Missouri Governor says Videotape atempting to besmirch Michael Brown

(AssPos) - Governor Jay Nixon (D-Mo) told CBS' "Face The Nation" on Sunday that the video tape showing Michael Brown strong-arming a store clerk in order to leave the premises without paying the $50 they cost is 'tarnishing' the image of the shooting victim.

"Releasing information, witness statements and videotape to the public at this stage is tantamount to smearing Michel Brown after they shot him down in his own street. They are obviously trying to make the public think he was some kind of thug or gangster. The fact is, none of that is relevant!"

"There were a lot of folks who were concerned about that, this dastardly tactic simply fanned the flames and caused more damage and caused us to have to deal with that"

"It doesn't matter what the truth is, the real world implication is what is shown on television. This poor young man was shot down in the prime of his life and the community is rightfully angry about that."

When my son was heated within inches of his life by a black man, egged on by a black woman, I did not go out and riot or loot. When my friend’s son was gunned down in cold blood along with five other people in a bar in Colorado by a black man who robbed the place for $5, I didn’t riot or loot. When there are young blacks dying every week in Chicago, no one is rioting or looting. This is BS. I’m sick of it. I’m tired of people who ruin the schools that are given to the community with my tax dollars, who can’t be bothered to vote so that the entire city government is a different color than they are, who don’t get on the police force probably because of unions and nepotism which their political party support, etc etc. And now, they have time all day and night to riot and loot. Get over it. Get an education. Vote. Stay home with your children and old people. This is not the case of a white cop who got up on the morning of August 9th and said, I think I’ll go shoot and kill a black man. It’s a tragedy and it may be the officer’s fault. The 30 feet is disturbing but Big Mike was a scary guy. And why in hell is Holder ordering an autopsy. I assume one was already ordered and perhaps done. So it’s not about being a libertarian, it’s about common sense.

“No doubt, the truth is not exactly as either narrative suggests.”

No doubt?

Have some people learned nothing from the Martin Florida incident?

“Brown was black, Wilson is white.”
Those words are found in every news article on this event. There is no explanation of the underlying assumptions behind these words.

Suppose there is an accident. A truck plows into a car. Suppose the news articles say “the truck was black, the car was white.” Everyone will wonder why the hell that was in the article because a vehicle’s color has no effect on the outcome of an accident.

Back to Ferguson. No vehicles. People. The underlying assumption is that Whites hate Blacks and are racists, and that Blacks are always victims of White aggression. The news articles never SAY that, but that is what they want you to think when you read the words “Brown was black, Wilson is white.”

“What really happened? I don’t know. I wasn’t there.

No doubt, the truth is not exactly as either narrative suggests.”

What kind of namby-pamby crap is that? Oh, I’m so understanding and tolerant, I’m sure there is fault on both sides. Maybe we can compromise.

NO, you jerk! The truth is there. What is wrong with this country that so many people are so afraid of blacks that they won’t stand up and say what needs to be said?

Whites are going to be moving as far away from blacks as they can get. Then HUD will do its best to move blacks to where they are. Pretty soon we’ll have to go to Iceland.

LOL You got me.

Well played.

Unfortunately, most of the “real” stories have that exact tone.

This an ugly demise. The socialist media raced in and blurred the reality and now there is no way to clean the mess up.

Initial race baiting, riot inciting narrative,
Unarmed black teenage shot and killed by white policeman as teen ran from the police.

The likely truth:

Strong arm, 6' 4", 270 lb, 18 year old black robber, stopped by police officer, with whom he struggled for the policeman's gun, is shot once by the officer and then runs, but when the officer orders him to stop, he turns on the officer and charges him and is shot several times and killed. The truth does not fit the race hustling, race baiting narrative, so Sharpton, Jackson, and the new Black Panthers call the truth a lie and urge more violence.

And Holder and Obama abett this behavior, and do nothing to stop it.
