Now that a grand jury spoke and officer Wilson is not charged with any crime, now that some in the city of Ferguson refuse to respect the jury's decision, can we take a moment to remember what really started all this? Take a moment to remember why officer Wilson was looking for Michael Brown to begin with? Here's a refresher course.

This is the store surveillance video of when Michael Brown, the huge hulking figure at 6 foot 4 and nearly 300 pounds, is seen committing a strong armed robbery. He's just stolen a bunch of cigars, the store clerk is in front of him then to the side trying to stop Brown as he exits the store, telling Brown he has to pay for those. Pick up this video at about 1:15 and see for yourself, as Michael Brown shoves the store owner backwards by his throat or chest, then menaces him for several steps before leaving the store with the stolen merchandise. This was not an innocent victim. This crime was the reason officer Wilson told the grand jury he was looking for Michael Brown to begin with. The aggression by Michael Brown seen in this video perfectly matches the aggression described by officer Wilson when he testified to the grand jury. I have no reason to doubt him.
