The police in Ferguson, Missouri, had a whole bunch of "supplementary information" for reporters today when they identified the police office r who shot Michael Brown. And in that packet were some photos and a police report on a convenience store robbery that occurred minutes before Brown was shot. The official narrative is now that officer Darren Wilson was responding to a convenience store robbery when he stopped Brown, grabbed him through the window of his SUV, and then the two either wrestled over Wilson's gun OR Brown tried to not get pulled through the window of a police SUV, after which Brown was shot to death. Something along those lines.
Not the case here - according to the report, the officer who first responded appears to have coincidentally *just* have wrapped up his previous call in the very close neighborhood. The report's time log has him arriving just one minute after dispatch sent the call.
Brown's mistake was stealing cigars instead of grazing fees from the government. Then he'd have an army of sovereign citizens ready to shoot back. For freedom.
Random twitter users are idiots. Security camera footage is rarely of high quality to start with, stills taken from video are almost always of poor quality, and seemingly reprocessed, size-reduced stills take from security camera footage are manifestly inadequate for distinguishing between a 6 and an 8 in this case.
It'd be a deeply serious thing to inject a fake report into the event log, and notice that Ferguson PD aren't the ones who interacted with Johnson so if his admission is to be dismissed you've got to expand the conspiracy beyond apparently three officers mentioned in the report, however many people are responsible for keeping records at Ferguson PD, whoever's directing the coverup, and into either St Louis County PD or the FBI.
Well, there <em>is</em> <a href="http:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/livewire\/erick-erickson-police-militarization" target="_blank">this</a>, so not all hope is lost, yet.
I was wondering when we&#039;d find out what motivated the original encounter. The whole &quot;Cop randomly picks black kid to shoot in back&quot; narrative never did hold water.
&quot;Angry cop loses his shit and kills black kid&quot; probably sums it up nicely.
Am I reading this thing right? Are they claiming that the time stamp on the tape says the incident took place between 11:52:58 and 11:54:00? But the call (911?) was received at 11:51; officers was dispatched at 11:53 and the responding officer arrived at 11:54?
Really is getting confusing here,so you gots a knee grow strong arming probably a Muslin raghead cause you know they run all those convenience stores that sell the swisher sweets and rose buds with chore boy,why is everyone so mad that it took a white man to fix the mess,we ought to be giving him a medal or something if you people would just stop using race into everything
Well, the timestamp on the tape isn&#039;t necessarily going to be very reliable. It could easily be several minutes out.
The notion that an officer was dispatched at 11:53, arrived at 11:54, departed at 11:54 to go looking for a kid he found 6 minutes later and shot repeatedly is not particularly easy to digest - especially when the report says the call was dispatched as &quot;stealing&quot; (i.e., petty theft, no mention of robbery or strong arm).
Wilson was not the officer responding to the &quot;stealing&quot; dispatch call. That officer did about as much as you&#039;d expect in the circumstances - looked down the street to see if he could see anyone, gave up when he couldn&#039;t, took witness statements.
The description available to Ferguson PD for the suspect was &quot;black male wearing white T-shirt&quot; with &quot;another black male&quot;.
Guess we know the reason they didn&#039;t mention the robbery before today. Until Thomson admitted it, they had no idea it was actually Brown.
EDIT: and here&#039;s how you know they didn&#039;t know it was Brown: the officer who did respond to the stealing dispatch entered a case note at 1854 reporting he still hadn&#039;t seen anyone fitting the description given, which by then had been padded out with the details of red cards cap, khaki shorts &amp; yellow socks. If they knew they&#039;d shot the kid hours earlier, they wouldn&#039;t still be looking for him, would they?
Mentioned this in reply to another comment but wanted to bump it up.
Wilson had no idea that Brown was apparently the cigar thief. He was not the officer who responded to the robbery call, which was actually dispatched as the much less serious &quot;stealing&quot;. The initial description available for the suspect was &quot;black male wearing a white T-shirt&quot;, which isn&#039;t exactly very useful in a city with a population that&#039;s 2/3rds African-American.
The officer who <em>did</em> respond to the call was still looking for the suspect at 18:54, apparently with no idea he&#039;d been gunned down several hours earlier.
I was looking to see if the officer who responded to the call was the same one Anonymous doxxed yesterday. Which it is not. So what prompted Anonymous to identify a third officer who isn&#039;t in either report?

Yeah, but that single number might focus attention on the police killing an unarmed black man, instead of SQUIRREL!
Gun sales are up in Ferguson.

Oh, sorry. Does our demand to the adherence to the right to due process of law offend?
Johnson was reported as having &#039;avoided the police&#039; for several days. Can&#039;t say that I am surprised.

Truly WTF?
Such stark contrast, almost like it&#039;s in black and white.

Oh it just gets more and more wonderful.
