As you read this MSNBC article please remember two critical things:

#1) It is authored by Trymaine Lee. A RABID and self-avowed media member of the Professional Black Grievance Industry.

#2) It is written by the aforementioned antagonist/racist about the activity of the structural NAACP political body.  The “higher brow” of the BGI.

It’s the equivalent to Sunni Apologist Recep Erdogan writing about the Islamic State and saying some Muslims deserve support. (*Hint* he would not be talking of Kurdish Muslims) 
In short, neither Trymaine Lee, nor the NAACP would assist any black person who was speaking honest witness toward a pro-Wilson narrative.  THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.  Blacks that support Wilson are ostracized enemies of the BGI, and called horrible names far worse than Uncle Tom.  So keep that in mind.
Ergo, when Lee’s MSNBC article is framing a narrative about a wounded witness, or a potentially wounded witness, he’s talking about, and protecting the group of, media witnesses who have positioned themselves in the camp of liars.
The six witnesses who are being financially assisted by the NAACP are NOT six black witnesses who would have spoken honestly about the incident and events.  No, he’s writing about NAACP support for the SIX false witnesses previously outlined.  Crenshaw, Mitchell, Johnson, Seltzer, etc.
(MSNBC) As a brash young generation has emerged to play a critical role in the dramatically expanded protests in support of slain black teenager Michael Brown Jr. — at times denouncing traditional black community leaders — the NAACP played a quiet role as go-between for witnesses, elected officials and the police.
The St. Louis chapter of the group says it has relocated some fearful witnesses, helped others make ends meet in the wake of losing jobs during the fallout from the teen’s death, and is raising funds to further shield witnesses whose full identities and testimony could be released if a grand jury decides not to indict the police officer who shot and killed Brown.
“Many of them are scared out of their minds,” Adolphus Pruitt, president of the NAACP’s St. Louis Branch told msnbc on Monday. “These witnesses, we are the ones who’ve been protecting them. They are not in the federal witness protection program, they are with the NAACP protection program.”
St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch said his office will make public all evidence seen by the grand jury if it decides not to indict Ferguson, Missouri police Officer Darren Wilson in Brown’s shooting death on Aug. 9. McCulloch said he expects the jury to return a decision by mid-November.
In recent weeks there have been a number of leaks that seem favorable to Wilson’s assertions that Brown was the aggressor the day he shot the unarmed, black teen and that he did so after Brown reached for Wilson’s weapon.
Pruitt said the NAACP has paid for housing and transportation cost of witnesses, some of whom are elderly and others who have lost work because of how complicated their lives have become in the fallout from the teen’s death.
“We are getting geared up for the possibility of an indictment or non-indictment,” Pruitt said. “If they are saying that they are going to release all of their testimony, all the things they said to the grand jury, their names, addresses, will be out there. You’re going to have some young black kids who think they didn’t testify strong enough against the cop. Or have them going back to their jobs and have to deal with white people who might think they didn’t testify enough support for Darren Wilson.”
“We have protected them as much as possible on the front end,” Pruitt said. “And now we’re figuring out how to protect them on the back end. Because some of them live in the complex [where Brown was shot and killed] and are elderly.”  (read more)
