Police state reached

[Danzig]

and now i see this in an updated article:

Police Chief Thomas Jackson said the officer did not know the teen was a robbery suspect at the time of the shooting and stopped Michael Brown and a companion "because they were walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic."


this is turning into a larger mess every moment. of course there's no telling now if this is a result of the press rushing to get stories out and leaving out details or what. because they certainly made it seem earlier that the cop was responding to a robbery, and now they're saying he wasn't.
was the press wrong, or the cops?
