Ferguson 'victim' has rap sheet, robbed store same morning

[JOHN MATRIX]

Did you hear the Missouri Governor's statement?  Absolutely outrageous.  Calling for a prosecution.  Repeatedly saying there needs to be justice for the kid's family.  Maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear anything about protecting the officer's Constitutional rights.  Talk about a lynch mob environment.  

It is Zimmerman/Martin part deux.

Hes a democrat. Who needs 'evidence' when you have emotion....

Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source

Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”

According to the well-placed source, Wilson was coming off another case in the neighborhood on Aug. 9 when he ordered Michael Brown and his friend Dorain Johnson to stop walking in the middle of the road because they were obstructing traffic. However, the confrontation quickly escalated into physical violence, the source said..

“They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move," the source said. "They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face.

The source claims that there is "solid proof" that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off – although it still remains unclear at this stage who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away according to the account, prompting Wilson to draw his gun and order him to freeze. Brown, the source said, raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, "What, you're going to shoot me?"

At that point, the source told FoxNews.com, the 6 foot, 4 inch, 292-pound Brown charged Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him, including the fatal bullet that penetrated the top of Brown's skull, according to an independent autopsy conducted at the request of Brown's family.

Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket in the fracas, and was left dazed by the initial confrontation, the source said. He is now "traumatized, scared for his life and his family, injured and terrified" that a grand jury, which began hearing evidence on Wednesday, will "make some kind of example out of him," the source said.

The source also said the dashboard and body cameras, which might have recorded crucial evidence, had been ordered by Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, but had only recently arrived and had not yet been deployed.

St. Louis County police, who have taken over the investigation, did not return requests for comment about possible injuries suffered by Wilson.

Edward Magee, spokesman for St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCullough, said the office will not disclose the nature of the evidence it will reveal to a grand jury.

"We'll present every piece of evidence we have, witness statements, et cetera, to the grand jury, and we do not release any evidence or talk about evidence on the case."

Nabil Khattar, CEO of 7Star Industries – which specializes in firearms training for law enforcement and special operations personnel – confirmed that police are typically instructed to use deadly force if in imminent danger of being killed or suffering great bodily injury.

“You may engage a threat with enough force that is reasonably necessary to defend against that danger,” he said.

Wilson is a six-year veteran of the Ferguson police force department, and has no prior disciplinary infringements.

Massive protests have since taken over the St. Louis community, prompting Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon last Thursday to place Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson at the helm of security operations in an effort to calm ongoing tensions. The federal government is also investigating the death, and Attorney General Eric Holder has taken the lead – calling “the selective release of sensitive information” in the case “troubling.”

On Friday, Ferguson police released surveillance video showing Brown stealing cigars from a convenience store just before his death. Jackson came under intense criticism for disclosing the tape and a related police report as he also insisted that the alleged robbery and the encounter with Wilson were unrelated matters. Brown’s family, through their attorney, suggested the tape’s release was a strategic form of “character assassination.”

However, FoxNews.com’s source insisted that there was absolutely no spin agenda behind the tape’s release and that there were a number of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) media requests filed by media outlets seeking it. Tom Jackson is said to have waited on publicly releasing it, and did not want it shown until Brown’s grieving mother first had the chance to see it.

“He defied the FOIAs as long as he could,” noted the insider. “A powerful, ugly spin has completely ruined public discourse on this whole situation.”

I'm not surprised.  If true, officer Wilson is going to have his career and life turned upside down because fools can't control themselves.

True.  He's probably done as a cop in that town.  His life will be in danger, regardless of what the facts show.

The narrative of these idiot protestors will in no way be affected by these new facts 

And the missouri gov who made that idiotic statement should be disgraced.

Figures

The narrative of these idiot protestors will in no way be affected by these new facts 

And the missouri gov who made that idiotic statement should be disgraced.

He's a former State Attorney General, which makes his comments even more outrageous. 

