It what is clearly an attempt to defile the victim of a homicide by one of their own, the Ferguson PD has produced what they claim is a photo of Brown and an unidentified black male in a scuffle, apparently within a store.
According to the Ferguson PD, Brown, the alleged suspect in a "strongarm" robbery stole a pack of Swisher cigars.
The Ferguson PD also states that Wilson -- the cop who shot down the unarmed teenager (some shots in his back, some while he was facing him with his hands raised and begging him to "stop shooting") was answering an unconnected robbery call when he accosted Brown and Brown's friend for jaywalking.
Obviously, even if Brown was guilty of the theft of a pack of Swisher cigars, and was jaywalking, and even if there was a scuffle in the police car, after Brown allegedly broke free and started to run the cop had no right whatsoever to shoot the 18-year-old. The kid at that point was no threat to the officer or anyone else.
It's appears to be another outrageous attempt by the Ferguson PD to vilify Brown and provide some sort of excuse for Wilson.
Reality.
