Consider us cynical, however I doubt he was arrested because of his threat against Darren Wilson. It is perhaps more likely this man was arrested because he represented a political risk to exposing the hidden undercurrent/narrative.  If his activity had not been stopped he could potentially have exposed the entire construct of the leftist’s Ferguson ideology based around racism and hatred. That exposure, and not the risk to Wilson, needed to be managed removed.
UPDATE: SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED:

[…]  “It is unclear how exactly authorities focused in on Abdul-Jabbaar, but the key FBI agent on the case is currently assigned to an international terrorism squad, part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force out of the the FBI’s Seattle Field Division. In addition to regular posts about the Ferguson shooting, Abdul-Jabbaar’s Facebook page includes many posts about the Islamic State (also known as ISIL or ISIS), and his cover photo is the Islamic State’s black flag.”  (link)

46 year-old Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar starting posting threats to Facebook shortly after the August shooting of Michael Brown. Investigators said the threats escalated and continued through late November – story here.
Abdul-Jabbaar also threatened other officers and even attempted to use Facebook to buy a gun, police say.
Acting U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes said freedom of speech does not extend to threats to kill or injure law enforcement officers.
“Although we each have the right to express our views about the decision reached by the state grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, we cannot tolerate violence or threats of violence that are intended to intimidate, and ultimately silence debate,” said Hayes in a written statement. “Such threats are crimes, and the individuals who make them must be held to account.” (more…)

The Pretorian Guard media is being dragged kicking and screaming toward the sunlight.

Mike Brown’s mom’s boyfriend, Louis Head, is being investigated for his leadership role in coordinating the riots, looting and arson which came as an outcome of his screaming commands on the night of the Ferguson Grand Jury announcement.

OK. I agree LEO body cameras are a GREAT IDEA.
How about we start with Chief Law Enforcement Officer Attorney General Eric Holder.

Black Lies Shatter

WHITE HOUSE – “The underlying issue here are broader then just race that this goes to sort of a foundational relationship again between law enforcement agencies and the communities they are sworn to serve and to protect. Surely discussions of race are an important part of that relationship. There is no doubt about that, but its more than just that.”
So what does antagonist Al Sharpton say about his White House advice and intentions? (more…)

CRS Coffers must be diminishing

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama asked Congress on Monday for $263 million for the federal response to the civil rights upheaval in Ferguson, Missouri, and is setting up a task force to study how to improve modern-day policing.

The funds would pay for body cameras for police officers to use and expand training for law enforcement in an attempt to build trust in communities such as Ferguson, where a grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer in the August shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, the White House said.

Philadelphia police commissioner Charles Ramsey and Laurie Robinson, a George Mason University professor who is a former assistant attorney general, will lead the task force on 21st century policing, officials said. (more…)

UPDATE:  First teen, Robert Mitchell (17), to be charged as an adult in the attack:

Buried deep, intentionally deep, inside a Saint Louis Post dispatch article outlining the arrest of a 3rd suspect in the brutal murder of Zemir Begic you find the following passage:

[…] Seldin Dzananovic, 24, said the teens with the hammers approached him farther north on Gravois about an hour before the attack on Begic. He said he was able to fight them off, suffering only cuts to his hands and neck.
“I’m just lucky,” he said. “God is on my side.”

What’s that?
You mean the other white guy whose head was smashed by a group of “unarmed teens” wielding hammers was not the first subject of their collective interest that day?  Nothing to see here, move along, move along…
And what, per se’, could possibly be going on in/around the Saint Louis area in the lead up to Mr. Begic’s encounter with the “teens” – that would have motivated a roaming group of “unarmed black teens” seeking victims?

[…]  St. Louis police Chief Sam Dotson spoke with residents at the street protest Sunday night. He said he was sorry about what happened and sought to reassure people the killing did not appear motivated by race or ethnicity.

Nothing to see here folks, so sayeth Police Captain Dotson; who just happened to show up on the scene because it’s now his job to, well, you know, deflect attention from the consequences of allowing the ridiculous and unlawful.  I digress. (more…)

Don’t Rob A Convenience Store, Don’t Fight With A Policeman When He Stops You And Try To Take His Gun, And When He Yells At You To Stop, Just Stop

…Those comments elicited gasp from a panel that included the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson and MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. Mitchell exclaimed “Whoa, whoa” during Lowry’s comments, while Robinson said his recitation of the known facts in the case was an attempt to “relitigate” Brown’s death.

The Injustice League Unites – If Stompy Feet calls in the same group he met with prior to the new round of riots and agitation, he’ll be meeting with committee head Valerie Jarrett, DOJ’s Eric Holder, CRS head Grande Lum, MSNBC’s Al Sharpton, NAACP president Cornell Brooks, and National Urban League president Marc Morial.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama will discuss the situation in Ferguson, Missouri, Monday with his Cabinet, civil rights leaders, law enforcement officials and others.
The White House says Obama’s Cabinet meeting will focus on his administration’s review of federal programs that provide military-style equipment to law enforcement agencies. (more…)

DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson is rumored to be on a very short list of people being considered to replace outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
So with Secretary Jeh Johnson in mind, here’s two aspects toward that end which both align with the proposition, yet you won’t find them openly discussed amid the pages of the Pretorian guard media.

FIRST ISSUE: Back in 2011 when President Obama was s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g his constitutional boundaries and taking us to {*cough*} war in Libya, via the non-war, war, position and R2P -I digress-there was this pesky little fact of executive overreach with a non-declared war, and Obama’s refusal to request approval from congress.   Perhaps you remember it.
At the time, June 2011, a little known attorney existed inside the Pentagon, Jeh Johnson.  Johnson was the legal counsel for the Pentagon, and as a consequence was also part of the administration’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC).   Jeh Johnson was part of the OLC who told President Stompy Feet his executive foundation for military engagement was illegal.
