This takes the Ferguson cake.   Buried inside a catch-up story by the LA Times, who are missing out on the Mike Brown shooting scoops, is a trail that leads to the Feds providing details of the investigation to an editor of The Saint Louis American, Chris King. The Saint Louis American is African American News-Media. (Similar to The Grio)  
King refuses to use the sourced information (about the factual evidence in the case) because his audience is black and the evidence does not support Mike Brown.  In essence he feared the audience backlash, ie. “coward”.
Chris King is white, his wife black and his audience primarily African American.  Obviously the investigation details he was privy to (a month ago) all support Officer Darren Wilson and therefore would not please his audience.  You might also enjoy reading his twitter feed since he’s been called out.  He is redefining what it means to be obtuse with denials and avoidance.  
Secondly, note how the “Federal Sources” for the LA Times are “unnamed”; despite the fact they claim to be quoting a “spokeswoman” they don’t provide a name as such.  That’s because this supposed anxiety from the feds is faux-outrage.  The feds, or more specifically the DOJ/CRS are the ones providing the leaks.  Also important, notice too the example they use for what upsets them.  It is not the current leaks and releases, but rather the previous release of the Ferguson Liquor Mart CCTV from Ferguson PD.

“Justice Department condemns Ferguson leaks as effort to influence opinion”

(LA Times) With a grand jury decision looming on whether a white police officer should face charges in the killing of an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo., the investigation has sprung a few leaks.. (more…)

Key Takeaways:

…”sources said blood spatter evidence shows that Brown was heading toward the officer during their face-off, but analysis of the evidence did not reveal how fast Brown was moving”…

…”Seven or eight African American eyewitnesses have provided testimony consistent with Wilson’s account, but none of them have spoken publicly out of fear for their safety”…

As expected the next media outlet to release details focuses on the witnesses.

LEAK 1.) The New York Times focused on the “evidence” and federal (DOJ) interpretation of what it means. LEAK 2.) The Saint Louis Dispatch gave Wilson’s account and how that evidence supported the contentions. LEAK 3.) The official autopsy of Mike Brown and the alignment with forensic evidence and Wilson’s account.


Now, today… LEAK #4)  Seven to Eight black eye-witnesses in Canfield Greens Apartment complex who saw what happened and spoke to the Grand Jury and corroborated Wilson’s version. Those eye-witnesses are fearful because of the BLACK MOB who would retaliate for telling the truth. (more…)

♦ NEW – Official Mike Brown autopsy supports Wilson’s Version of events. (LINK)

The official autopsy on Michael Brown shows that he was shot in the hand at close range, according to an analysis of the findings by two experts not involved directly in the case.
The accompanying toxicology report shows he had been using marijuana.  (link)

•  Officer Darren Wilson pushed into vehicle by Mike Brown. •  A Struggle ensued. •  Two shots fired inside vehicle. •  One bullet striking the hand of Mike Brown. •  Blood from right arm wound on interior door, uniform and officers weapon. • Gun powder residue also on hands of Mike Brown. • Attorney for Dorian Johnson admits DJ lied to media.

• One bullet strikes near window of adjacent apartment building. • Hat and one shoe located on South side of police SUV. • Second shoe located approximately 10-15′ East. • Officer Wilson chases Mike Brown. • Both travel approximately 100′ from SUV. • Brown stops, turns, makes aggressive statement. • Brown charges Wilson. • Ten additional shots fired at approaching Mike Brown. • Five bullets strike Brown. • Total of 12 shots fired.

