Another major similarity to the Trayvon Martin shooting is the way the pack media attack the Police Chief. In Sanford Florida it was Bill Lee, in Ferguson Missouri it is Thomas Jackson. (more…)
Local police forces utilize military surplus equipment in an effort to keep the violence and mayhem in Ferguson under control. Update: The social media photo posted throughout the blogosphere was not confirmed as the deceased Michael Brown and has been replaced. -ytz
Just as the Trayvon Martin narrative unfolded, as independent bloggers and researchers enthusiastically scour social media a truer, more complete picture of Michael Brown emerges as Sharpton remains on site in an attempt to manage and direct the “narrative”.
Although earning praise from local authorities for his “official” calls for “peace”, Sharpton’s ability to manage the narrative has been called into question by by black and white observers keeping tabs on the ever evolving and fluid situation from outside of the area of conflict. (more…)
While the “Hands Up – Don’t Shoot” Justice looting for Mike Brown diminished overnight in Ferguson Missouri, the extreme elements of the violence continued their activity.
An overnight report via police scanners reflected a drive-by shooting. Early news reports confirm a woman was shot in the head as police called for additional assistance. Four suspects were being sought by police. One suspect was seen handcuffed and being loaded into a police unit.
A guest on the Michael Dyson show (a director of “Africana studies” at Lehigh University), calls the rioting “understandable” and a “red herring”.
The real issue underpinning the Brown shooting is the failure of the “system” and police officers, specifically….
“They can handle the riot and stop the riot and control the riot,” he said dismissively. “But the real question is can we get our criminal justice system, can we get our police departments, to acknowledge the humanity of black and brown folks?”
He goes on to state the police “abused” their power and “terrorized” the community for “hours”.
Of course, the people in those communities are not responsible for the irresponsible choices they make. Oh noes.
Of course, since this is the end game – handcuffing the responses of any law enforcement officer when dealing with a black suspect – it now makes more sense why Sharpton has taken the lead on this and Crumpster is a player in the background. This is much bigger fish than simply overturning “Stand Your Own”. (Read more...)

While it’s still early and independently verifiable information is scarce, compare and contrast to another highly publicized racially charged case involving “an innocent chile’ returning from the store“……
Meanwhile on vacation President Obama stopped short of calling Michael Brown his son, but he did deliver a Presidential Statement on the events: “The death of Michael Brown is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and his community at this very difficult time. As Attorney General Holder has indicated, the Department of Justice is investigating the situation along with local officials, and they will continue to direct resources to the case as needed. I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions, but as details unfold, I urge everyone in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the country, to remember this young man through reflection and understanding. We should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. Along with our prayers, that’s what Michael and his family, and our broader American community, deserve. ~ President Barack Obama 8/12/14
Nothing says social justice like the backdrop of a cloud of teargas against the running silhouette of an impoverished lad clutching a freshly looted flat screen TV.

First, let me clearly state our severe aversion to engaging in following another exhibition of the professional playbook for racial exploitation. However, that said, for those who do choose to follow the path we can outline the expectation. Remember, for Benjamin Crump this is a business proposition – that’s why he was the one to contact Brown’s family:
While details, specific details, of the Ferguson Missouri shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, aka Mike Brown, are unknown; what is exceptionally well known is how the Benjamin Crump team will play out the narrative.
We’ll use the Trayvon Martin historical example to show how it rolls. When you engage the Parks and Crump strategy you can anticipate a specific formula: (more…)
The leftist media are a parody unto themselves when it comes to exploiting any opportunity for racial viewership. Ronan Farrow is the modern cultural icon for a couldn’t-be-more-white pundit to espouse his street thug credibility. He knows him some racism.
Liberalism is fundamentally comical when witnessed. These Farrow-types are the same people who railed against a cheerleader/hunter pictured with a dead lion in Africa – Yet oddly lose their voice when confronted with seven-year-old ISIL jihadist pictured proudly holding a severed human head.
(Via Mediaite) MSNBC host Ronan Farrow understands the enormously disparate scrutiny faced by black men for their public appearance or behavior because his mother, actress Mia Farrow, has an adoptive black son.
During a Monday afternoon segment discussing the police shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, guest Jonathan Capehart suggested that black men have to go extra lengths to ensure their safety in public.
“Don’t run in public,” he said. “Don’t run with anything in your hands. Keep a discreet distance away from white women, lest you get accused of any number of things.” His larger point being that a black male looking and talking a certain way in public could lead to unwanted assumptions or trouble, more so than any other race.
