WTF - DOJ told Ferguson police not to release that robbery video

18. My response when I saw it..

was a huge "Awwwww, nooooooo." This will make racists happy.

There has to be a grand jury coming out of this soon, and the tape should have been preserved as evidence as to moods and motives....

My impression of it was that it showed a big kid and a buddy, who with all the stuff in the store to steal, picked cigars.

Cigars are traditional to hand out when a baby is born, and I wonder if Michael planned on passing out a few because he was starting college...and he probably was used to guys cringing when he towered over them, and meant no harm. Probably chuckled over it if he's anything like the big guys I remember from long ago who weren't bullies, and just enjoyed their size.

It seems the whole affair was caused by misunderstandings. We need work on communication skills, including me, and maybe some of these horrible things could be avoided...

As to the tape, Holder was right. Too soon and it's evidence.