The strategic and authorized retreat goes from a slow backing away to a fast trot.
All of the “leaks” are federally approved releases. Just like the New York Times federal story leak (release) a few days ago, this local leak is carefully timed to release the internal community pressure.
The DOJ-CRS “peacekeepers” are the approvers for the releases of information. The DOJ – Community Relations Service (Grande Lum) is setting up the community for the “no-bill” grand jury decision and simultaneously trying to avoid riots.
The Wilson Version (Saint Louis) […] After he finished with a call for a sick baby, Wilson said, he spotted Brown and his friend, Dorian Johnson, walking down the middle of Canfield Drive, with traffic passing on both sides.
Wilson asked or ordered the men to move to the sidewalk, said the source, who did not want to be identified because a St. Louis County grand jury and the Department of Justice are still investigating.
Johnson pointed out the pair’s destination, over and behind Wilson’s marked police Chevrolet Tahoe SUV, and kept walking.
Brown walked by holding cigarillos in his hand, and cursed Wilson, the source said. (more…)

For people who have watched this “new-normal” process play out before the footprints of retreat are obvious. For others this might be their first experience.

From the outset of the Mike Brown shooting there has existed a familiar pattern, an inauthentic pattern. Eventually the nature of constructed falsehoods reach a point where: a.) the usefulness expires, and, b,) the empirical facts belay the claims.

The concentric circles of hatred flow out as a natural outcome of dropping a divisive rock into a pool of ideology.  The ripple effects flow out, often with unintended consequences and all too often out of control.
The problem with intended division is that it’s sometimes difficult to contain. Protests can quickly become riots, looting, long-term anger, flag burning and worse.
Author Jack Cashill aptly used a phrase “transparently innocent” to describe a new Obama era useful victim.
Historically, useful victims have always been transparently guilty people who the left could defend.   However, in the modern Obama era – a useful victim is innocent of the accusations, transparently so, but must be made to look guilty for the left to advance a goal of division. (more…)

The retreat continues…. Hopefully everyone is noticing the DOJ phased approach. Remember the federal DOJ/CRS is in charge of the activity on the ground in Ferguson and Saint Louis. All strategic arrests come pre-approved and fully supported.
FERGUSON, MO (KTVI) – State senator Jamilah Nasheed has been arrested Monday night in Ferguson.

It’s understandable the family of Mike Brown doesn’t fully digest who and why information is leaking to the media from inside the “federal” investigation.  The CRS is working on an exit strategy – to the family, the prior DOJ alignment is a challenging reconciliation against the backdrop of the DOJ/CRS walk-back. 
This perspective is confirmed today by the former Police Chief:

FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOX) – Information about the Michael Brown fatal police shooting is starting to leak out, and former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch says it’s no accident the feds are allowing the information.

A New York Times article indicates, according to federal investigators, there was a struggle that led up to the fatal police shooting of Brown.

Fitch calls the information from the investigation coming out as phase two – to “coordinate leaks to the media, and to start getting some of the facts out there to kind of let people down slowly,” he says. “When I say this is phase two – phase one was really Eric Holder’s announcement how they were going to basically do a complete review and take over the Ferguson Police Department.” (more…)

The #Ferguson protesters are embarrassingly pathetic – yet they appear not to even notice they have devolved into a parody unto themselves.

Saint Louis – Rams fans and Ferguson protesters fought Sunday afternoon outside the Edward Jones Dome after the Rams secured a victory over the visiting Seattle Seahawks, the defending Super Bowl Champions.
At around 3 p.m. a handful of fans argued with protesters, who were yelling and chanting, near the intersection of North Broadway and Cole streets.

The yelling escalated, a fan appeared to spit on one of the protesters and he was then struck on the head, at which point a melee ensued and punches were thrown. (more…)

On October 8th the black grievance industry (BGI) helped the Ferguson protestors coordinate the Occupy SLU movement at Saint Louis University. SLU is a private catholic university. Yesterday the occupiers packed up and left. Today the motives and agenda becomes clear.
The BGI extorted the school to give race-based concessions including payoffs for black students, scholarships, black studies programs and additional aid for black students only. Apparently, the school president, Fred P. Pestello, Ph.D., acquiesced:

In exchange for meeting the extortion demands the Occupy movement would leave the school campus – but the school, not the occupiers, would have to clean up their mess.
The school president Fred P Pestello wrote this explanation: (more…)
