I went back to my only source of knowledge about this subject... He said the same as you... Also, that Swisher Sweets blunts can add a sweeter flavor to an inferior product.

I fear there will be a whole bunch of discussion about this as a red herring in this case... just like Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea were in Trayvon Martin's murder.

I hope the toxicology report does not add fuel to this fire.

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

The problem they have Half-Century Man Aug 2014 #19

I hope so. savalez Aug 2014 #20

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

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
