Why has Dorian Johnson not been arrested? justiceischeap Aug 2014 #5

Because they are full of shit. nt conservaphobe Aug 2014 #6

Because they KNOW it is a lie and that the person in the video is not Brown. Rex Aug 2014 #19

It is Brown in the video. MohRokTah Aug 2014 #34

The shove looked bad, for sure. Faux pas Aug 2014 #97

Absolutely. Ms. Toad Aug 2014 #98

Another black man killed over a small amount of tobacco? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Aug 2014 #10

Since the photos show the suspect assaulting a clerk, LisaL Aug 2014 #11

I said 'petty crimes'. I was using the word simply as a generic adjective Erich Bloodaxe BSN Aug 2014 #14

Seriously? You think pushing a store clerk around in this fashion is minor? LisaL Aug 2014 #16

Point is, it's not a death penalty offense. merrily Aug 2014 #27

I've been pushed around more than that Erich Bloodaxe BSN Aug 2014 #48

But the clerk threatend him first. Johonny Aug 2014 #23

Those pictures are not conclusive that the person is Brown. nt ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #31

Are the police releasing this, yet will not release the shooter-cop's name?? WinkyDink Aug 2014 #28

The name was released already. LisaL Aug 2014 #30

It was my understanding the name was first revealed by sources other than the police. WinkyDink Aug 2014 #32

It is a violent act, but where's the proof that it's Michael Brown? conservaphobe Aug 2014 #36

OK, so Brown was the primary suspect in what appears to be shop lifting etherealtruth Aug 2014 #66

I'm going to try to answer that carefully so I don't get pummeled or start trouble cleduc Aug 2014 #76

The cop reportedly was not even aware that brown was a suspect etherealtruth Aug 2014 #84

Initially, no. He was concerned with them blocking the street. BUT cleduc Aug 2014 #85

Oddly that detail was added MUCH later etherealtruth Aug 2014 #86

So some of the media claims BUT cleduc Aug 2014 #88

A diversion from the real issue is all damnedifIknow Aug 2014 #69
