Thought I'd bring this story up as things are heating up in St. Louis. All the focus right now is on the kid being unharmed which of course the media is going to push. I'll reserve judgement until the investigation comes to an end but if this kid was fighting with the cop and tried to grab his gun, he deserved exactly what he got.


The chief of the St. Louis County Police says a black teenager fatally shot by officers Saturday was killed during an altercation with authorities.

But as Chief Jon Belmar was speaking at a news conference Sunday morning, a few hundred angry protesters carrying signs converged on the police station taunting police with chants of "Don't shoot me," according to The Associated Press.

The AP says officers stood at the top of a staircase and stopped the crowd without using force. The confrontation reportedly continued for several hours, with some of the protesters shouting obscenities and some threats, such as "kill the police," AP says.

Police have not released the victim's name, but family members have identified him as 18-year-old Michael Brown. However, Belmar confirmed that the victim was unarmed.

Camille Phillips of member station KWMU in St. Louis reports that the police chief wouldn't say whether Brown was fleeing at the time of the shooting. He said he couldn't get into those types of questions because he hadn't sat down with the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney yet.

"I don't want to do anything that would ever prejudice this case on either side of it," Belmar said.

KSDK-TV, St. Louis, reports: "Belmar said the incident started when Brown physically assaulted the police officer, pushing him into the officer's vehicle. He said there was a struggle inside the car, and at some point Brown reached for the officer's weapon. One shot was fired inside the vehicle."

The AP says the struggle then "spilled out into the street where the teenager was shot. ... Shell casings found at the scene matched the officer's gun. Belmar said the teen was shot multiple times.

"It was more than just a couple," he said.

KSDK says:

"The medical examiner is conducting an investigation to determine how many times Brown was shot. It will take several weeks before toxicology results are available.
"After the shooting, Belmar said Ferguson Chief Tom Jackson called him and asked the county to take over the investigation.
"Belmar said when the investigation is complete, the findings will be turned over to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. They will determine if charges should be filed."

The St. Louis County NAACP said Saturday that the FBI should get involved "to protect the integrity of the investigation," AP says.
Department of Justice spokeswoman Dena Iverson said that Attorney General Eric Holder had instructed attorneys in the Civil Rights Division to monitor developments related to the shooting.

they burned down the quikmart last night. more riots will happen if that cop isnt prosecuted. i don't see them prosecuting the cop though. cops routinely get off with murder, i didn't know they'd be so bold to shoot down a 18 year old 10 times, 2 in the back in broad daylight though. most of the time they do it at night with no witnesses.

Meanwhile dozens of blacks were killed this weekend by other blacks and nothing happens. No protests.

This country has too many sparkling wiggles. They are a real problem. They kill without giving it a second thought.

Smashed windows and stole things from people who had nothing to do with what they are upset about.


Any excuse to riot I guess.

They must have all had the day off from work today because they were all up very late. They probably got permission from their employers to be late for their jobs this morning.

Maybe they have afternoon job interviews today.

I live in west county (St. Louis) and it is very nice out here. North county is a huge piece of shit and that is where all of this is taking place. That is actually where my grandparents lived until 1982 and it was absolutely beautiful, now it is just like driving through the east side of St. Louis. Say what you want about black people, but they sure did fuck up a once great community.

lol stole tennis shoes because dude got shot, geeeez f'd up people

This is pathetic,,, if you want to "riot" or walk the streets in protest do that,,, but hurting people that have had nothing to do with anything??<< pathetic,, those people that robbed for tennis shoes should be charged with a race crime,,, felony,,, cause thats exactly what it is,,,

by the way,,, what was the cause for arresting the kid that was shot??<< curious,,,, warrent??<< drugs<< it was something serious cause they dont put you in the back of the car unless your shit is going down for something,,<!--?? it was something otherwise he wouldnt of been in the back of the police car,,</strong-->

Stealing shoes is just a crime. They used someone getting shot as an excuse to steal? Fucking pathetic. Just like Katrina , disaster area and the thugs are stealing in shoulder deep flooded streets

The QuikTrip in the 9400 block of Florissant Road is looted on Sunday, Aug. 10, 2014, one day after a Ferguson officer shot and killed Michael Brown.

The rioters don't give a shit about the kid who lost his life. They're looking for free shit while the cops make sure the protesters demonstrate peacefully.

A black person is 19 times more likely to be killed by another black person than a cop.

Your fake outrage is misplaced.
