Dorian Johnson, figure in Michael Brown case, arrested in St. Louis
Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Dorian Johnson, the man who was with Michael Brown when Brown was fatally shot by a Ferguson police officer last summer, has been arrested on suspicion of drug charges and resisting arrest, a St. Louis police source said Wednesday.
Police released details of an incident involving three men taken into custody after officers were called to the 5700 block of Acme Avenue at 3:21 p.m. Wednesday by someone reporting a large group of subjects who were possibly armed with firearms.
The police report did not name Johnson, but a police source who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that the incident involved Johnson and two of his brothers. Johnson allegedly had a cough medication mixed with what police believe to be an illegal narcotic on him.
The report said that as the officers who went to the scene dispersed the crowd, they noticed that one man had a bulge in his clothes that they suspected might be a weapon. A second man grabbed the arm of the officer who attempted to pat the first man down. The officer then attempted to detain the second man.

vs
...officers who went to the scene dispersed the crowd
AND THEN: ...they noticed that one man had a bulge in his clothes that they suspected might be a weapon.
So:
1) did someone call reporting a possible weapon or did the officers notice a possible weapon?
2) since when is 3 brothers a large "group of subjects"?
3) why would they disperse 3 brothers?
I think the whole deal stinks.

(160,648 posts)If you want to take a kick at this young black man, it would be appropriate if you produced the evidence which confirms your accusations.
Then you might be able to have persuaded other people to look down on him, too.

(12,778 posts)Theft and lying to the police. This has been common knowledge for some time. Stating a fact is hardly taking a kick at someone.

(160,648 posts)One episode, and lying to get out of the jam. What would you recommend, the firing squad?
We all know what it means when someone pounces on any opportunity to try to influence people's view of minority race human beings.
This young man is not a hardened criminal, despite your effort to tell everyone he is. We can read, we all knew about him long ago, had we been interested in getting "the goods" on him.

(12,778 posts)Whether or not he is a hardened criminal, he does in fact have a criminal record. Is mentioning that verboten for some reason?

(13,877 posts)summer. Cell Phones. Body/helmet cams...just the cost of arresting and incarcerating a black man would probably pay for one, counting all the "professional" time involved.
Maybe that's the next GoFundMe Project ... The group of non-profits who have barely caught their breath from the last incident.
