Conjecture is Mr Brown was being stopped for questioning in that case...only conjecture..no evidence either way.

The picture by the way was released at the same time the police officers name was released. The DOJ, already involved at that point did not want it released. Right or wrong, it appears the police wanted everything non public until the investigation was complete, and maybe picture release was tit for tat on the name...all conjecture.

Why the body laid there so long...nobody knows. Again, in most cases police are allowed to properly investigate without having the entire nation asking for their scalp, but not so in this case. Seems certain folks made this decision immediately.

I sincerely take offense at your remark saying that posters say this shooting was acceptable...that, to me is just plain wrong. I never heard or saw that here or anywhere, but this is becoming just like the Martin case. And every other case of this ilk. All the damning of one side as if a black young man will be shot down for simply walking the street. That for sure did not happen, and to my knowledge, has NEVER occurred involving the police

I remenber two black men were murdered by the Chicago police while they slept, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. I was a student at the time and remember the outrage then.
