Ferguson, Mo. Police Chief Thomas Jackson on Friday identified Officer Darren Wilson as the cop who fatally shot unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown last weekend.
Jackson said Wilson had been with the force for six years and had no prior disciplinary action taken against him.
Wilson was responding to a report of a “strong-arm robbery” when he encountered Brown, Jackson said, and the officer was treated Saturday for injuries he sustained in the incident.

There, was that so hard?
Well he did have to throw in a robbery that had nothing to do with the shooting
Charges should be laid NOW.
I’m sure they’ll somehow connect two black males involved in the robbery to the reason that Michael Brown and his friends were stopped.
Because, hey, they all look alike to Ferguson cops.
And frankly, I wonder how long it took them to come up with that “robbery” story.
I watched Lawrence O’Donnell last night. He interviewed a witness to the shooting. A very articulate young woman who was picking up an employee on that street when the shooting took place. She watched most of it. Her version supports the stories told by the other two witnesses.
Maybe Jackson will be able to successfully cover for Wilson, but Wilson would be wise to mortgage his house and hire the best criminal defense lawyer he can find.
