The following article is in the New York Post.  It merely scratches the surface on the factual inaccuracies around the Mike Brown shooting, but it’s worth a read:

New York Post –  The bitter irony of the Michael Brown case is that if he had actually put his hands up and said don’t shoot, he would almost certainly be alive today.

His family would have been spared an unspeakable loss, and Ferguson, Mo., wouldn’t have experienced multiple bouts of rioting, including the torching of at least a dozen businesses the night it was announced that Officer Darren Wilson wouldn’t be charged with a crime.
Instead, the credible evidence suggests that Michael Brown — after a petty act of robbery at a local business — attacked Wilson when the officer stopped him on the street. Brown punched Wilson when the officer was still in his patrol car and attempted to take his gun from him. (more…)

As part of the document release of witness testimony to the Saint Louis Grand Jury one of the more absurd media constructs takes the spotlight.

You will recall in late August and early September, CNN began broadcasting “explosive evidence” in the Mike Brown shooting.  Their chosen narrative surrounded a video they “obtained” showing two construction workers who were in the Canfield Greens Apartment complex on the day of the shooting.

CNN framed the construction workers as eye-witnesses proof positive for the “Hands Up” narrative.  However, now the truth comes out.
As detailed in part of a Saint Louis Post-Dispatch report today the insufferable disconnect from reality surfaces:

[…]  A landscape worker who lives in Jefferson County gave grand jurors one of the oddest accounts of the moments leading up to Brown’s death. The man had appeared in widely broadcast video in which he is wearing a pink shirt and gesturing to police that Brown’s hands were up.

The man said he encountered Brown that morning. He was trying to cut through some tree roots and cursing at the difficulties of the job. Brown told him that Jesus would help him with his anger problem.

A few minutes later, the man said, he heard gunshots. He looked up and saw Brown running. He said three officers were chasing Brown, but only one of them was shooting. Brown appeared to have been shot as he fled, the worker said. Then Brown turned around, put his hands up and started yelling “OK.”

“And within a couple of seconds the three officers came up, and one just pulled up and shot him,” the worker said.

No other witness described three officers present at the shooting. (link)

Now you can see how ridiculous the entire narrative of the construction worker witnesses were. But hey, CNN couldn’t let those pesky facts get in the way of their opportunity to gain a broadcast audience.  They ran with this ridiculous story for weeks on their continuous news cycle coverage of the Mike Brown shooting.

According to Saint Louis Prosecutor, Robert McCulloch, the Grand Jury was given ALL the evidence, including all of the witness statements during their investigative inquiry.
McCulloch went out of his way to state local investigators and the FBI shared ALL of their information/evidence during their investigation into the Mike Brown shooting.
Additionally, McCulloch went one step further and stated that ALL of the witness statements, recorded and transcribed, would be open for media review.

OK, so where’s this one? (more…)

DeAndre Joshua, 20, fits the social profile of an eye-witness who gave a police/FBI statement and testified before the Grand Jury in the Mike Brown shooting case.   He was an employed black male, with no history of drug use or illicit behavior. He was also a friend of Dorian Johnson who is currently under protection.

Obviously, as you can see, Dorian is freaking out right now.  

Several of the eye-witnesses, who gave honest testimony to the Grand Jury, were, according to their own statements, warned immediately after the shooting to keep their mouths shut.   All of the eye-witnesses were African American.  If you read the reports the sense of fear about speaking the truth is overwhelming.  

Many, if not all, of the witness statements outlined in police reports, FBI reports, and later in Grand Jury testimony -who testified to the factual events as outlined by officer Wilson, and whose testimony fit the physical and forensic evidence- were threatened by the local Canfield Greens community.

(Via Daily Mail) A man has died during the Ferguson riots just yards from where Michael Brown was shot dead.  Residents on Canfield Drive said that DeAndre Joshua, 20, was shot whilst in his car though police at the scene refused to confirm any details.

DeAndre’s grandmother Renita Towns said that ‘somebody killed him’ during the carnage. (more…)

I didn’t see the press conference, was McSpadden and Louis Head there to chant “burn this bitch down” again?
SAINT LOUIS – MSNBC host Al Sharpton slammed Wednesday the prosecution’s handling of the grand jury. “I’ve never seen a prosecutor hold a press conference to discredit the victim,” he said during a Brown family press conference.

Sharpton described the prosecution’s decision to release the grand jury’s decision at 8 pm as “irresponsible” and “provocative.”
He also said that he and other civil rights leaders have called an emergency meeting in Washington, D.C. next week to discuss boycotts, marches and demonstrations.
Sharpton likened the follow-up to the case to Rodney King.
“Before you think this is over, remember what happened in Rodney King,” he said, vowing not to give up in the face of a defeat in the legal system.  (read more)

Despite the prior claims by Democrat Governor Nixon, Democrat Chief Executive Dooley and Democrat Saint Louis Mayor Slay, the surrounding towns of Ferguson and Dellwood erupted in flames. Arson and looting were widespread and destructive.  Apparently the “unified command” was neither “unified” nor in “command”.

Democrat Mayor James Knowles says he was begging for help. His pleas were unanswered.

In the meantime the “protest leadership” were complaining for the past week that the National Guard was called up for duty. Now those same voices are screaming mad that the National Guard was not activated and protecting their local businesses as they were looted and burned.

Before getting to the Dorian Johnson aspect I just want to highlight something Prosecutor McCulloch stated in his press conference:

The Grand Jury watched all the media interviews of witnesses prior to hearing their ‘in person’ grand jury testimony.

In my opinion this simple fact is what was so devastating to Dorian Johnson, Piaget Crenshaw and Tiffany Mitchell.  They simply lied to the media.  This is also why the media is standing jaw agape trying to reconcile the Grand Jury outcome.
One of the more interesting elements noted by the physical evidence, and DNA testing, relates to confirming the Dorian Johnson bracelet we first identified back in August.
When Dorian was aiding Mike Brown robbing the Liquor Mart, we noted the CCTV showed him with a yellow or gold bracelet on his right wrist.

Later, as we identified him in interviews, that bracelet was missing.  We scoured through video, published media pictures, and we found it at the car. (more…)

Understanding The Origin Of The Mike Brown Narrative

When we first began digging in to the Mike Brown story something odd was immediately identifiable. The individual witness statements, when compared over time, were case studies in the evolution of self-contradiction.
But why ?
It’s generally a true statement that eye witnesses testimonials can often be unreliable; but the statements of the Canfield Greens apartment complex who immediately hit the New York media circuit were beyond unreliable – they were actually contradicting themselves from show to show, often within hours.
A little research into the shooting aftermath and things began to fall into place.

The primary witnesses used to create what we’ll call ‘the media narrative’ were and are: Dorian Johnson, Piaget Crenshaw, and Tiffany Mitchell.
A few days later another witness, Michael Brady, surfaced. However, Brady didn’t exactly follow the same script – and we soon discovered why. (more…)
