How big is this town?
It does not sound like corruption as much as ineptitude.
What is the evidence that Brown was murdered?
I don't get why this incident is....anything but then I don't look at race as something to judge someone by.
If this incident is not proof that liberal ideals are bigoted I really do not know what else can be said.
I am beyond belief that this is not clear cut.

I can't suggest they were using FEMA training because I have no idea what that is.
What I observed was the police using tear gas to disperse these particular reporters and camera people in the video because, as one officers voice said, "we don't want you here."
While the officers were engaged in the community at that time with what was described as armored SUV's, and military equipment, garnered from the fed as is the case for most states executive branch/police force, and tactics.
If what we were witnessing in many of the videos related to Ferguson and the police action were considered "FEMA style tactics", I'm not aware of that. I've never heard media make a reference to that type of tactical position being demonstrated by police there.

I'd heard he claimed the young man broke his eye socket as he punched the officer through the window of his cruiser.
Even still, had he been injured, as cops often are on the job, he's not entitled to drive himself away from the scene where he just dropped a civilian by firing 6 bullets into him.
And with an alleged broken eye socket, his driving would be compromised due to vision impairment, and of course shock.
That's why a cop is also to remain at the scene after calling for backup and assistance. So that an ambulance can be dispatched to attend the injured, including himself, and others who may be in need of help.
But this officer apparently not only left the scene, but never called in the shooting. While dispatch, recorded and posted on YouTube by someone presumably with a police radio, is heard talking about this officers shooting encounter because they heard about it on the news. Not via his call in to dispatch to report he'd just shot an 18 year old dead in the street of Ferguson.
Apparently the cops that did respond to the body of Mr.Brown were called there by the residents. There is a cell phone video on You Tube that shows Mr.Brown dead in the street after the fact.
There isn't an officer anywhere close to him as far as a vehicle that would have been the officer in question remaining at the scene. It's graphic due to the body of Mr.Brown being fully visible, not pixeled out as in other videos on YT. And due to the graphic language of residents who were either live witnesses to the actual shooting, or arrived shortly after the fact.
You can find it and view it at your discretion by going to YouTube and searching for the video title: phone video of Michael Brown shooting
It's horrible to see him laying there like that. I know he's dead but I even felt compelled to help him from the other side of this monitor. To see someone like that, blood running from the top of their head and down the street, and cops are keeping his uncle away, a man you'll see in a black shirt trying to get to Michael, before a cop runs and stops him. While Mr.Brown's mother, who is wearing scrubs and is seen on the grass across from her son, is also being held back by neighbors and police due to her son's dead body now being part of a crime scene. It's heartbreaking. And there is no weapon anywhere to be seen near his body.

In the video that is more fully available in this interview, it appears Michael Brown did commit the strong armed robbery that he was alleged to have committed prior to the shooting. We can see where he shoves a man who's trying to either block the store's door or lock it as Mr.Brown is attempting to depart with the items in his hands.
Had he had a weapon it wouldn't have been a 'strong armed' robbery. And, of course, we would see a weapon in the video.
However, this doesn't justify 6 shots in an 18 year old man who's inner arms are shot up in the autopsy diagram created by Dr.Badden, who was the independent coroner brought into this case by Mr.Brown's family.
Shots that lead me to believe the bullets struck the inner arm area's of Mr. Brown due to his arms being raised at the time of impact. Which would then explain the shot in the eye on that same side, as well as the abrasions to his face and neck on the same side, the right side, wherein he took the bullets to the arm. And of course there's the shot to the top of the head. Which is impossible if someone is shooting him from a distance. But very well could occur when standing over the suspect/Mr.Brown and shooting directly down into his skull.
Dr.Badden said had it not been for the head shots, Mr.Brown could have survived the other injuries.
