Chief Thomas Jackson got the President's message about transparency

Trying to paint Mike Brown as a suspect in a strong arm robbery was pretty damn transparent.

Let's for shits and giggles concede that he and Johnson were involved in the strong arm robbery... does that justify executing an unarmed man trying to surrender?

Until they provide us with proof.

I'm going with this -

Every single black man regardless of what they were wearing and whether they were walking on the sidewalk or the street was a 'suspect' to that officer.

The only way Michael Brown would NOT have been a suspect is if he was NOT black - I.E. White, Asian, Pacific Islander. . .

Anonymous released the dispatch calls which start an hour before the shooting and end that evening.
NO robbery calls
NO shooting calls..ie: shots fired.
NO EMS calls to the location after the victim was shot.
the ONLY call about the situation is for "crowd control"
