I heard that a 2nd autopsy is being done now. My guess is just to stall for time. The cops are waiting for toxicology of Brown.
My guess, and i could be totally wrong but if im not there is nothing wrong with it, that brown might have pot in his system. So what.
The cops are going to use that to further assassinate his character.
I imagine the local asshole cops conducting this press conference....
'Thank you everyone for coming. We finally have the final report with devastating news. Brown had thc in his system. Yes thats right! Not only was he a strong arm thieving thug....
(who btw was shot twice in the back and a few times in the front)
but he smoked pot too!!! This is very alarming news that he was a hardcore drug user probably out of his mind that morning high on Pot Brownies and cigarellos. We hope now that this issue can be put to rest and we can move forward with healing all the wounds our community has suffered.
Thanks for coming, no questions.'
i Just have that feeling that they arent done trying to destroy this boy.
stupid cops

(2,186 posts)Most Americans seem to realize that releasing that video was a diversion from the fact that a cop executed a young black man.......again.

(6,355 posts)Now, they need to be sure to kill his public reputation to ensure that nobody in the county gives a flying f'ck that they gunned him down.
Killing the body only makes a martyr. Killing the person he was, destroying his reputation, erasing his humanity...that's what needs to be done now to "silence the mob". While his parents struggle to bury what will be left of his body, the police will be working to bury his legacy.
The main job of the police now is to have America believe "he isn't worth all this noise".
F*ck them.

(1,915 posts)and you are right thats a seriously smart move on the families part.

(44,973 posts)Family can release the results any time if they wanted to.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)assumed they were sitting on the results for some reason?
That would be the St. Louis County Medical Examiner, releasing only the preliminary result of their completed autopsy- death from gun shot wound(s).
Faux pas
(14,672 posts)to play defense in all this.
I hope this whole ordeal leads to blowing up the 'myth' of racism. Equality shouldn't be too much for anyone to ask for.
IronGate
(2,186 posts)Hope this is correct and the truth finally comes out.
LisaL
(44,973 posts)He'll tell the truth no matter where it leads.
I myself, don't trust the county ME to release the true report.
Faux pas
(14,672 posts)that the family requested that Eric Holder get the feds in on another autopsy.

(1,915 posts)maybe they are waiting to get the cop in witness protection before then. the city is going to explode when all the details come out finally

(47,209 posts)The family's autopsy is not completed yet. You should correct your posts that make it seem like the family is hiding something.
I'm sure that's not the impression you'd like to give.
femmocrat
(28,394 posts)I think they will probably wait on that prelim report, considering the giant cluster*uck they created with the convenience store tape.

aint_no_life_nowhere
(21,925 posts)suggesting that he was a "gangsta" and therefore a 'no good'. There's even a website that supposedly features a number of rap tunes he recorded including a tune about smoking grass. I won't link to it here because I'm not sure it's even him. I'm not at all a fan of rap music but writing some non-rhyming poems set to a beat does not make it more okay to kill someone. There's a lot of character assassination going on here and an attempt at trial by media.

seveneyes
(4,631 posts)Is the autopsy report out that confirms this? I keep reading this but no confirmation has come forth.

No autopsy details have been released yet.
cwydro
(51,308 posts)But the video shows no evidence of wounds to his back
alcibiades_mystery
(36,437 posts)Well, they've hired an expert to do it, anyway.
seveneyes
(4,631 posts)It would certainly be more reliable than a single twitter tweet.

(10,952 posts)The feds want to perform their own autopsy on Michael Brown, the unarmed teen shot dead by local police in Ferguson, Missouri, a week ago.
"Due to the extraordinary circumstances involved in this case and at the request of the Brown family, Attorney General Holder has instructed Justice Department officials to arrange for an additional autopsy to be performed by a federal medical examiner," Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said in statement. "This independent examination will take place as soon as possible. Even after it is complete, Justice Department officials still plan to take the state-performed autopsy into account in the course of their investigation."
The feds last week opened up a civil-rights investigation into the case which has sparked outrage in the black community both locally and nationwide, and led to angry protests and riots in Ferguson.
