The original reports described this as a "Jaywalking" incident. Why would the police have not issued a statement saying the cop was investigating a robbery and confronted Brown based on a verbal description?



From a newspaper report after the shooting: ****WARNING..THERE IS A PICTURE OF BROWN ON THE GROUND IN THIS REPORT****

Missouri teen shot dead after jaywalking; witnesses say with hands in the air

A teen’s death has sparked national outrage, after a dispute over jaywalking resulted in a fatal police shooting. According to witnesses, the target had his hands in the air when he was shot multiple times.

Dorian Johnson was Mr. Brown’s companion that afternoon and says he witnessed the confrontation and the shooting. In an interview with MSNBC, Mr. Johnson said that he and Mr. Brown had been walking in the street when an officer drove up and told them to “Get the f— onto the sidewalk.” Those were the words Mr. Johnson recalled being yelled at him and his friend.

According to the account, the pair were nearly to Mr. Johnson’s house and did not immediately exit the street as directed. “It was not but a minute to our destination and we would be off the street,” he said in an interview.

The officer, who had already passed them, put his car in reverse and almost hit them. The male cop then opened his door, hitting Mr. Brown. When the door bounced shut, the officer grew “upset” and reached out of his window and allegedly grabbed Mr. Brown by the neck, yanking him into the window.
