Harf, Let me clear it up for you.
The White House leaked it.
Why ? Because they were petrified of the political optics of contrast. The Obama administration had just used the excuse, “by any means possible” to trade the release of the Gitmo5 terrorists for Private Bergdahl. The White House understood the optic of an American hostage being killed as retaliation for military strikes against ISIL as a risk of the newly created Obama reality – negotiating with terrorists.
The White House leaked the rescue effort in a feeble attempt to show they did try something.

So the White house compromised a covert operation for political cover and gain. It’s how the McDonough team work. The only risk they worry about is the political risk of how it makes them look. All politics all the time. Period.

(Via WeaselZippers) The Columbia (MO) Daily Tribune is getting criticized for running this Gary McCoy syndicated cartoon on Wednesday, next to a Rich Lowry column headlined “Overly aggressive police are being provoked.”

Liberals are going Moonbat Crazy claiming racism.
Personally I would love for a cartoonist to just “cartoonify” a real picture (below) and put it on their front page. (more…)

(HatTipGWP) Two supporters of Officer Darren Wilson walked down the same street as the protestors demanding his sacrifice:

(Sign on left: “Vigorous Prosecution Jay Nixon ?? Justice is For Everybody Even P.O Wilson“)  (Sign on Right:  “Justice for Police Officer Wilson“)
Things got sketchy.   They had to be rescued from the mob. (more…)

A false narrative is a quick assembly but horridly slow in the deconstruction.

More evidence comes out to support Officer Darren Wilson’s contention that Mike Brown punched him in the vehicle and a struggle for the officer’s gun ensued.   Medical reports reflect Officer Wilson suffered a broken orbital socket  (eye), and was treated at a local hospital for his injuries.

Police sources tell me more than a dozen witnesses have corroborated cop's version of events in shooting #Ferguson

This provides more affirmation toward the officers version of events.   In addition a local reporter has claimed 12 eye witnesses support Officer Wilson’s version, along with the audio we discovered of a detached eye witness, with no vested interest, speaking off camera and describing the officer supported scenario.
In addition we also know the federal autopsy is complete:

TIME […]  FBI agents have successfully canvassed the area around the shooting scene for witnesses and are sharing what they’ve learned with St. Louis County investigators, said Richard G. Callahan, U.S Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri. An autopsy by a top U.S. military forensic examiner was completed on Monday and “physical evidence is being analyzed.”

There are no plans, however, to make details of the investigation public before the information is presented to a St. Louis County grand jury—a process that will take weeks or months. Callahan acknowledged the tension between the needs of investigators and the demands of the media and protesters.  (continue reading)

Every once in a while serendipity strikes the background.

Check out the cardboard sign carried by a group of protestors being interviewed by Anderson Cooper:

“You’ve Killed Our Kind 4 Years But Won’t Sacrifice 1 Cop For Justice & To Save A Community & These Businesses”

Somebody tell me exactly how you open dialogue with that mindset ?

Just like clockwork, (and right on schedule!), social media was exploited to leverage the cash shakedown which is the raison d’être of the Crump con.  As in the Martin case, multiple and conflicting fundraising accounts have been quickly set up, all allegedly for the “benefit” of the Brown family:

As in the Martin case – Crump seeks to retain all control of any cash that flows from this “event”.   The information posted on the GoFundMe site set up by someone claiming to be a member of Crump’s law firm staff states, “These funds will assist his family with costs that they will acquire…” (such as, paying us and our entourage!)
The site claims to have raised (as of the writing of this post), $72, 163 by 3,125 donors in 4 days.  A quick survey shows that the math doesn’t add up, but it is important to show wide-spread support for the “cause” of “seeking justice” for Mike Brown.  However, much to the anger of the “Just-Us” crowd, this doesn’t even come close to the amounts that were raised, literally, overnight, by the Support Zimmerman sites.  Similar funding sites to support the family of Officer Wilson have also been set up, but the true purposes behind the GoFundMe sites are as disparate as the versions of the actual events that have been disseminated by the Crump and the PD.

On the first real night of heavy looting and chaos in Ferguson Missouri a Quick Trip convenience store was looted and then burned to the ground.  In sharing why, and explaining the motive, you can grasp an understanding of how the Ferguson “street talk” is driving the chaos.

A personal message to LEO:  If Captain Ron Johnson and/or the authorities in/around Ferguson want to get out ahead of the thug behavior you only need to understand this simple outline and then deploy your digital forensics team – ASAP.

After the Quick Trip was destroyed the following message was spray painted on the side of the building:

But to understand why the Quick Trip quick was chosen you need to listen to this conversation. (more…)

The family of Michael Brown autopsy’s results support Officer Wilson’s version of events, that’s why they were not released in a big “Parks and Crump” press conference.  The original autopsy long complete, they’ve been sitting on this information for almost a week.  The autopsy is consistent with the police officer being charged by Mike Brown.   

The facts of this report also align with the decision for 3rd autopsy which holds two motives:

• #1) Look for more evidence that might help them construct a false narrative.
• And, #2) Provide breathing room for best opportunistic timing for a more extensive funeral service.

FERGUSON, Mo. — Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was killed by a police officer, sparking protests around the nation, was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, a preliminary private autopsy performed on Sunday found.

One of the bullets entered the top of Mr. Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the separate autopsy. It was likely the last of bullets to hit him, he said.

Mr. Brown, 18, was also shot four times in the right arm, he said, adding that all the bullets were fired into his front. (more…)

Based on their inability to control a press conference, the belief that law enforcement can actually enforce a curfew is slightly less than zero.  The entire town is now, well, essentially a free range safari:

Missouri – During a press conference that quickly spiraled out of control Missouri Gov. Nixon declared a state of emergency and set a curfew from midnight to 5 a.m.

The curfew will not be enforced “with tear gas or with tanks,” according to Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol. “We will communicate,” said Johnson.

FBI agents are on the ground working on the investigation, said Nixon. (more…)
