As predicted: The “Mike Brown Effect” Comes To Memphis Tennessee – A white male is jumped in the parking lot of a grocery store. Two store employees try to stop the beating. Video shows the cheering crowd chasing and then gleefully beating and kicking the employees. A young black female videotaped the assault while gleefully proclaiming “they got a white dude.” This beating took place Saturday September 6th – Reverse the races and Don Lemon/Anderson Cooper/Sonni Hostin would be airing 24/7….. […] According to police, three white people were jumped by a large group of teenagers who were chanting “fam mob.” The black group, who came from CiCi’s Pizza, reportedly attacked a 25-year-old white customer as he left his car to enter Kroger.
Two white employees, ages 17 and 18, were attacked while trying to stop the fight. Both were “struck several times in the head and face while being knocked to the ground”. The victims say large pumpkins were thrown at their heads. They both were eventually knocked unconscious. (more…)
I said it two weeks ago, and I’ll say it again, Parks and Crump are trolling for a “DeeDee”. The only thing blocking them from executing that page of the playbook is optics. Well, us, and the optics of their insufferably predictable history. Saint Louis – Among the claims that ignited the fury over the fatal shooting of Michael Brown were that Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson chased the unarmed teen on foot, shot at him as he ran away, then fired a barrage of fatal shots after Brown had turned around with his hands up.
Almost all of the witnesses who shared these accounts with media either knew Brown; lived at or near the Canfield Green apartments, where the shooting occurred; or were visiting friends or relatives there.

But there were two outsiders who happened to be working outside at the apartment complex on Aug. 9 — two men from a company in Jefferson County — who heard a single gunshot, looked up from their work and witnessed the shooting.

Many people do not fully comprehend the scope of how critical this question is.
The post shooting events of the Big Mike Brown incident might just be one of the most captured timeframes in social media history. Virtually half of the community who walked out their front door recorded some aspect of the shooting. In addition to being a reflection of the new social media impact – those recordings can be key pieces of a puzzle.
By now everyone should be familiar with what we have labeled the “Black Canseco” video. [Again, the name is merely an identifier for the video recording, it does not signify anything beyond a convenient label].
This image is a panoramic view of the position where the Black Canseco recording took place. (click to enlarge)
And for a cognitive refresh here’s the video:
This video is a key element because it holds significant research value. We know the body of Big Mike Brown was covered at 12:17pm, so we are able to identify the start time of this video 10 minutes earlier, or around 12:07pm. A mere 5 minutes after the shooting itself which was at 12:02pm. (more…)
NEW YORK – Councilwoman Anastasia Robertson left the City Council meeting Thursday night as a police union leader accused her of inciting a crowd against two police officers Saturday.
“You can’t talk about public safety and assist in public unrest,” Sgt. Thomas Hoffman, president of the Troy Police Benevolent Association, said in calling for the city Ethics Commission to investigate Robertson.
The situation came as the North Central and Lansingburgh neighborhoods in Robertson’s 2nd Council District have been rocked by shootings. (more…)
[…] After being arrested, Hayes told police he was upset by the Trayvon Martin case and beat the man up because he was white, Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said, citing court records. . . . (link)
Perhaps the most famous, well, almost famous, of those 2012 incidents was when approximately 100 black teens attacked two white reporters from the Virginia Pilot news organization. The 911 calls from the screaming victims recorded the background voices of the attackers yelling “this is for Trayvon” as the two reporters were pulled from their cars and the beating began. However, The Federal Dept of Justice stepped in to stop the release of the 911 recordings. Attorney General Eric Holder used the auspices and power of the civil rights division, the Community Relations Service, to stop the public release. It took nine months of public records requests, finally we were told only the “edited” versions of those 911 calls would be released. The Civil Rights/CRS edits removed the race-driven chants. Their justification for the content removed: “The best interests of the community were served by the edited content”. So, HERE WE GO AGAIN…..
Missouri – The video appears to show several men run up behind a male and female in an alley and begin assaulting them for about 30 seconds. The attackers appear focused on the male victim, hitting him from behind and kicking at his head and punching him as he fights back. The woman is also hit and thrown to the ground as she turns and tries to help the man. (more…)

The distance between the vehicle and body was calculated as 632 pixels corresponding to the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides of 509 pixels and 375 pixels. On the distance key given by Google at the bottom right of the satellite view 104pixels corresponds to 20 feetyielding 121.5 feet from Officer Wilson police vehicle to Brown’s body.