[24KT]

This man has a point, the hooliganism has to stop, however, in his rant, he makes the mistake of painting ALL Black people with the same broad brush, due to his own priviledged status. Priviledge is the failure to recognize a problem, simply because it is a problem that doesn't directly  negatively impact YOU. I'm happy for him that none of his many encounters with police ended negatively, and that he's alive to talk about. i'm sure Eric Garner if he were here today, might have a different take on police encounters. As would Marcus Jeter, the man who was physical assaulted by police AND a 2,000+ pound deadly weapon at the side of the road, and set up for assassination by the cops who were suppose to protect & serve him. When they didn't assassinate him, they instead conspired to wrongfully imprison him on false charges.

The vast majority of peaceful protesters (not only in Ferguson, but around the world) also have a point that a lot of people in this thread are missing completely. No one is glorifying Michael Brown, or vandalism, however his death is a symbol or rallying point from which there is no denying.

The way police conduct themselves these days and particularly aimed at young Black males needs to stop.

Failing to recognize, acknowledge, and address this issue is to be asleep in a state of denial, and it will be an extremely rude awakening when you start to experience what others have been experiencing for decades.

Before when it was only "those other people" experiencing it, you had the luxurious privilege of denying the existence of a problem, ...but slowly, and surely, ...many of you will start to get a small taste of it, ...and you'll lose your minds when you do, ...especially guys like BB (not a dig at BB, just an intuitive premonition)

It's not just Black people who participated in the lawlessness on the streets of Ferguson, and it's not just Black people marching & demonstrating in Ferguson... although American news outlets may give you that impression. When I see footage via US outlets, ...all I see are Black people, and particularly those at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. Footage from International media outlets however, tend to reveal a more encompassing portrait of all the protestors, ...and hooligans. But for some reason, somebody or something wants Americans to believe this is about Black vs. White. It's not. It's about the Police vs. YOU.

Just like any other war with boots on the ground, they take their territory from town to town.

When their MO has been practiced enough & perfected enough, it will only be rolled out to other cities & towns.
Don't delude yourself into thinking you're fine just because they haven't swept into your town... yet.
The guy in the video was right about one thing tho... CHANGE is required of EVERYONE!!!

ps: His commentary echoes that of Louis Farrakhan's during his all day Million Man gathering in DC in 1994





Ferguson Exposes the Reality of Militiarized, Racist Profiling


The killing of Michael Brown by a Ferguson, MO police officer, who was identified Friday as Darren Wilson, and the aftermath in which nonviolent protesters and reporters were met with a violent and militarized police force have exposed something that has been building for years. Many have written about the militarization of the police and the disproportionate impact they have on people of color, but now more Americans are seeing this reality and cannot escape it....

Ferguson, the NRA and the hypocrisy of silence

Why the NRA’s silence in the tear-gas wake of Ferguson, Missouri is so telling

Martin Patriquin
August 14, 2014
 
Demonstrators raise their hands while protesting the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri August 13, 2014. (Mario Anzuoni/Reuters)

On the morning of Feb. 28, 1993, 80 heavily armed agents from the U.S. law enforcement agency Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms stormed a compound in Waco, Texas, in an attempt to serve a search-and-arrest warrant to David Koresh, a 33-year-old preacher and leader of a religious sect. Four agents and six Koresh followers died in the ensuing gun battle. A little less than two months later, similarly armed FBI agents rammed Koresh’s compound with tanks, shooting some 400 canisters of CS gas into it. Seventy-four people, including Koresh and 25 children, died in the ensuing blaze.

The National Rifle Association came out, if you’ll excuse the pun, guns blazing. “If you have a badge, you have the government’s go-ahead to harass, intimidate, even murder law-abiding citizens,” said Wayne Lapierre, then the NRA’s executive vice-president, calling the agents “jack-booted thugs.” Along with the 1992’s Ruby Ridge assault, in which government agents killed the wife and son of white supremacist Randy Weaver, Waco became a stump issue for the NRA.

It’s easy to see why. Both incidents fuelled the group’s reigning paranoia that Americans are forever under threat from well-armed, Kevlar-wearing government commandos. We see the results in the NRA’s ensuing campaign today: weak gun laws, a lack of comprehensive background checks and a hobbling of the ATF itself through budget restrictions and politically motivated laws.

