As predicted: The “Mike Brown Effect” Comes To Memphis Tennessee – A white male is jumped in the parking lot of a grocery store. Two store employees try to stop the beating. Video shows the cheering crowd chasing and then gleefully beating and kicking the employees. A young black female videotaped the assault while gleefully proclaiming “they got a white dude.” This beating took place Saturday September 6th – Reverse the races and Don Lemon/Anderson Cooper/Sonni Hostin would be airing 24/7….. […] According to police, three white people were jumped by a large group of teenagers who were chanting “fam mob.” The black group, who came from CiCi’s Pizza, reportedly attacked a 25-year-old white customer as he left his car to enter Kroger.
Two white employees, ages 17 and 18, were attacked while trying to stop the fight. Both were “struck several times in the head and face while being knocked to the ground”. The victims say large pumpkins were thrown at their heads. They both were eventually knocked unconscious. (more…)
I said it two weeks ago, and I’ll say it again, Parks and Crump are trolling for a “DeeDee”. The only thing blocking them from executing that page of the playbook is optics. Well, us, and the optics of their insufferably predictable history. Saint Louis – Among the claims that ignited the fury over the fatal shooting of Michael Brown were that Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson chased the unarmed teen on foot, shot at him as he ran away, then fired a barrage of fatal shots after Brown had turned around with his hands up.
Almost all of the witnesses who shared these accounts with media either knew Brown; lived at or near the Canfield Green apartments, where the shooting occurred; or were visiting friends or relatives there.

But there were two outsiders who happened to be working outside at the apartment complex on Aug. 9 — two men from a company in Jefferson County — who heard a single gunshot, looked up from their work and witnessed the shooting.

Many people do not fully comprehend the scope of how critical this question is.
The post shooting events of the Big Mike Brown incident might just be one of the most captured timeframes in social media history. Virtually half of the community who walked out their front door recorded some aspect of the shooting. In addition to being a reflection of the new social media impact – those recordings can be key pieces of a puzzle.
By now everyone should be familiar with what we have labeled the “Black Canseco” video. [Again, the name is merely an identifier for the video recording, it does not signify anything beyond a convenient label].
This image is a panoramic view of the position where the Black Canseco recording took place. (click to enlarge)
And for a cognitive refresh here’s the video:
This video is a key element because it holds significant research value. We know the body of Big Mike Brown was covered at 12:17pm, so we are able to identify the start time of this video 10 minutes earlier, or around 12:07pm. A mere 5 minutes after the shooting itself which was at 12:02pm. (more…)
NEW YORK – Councilwoman Anastasia Robertson left the City Council meeting Thursday night as a police union leader accused her of inciting a crowd against two police officers Saturday.
“You can’t talk about public safety and assist in public unrest,” Sgt. Thomas Hoffman, president of the Troy Police Benevolent Association, said in calling for the city Ethics Commission to investigate Robertson.
The situation came as the North Central and Lansingburgh neighborhoods in Robertson’s 2nd Council District have been rocked by shootings. (more…)
[…] After being arrested, Hayes told police he was upset by the Trayvon Martin case and beat the man up because he was white, Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said, citing court records. . . . (link)
Perhaps the most famous, well, almost famous, of those 2012 incidents was when approximately 100 black teens attacked two white reporters from the Virginia Pilot news organization. The 911 calls from the screaming victims recorded the background voices of the attackers yelling “this is for Trayvon” as the two reporters were pulled from their cars and the beating began. However, The Federal Dept of Justice stepped in to stop the release of the 911 recordings. Attorney General Eric Holder used the auspices and power of the civil rights division, the Community Relations Service, to stop the public release. It took nine months of public records requests, finally we were told only the “edited” versions of those 911 calls would be released. The Civil Rights/CRS edits removed the race-driven chants. Their justification for the content removed: “The best interests of the community were served by the edited content”. So, HERE WE GO AGAIN…..
Missouri – The video appears to show several men run up behind a male and female in an alley and begin assaulting them for about 30 seconds. The attackers appear focused on the male victim, hitting him from behind and kicking at his head and punching him as he fights back. The woman is also hit and thrown to the ground as she turns and tries to help the man. (more…)

The distance between the vehicle and body was calculated as 632 pixels corresponding to the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides of 509 pixels and 375 pixels. On the distance key given by Google at the bottom right of the satellite view 104pixels corresponds to 20 feetyielding 121.5 feet from Officer Wilson police vehicle to Brown’s body.

