Why didn't the store owners just come right out and say he paid when they made the statement that they didn't report it to police? That statement sounded more like a plea for their store to not get hit again than anything vindicating Mike. And why would his homeboy tell multiple authorities that they took the rellos if he paid?

When The Media Treats White Suspects And Killers Better Than Black Victims
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5673291
On the afternoon of Aug. 9, a police officer*fatally shot an unarmed, black teenager, Michael Brown,*in Ferguson, Missouri. Details remain in dispute.Eyewitnesses have said*that Brown was compliant with police and was shot while he had his hands up. Police maintain that the 18-year-old had assaulted an officer and was reaching for the officer's gun. One thing clear, however, is that Brown's death follows a disturbingly common trend of black men being killed, often while unarmed and at the hands of police officers, security guards and vigilantes.
After news of Brown's death broke, media-watchers carefully followed the narratives that news outlets began crafting about the teenager and the incident that claimed his life. Wary of the*controversy surrounding the media's depiction of Trayvon Martin*-- the Florida teen killed in a high-profile case that led to the acquittal of neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman -- people on Twitter wondered, "If they gunned me down, which picture would they use?" Using the*hashtag #IfTheyGunnedMeDown, users postedside-by-side photos, demonstrating the power that news outlets wield in portraying victims based on images they select.
On Monday,*Twitter user LordSWVP tweeted out a photo*(picture above) driving home another point: Media treatment of black victims is often harsher than it is of whites suspected of crimes, including murder.
This is by no means standard media protocol, but it happens frequently, deliberately or not. News reports often headline claims from police or other officials that appear unsympathetic or dismissive of black victims. Other times, the headlines seem to suggest that black victims are to blame for their own deaths, engaging in what critics sometimes allege is a form of character assassination. When contrasted with media portrayal of white suspects and accused murderers, the differences are more striking. News outlets often choose to run headlines that exhibit an air of disbelief at an alleged white killer's supposed actions. Sometimes, they appear to go out of their way to boost the suspect's character, carrying quotes from relatives or acquaintances that often paint even alleged murderers in a positive light.
Here are a few examples:
WHITE SUSPECT
That's how the*Lubbock Avalanche-Journal chose to present*the story of Amy Bishop, a former college professor who eventually*pleaded guilty*to killing three colleagues and wounding three others at a faculty meeting in 2010.
BLACK VICTIM
And*that's the headline AL.com ran*about the shooting death of a 25-year-old black man in Alabama earlier this year.
WHITE SUSPECT
This is how the*Staten Island Advance covered*the case of Eric Bellucci, a mentally ill New York man who allegedly killed his parents.
BLACK VICTIM
Meanwhile,*NBC News ran this headline*during ongoing coverage of the Trayvon Martin killing.
WHITE SUSPECT
This*Fox News headline*quoted friends shocked that 15-year-old Jared Michael Padgett had entered his high school heavily armed and killed a classmate, injured a teacher and took his own life.
BLACK VICTIM
But in Florida,*this headline in the Ledger*focused on a police account that made the death of a black 19-year-old seem somehow expected, or at least unsurprising
WHITE SUSPECT
In the wake of the mass shooting in Santa Barbara, California, earlier this year, the*Whittier Daily News offered a headline*showing one man's disbelief that Elliot Rodger could have committed such a crime.
BLACK VICTIM
Earlier this month, the*New York Daily News ran this headline, carrying comments by the Ohio attorney general that appeared to defend police after*killing a black man at a Walmart.
WHITE SUSPECT
This was the*headline given to an Associated Press story at Mlive.com*about an Ohio teen who later pleaded guilty to a school shooting in which three students were killed and two were wounded.
BLACK VICTIM
But when an unarmed father of two was killed by a police officer while entering a vehicle that contained his own children, the*Los Angeles Times served up this claim*from officials.
WHITE SUSPECT
In 2008, 18-year-old Ryan Schallenberger was accused of plotting to bomb his South Carolina high school. Ohio'sChronicle Telegram wanted readers to know*that he was a straight-A student, running an AP story with this headline.
BLACK VICTIM
And*according to the Omaha World-Herald, this is what you needed to know about Julius B. Vaughn, a 19-year-old gunned down in Omaha last year:
WHITE SUSPECT
Kerri Ann Heffernan was charged in 2012 in a string of bank robberies and stores.*This headline at Wicked Localwonders how she'd come so far from her days as a smart high school student.
BLACK VICTIM
Of 22-year-old black man Deon Sanders' killing in Ohio earlier this year,*WKBN's headline*said "gang member," and that apparently was enough.
I’m just out here working hard every single day, just trying to be the best poster I can be....
Been fighting this ever since the invention of the printing press.
Da realest.
Sooo, so sweet!sweet high grade ether
Yeah, that Presidency is no joke. It's a wonder they live as long as they do after leaving office.
This is where it begins...money counts more than votes, bottom line.
*shots fired*
My whole mind is f*cked up of this. I need some alone time...
WHEW, a lot of truth is this post HERE!
I knew it. I believe it, but it is still like, "do these mofo's have a radio or television?" jesus!
Playa inept white males in positions they should not be in is nothing new...
Binghamton, NY. End of story.
Very!
David Banner explained it so eloquently, in so few words.
I see you "get" it...WE ARE AMAZING (black people)...
WE HAVE NATURAL SPIRITUAL POWER, WANT PEACE AND TO BE LEFT ALONE.
Which draws others to us AND why Ferguson can be peaceful with each other without Cac police.
Everyone in this thread who posted with serious concern about what was going on over there can TAKE A BOW...
Not many of us are there, but we did what we could to raise the energy level and strength of those that are through FOCUS.
OUR "Boots on the Ground" CHANNELED IT and stood in the face of the beast and defeated it against all the corruption and odds...
They called on our collective strength to focus and to ring the bells of Karma for Justice as they stood in the beast's face...
We rang the bells, and spiritually AMPLIFIED THE SIGNAL through our FOCUS on this shit...
Not just us but others this shit resonated with...
This is OLD AFRICAN SCIENCE IN ACTION... Shit that Cacs with tanks CAN'T UNDERSTAND...
Take a bow BGOL, you helped to draw those reporters in (whether you know it or not)...
I remember this.
Playa, I have first hand experience. Nothing happened worth reporting, but my store is anomaly...let me just make that CLEAR!
NUTTIN' but rookies that have NO IDEA what they are doing!
This Brit NAILED it!
Let's be clear, he's not wrong.
However, that is an internal/community issue that does not need to be shared with whites.
Hold the line for what they do which ultimately allows, or better yet, has created an environment for us to kill each other in inordinate numbers.
I get him, but he cooned out in his spotlight.
BOOM!!!And this is the foundations of all the discrimination....
in housing....
in employment....
in academics....
in criminal justice...

