Actually I was wrong the twitter witness said the first two shots were fired with his back turned then he faced the cop for the remaining 5 shots: https://twitter.com/7im/timelines/499639344613695488

Why would you shoot a looter. Do they not have insurance?

"Robinson's disappointment motivated him to help fend off looters from vulnerable stores. Others like him pleaded with looters to stop taking merchandise while police silently watched.

Christopher Scott, 24, of Northwoods, Mo., stood in front of Ferguson Market and Liquor blocking the door's shattered front glass door and sharing his feelings with looters. He, along with about ten other men, physically pushed back a crowd of young men who were trying to make their way into the convenience store."


Police are happy to fire on crowds of nonviolent protesters, but when it comes to actually doing their job, they silently watch.

Don't you think there really isn't much they can do at this point? They know that if there is any more violence coming from their side, the media is going to pounce. It's a lose-lose situation all around, and I feel really bad for the store owners.

I don't think people would pounce for them doing their jobs.

However, they've made so many missteps so far, they are in a precarious position, but this is their own fault. I don't think continually doing the wrong thing is going to help them. So far, I haven't seen anyone apologize for the actions of the police, which is really sad. If they showed some sense of humility or taking responsibility for their own actions, that would go a long way.

The governor just instituted a curfew. Seems like another possible misstep to me. Do the really need an excuse to arrest/heckle anymore people?

I was just telling my buddy that a curfew is about the DUMBEST thing they can do.

That just means the police will be cruising up and down the street...LOOKING for trouble.

Seems like a terrible idea...but I guess it gives them a reason to arrest people if they are out.

So there is your probable cause.

A curfew is going to piss everyone off. That town will burn tonight.

They had a chance to save it, but they blew it.

I wonder who will be replacing the State Troopers once people start dying tonight. National Guard? Feds?

I imagine the curfew will keep the peaceful protesters to a minimum. But if people are looking for trouble (looters, etc) why in the hell would a curfew stop them?

I don't see this curfew ending well at all.

The press is to be confined to a small zone tonight. Yikes.

That governor has completely lost control. At this point nothing short of a personal presidential visit and intervention will prevent all-out war.

He gave a 15 minute speech before this uninterrupted. He's not much of an orator, to be honest. The room exploded after he announced martial law.

I figured that was their intention with the curfew. Lawful protesters abide by the curfew, rioters go apeshit. They need this situation to turn ugly so that it will lose support from the rest of Americans.

If the cops turn their back on the situation and store owners take up arms like they did in LA, this could really get bad.

I think the rain prevented it from even being worse last night (not that it wasn't ugly anyway with a protester being shot by someone else in the crowd etc.).

I think everyone should stop protesting until the investigation is over.

The video from the gas station shows the "victim" was fully capable of being involved in a physical altercation while committing a crime. Cant really put it past him to rough a cop up, that cop like half the dudes size too.

Lol not gonna happen. And there is certainly a chance that Brown escalated the situation to the point the cop feared for his life... but that's no excuse to unload 7 shots (allegedly) into him and then for the PD to militarize the city... which is what this is really all about.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, tasked with overseeing law enforcement efforts in Ferguson, impassionedly spoke about how the incident has affected him.

“When this is over, I’m going to go into my son’s room, my black son, who wears his pants sagging, wears his hat cocked to his side, got tattoos on his arm, but that’s my baby,” he said to standing applause. “And we all need to thank the Browns for Michael, because Michael is going to make it better for our sons so they can be better black men.”

^
1) that, so far, isn't the same as what the police have officially stated has happened
2) the video is consistent with what the witnesses have been saying that he had his hands up yelling he was unarmed
3) if he was in fact running towards the cop, that could be a game changer, but no official has claimed this yet

I forgot to mention that I was being facetious due to the autopsy report having all wounds from the front, even though everyone and their momma saw him running for his life as the cop gunned him down and executed him in broad daylight.
