#1 How’d he get from there to there?

#2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck – cause he was like over the truck
{crosstalk}

#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him
{crosstalk}

#2 Then the next thing I know he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him –

#1. Oh, the police got his gun

#2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him
{crosstalk}

#2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing

#1 The Police?

#2 The Police shot him

#1 Police?

#2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled something about “he took it from him”)

Rev. Al:

First of all, let me tell the media, the tape I saw -- they talkin' about they got a tape of this great robbery -- I saw a tape of some young guy that may have been shoplifting; there's a difference between robbin' and shopliftin'.

But the issue is not whether he shoplifted, the issue is not what he did before, the issue is how a young man with no deadly threat, no life extenuating circumstances, was shot multiple times.

That's the issue. And that's the issue America's got to deal with.

We don't want no double talkin'. We don't want no backslidin'.

We wanna know where justice is!

You're supposed to clean up quotes. That's sports journalism 101.

 

I am you. I will protect you, I will protect your right to protest.

 

That's because he didn't take up the sport until late.

 

Walmart just got a great idea. Arm the greeters. That'll stop shoplifters.

 

Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol gave a riveting speech earlier today at a rally to call for justice for Michael Brown, held at Ferguson, Missouri's Greater Grace Church. In the speech, Johnson pledges solidarity with the community and calls for Michael's memory to help the world become a better place. "We all oughtta be thanking the Browns for Michael, because Michael's gonna make it better for our sons, so they can be better black men," he says.
