Ferguson police muddy the legalities in the shooting of Michael Brown
by Joan McCarter
Ferguson police have raised a new issue in the killing of Michael Brown on August 9. With Friday's press conference focusing on a strong-arm robbery of a convenience store, they have implicitly tried to shift the story to whether the shooter—Officer Darren Wilson—was justified in shooting Brown to death. That is the primary question in the investigation now being conduced by the St. Louis County Police Department at the request of the Ferguson police. Dara Lind details the legal issues at Vox.
