    but Michael Brown may have paid for those blunts.

    Regardless, it's all character assassination and irrelevant to the shooting and occupying jackboot army response to the protests.  But wouldn't it be something if the authorities just made that bullsh*t up?

    How, then, did police get the tape? According to St. Louis News, the attorney said, "`during the course of Ferguson's investigation, the police department from Ferguson, came to the store and asked for to review the tape." In other words, the tape was not viewed by police until after Michael Brown was dead in the street.

    Is sort of important.

    Decision to bring or not bring charges.  If he say he will not things will explode.  That could be why the National guard arrived.

    A grand jury will begin an investigation of the police shooting death of Ferguson, Missouri, teenager Michael Brown tomorrow, said Ed Magee, a spokesman for St. Louis County prosecuting attorney.