the store owner has said MULTIPLE TIMES that Brown did NOT rob his store.
his friend NEVER said he did, those reports DID NOT COME FROM HIM or ANY EYEWITNESSES.
you have be DUPED.

proof of the infiltrators:
the Ferguson police DID NOT EVEN KNOW about the alleged robbery until AFTER Brown was shot.
"The Ferguson Market attorney said police did not see the video until after the unarmed teenager, Michael Brown, was shot dead in the street."

Sorry brothers/sisters the information here is moving n being posted SO FAST it's hard to keep up. A real testament to what you all are doing to keep us abreast of the situation there.
I have a question tho. I keep seeing sparsely that there are whites there inciting riots, throwing the petrol bombs, I saw one sister said a white dude just punched her friend while running from tear gas, and that people starting the shit aren't from Ferguson. Is this being reported on a NATIONAL level? Is there evidence of these whites throwing things? Shouting racist slang at the protesters besides that Brandon Dix idiot? I'm gonna try and catch up but if someone can point me to some of these articles it'd be GREATLY appreciated

No, they're painting the narrative in a general manner...allowing the viewer to assume that it's the residents. There's no distinction or coverage of white.
Re: Mike Brown Deserved to Die? Shortly after shooting, Witness backs officer story F
I go to work today and hear a guy discussing this with another co worker and he says well "You know he wasn't going to be shit anyway" I had to say something
So I asked him how did you come to that conclusion. He says look at what he's doing on the video. He's already robbing, how long until he's murdering. I asked him you judging him and what hhe would be at 17. I asked him what was Malcolm X doing at 17 who was he when before he became Malcolm X.

He can't be on this so called black on black crime bullshit when white people,Asians,Hispanics and etc killing within the race also...
Hell,crime in the black community is actually down and while crime in the white community is on the rise and yet nobody wants to talk about it...
And,what makes people's argument even worst is that,when you look at numbers people make it seem like its a 10-30 percent gap on who kills within the community when its only 2 or 3 percent...
Everybody wants to focus on the,aftermath of the problem,but never the root of the problem in the black community...Our main problem is economically...meaning the lack of jobs,housing and job discrimination and etc...What are white people's excuse,for killing each other...
Anyone who brings up the crime in the black community without bringing up crime in the white community already lost the argument..
People act like white people don't commit alot crime...
I would have slap the shit and piss out of her on live TV
Most women have a "let them eat cake mentality"
I keep telling folks they live in a totally different world......
You notice the guy looked at her like ....wtf
thanks, fam........You know I do this for THE PEOPLE!
Marc Lamont Hill from HuffPo tweeted about it, and then mentioned it live on CNN. That's pretty much it tho.
real soon... Depending on how long he stays in ferguson... I think don lemon about to get a private call from....
rotflmmfao
Was thinking about this Saturday..
Let's say what the police are saying is true.
Brown charged towards Wilson once he was shot twice.
Why haven't this been shown yet???
If that's the case the law enforcement agency's are having fun with this shit.
Testing tactics, weapons, crowd control etc...
Let's just say a huge experimental ordeal!!!
It's now like the government haven't test equipment on citizen before.
If you watch Fox news.....that is exactly what most whites think about this situation......
Night and Day man.....

I PRAY THAT YOU ARE CORRECT.
Everyday I look in my sons eyes, I pray that you are correct
Everyday that I'm on the streets and I see little black children playing and not understanding the whole scope of things, I pray that you are correct.
When I look at my mother and think about what she went thru as a little girl I pray that you are correct
When I think about what my grandparents and others there age had to endure, I PRAY THAT YOU ARE CORRECT
I PRAY THAT YOU ARE CORRECT