It’s why the NRA’s silence in the tear-gas wake of Ferguson, Mo., is so telling. The four-day police operation following the police shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown has essentially shut down the city of 21,000. The resulting images are a gun-obsessed paranoiac’s nightmare made flesh: Phalanxes of flak-jacketed police officers line the streets, firing tear gas and pointing assault weapons at unarmed citizens, often with tank-like police vehicles behind them. Dozens of people have been arrested, including journalists and municipal politicians, and a media camera crew had its camera forcibly turned off and its equipment torn down. The “jack-booted thugs” haven’t just stormed a private residence or seized a compound—they’ve taken over an entire city.

And yet, there hasn’t been a peep from the NRA about the incident. The Gun Owners of America, the NRA’s even more paranoid offshoot, mentions Missouri only to congratulate citizen gun owners there. Former congressman Ron Paul spends much of his time regaling his flock about big-government abuses when he isn’t giving away assault weapons or asking for money. He, too, has been mum. (A blog post on his website, not written by Paul, decries the “militarization of police,” but chides protestors for not remaining calm.)

This seemingly perfect spectacle for NRA outrage—the shooting of an unarmed man, cops with outsized weapons, mass arrests—is flawed for one reason: Michael Brown was African-American. As such, he doesn’t fit the profile of the typical NRA member and, apparently, doesn’t warrant the group’s paranoid rage it has displayed in the case of Randy Weaver, a known racist who was armed to the teeth at the time of the standoff. The NRA’s lack of rhetoric about Michael Brown, like Trayvon Martin before him, speaks volumes about the group’s other reigning paranoia, this one, race-based.

As an 18-year-old black youth, Brown was less an NRA poster boy for the militarized overindulgences of law enforcement than the unspoken reason why many of its members buy guns in the first place. The NRA is too politically savvy to admit its racial bias; thankfully for us, proud Gun Owners of America member Ron Paul isn’t. “Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 per cent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal,” was but one choice nugget from a series of newsletters carrying Ron Paul’s name from the ’80s and ’90s.

There are pro-gun types who have decried police action in Ferguson. Libertarian blogger Will Grigg wrote brilliantly about how Brown’s killing is both a demonstration of law enforcement’s tendency to use unreasonable force and the “low-grade military occupation” of Ferguson’s black residents. Rand “son of Ron” Paul, meanwhile, called for the immediate demilitarization of police.

Yet the NRA’s silence following the shooting of an unarmed American, and the subsequent police takeover of his town, is louder than hell.

Do you know the statistics on police officer involved shootings?  Do you know the statistics on racial crime?   No, you don't so just quietly back away and don't enter this thread again.  You have no sense of reality and should not  interject yourself into conversations you have no clue about.

Archer, it doesn't work like that. When you ask a question, you are supposed to wait for a response from the person to whom the question has been posed. You don't get to inject your own wishful thinking in, use that as a substitute response.

As for my knowledge of the stats on police officer involved shootings... Yes, there are too many of them.

Look around you... Look at what your country has become. Look at what you're doing both to yourselves at home, and to others abroad. Is this really who you are, ...how you want to live, ...and if you continue on the same path, how you want to be remembered?

Personally, I think America, and Americans are better than that. The only question is do you have the WILL to create the changes necessary while it is still for the most part "somebody else's problem"

There's a cancer in your society, which is convenient & expeditious for many to deny, but like all cancers that metastasize, ...they eventually consume their host.

Hasn't there already been far too much innocent blood shed, ...on all sides?

You have no knowledge about anything.  You make no arguments based on facts. You don't even bother to do research.  You have have no clue about the number of racial crimes or officer shootings.  You live in a fantasy world created by your own paranoia, ignorance and wishful thinking.   You are part of the problem.

[Skip8282]

I don't think the cop mishandled the situation at all.   As for the gun shots, the shots are in distinct groupings.   If four out of five shots clearly entered from the front but one within the grouping may have come from the back but could have come from the front, since all the shots are from the same grouping you must assume the disputed shot did come from the front.

Not the cop who did the shooting, we still don't know how he handled the situation.

I'm talking about the aftermath and now.  Hell just last night there was cop pointing his gun at a reporter telling him that he would fucking kill him and to go fuck himself.

Their entire overly militant behavior has been nothing but deplorable.

