Based on their inability to control a press conference, the belief that law enforcement can actually enforce a curfew is slightly less than zero.  The entire town is now, well, essentially a free range safari:

Missouri – During a press conference that quickly spiraled out of control Missouri Gov. Nixon declared a state of emergency and set a curfew from midnight to 5 a.m.

The curfew will not be enforced “with tear gas or with tanks,” according to Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol. “We will communicate,” said Johnson.

FBI agents are on the ground working on the investigation, said Nixon. (more…)

We’ve seen this exact scenario play out numerous times, most visibly in 2012 when the DOJ wanted to keep the FBI reports on the lack of racial animus -which supported George Zimmerman- from the public.
Under Eric Holder’s tenure the DOJ civil rights division has actively engaged in pushing racial grievances to the forefront of their operational goals.  This type of intentional organizational racism even led to the former head of the Civil Rights Division, Ondray Harris, quitting his federal job after he was instructed not to hire non-blacks.
In the Mike Brown shooting the institutional racism of the DOJ surfaces again with the DOJ demand NOT to release the robbery video which showed the behavior of Mike Brown just prior to the encounter with police officer Darren Wilson.

#BREAKING Robbery video was released over the objections of DOJ. Told #Ferguson PD it was inflammatory + non responsive to FOIA.

The DOJ will hide behind the false construct of the Community Relations Service and claim the request not to release was made in the best interest of lowering racial tensions.  However, their intents, based on all historical references, are transparently the opposite of their claims. (more…)

Yahoo News are slime from tracking down and pestering the family of Officer Wilson; their liberal bias permeates their typeset. 

FERGUSON, Mo. — Six months before he shot and killed an unarmed teenager Mike Brown, police Officer Darren Wilson earned a commendation for his “extraordinary effort in the line of duty.”

Yahoo News confirmed the award through the February 11 Ferguson City Council meeting minutes and photos Wilson’s father posted to his Facebook page.
“Very proud of my son, Darren Wilson on his receiving a Commendation from his Police Department,” John Wilson wrote on February 11. “Congratulations Son.” (more…)

Well worth the time to listen to Rush Limbaugh skewer sunlight upon the national media:

The pregnant woman was knocked out cold on the ground by the punch. The man behind the attack was a Brooklyn man named Willie Stephens, 33. Officers found Stephens three blocks away and arrested him.  This brings the confirmed number of knock-out victims to 27 so far in 2014.

(New York) The pregnant woman who was sucker-punched for no apparent reason Thursday was so traumatized by the cruel attack, she’s too scared to set foot outside, she told The Post on Friday.

“I was just walking and somebody slapped me in the face, he pushed me and I fell down,” said Jannatul Ferdous, 34.  “I’m scared. My neck and back hurt,” she told The Post, refusing to step outside of her apartment. (more…)

I’m going to call this the “J J Video” because a sharp Treeper catches the background conversation within a video of the Mike Brown shooting scene.  The video was uploaded by a U-Tube account “Black Canseco“.
The video was taken in the aftermath of the shooting, and judging from the comments attributed to the uploader -although he was not a direct witness- he felt the video was affirmational toward Mike Brown and the anti-police narrative.
However, probably unknown -or at least unnoticed- in the background of the video you can hear an audio conversation of a male eye witness to the shooting itself describing what he saw to another curious male spectator.  Again, the conversation of importance is in the background.
If anyone has the audio software to clear up the foreground, and distracting screams in the background, and focus in on that off camera two party conversation it would be very beneficial.   It would be specifically beneficial because what the eye witness is describing immediately after the shooting is in direct alignment with a second party statement from a friend of Officer Darren Wilson.
FIRST, The friend describes the event –as told to her by Wilson– as follows: (more…)

Things are adding up rather quickly now.

First the full video from the convenience store robbery by Mike Brown and Darian Johnson:

Contrary to popular media spin, Police Chief Tom Jackson confirms that Officer Darren Wilson did see cigars in the hands of Mike Brown and did view him as a potential suspect in the previous strong-arm robbery when he approached for questioning. (more…)

*Update* Friend of Officer Darren Wilson speaks out with different side of story (below)

(Via TPM) Michael Brown, the African-American teen who was shot by Ferguson, Mo., police Saturday, was the primary suspect for an alleged robbery that occurred at the time of the shooting, according to reporters on the ground piecing through a police report released Friday.

Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson said officer Darren Wilson, a six-year veteran, was the officer who shot Brown. He gave a timeline of the shooting, which included a response to a 911 call from a convenience store shortly before the shooting around 12 p.m. Saturday.

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.
