While the two shooting events are separated by two and a half years, Trayvon (Feb 2012) Mike Brown (Aug 2014) the similarities are quite remarkable. One of the key aspects that aligns both narratives is the appearance of the attorney for both families Benjamin Crump. The second key aspect is the way the media portray both events.
Here’s some of the similarities:
• The age of both was originally misreported. Trayvon was 13, then 15, then 16 and eventually 17. Mike Brown was 17 in most original reports, and then eventually 18.
• Both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were at a convenience store immediately before the shooting.
• Both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were legally represented by attorney Benjamin Crump, from the Law Firm of Parks and Crump.
• For both shootings Benjamin Crump enlisted the assistance of MSNBC and Al Sharpton.
• Al Sharpton enlisted the AME church network, and Jamal Bryant in both shootings.
• Benjamin Crump and Al Sharpton called for the NAACP’s assistance.
• The New Black Panther Party involved themselves in both shootings.
• The congressional Black Caucus involved themselves in both shootings.

Another major similarity to the Trayvon Martin shooting is the way the pack media attack the Police Chief. In Sanford Florida it was Bill Lee, in Ferguson Missouri it is Thomas Jackson. (more…)
Update: The social media photo posted throughout the blogosphere was not confirmed as the deceased Michael Brown and has been replaced. -ytz
Just as the Trayvon Martin narrative unfolded, as independent bloggers and researchers enthusiastically scour social media a truer, more complete picture of Michael Brown emerges as Sharpton remains on site in an attempt to manage and direct the “narrative”.
Although earning praise from local authorities for his “official” calls for “peace”, Sharpton’s ability to manage the narrative has been called into question by by black and white observers keeping tabs on the ever evolving and fluid situation from outside of the area of conflict.

While the “Hands Up – Don’t Shoot” Justice looting for Mike Brown diminished overnight in Ferguson Missouri, the extreme elements of the violence continued their activity.
An overnight report via police scanners reflected a drive-by shooting. Early news reports confirm a woman was shot in the head as police called for additional assistance. Four suspects were being sought by police. One suspect was seen handcuffed and being loaded into a police unit.
…………………..New Narrative Alert!!
A guest on the Michael Dyson show (a director of “Africana studies” at Lehigh University), calls the rioting “understandable” and a “red herring”.
The real issue underpinning the Brown shooting is the failure of the “system” and police officers, specifically….
“They can handle the riot and stop the riot and control the riot,” he said dismissively. “But the real question is can we get our criminal justice system, can we get our police departments, to acknowledge the humanity of black and brown folks?”
He goes on to state the police “abused” their power and “terrorized” the community for “hours”.
Of course, the people in those communities are not responsible for the irresponsible choices they make. Oh noes.
Of course, since this is the end game – handcuffing the responses of any law enforcement officer when dealing with a black suspect – it now makes more sense why Sharpton has taken the lead on this and Crumpster is a player in the background. This is much bigger fish than simply overturning “Stand Your Own”. (Read more...)

A photo of the now deceased Michael Brown as published online by KSDK.
While it’s still early and independently verifiable information is scarce, compare and contrast to another highly publicized racially charged case involving “an innocent chile’ returning from the store“……
Meanwhile on vacation President Obama stopped short of calling Michael Brown his son, but he did deliver a Presidential Statement on the events:
“The death of Michael Brown is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and his community at this very difficult time.
As Attorney General Holder has indicated, the Department of Justice is investigating the situation along with local officials, and they will continue to direct resources to the case as needed.
I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions, but as details unfold, I urge everyone in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the country, to remember this young man through reflection and understanding. We should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. Along with our prayers, that’s what Michael and his family, and our broader American community, deserve. ~ President Barack Obama 8/12/14

Update: NBPP rally over, crowd dispersed, NOTAMS lifted, County Police now feel the situation is more secure.
Daily Caller reports the PD requested the NOTAMS after shots were fired at a county chopper.
….. Developing …..
h/t Gateway Pundit:
“Temporary flight restrictions are in effect. Only relief aircraft operations under direction of St. Louis County Police Department are authorized in the air space ….”
The NOTAMS is in support of air surveillance for the Black Panther Rally taking place in Ferguson.
As Jim Hoft notes: The protest Tuesday is being sponsored by a who’s who of radical far left organizations including: the Tauheed Youth Organization, Organization for Black Struggle (a pro-Hamas group), New Black Panther Party (NBPP), Moorish Science Temple, Nation of Islam – Mosque 28, and the Universal African Peoples Organization (UAPO).

Nothing says social justice like the backdrop of a cloud of teargas against the running silhouette of an impoverished lad clutching a freshly looted flat screen TV.

In response to the shooting of Michael Brown, and with full support of the leftist provocateur media, the riots start in Ferguson:
And of course MSNBC’s staff of racial agitators is giddy with glee:
Dozens of police cars and cops in riot gear are gathering at the Target just south of the protest. This could get ugly very soon…
