Otis Byrd was the guy found in Mississippi hanging from a tree. The media machine was initially thrilled at the thought of a black victim hanged in Mississippi…. Oh the stories they were ready to sell. Alas, the initial DOJ investigation showed he committed suicide – rats!

(Via Clarion Ledger) The Byrd family’s attorney has enlisted Dr. Michael Baden, who conducted an autopsy on Michael Brown, to do an independent investigation into Otis Byrd’s hanging death.

The family of a man found hanging from a tree in March does not believe he committed suicide, they announced through their legal counsel Wednesday afternoon.

Otis Byrd, 54, was found March 19 hanging by a bed sheet from a tree not far from his residence in Claiborne County after having been missing for over two weeks. Local authorities called in the FBI after finding his body.

Authorities have said evidence doesn’t suggest foul play, but the results of an autopsy have not been made public. The FBI says it has discussed the autopsy results with the family but the family’s attorneys, Sweet and Associates, disagrees. (more…)

North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey and Police Chief Eddie Driggers gave a press conference today in the shooting of Walter Scott. The local audience was very angry, and protesters interrupted the questioning frequently.

• The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has now taken over the investigation. • Police Chief Driggers stated that no other police officer other than the shooting officer Michael Slager witnessed the immediate event. • Officer Slager has been fired and arrested on a murder charge.  • Officer Slager’s wife is 8 months pregnant.

• Mayor Keith Summey stated that immediately body cameras would be ordered and initiated for use on all police officers.   • Both Summey and Driggers, together with a Chaplain met with the family of the victim Walter Scott this morning. • Mayor Summey states there is more video than has been made public.  • Coroner reports Walter Scott received multiple gunshot wounds to his back – cause of death ‘homicide’.

All of the usual media suspects -those who advocate for a specific narrative- are working the story diligently as they begin the process of fueling anger in the local community and push a larger victim narrative into the national coverage.  The arrival of outside agitators should be anticipated within the next 12 to 24 hours.  (more…)

In an irony befitting only a rabid President Obama supporter, the USPS is releasing a stamp to honor Maya Angelou. The only problem is the quote accompanying the image of Mrs. Angelou is not actually hers – it’s a fraud.

The stamp features the quote: “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” Apparently the USPS was trying to highlight a 1969 book authored by Angelou titled “I know why the caged bird sings“.

But the actual quote does not belong to Angelou. The quotation on the stamp is from “A Cup of Sun”, a 1967 poetry collection by children’s author Joan Walsh Anglund. When Anglund was contacted by the Washington Post she admitted the quotation was actually from her own writing, and not from Maya Angelou. (more…)

~ This Shooting Appears To Be Everything The Mike Brown Shooting Was Not ~

♦ The Victim’s name is Walter Scott. ♦ He was shot on April 4th by a South Carolina Police officer. ♦ There is a video of the shooting taken by an eye witness – SEE VIDEO HERE (also embedded below) ♦ Arguably without the video the police officer would not have been arrested. ♦ The Police officer, through his attorney, previously said he followed proper procedure. ♦ The video reflects the police lied.

(BACKSTORY) On APRIL 5TH NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — The attorney for a North Charleston police officer who shot a 50-year-old man during a confrontation at a traffic stop Saturday says his client believes he followed proper procedure.

The incident began about 9:30 a.m. Saturday when Officer Michael Slager, 33, pulled 50-year-old Walter Scott over for a broken tail light at the corner of Remount and Craig roads.

Police and witnesses say Scott tried to run from Slager before turning to fight for the officer’s Taser. It was during that scuffle that the officer fired his service weapon, fatally wounding Scott.

According to an incident report, officers heard Slager say over the radio that he had deployed his Taser and “seconds later” he said “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser.”

Attorney David Aylor released a statement Monday that reiterated the police report. (link)

Then the eye witness video was released by the victims family which entirely disputes the substance and construct of the police report. The Police Officer, Michael Slager (33), will be charged with murder. (more…)

Media video report includes a private dashcam video of DinDu Shooter.

If the admitted culprit was a white male it’s doubtful there would be any reluctance. The media would normally be tearing the university administration apart based on tips from the same students who exposed the prankster.  Earlier: 

“The Duke People of Color Caucus released a statement saying that the Duke campus is “not a safe place.”” (Wednesday)

Anonymity would never survive the crushing media mob, unless….

(Via CNS News) An undergraduate student at Duke University admitted to hanging a noose in a tree and has left campus while disciplinary actions are considered, university officials said Thursday.

