It doesn't matter that the cop was black either. My suspicion is that he's a police officer first. If there's a "black kid" on the street, he's a suspect to a cop. I mean, that's the mindset in many areas these days. So, it still could very well be a racial issue. The profiling of young black men is at an all-time high. Doesn't matter who's doing the profiling.

Here's a link to a page with still of the QT camera footage.

The stills only show an altercation and I can't tell if it's MB or not. I don't see a weapon drawn.
You won't see a weapon drawn. A 'strong arm robbery' is one where force and intimidation are used rather than a weapon.

I'm confused here. If MB robbed the store with a weapon, why was there no weapon found on him at the scene of the shooting? Also, even if he was a suspect was there any reason for the officer to completely empty his weapon on him?
Either way, you're right that people should have waited to pass judgement in this case.

I agree. And I include myself. We'll have to see what the pictures, videos, and other reports say. But I have an EXTREMELY hard time believing that a suspect was able to get close enough to Warren, unimpeded, to push him back into his car. Someone has some 'spainin' to do. If he was that incompetent, the officer shouldn't be on the street.
Greetings community members of St. Louis, MO and all those across the nation. The Ethical Society of Police has been closely following the events surrounding the unfortunate police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO.
As a result of public outcry and a demand for justice, the Ferguson police officer's name was released and happens to be, Darren Wilson.
The first thing we would like to assure the world is that this is a horrific coincidence.
May I assure the world that this is not the President of the Ethical Society of Police's Sergeant Darren R. Wilson who is African-American, and happens to be an 18 year veteran of the St. Louis Police Department.

Strong-arm robbery is a term used to describe a situation where the offender used any degree of force to complete the act. Strong-arm robbery is technically a term used to describe the crime of "Robbery by sudden snatching." This crime's definition is detailed below: 812.131 - Robbery by sudden snatching
Brown has been Trayvonized, damn the ample evidence, full speed ahead. When will this wanton slaughter of innocent little black angels stop?
