Ferguson Police Release Name Of Officer Who Shot Michael Brown
The Ferguson, Mo., police department on Friday identified the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. That action prompted protests which have besieged the town.
Police Chief Thomas Jackson identified Darren Wilson as the officer, a man who has been on the force for six years and has had no disciplinary action against him..
It’s taken three days for the police to release the name of the officer involved in the shooting death.
According to eyewitnesses, Brown’s hands were in the air when he was shot down.
This announcement comes just after an account linked with Anonymous released who they said was the name of the officer in question, however, that name is incorrect.
A second batch of information came through via a pastebin which incorrectly named who they thought was the officer.
“Hands in the air” has become a symbol in the protests and again last evening during the National Moment of Silence which took place in 90 cities across America.

Why can’t we wait for the facts to come out before judging what happened? Why is it acceptable for these folks to loot and riot? Why did the shooting victim not do as the police asked? Just love when people go on ‘feelings’ before fact.

Why are the only facts coming out trying to justify shooting someone in the back.
Why are you bring up the looting when that has nothing to do with the shooting and were perpetrated by 50 to 60 people in a town of 21000?

if you were a 17 year old black youth, you’d understand why they won’t “step up on the sidewalk” –
so they can be shot DEAD for possessing a ‘deadly weapon’?

Much better to walk down the middle of a two lane street in front of cars.

So now we know how many cigars Mike Brown allegedly stole but not how many bullets entered his body and from what direction.
————————————————————————————————————-
Seems like the investigation is going as planned.
whatthe46 August 15th, 2014 at 14:01
i guess they magically “cigars” disappeared too.

If Mike Brown was truly considered a suspect in the robbery he would have been questioned immediately upon discovery and not told to merely step up on the sidewalk.
whatthe46 August 15th, 2014 at 14:10
what was the discovery? ahhh.

Steve Lohner, white 18 y/o, of Aurora, was stopped by police in late July after several residents called 911 concerned about the gun-toting teen.
Instead of cooperating with police, however, Lohner refused to provide an ID to prove how old he was and decided to film the entire encounter for YouTube.

he’s still alive. not tased, not shot and not thrown to the ground. if his skin was brown…

Oh good, we’ve finally got the name of the officer who shot Michael Brown, and–
Wait, what are we supposed to do with this information?
Eric Trommater August 15th, 2014 at 14:32
I’ve been asking that for 2 days.
ChrisVosburg August 15th, 2014 at 14:36
Yeah, the thing is, this sort of incident is usually accompanied by a top-down culture of indifference to lawless policing, as residents of Los Angeles well know, and I’m looking at you, Daryl Gates.

Nah, that has all been scrubbed clean by now, most of the good juicy evidence is probably long gone.
R.J. Carter August 15th, 2014 at 15:11
On the presumption there was any.
ChrisVosburg August 15th, 2014 at 15:30
No doubt, and somewhere Mark Fuhrman is sending up a silent thanks to God that facebook wasn’t invented yet when was an LAPD officer.
And of course that is what is happening with Michael Brown as well, as witnessed by Stupidest Man on the Internet Jim Hoft, who posted a picture of Brown throwing a gang sign (pictured below) which totally proves he’s a gangster, like every other kid who threw signs in a pic.
Wait, did I say that was Brown in the pic? Nope, it’s Robert Culp in Outer Limits ep Demon With a Glass Hand, hee hee.
Eric Trommater August 15th, 2014 at 15:55
Harlan Ellison will be suing you for use of that image. Lol. Just ask James Cameron!

Why the public do anything at all with that information? It’s going to take time, but there is enough attention on this now to investigate and learn all the facts. You also have enough time to react if you don’t get the outcome you want.

There is too much emotion and not enough fact. The only thing we really know is that a young man is dead. In addition to the policeman’s name there was also some information linking both Brown and his friend, who was also the witness, to a strong arm robbery just before the shooting.
whatthe46 August 15th, 2014 at 16:18
the police chief acknowledged that (in a conference) that the officer that murdered brown, knew absolutely nothing about what happened at the store. in fact, brown’s friend said brown took some cigars and the police said it was not a shoplifting incident, because brown pushed the clerk when he was leaving the store. that being said, the officer who shot brown only approached them for walking in the street, not a “robbery.” neither by the way is a death penalty offense. the chief also said that brown’s friend was not going to be charged for shoplifting or strong armed robbery.
JeffreyPtr August 15th, 2014 at 16:58
What I’m saying is that this is a new set of facts and rather then each of us building the story we want it to be, we should get all the facts and learn the complete truth.
The officer not knowing a crime may have been committed doesn’t mean much. It could actually be used to explain any aggressive move by Mr. Brown and misreporting of events by his friend. This too is idle speculation, we can build stories to convict or exonerate the policeman. Speculation is useless, this needs investigation and some time to find the truth.
whatthe46 August 15th, 2014 at 17:14
i responded, awaiting for it to be approved. lol… the only word, lets see… drug dealer.
whatthe46 August 15th, 2014 at 17:15
nope that’s not the problem word… lets try, gang member…
whatthe46 August 15th, 2014 at 17:16
nope that’s not the problem word… lets try a phrase…
two guys were violent or were gang members or drug dealers
JeffreyPtr August 15th, 2014 at 17:32
It can explain the cop being too casual at first, not really expecting trouble. Simply stopping two guys because something just doesn’t look right and getting attacked by one of them. As I said though this is all just us building stories that fit our fancy and doesn’t do anything to help get at the truth.

whatthe46 August 15th, 2014 at 17:27
i understand you. but, when they were told to get out of the street, they continued walking, but slowly. it was reported that the cop then reversed and accosted brown. that wouldn’t be consistent with brown reacting aggessively first. another girl was interviewed and she said that she noticed what was going on and when she saw the cop grab brown, she wanted to start recording but, before she could she heard a shot and saw brown’s body
JeffreyPtr August 15th, 2014 at 17:42
Every statement has to be taken and looked at. Everyone tends to tell what they saw in a light that fits their own set of experiences. Maybe everyone was giving the cop’s actions their full undivided attention, or maybe they heard something, missed some of what happened and let their biases fill in the blanks.
From what you say it all happened too fast for this one witness to locate her cell phone and start recording. Was she actually watching everything that happened or looking for her phone? Who knows? I’m not ready to empathize with a lynch mob for this particular officer just yet.

So, now it’s reported that the Michael Brown stop had nothing to do with the store theft. Gee, and people here wonder why I will take Anon’s word over FPD?
Anon is a group without organization. Some of the info they find is questionable. Some is spot on. While I am a skeptic, their track record isn’t so bad compared to the constant drift of FPD’s tales. The tape of scanner chatter/911 that an anon hacktivist posted is interesting.
whatthe46 August 15th, 2014 at 16:47
what’s funny is, they knew there was no link to begin with and it took them 6 days to admit that. before they did, they wanted to make this kid look like a career criminal. i’m wondering how many weeks will it take tell us how many bullets hit him and how many were in his back. its not rocket science.
