Within minutes of the Ferguson protesters (#F**kThePolice activists) shooting two police officers in Ferguson Missouri the insufferable media went into overdrive trying to protect them from the consequences of their violent exhibition.

Police union representative, Jeff Roorda rightly pointed out the goal of the FTP movement has continued to be violence against police since the outbreak of the activity in August of 2014. The protestors have conducted physical assaults, spat on police, initiated riots, conducted arson, engaged in looting, and most recently shot two police officers.

The media, however, are desperate to protect their chosen narrative. Cue the audio visual demonstration:

Obviously the media goal, as it has been from the outset, is to try and diminish the behavior of the attackers by parsing words and deflecting responsibility.

One of the professional provocateurs/antagonists immediately shrieks from the sunlight brought by Roorda’s stark delivery of fact. (more…)

HatTip Gateway Pundit:

No new information has been released by officials in Courtland, Mississippi, regarding the investigation into the December 6th murder of Jessica Lane Chambers. However, the social media chatter has picked up extensively since District Attorney John Champion announced the timeline of Ms. Chamber’s activity on the day she was killed.

It is the community discussion around the missing hour of 6:30pm to 7:31pm which has brought clarity to events leading up to the tragic night she was killed.

For a person who is new to the entire case much of what is going on might seem disjointed, disconnected or rather innocuous. However, for those people who have followed the case, and the severely bizarre investigative practices within it, there is actually a clarity emerging.

A clarity which may even explain the bizarre statements of the chief investigator, DA John Champion. (more…)

I’ve tried three times to write this… but the knot in my throat keeps blocking the keystrokes.  There’s a couple of pictures that everyone needs to see today.

Especially today.

The first picture to see is 6-year-old Marcus Johnson. Marcus was a kindergartner at Highland Elementary in the Riverview Gardens School District.

[…] The shooting happened about 7:30 p.m. [last night] as the family was leaving O’Fallon Park, just south of Interstate 70 in north St. Louis. Inside the van were three adults and five children.

The family said that a black vehicle pulled alongside their minivan on West Florissant Avenue and someone inside opened fire, Green said. The father of the child was driving the minivan grabbed a firearm and returned fire, police said.

After realizing three people in the minivan had been shot, the driver called police.

A 15-year-old boy and a 69-year-old man in the minivan were also hit. Both were being treated at a hospital. Police would not give their conditions, but said they were stable.

The child’s mother and three other children, ages 7, 10, and 11, were also in the minivan, police said. They were not hurt. (link)

Marcus was rushed by police to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Which brings me to the second picture. (more…)

Video of Jon Belmar update below article

(Via Saint Louis Post Dispatch) Officers swarmed a home in Ferguson Thursday morning in a search for those responsible for the shooting of two police officers outside the Ferguson police department about midnight.

The two officers shot early Thursday are expected to survive, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. They were treated at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and released Thursday, though one still had a bullet lodged behind his ear.

Belmar called the shooting as protests outside the department dwindled an “ambush” on police. At least three shots were fired at police just after midnight as police faced protesters who had gathered outside the police station, police said. (more…)

Part of that vast right-wing conspiracy to make the Ferguson thugs look bad:

Where do you think the shots came from?

BREAKING OVERNIGHT –  Two police officers have been shot in Ferguson Missouri during the protest by Ferguson “F**k The Police” agitators outside the Ferguson police HQ.

@02:40 …I don’t know who did the shooting to be honest with your right now… but, uh, somehow they were embedded in that group of folks”… (ie. the Ferguson protestors)

One police officer was shot in the face, the second was shot in the shoulder.  The shots appear to have come from a hill/road opposite the police station and within the crowd of protestors. More updates follow:

UPDATE: Video of shots fired:

FERGUSON • Two police officers were hit by gunfire early Thursday outside the Ferguson police department. (more…)

Brilliant strategy. Take away the guns from the police so that only the street thugs in Ferguson have weapons.
