Police Release Bare-Bones Reports On The Michael Brown Shooting

Local police have now released two incident reports on the Michael Brown shooting, which media and advocates have been pressing for since the Aug. 9 shooting in Ferguson, Mo.

The St. Louis County police, which has been the lead investigative agency, released their report Wednesday, according the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri. The Ferguson police released their report Thursday. But both have redactions, the ACLU said, and they contain almost no information that was not already public.

The ACLU called on local authorities "to begin building public trust and the first step is to release a complete copy of the incident report.”

A grand jury has begun hearing evidence on the shooting, and the Justice Department is pursuing its own investigation of the shooting of Brown, 18, by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson earlier this month.

The released police incident report is dated ten days after #MichaelBrown was shot and killed.

As Lawrence predicted, no incident report
St. Louis County prosecutors office confirmed that Ferguson PD didn’t file a report after the shooting death of Michael Brown. Our panel joins Lawrence.

I don't understand - what is this document floating around the web? This is not the official report?

BTW, no idea as to who this source is - but saw the post after poking around on some previous discussions. Don't shoot the messenger.

... those "police" depts. are just begging for it. Every single thing they do and say is meant to instigate a riot. They. Want. A. Riot. They wanted a riot LAST FRIDAY, when they released that video of Michael Brown BEFORE they announced the NAME OF THE POLICE OFFICER WHO HAD KILLED HIM.

I am just so incredibly confused here. It appears as if the Ferguson PD is trying to loophole their way through a murder case. How are their not laws preventing manipulation of press and tainting jury pool like this? Outrageous.

they'll go the way of SecretNinjaMysteryGhostCop Wilson's last job in Jennings, MO, and get shut down for corruption.
