FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder on Sunday ordered a federal medical examiner to perform another autopsy on a black Missouri teenager whose fatal shooting by a white police officer has spurred a week of rancorous and sometimes-violent protests in suburban St. Louis.

The "extraordinary circumstances" surrounding the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown and a request by Brown's family members prompted the order, Department of Justice spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement.

Well, now we know why this guy was sent in:

"When this is over," he told the crowd, "I'm going to go in my son's room. My black son, who wears his pants sagging, who wears his hat cocked to the side, got tattoos on his arms, but that's my baby."

Johnson added: "We all need to thank the Browns for Michael. Because Michael's going to make it better for our sons to be better black men."

TRANSLATION: The first autopsy shows no evidence that Saint Michael was shot while on his knees with his hands in the air.

If the first pathologist has any sense he’ll have a full-body NMR performed on the corpse before he hands it over to the evidence-manufacturing division of the DOJ.

14 is a teenager. 18 is an adult. At 18 you can go into the military, vote, get your own apartment, get married, etc. He was not a little kid.

He could end up having an “accident” if he tells the truth.

At 6’ 6” and 292 pounds he was no “teen” either. He was a freaking tank.

Saint Michael is the patron saint of police.

Seriously.

Did the first autopsy fail to produce Obama’s/Holder’s desired results?

How many other incidents like this have warranted a federal autopsy?

Look at the trend. Who was in power at the time? Who benefited?

BS. They have no jurisdiction there. That is a state issue not Fed. This is the Fed trying to incorporate. Do not let them in the door.

Can’t put anything past Holder and his fellow hood rats to sabotage this investigation. If indeed the officer shot in self defense the case is over.

But everyone is entitled to a mistake and this is probably the first time Michael ever thought about intimidation and bullying anybody. He just is so big that it looked bad on video. I’m sure the toxicology report will explain everything. The culture of racism drives young men to want to smoke cigars and use other types of chemicals. This hero’s life will serve as a martyr for other young people. The cop should have let Michael try out his weapon and befriended him. Instead he made him get off the street. How rude!! It was all about respect.

I'm guessing Michael Brown looked like this the day he was shot. That he lost 48 inches of height and 300 pounds of weight once he left the liquor store Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Not satire, right?

Another Warren Commission?

Another “Magic Bullet” that can make 90 degree turns and reverse course in mid-flight?

I wouldn’t believe Eric Holder or Barack Obama if they said the sun will come up in the east tomorrow.
