Yes crusty, I wonder about that too. That and a few other things. The officer had injuries to his face, and there were witness statements at the beginning that say brown was half way inside the police car punching the officer, but now I don't see any of those reports. It just goes from the police stopping the two kids to the officer shooting brown. This is another mess where the truth will never be known. We can speculate, run scenarios, listen to they said and they said, and we will most likely never know the truth. Something made the officer shoot him. What was it? There are thousands of incidents across the country every day, and cops don't shoot and kill the 'suspects' or law breakers even though they run or fight like wildcats. There are cops gunned down for no reason except for stopping the wrong person. There's never any outrage or riots. A black police officer, out of uniform, off duty and just happened to be in the auto supply store, shot and killed an unarmed white man who had done nothing criminal but get loud and belligerent, and who was trying to leave the scene. The officer knew that the auto shop owner had already called the police and they were on their way. The man was sitting in his truck when he was killed. No injuries to the officer, and after the shooting there was no 24-7 news coverage, no riots, no looting, that I ever saw or heard of.
