Nobody I know buys them to smoke out of the package. Not that this matters, but I'm sure this contention will be made by Fox talking heads at some point.

The Ferguson "robbery" incident report has some problems. [View all] Moosepoop Aug 2014 OP

Maybe there is some sort of dollar threshold they wanted to reach? djean111 Aug 2014 #1

Felony theft is going to be way more than 48.99. The robbery is what makes it JJChambers Aug 2014 #2

I don't think it was about reaching a legal threshold. Moosepoop Aug 2014 #3

according to the story the friend that was with Mike told.....Mike handed him the Swisher's VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #4

He did. And the friend put the box back onto the counter. Moosepoop Aug 2014 #5

Indeed. n/t Moosepoop Aug 2014 #8

He hasnt been convicted yet of murder. cstanleytech Aug 2014 #12

Ferguson has 18 cruisers, and 2 cameras provided by DOJ...the dashcams have not been installed alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #16

How long have the cameras been gathering dust? cstanleytech Aug 2014 #27

Months, at the very least alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #28

You would think cameras would be mandatory by now for police cruisers. nt cstanleytech Aug 2014 #32

Three grand to install a camera? 8 track mind Aug 2014 #30

Oh, I stated the figure they mentioned because it's ridiculous alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #35

He may never be convicted. That doesn't change what happened. Iggo Aug 2014 #36

Thats the real story here... savalez Aug 2014 #23

That is the story that matters etherealtruth Aug 2014 #55

i hope the Dept of Justice is looking at the police dept barbtries Aug 2014 #9

As I see it, they are going for the old tried and true method. Half-Century Man Aug 2014 #10

Exactly savalez Aug 2014 #15

Thank you for pointing out the huge discrepancies, Moosepoop. Like the sign says.. Cha Aug 2014 #13

The Fergunson police need Half-Century Man Aug 2014 #21

Yes, you're exactly right, Half-Century Man.. Cha Aug 2014 #25

Absolutely correct...the price tag on the report bothered me as well alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #14

Aren't Swisher Sweets for rolling blunts? targetpractice Aug 2014 #17

Sometimes. Not always. Moosepoop Aug 2014 #43

I appreciate your thoughtful reply... targetpractice Aug 2014 #53

Nice work as it shows you just can't find competent racists anymore.... Spitfire of ATJ Aug 2014 #18

He pulled a carton holding a bunch of 2 packs (2 for 99 cents) off the counter alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #22

Wonder why we haven't seen video from the customer-at-the-counter angle? n/t winter is coming Aug 2014 #24

Indeed alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #26

Really great question enigmatic Aug 2014 #29

He certainly was taking his time about "stealing" those things, wasn't he? WolverineDG Aug 2014 #39

very leisurely fishwax Aug 2014 #41

You're right! Moosepoop Aug 2014 #44

Not a drivers license...he had a learners permit, expired alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #46

Learner's permit does make more sense. Moosepoop Aug 2014 #49

Without being too pedantic (too late, I know!) the incident report lists it as a permit under TYPE alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #50

That went right by me! Moosepoop Aug 2014 #52

I thought the same thing! ReRe Aug 2014 #31

Not to be a Debbie Downer but... Z_California Aug 2014 #33

I respectfully disagree. Moosepoop Aug 2014 #45

I think this is a really great observation indivisibleman Aug 2014 #37

maybe he stole the two-pack cigarillos but indivisibleman Aug 2014 #57
