Smear Campaign Follows Release Of Michael Brown Killer’s Name

"Police on Friday said that Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown last weekend, confronted Brown after the teenager was identified as the main suspect in a convenience store robbery that occurred Saturday morning.

However, hours later, authorities said that the robbery was not the reason for the encounter that ended with Brown shot to death on a suburban St. Louis street, suggesting that it was unrelated to the confrontation.

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, who took no questions at a news conference Friday morning, described Wilson as a six-year veteran with no disciplinary record. Wilson was publicly identified for the first time Friday following many complaints from residents that the police had not named him.“* Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), John Iadarola (TYT University) and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down.