School spokesman Michael Schoenfeld said at a news conference that the school would not release the name of the student who admitted to hanging the noose, found early Wednesday in a plaza at the heart of the campus. The person is still enrolled at Duke, but faces student conduct and law enforcement investigations.

The student was identified with information provided by other students and will be subject to Duke’s student conduct process, Schoenfeld said. An investigation is continuing to find out if others were involved.

School officials believe federal education laws protecting information about students and their grades prevent the school from describing the culprit’s gender, race or whether the student had been in trouble in the past, Schoenfeld said. (more…)

1.) Jeffrey Williams was caught on video in a fight outside the police station. 2.) Williams’ car was recorded driving to the location where the shots were fired 27 seconds before gunfire erupted. 3.) Prior to his arrest Jeffrey Williams gave details of how he carried out the shooting during a recorded admission to a police informant. 4.) The police found the gun with him during the arrest.

And now – Jeffrey Williams has admitted his guilt during a recorded statement at the jail.

Saint Louis […] KMOV-TV first obtained audio of several of Williams’ phone conversations from at the St. Louis County Justice Center. St. Louis County Justice Services Director Herbert Bernsen confirmed the audio is from calls made by Williams and provided The Associated Press with the sound files.

It wasn’t clear to whom Williams was speaking. In one call, Williams said he was having trouble with a group of people, prompting an exchange of gunfire.

“Nobody aiming at no police,” Williams says. “I ran up the hill and he (an unidentified person) shot at the car. … I shot back,” Williams said.

In another conversation, Williams expressed concern about a possible lengthy prison sentence. (more…)

The story of Anthony Stokes didn’t start the day he died after crashing a stolen car into a pedestrian and sign post.

Nor did his story start moments earlier when he kicked down the door of an elderly Roswell Georgia woman and shot at her as she sat on the couch during his home invasion.

The public story of Anthony Stokes actually began a few years prior, in 2013, when he was diagnosed with an enlarged heart, a terminal condition if he did not receive a heart transplant.

He became a public story because Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston informed his family he would not be a candidate for transplant because of his past behavior:

“the decision was made that Anthony is currently not a transplant candidate due to having a history of non-compliance, which is one of our center’s contraindications to listing for heart transplant.”

“Non-compliance” a relatively disingenuous term without further definition; and in the case of Anthony Stokes a definition fraught with considerations for the most politically correct delivery.

The refusal of the hospital to place Stokes on the transplant list drew the ire of his family, who, quickly enlisted the aid of the grievance marketers within the media.

“They just don’t want to give him a chance,” Anthony’s mother, Melencia Hamilton, told Channel 2.

It worked. (more…)

We have been following this unbelievable story, turned criminal case, for several years.

July 2011 Story –  March 2013 Update –  March 2015 Update  

It should have been the biggest national educational story of 2011/2012. Alas, it was swept under the rug due to political correctness and pressure.  Why?

Because in 2009 President Obama’s Education Department named Atlanta’s Beverly Hall “School Superintendent of The Year”, the educational equivalent of the Nobel Prize. (more…)

She should be embarrassed, but she won’t be.  Her dope carrying son (Marijuana, Ritalin, Hash, etc.) encountered the nicest LAPD officer you could ever image.  Kid was seriously lucky.  I mean seriously lucky….

Taraji P. Henson is an actress who appears on a show called “Empire”. She tried to capitalize on the Martese Johnson narrative , “F**kThePolice”, through the use of her son’s interaction with police in California.

Racial profiling is VERY REAL!!! It has happened to me but to my son more and he is only 20!!! Something needs to be done. #SERIOUSLY

— Taraji P. Henson (@tarajiphenson) January 5, 2015

Earlier last week she claimed in a media interview with Uptown Magazine her son was racially profiled by police and abused.

Ms. Henson stated her son was not safe at any college that was not black and she would be sending him to Howard University because it wasn’t safe for a young black man around non-black college campus police officers.

…..“My child has been racially profiled. He was in Glendale, California and did exactly everything the cops told him to do, including letting them illegally search his car. It was bogus because they didn’t give him the ticket for what he was pulled over for.” […] “I’m not paying $50K so I can’t sleep at night wondering is this the night my son is getting racially profiled on campus.”  (link)

However, it appears Ms. Henson and her son are just another couple of race baiting liars.  BIG LIARS.   Thankfully the police had dash camera footage: (more…)