Unfortunately such is the state of current affairs. A prominent Egyptian official is telling his constituency, and the world, the reason Egypt and U.S. relations are so poor is because President Obama and John Kerry demand the Severe Islamists be included in policy decisions. Egypt categorically rejects the considerations of radical Islamic extremism, and will not bow to pressure from the United States to be more accommodating toward the radicals within the Muslim Brotherhood. Fatah el-Sisi is going to be speaking to the U.N. General Assembly in New York on September 25th. I’m thinking that David Cameron and President Obama should be forced to sit in the front row and listen to a real leader who understands the extremist problem.
(EGYPT) Nabil Fahmy, the former Egyptian foreign minister and a previous ambassador to the US, said that relations between Cairo and Washington remain strained because of the US’s insistence of allowing Islamists to participate in the political process.
In an Egyptian television interview on Sunday evening, Fahmy said that “the Americans have not appropriately learned the lesson of dealing with terrorism” and that they “contacted us constantly in order to integrate streams of political Islam into the political process,” the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry al-Youm reported.
He added, however, that Egypt “pursued the will of the people” and did not give in to outside pressure. (more…)
Finding the location of Dorian Johnson mere minutes after the shooting of “Big Mike” Brown has profound implications toward understanding the events that took place when Officer Darren Wilson shot “Big Mike” Brown in Ferguson Missouri.
Initially during our research we identified Dorian in the Northwestern quadrant of the Canfield apartment complex nearby the three witnesses who made the New York Media circuit: Tiffany Mitchell, Piaget Crenshaw and Michael Brady.
This quadrant was where most of the broadcast media footage was taken during the immediate aftermath to the shooting. This was also where Dorian, Tiffany and Piaget gave their initial media interviews with the guidance of activist, Anthony Shahid, and Mike Brown cousin, Calvin Ewings.
Finding Dorian amid this crowd helped us to understand the origin of the “Hands Up” narrative. But that initial Dorian interview was an hour after the shooting – with a considerable crowd around, and after a second phase police perimeter was established.
However, Treeper LJP has identified a much earlier position of Dorian Johnson which is vitally important to understanding other pieces of the puzzle.
Much earlier pieces. (more…)
This has to be the least surprising headline of the summer. It would be far less obvious if the DOJ were just to put out a big neon sign saying:
“We can’t find anything to substantiate the arrest or conviction of Officer Darren Wilson, so in order to appease the professional grievance community, and in an attempt to stop riots and general mayhem, we will announce a program to make the police department jump through PC hoops for the next five years – good enough”?
(Washington Post) Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. this week will launch a broad civil rights investigation into the Ferguson, Mo., Police Department, according to two federal law enforcement officials.
The investigation, which could be announced as early as Thursday afternoon, will be conducted by the Justice Department’s civil rights division and follow a process similar to that used to investigate complaints of profiling and the use of excessive force in other police departments across the country, the officials said.
The move follows the shooting last month of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old African American, by a white Ferguson police officer who claimed he acted in self-defense. Brown, who was unarmed, was shot at least six times on the afternoon of Aug. 9.
Holder’s decision will represent the Obama administration’s most aggressive step to address the Ferguson shooting, which set off days of often-violent clashes between police and demonstrators in the streets of the St. Louis suburb. (more…)
Two weeks ago we tried, and failed, to openly reach out to “researchers” interested in the backstory of the “Big Mike” Brown shooting. Just because the cat had her kittens in the oven, don’t make them biscuits. From personal experience within the concentric circular maze that surrounds such a quest, we suspected, nay assured the outcome. It is significantly important to know what structural and political forces which comprise the cement, which builds the walls, which make the maze. Running head strong into a very specific justice system, while waving a petition for sunlight allowance, will get you, well, nowhere but headed home with a headache. But the wall builders will gladly accept a fee to allow your strike with the hammer – futile though it may be. We did not pull the Trayvon Martin criminal records from the Miami-Dade School Police Department by going into the maze constructed by a similar ideological wall-builders: Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, Police Chief Charles Hurley et al. We tunneled under it. The truth takes extra digging – and the drone enabled CRS are always on alert. So take this for what it’s worth: Saint Louis – Michael Brown was never found delinquent of the juvenile equivalents of any Class A or B felony charges, and was not facing any at the time he died, a court official said this morning at a hearing on whether his juvenile records should be released.
