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:

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…)

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:

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

In Oklahoma the media is decrying a group of university students for expressing racist opinions while on a bus.   However, in Chicago a government funded public school is giving racist instructions via “Blacks Only” assembly.  The same media = (((crickets)))

Imagine if a public High School held a student in-school assembly event for “Whites Only” and the teachers stood at the door as enforcers to keep black students out. Do you think the media or community might have a problem with that?

Yet, in Chicago that’s exactly what happened. Oak Park and River Forest High School held a school student meeting in the auditorium – only the black students were allowed entry, the white students were told they were not permitted to attend.

Public School.

CHICAGO – Several white parents, none of whom would speak on the record, expressed confusion and dismay that their children were prevented from participating in a “Black Lives Matter” event Feb. 27 that was limited to black students only.

In a news release sent out after the event, school officials said they had heard the complaints about the event.

By Thomas Sowell – The U.S. Department of Justice issued two reports last week, both growing out of the Ferguson, Mo., shooting of Michael Brown. The first report, about “the shooting death of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson,” ought to be read by every American.

It sets forth in plain English the facts that have been established in this case — by an autopsy on Michael Brown’s body (by three different pathologists, including one representing the family of Michael Brown), DNA examination of officer Darren Wilson’s gun and police vehicle, examination of the pattern of blood stains on the street where Brown died, and a medical report on officer Wilson from the hospital where he went for treatment.

CNN is giddy with praise for the Madison Wisconsin response to the Tony Robinson shooting. Their praise comes as a direct result of the professional political class worrying about the delicate sensibilities of the professionally black Grievance Industry.

The “F**k the Police” crowd and the “#Black Lives Matter” crowd are fully engaged to write a very specific narrative of an unjustified police shooting and the professional race-baiters at CNN are more than happy to be their mouthpiece.

However, the current extent to which CNN is willing to obfuscate the facts is arguably even more entrenched than the Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown shootings.

The protesting crowd has now marched to fill the Wisconsin Capitol with their cries of grievance, yet no-one seems to be factually looking -yet again- at the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

Tony Robinson, a convicted armed robbery felon, was assaulting people in the street. He then went inside a building and assaulted the occupants and then the police officer who tried to stop his rampage. (more…)
