There were two separate officers. This robbery does not relate to the initial contact between the officer and Michael Brown. The initial can tact between the officer and mr. Brown was not related to the robbery. Why did he stop Michael Brown . Because they were walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic. That was it.

We do not know when that ruling will come but it could come at any time. Theres a lot going on, theres a lot worth watching. We start tonight with isis. The sunni militant group in iraq and in syria that the u. S. Government says were now at war with. Isis has now released a new video that is not another beheading video, thank god, but it is plainly aimed at an american audience. Its 52 seconds long. It appears to be a trailer for a longer video of some kind, but we dont know that for sure. What they have released is this 52 seconds worth of propaganda video. It is propaganda, but in terms of its news worthiness, it is worth seeing because it shows what theyre capable of in terms of their skill in producing a message about themselves but also gives some information about what strategically they are trying to get americans to feel.

Last night when you had shots fired on the police, last night when you had their command center charged by hundreds of folks in a violent manner and they were able to stave off that without firing at these folks, without getting hit, you know, these are trained folks.
