Convenience store photograph of "gentle giant" [on left with cigars in hand], just in case you missed it. It may not be available much longer.

#4 But the video shattered their black-powa narrative.

#5 It probably wouldn't have made any difference whether the video was released or not. These rioters don't seem to want to be confused with any facts. I wonder how many of the rioters are actually from Ferguson?

#9 No problems putting ~~Zimmerman~~ the police on trial in the press, but you're not allowed to defend yourself in the same court? BTW, it became a public record when it came into the hands of the police. We're just lucky(?) the hard drive didn't crash before it's release.

#10 Roger P2k. The governor and lieutenant governor have both thrown the police under the bus at every opportunity.

#11 The robbery has everything to do with the shooting. The officer might have had no idea of the robbery. But Brown did! What I mean is that Brown knew he had just robbed a store and thought that the officer either knew or would soon know. This would certainly influence Browns actions. The cop walked into a robbery suspect unknowingly and probably could not understand why this man was being so aggressive...

#12 Ferguson, MO is lost. Time to chopper out the innocents, post the obit in the St. Louis Dispatch and pour out a 40 on a dung pile for your homies.

#13 I had tossed on Officer Quintpod of the Tacticool Response Unit the other day.

In all fairness, the quaint locals are also looking and acting the part, and were very quick to riot.
