While a grey shirt, khaki shorts & a St. Louis hat is probably fairly common clothing for that area, the striped socks kinda stand out.
So it looks like Officer Darren Wilson had the right guy, but decided to murder him instead of arresting him. Something about this still smells though. Why did the 2nd suspect (Darian Johnson?) not get arrested or even interviewed? Why did it take a week to produce this video evidence?
I see you failed to mention the struggled between Mike and Darren. When a man with quick fists meets and strikes a man with a gun, the man with the gun generally makes quick work of the man with the fists..
Cop, no cop, a bully, is a bully, is a bully. What unchecked bullies often fail to understand, is their is always someone out there who is more aggressive than they are and is willing to meet force with force and quickly escalate, faster than what the one who uses his first to get is way can manage.
Who goes into a store and pushes some old man or woman around for a box of swisher sweets? Then who hits/beats a cop afterward as if the cop is in the wrong here?
Looking back does the guy with the very poor judgement deserve to die because he maybe woke up on the wrong side of the bed and didn't have money for his smokes? Probably not. But again we do not have the full story yet.
Look at how your arguement has changed from before you know mike brown was a robbery suspect to now... How much more would it change is the officer is able to reveal some more evidence that shows mike to be more than some poor honor student who was to start collage that was wrongly profiled.
