I have read many reports about this story. There are conflicting stories, from the police and from the people v the police.

The stories from the police range from "he jumped from the bushes" and began a struggle with the officer, to he ran up a hill and started shooting at the officer. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/2014/10/09/the-louis-shooting-michael-brown-all-over-again/yRBAonyY59Zf1XtgUJBAqK/story.html

I don't know the layout of St Louis. Is it possible to have been in the places the officer claims Myers was after leaving the store? So he left the store, ended up however far it was from the store to where he was first sighted by the officer, then being chased in a vehicle then on foot only to end up back at the store all in 10 minutes time?

How is it these kids ran after the vehicle did a uturn but they fled after an attempted "pedestrian check." And what caused this supposed "pedestrian check" if they were just walking down the street?

How convenient is it that the gun found was one that was reported stolen? But how do you mix up the type of gun? I am not at all familiar with guns. I couldn't tell you the name of any gun by sight. But I am not a police officer. It was first identified as a Ruger then as a Smith & Wesson. Are they that similar they could be mistaken for each other? http://m.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/teen-died-from-gunshot-to-right-cheek-medical-examiner-says/article_2d5a8c2a-97db-5cec-a477-1130d7d26f7e.html?mobile_touch=true

Some witnesses say Myers was tased. Police say the police officer in question was not issued a taser. First off, why not? And that doesn't mean he didn't purchase one on his own or he wasn't issued one by the security company. A company that has had complaints against it for use of force. A company that has its website down.

The Chief has stated that they have the bullet and trajectory of the shots already studied. But they still don't have the gun powder tests from the victim. This is the easiest, fastest test available. How can an autopsy already be completed and gun trajectory done a day ago but no gun powder residue test completed? Don't forget, this is the same guy who, before knowing there was a video of the murder of Kajieme Powell, said that Powell was wielding the knife overhead at the officers.

Why was an off duty officer, working for a private security firm, wearing his uniform for a police department?

I have so many questions. There are too many inconsistencies. At this point, I don't know I will believe anything that comes from the police.

I'm seriously asking. I would love an answer to any of this. Especially the gun and the area.
