Thats pretty much BS. I saw the press conference. Even the reporters questioned the timing of the release of the video. They had asked for it long before. I know common sense isnt so common but a police chief should know what the results of his actions. He also decided to keep it a secret from the other law agencies including the one keeping the peace. This has nothing to do with decent Black people. This has more to do with the element that were going to loot. He knew that it would provide a diversion. You fell for it.
I don't care about the timing. The video shows that Brown was not the innocent that many are claiming. It directly refutes the notion that he is to be held guiltless in the entire incident.
It serves to provide information to those who are protesting (you note that I do not say the looters, because their agenda is not about justice for Brown) to perhaps stop and think about what it is they are protesting. Are they going to continue to protest in the face of evidence that their 'victim' may not be a victim at all, but just another petty thief who lacked the brains to move out of the center of the road when directed to by a cop, RIGHT AFTER ROBBING A STORE!
BS? No, I don't think so, nor do I care if you do think it is BS.
Everything regarding this is speculation at the moment and race baiters will look just as bad after as they do now.