(Via Breitbart) It took the Washington Post 2,017 words and 59 paragraphs in a feature about Dorian Johnson, who initially said that his friend Michael Brown was shot in the back, to reveal that the federal government’s autopsy also reportedly did not find that to be the case.
As the Post noted in its profile of Dorian Johnson, Brown’s “body had been autopsied three times — once each by St. Louis County police, a pathologist hired by Brown’s family and federal authorities. All found that Brown had been shot at least six times, including twice in the head but not in the back.” The New York Times reported two weeks ago that the autopsy that the Brown family commissioned determined “that all the bullets were fired into his front.”
Johnson had initially told the media that Brown was struck in the back, giving rise the to the “hands up, don’t shoot” movement. Other witnesses, though, have indicated that Brown may have punched officer Darren Wilson, discharged his gun, and then charged at him again before the fatal shots. (more…)
Finding the location of Dorian Johnson mere minutes after the shooting of “Big Mike” Brown has profound implications toward understanding the events that took place when Officer Darren Wilson shot “Big Mike” Brown in Ferguson Missouri.
Initially during our research we identified Dorian in the Northwestern quadrant of the Canfield apartment complex nearby the three witnesses who made the New York Media circuit: Tiffany Mitchell, Piaget Crenshaw and Michael Brady.
This quadrant was where most of the broadcast media footage was taken during the immediate aftermath to the shooting. This was also where Dorian, Tiffany and Piaget gave their initial media interviews with the guidance of activist, Anthony Shahid, and Mike Brown cousin, Calvin Ewings.
Finding Dorian amid this crowd helped us to understand the origin of the “Hands Up” narrative. But that initial Dorian interview was an hour after the shooting – with a considerable crowd around, and after a second phase police perimeter was established.
However, Treeper LJP has identified a much earlier position of Dorian Johnson which is vitally important to understanding other pieces of the puzzle.
Much earlier pieces. (more…)
Wow. This article appears to be framing Dorian as a poor fellow caught up in something, well, just horrible….. The parallel universe is strong on this one. You decide. FERGUSON, Mo. — Dorian Johnson had just moved from his mother’s house in St. Louis to a two-bedroom spot in the Canfield Green Apartments that he was sharing with his then-pregnant girlfriend and another roommate.
Sometime in March, a buddy stopped by with a stranger.
“Wow,” Johnson said, “that’s a big dude.”
The dude, Michael Brown, was 6-foot-4, and he had brushed past Johnson with barely a hello as he headed to the video-game console and began to play.
“I asked, ‘Why he don’t speak?’ ” Johnson recalled in a 90-minute interview with The Washington Post last week — his first interview since federal authorities questioned him shortly after the shooting, his attorneys said.
“He don’t like to talk to people,” the buddy said.
“He’s in my house, he’s going to talk to me,” Johnson replied — then he engaged Brown. Johnson soon had the answer to his own question. (more…)
Initially we thought the item identified at the base of the drivers door was brass shell casings as a consequence of Officer Darren Wilson discharging his firearm while under assault by Mike Brown. (click to enlarge) We were wrong. HatTip to Treeper LTC8K6 – According to his own statements and media testimony, accomplice Dorian Johnson said he was not involved in the physical confrontation at the SUV of officer Darren Wilson.
Additionally, in his various statements, witness Michael Brady had placed Dorian at the passenger side of the SUV approximately 5 feet from the front bumper. But Brady readily admits he did not see the origination of the struggle, only the part where it got really loud, captured his attention, and he peered through his apartment window to witness Mike Brown punching Officer Darren Wilson through his SUV window. Dorian Johnson has repeatedly claimed he was not involved in assaulting Officer Wilson. Johnson blamed Mike Brown for the violence that occurred at the vehicle.
Logically this seemed to make sense because obviously when presented with two subjects officer Wilson identified Mike Brown as the greater of the two threats, and did not pursue Dorian – Wilson’s focus was on Big Mike Brown.
However, evidence now suggests that both Mike Brown AND Dorian Johnson were involved physically at the SUV in the initial struggle with Darren Wilson. (more…)
