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…)

Open discussion – Hopefully things remain calm.  At least the National Guard is in place this evening.

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)

Darren Wilson today, just like George Zimmerman in 2012, doesn’t understand this is not a legal case – it’s a political case using the legal system….

You might be aware of our prior position on this.   It’s understandable when facing a process you cannot understand to reconcile your location based on prior reference points.  Darren Wilson has never been inside the political machine, he holds no frame of reference and just like Zimmerman he made a huge mistake.

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.

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…)

~ NO INDICTMENT ~

• The decision announced.  Y’all are incredible.  The only factual inaccuracy from the entire set of research into the physical and witness statements was the bullet over the apartment window.  That bullet was unrelated to the Mike Brown shooting…. But other than that little aspect YOU NAILED IT WITH INCREDIBLE ACCURACY !

#Ferguson Those reading the Conservative Treehouse knew the outcome within a few days. Those watching #CNN are still scratching their heads.
