If an announcement happens we will link to the official press conference as soon as it becomes publicly available.

However, as previously discussed the structure for a release of information will take considerable “staging” in advance – so while there may be official movements which indicate something soon, it could be they groups are only noticing the advanced efforts.
Personally I think the entire LEO apparatus was originally planning for tonight, but have adjusted prior operational windows and will wait until Sat, Sun or Monday.  Drawing benefit from a SEVERE weather event –A Polar vortex– which will settle in Tuesday and Wednesday.

With the election in the rear view the probability calendar for the Saint Louis Grand Jury decision is now at the apex and will remain there for the next two weekends.

The Grand Jury decision is anticipated either this weekend or next, with the highest probability being this weekend preceding Veterans Day Tuesday November 11th.   For those unfamiliar with the pre-planning here’s what to expect and what to look for?
First, it’s important to remember the broad stroke strategy was roughly planned out in August with the details filling in along the way.  You really didn’t think that civil war CMH award yesterday was just some random calendar pick did you?
Most of the references you’ll see in the media will mention the Department of Justice or DOJ, however it’s also important to draw a distinction between the DOJ and the actual agency being discussed, the “Community Relations Service”, or CRS, which is within the DOJ. (more…)

A young white man and student of University of Missouri Saint Louis named Chris Schaefer attended a meeting of Ferguson protestors at St. Mark’s church.   The church acts as a safe house for the organizing protestors.
Apparently while there, Mr. Schaefer began recording the meeting; or at least he was perceived to be recording the meeting.  The mob, who ironically demand all police wear body cameras, did not like the thought of their meeting being recorded – so they attacked him.

He finally escaped the horde, and while being chased screaming down the road, he made it to a local Walgreens where he ran inside and begged for help.  The police were called and an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital.  (more…)

A critical element in training the “Safari Park Rules” is teaching the game wardens how to avoid their instincts when around predators.

FERGUSON • The Department of Justice announced Thursday that it is hosting a training session through Friday about fair and impartial policing for commanders of local departments, including Ferguson’s.
The effort is part of the Justice Department’s Collaborative Reform Initiative within the St. Louis County police that started after Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown in August.
President Barack Obama then asked Attorney General Eric Holder to send the agency’s Community Oriented Policing Services director, Ron Davis, to work with police officials in Ferguson.
The two-day training includes command-level law enforcement leadership from St. Louis County, St. Louis, the Missouri Highway Patrol and Ferguson police, as well as local community members. (more…)

Reminder: This was all well planned out to happen months ago. Now they are in execution mode.  President Obama and Eric Holder are publishing/broadcasting the rules for the Safari Park.

Exponentially occurring, and not-so-subtle, upticks indicate a soon to be announced Grand Jury decision.  Remember the first group President Obama met with on Wednesday after the election?  Remember Fred P Pestello?  Well, now we have AG Holder proclaiming:

[…]   Holder called Pestello’s leadership, “nothing short of exemplary” in his managing of the Occupy SLU protest (link)

Saint Louis Today –  U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has offered high praise to St. Louis University President Fred Pestello, commending him for his handling of last month’s Occupy SLU protest.

In a letter delivered to the university late last month, Holder called Pestello’s leadership, “nothing short of exemplary” in his managing of the Occupy SLU protest.

Occupy SLU was an outgrowth of wider protests of police shootings that have taken hold in the area since the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. (more…)