[George Whorewell]

"Meanwhile, officer wilson had just returned home from his morning backwoods Klan meeting and was getting ready to go to work. As he groomed his shaved head and redneck moustache in the mirror using his new vintage ww2 era Nazi-issued razor he purchased at last weekend's gun show, he thought to himself 'gee, i cant wait to kill me some neegars today!' as be smiled with anticipation of his days work. He put on his uniform and walked out to his patrol car, admiring the new Confederate flag he had flying from his house. As he got in his patrol car he turned on the radio for his days' orders. The police chief came on the radio: 'ok wilson, i was looking at the numbers and you are behind on this month's quota of innocent black child execution..you need to step it up son! Now go out there and kill some neegars or else!!' This was news to officer wilson's ears! With a big evil grin on his face he set off down the street looking for the first black person he could find..."

As lil Blunt Blunt, Curtis and double G pranced through the streets of Ferguson holding hands, the evil redneck Officer Wilson approached in his police car. Officer Wilson was drunk on homemade moonshine and was in an aggressive mood because he spent the earlier part of the day watching Robocop at the station house. He pulled up to the three "youths" and shouted "Arrite you neeggers, start doing jumping jacks or I'm a gonna shoot". Blunt Blunt, Curtis and double G immediately stopped walking and began doing jumping jacks. After a few seconds, Double G noticed that a lost puppy had wandered into the middle of the street. double G continued doing jumping jacks as he valiantly attempted to rescue the puppy.  At that point, evil Honky Officer Wilson shot the Gentle Giant 6 times while his hands were raised above his head. As he fired, he yelled "Confederacy Forever!" One of the bullet casings that discharged from the gun struck Officer Wilson in the eye. As a result his orbital bone was broken. 

Case Closed.

 

[240 is Back]

The shoot was legal.  Dude beat the cop badly. 

HOWEVER, the new fox news narrative, from an "insider source", said:

The source claims that there is "solid proof" that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off

This total bullshit story - a gun GOING OFF - makes police look like total liars.  Of course, there was solid proof they fought - cop had a broken face.  But the shoot was rapid emptying of 6+ bullets into the man in rapid succession.   Justified.

It was not "the gun went off in a struggle" and I spit on the ignorance of them saying it like that.  Trying to appease the crowd, as it'll peel off 5% of the rioters because they heard something about a gun going off.

Stick by your guns, police department.  Justified shoot.  Cop defending his life.  Nothing else.  No gun "went off in a struggle".  That's horse shit.  Just FOX throwing out more possibilities, different versions of the story.  Bullshit.

[tonymctones]

anybody ever listen to this upstanding citizens version?

He says that brown was shot once in the vehicle, once while running away and then the officer fired 7 more shots as he was over brown while brown was trying to kneel down.

Thats a total of 9 shots fired by his count, brown was hit 6 times one of which was supposedly in the back which never happend. He is saying that the cop missed three times while standing over brown?

this guy is so full of shit

I don't live in a fantasy world. I live in a civilized country where police are not soldiers waging war on the very people they are supposed to protect & serve. I live in a world where the police are members OF the communities they protect & serve. Given the militarization so prevalent and accepted in your country tho, I can see where you would be any non- militarized police siege of society to be nothing but fantasy, ...but it exists.





In fact, not only is their motto "To Protect & Serve", some take it a step further and decide "To Twerk & Serve"

While 6 unprofessional cops in dereliction of their duties were committing manslaughter on Eric Garner in NY, Toronto cops were dancing in the rain alongside revellers at the Beaches Jazz festival, proudly showing off & sharing some of the beauty in his native culture with fellow Torontonians.

An excellent example of what life can be like in  a peaceful, civilized, multi-cultural society, where people actually choose to learn about other realities, and the effective policing of a community isn't conducted like a military occupation of a foreign country.

[tonymctones]

in this video he says the officer walked toward brown after he got out of the vehicle. The video posted earlier says he ran after brown...

Ferguson cops threatening to kill journalists

I just heard from a well connected friend that :

***BREAKING NEWS***
Dorian Johnson has now admitted that Michael Brown attacked

Apparently the police officer is supposedly not going to be charged. This differs from my understanding that the governor has called for a "vigorous prosecution of Darren Wilson"

In any event, whatever they do, charge him or not, ...they really need to handle themselves much better than they have been.
