Would just like to caveat that it doesn't matter if he had smoked weed 10 minutes prior. Weed does not, regardless of how much smoked, make you violent... rather the opposite.

Your bias is just as obvious.
And I get it now, you can nitpick post's but we are not allowed to do the same back. Good to know.

But Brown looked pretty frisky a few minutes before he got shot.
The store video shows he appears to be a little "hopped up" if you ask me.

If it was laced with PCP or something, it might. My go-to LEO that I ask questions of says they act bat sh*t crazy and their pain thresh hold is off the charts.
Excellent point, as well. And, PCP is not a quick test done on urine or blood, it us one of the longterm screens that will be in the 4-6 week result group.

Here's the thing, you have Michael Brown delivered as a drugged up thug that attacked a police officer and you have all along.
Most people disagreeing with you are disagreeing with you specifically because of that, at least I am.
Let's say you are correct about everything but leave assaulting the officer off the table. Everything you present is character assassination, and does not in anyway justify the cop shooting Brown to death. Do we really want to condone cops being judge, jury and executioner? I may be wrong but I don't think you want that anymore than any other American does.
The only thing that justifies the cops use of lethal force is if Brown assaulted or was about to assault him. That's it. Now speaking for myself, because I have done a lot of reading about police use of excessive force, unjustified lethal force, civil rights violations... and little to no oversight or repercussions for doing so. I also see the increasing militarization of police forces across the entire United States and I see that as a threat to my liberty and all Americans. I also saw how this particular PD handled the aftermath... Brown's body in the street for hours then loaded into an SUV? Really? The absolute 100% lack of interviewing witnesses on the scene or anytime after. It reeks of cover-up, to me.
You seem to need the man to be a thug, you seem to accept any source (nurse on FB, really?) that supports what you want the story to be. Me? If it turns out the man assaulted the officer or was about to, so be it... still sad but everyone has the right to defend themselves.

Did we not go through this in another thread with one other poster who used this same wapo article as proof of a toxicology report ? This is what I was talking about in saying that stuff like this is what causes stories to become convoluted.
I will say it again, in case it gets lost in the kerfuffle.
This tox report has been confirmed as true and correct by multiple sources now, including Johnson's attorney, several other officials, including an ME that was interviewed, and Ben Crump. It is now treated as fact.
