Brown got justice for being a punk. He attacked a police officer and soon after charged at the injured officer. Got what he asked for.

“I want justice for Michael Brown”

He got it already.

“After last month’s fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teenager, the city of Ferguson, Mo., postponed its August council meeting...”

to keep it from being burnt to the ground.

Correction:

After last month’s fatal police shooting of an unarmed black (BUT violent and agressive Thugg) teenager, the city of Ferguson, Mo.

I work with a woman who just moved out of Ferguson, walking away from her house. Value pre-riot: 90k post riot: 25k

All the whites on her block have done the same.

There is a massive unrest movement set for Oct 10th through the 13th hosted by these folks.

The name has us coppers laughing because OBS in our parlance is “observed behavioral schizophrenia”.

This may eclipse the Rodney King incident and the prep is on full speed.

imho the whole case has de-volved because the Rev Al has abandonded his money moment and things will be left to up the local court system to pursue justice . What’s amazing is Rev Al never runs out of Swisher Sweets-he did it back in the day ,too. You don’t hear much about the cop involved shooting to defend to himself do you? to me it’s a sad thing this kid got killed but he brought it on himself. but then you have the mix of msm & race baiters and hustlers like the Rev Al and then ultimately Holder (that corrupt SOB) came in of his own accord.... this whole regime is totally corrupt.

Shades of the 60s. This mob action had lots of out of state agitators. I saw quite a few SEIU T shirts too. We know who can roll out these community organizers.

What we don’t know is why Ferguson. Someone somewhere has an axe to grind/grift to sift. I’d really like to know the answer. It’d be nice if there was some ambitious investigative journalist that could expose the inside scoop.

It’ll come out in time. Some Lamestream talking bobble head will let it slip. Remember when George “Steffi” included TWA flight 800 in a list of terrorist attacks on live TV?
Immediate cut to commercial break, and no further comments on it.

There are could be any number of things, pay back for voters kicking out Charlie Dooley, Trying to take attention away from Obama’s failures, Big money wanting to buy up houses cheap. turn Ferguson/Florissant area into a North ST. Louis wasteland so as to eventually expand Lambert Field.
Great time to be selling a house in ST. Charles County.

I work in the area and this area, North St. Louis County, has a reputation for high crime, hard nosed policing, corruption, and yes, some degree of racism but nowhere near what the agitativists are portraying. I know Ferguson officers and they are very overworked, as in calls waiting when you start your watch, and calls stacked when you go home. The detective bureau can’t even start looking at a case until after a month has passed, they are that backlogged.

Now, do I think Ferguson admin could have released some stuff earlier that would have helped. Yes, but in an effort to maintain objectivity they brought in St. Louis County, a common practice, who then gets to decide what info is released. To compound that, Ferguson apparently hired a PR firm that contantly stifles their information release so the misinformation continues to circulate.

The “no-bill” is going to set St. Louis city and others alight. The agitativitst have made it clear that they will accept no other outcome but the public execution of Darren Wilson and have PROMISED violence.

The county prosecutor, Bob McCulloch, knows this case is a non-starter, especially with Wilson volunteering to testify before the Grand Jury and doing so for four hours. I was never in GJ more than a half hour. He also hinted that this case was going to go nowhere because he was promising to bring all evidence to light to the public for transperancy. You don’t do this unless you know the case is so controversial that people are going to pop off and you hope the release will belay some of that.

Anyway, stay safe wherever you are, it’s going to get turbulent.

Thanks for your reply. I live about 75 miles south of St. Louis, but I attended UMSL and worked in the St Louis area till my retirement.

While I didn’t work in that town, I am familiar with the area. The local coverage, highlighted a number of residents black and white who were pointing out the impact of outside agitators.

I think your conclusions are very likely.
