message for confirming what chickenpoop pissants some folks are when they can hide behind a keyboard.
I just find it interesting that anti gun full on liberals are so against the very authorities who they say are the only ones qualified to own firearms, the police.
All of the facts are not out. We do know that an unarmed big man was killed by a police officer after him and his buddy committed a crime. The buddy may now be charged homicide.
Maybe some of us liberals aren't too keen on a heavily armed society---whether it's criminals or the cops. Police in many countries don't even carry guns.
It was just on CNN that Johnson is not going to face any charges for that incident....I guess because he just stood there, although I think Michael Wood did hand Johnson one box of the cigars.
They have no intentions of arresting Johnson for obvious reasons but NOT because he just stood there.
They were planned out way ahead of time, and usually on weekends.
That being said, if I believed the police murdered an innocent person from my neighborhood, I'd probably skip work to participate in a protest (protest, not riot).
Same here.

Now, even if one believed the cops, in the developed world, we do not have the p.d. execute a suspect. To those who disagree, if the cop is charged with a violent crime related to the shooting, you must be comfortable than with the arresting officer executing his sentence.
I'm starting to question whether this is a St. Louis suburb circa 2014 or perhaps Philadelphia, Mississippi circa 1964.
IDK but to me it seem suspect this info is released the same day they name the cop. I don't know why it took so long to release his name. No one will do any harm to him except maybe a few threats from trolls on the internet.

Don't like Crump. They should get another lawyer.

I've never heard of a strong armed robbery before. Is this a new term?

Yet here it is, stashed away in closets until needed.
