Ferguson on Knife Edge of More Violence After Grand Jury Evidence Leak Showing Struggle

A grand jury may decide not to indict the officer who shot Michael Brown. If that happens, Ferguson will explode again.

The Rev. Carlon Lee, pastor of Flood Christian Church in Ferguson, Mo., was sending out links to a New York Times story Friday night to friends, family and community members who have spent the last two months absorbed in the events surrounding the death of teenager Michael Brown. The story cited forensic evidence offered by federal officials that showed Brown’s blood on officer Darren Wilson’s uniform and gun, which was found to have been fired inside Wilson’s patrol car.

“I believe that when people have received (the Times) article and see what’s going on it will infuriate people and set us back,” Lee said. “No matter what happened in (Wilson’s) car, Michael Brown’s hands were up. No matter if he beat the crap out of Officer Wilson, his hands were up—a universal sign of surrendering.”

It’s impossible to tell whether the story being sent out by Lee on Friday night would result in increased action on the streets of Ferguson, but one thing, as it has all along, remains clear: If Wilson isn’t indicted chaos will once again reign.

“If there’s a non-indictment I think you’ll see an immediate uproar,” Lee said. “I don’t think people have seen the amount of unrest and anger that will come if there’s a non-indictment.”

If the evidence released Friday is any indication, both are inevitable.

Mt 5:9 - good quote. Apparently, a passage that that pastor does not believe.

[DJ Taylor]

We might be seeing history made in this country that will puzzle future historians. For the first time in recorded human history, a minority population was so ignorant that they actually started a race war with the much larger, much better armed, and much more intelligent majority population.

Future historians will ask themselves, “What in the world were they thinking?”

And Reid and the hero of BENGHAZI will approve it

[ThePatriotsFlag]

They would riot even after they hung the officer...these people burn and ransack when their team wins.

[Texan5]

Idiotic spending-yet another excellent reason to make democrats the minority in the senate...

[AppyPappy]

“Michael Brown’s hands were up. “

The narrative is the real truth, not the facts.

[ChicagahAl]

we're not a country based on 'most violent lowlife mob' wins.

Apparently, you missed the DNC memo on that one.

If they want to burn the place down they'll get arrested.

OK... You don't really believe that. Do you?

[ChicagahAl]

outside of St Louis I just don’t see any real outrage.

I'm pretty sure these are paid agitators, for the most part. And there just aren't enough of them (fortunately) to incite more than one or two places at a time.

[sargon]

Every officer should wash their hands of it and let it explode. Give it a month and sweep up the remains.

Think again. Unfortunately, a lot of those remains would be those of innocent people of all colors.

[cripplecreek]

The democrats have screwed up.

There is just too much free stuff to be had by legal means. Its pretty hard to stir up a real outrage when they have 200 channels of cable TV, computers, cell phones, cars, video games etc.

[GOPJ]

Yes, the old ‘rent-a-crowd’ thing. Too bad there are so few real reporters left... they could find out who’s paying the bus fare and living expenses.

~~~“If there’s a non-indictment I think you’ll see an immediate uproar,” Lee said. “I don’t think people have seen the amount of unrest and anger that will come if there’s a non-indictment~~~

Is jessssssssseeee, if you put enough S's his name sounds like the snake he is, going to bus them out to loot and burn stores and businesses since the have already looted and burned those near them?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

I think these data are germane.

So why am I doing this? I intend to continue until the Obama-Holder demagogues; the race-grievance industry cadre and extortionists; the MSM employees; the aging 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litter stop their bullshit that every black American is a potential victim of white crime and talk honestly -- and address these federal government figures.

Speaking of federal government and honesty I'll answer another question.. WoC why all these old statistics? Post something from today.

Well I do when I can find them -- and they still have race-related crime data. I have posted what I can find including the FBI homicide data showing interracial homicides.

I've given up trying to find more like that.. after decades of annual survey data showing interracial victim-offender data the Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey quit publishing the NCVS Table 42 data -- a little to honest about race relations for the Obama-Holder demagogues. I guess.

Uniform Crime Reporting Program Federal Bureau of Investigation November 2003

A race-specific arrest rate refers to the number of arrests per 100,000 inhabitants belonging to a defined race.

The statisticians have updated the race-specific data used in this publication, and therefore, figures may differ slightly from the national averages published in earlier editions of Crime in the United States . The rates represent that portion of the population covered by all agencies that contributed race data for the given offenses. The UCR Program requires that reporting agencies supply the age of arrestees; however, the Program stipulates that the submission of race data is voluntary. Therefore, the population coverage for race statistics is lower than that for age statistics.

OK... You don't really believe that. Do you?

Well kinda... a little. Sometimes...not all the time.

[GOPJ]

For one thing that statement constitutes jury intimidation.And the intimidation is anything but subtle.

You're right... there's no subtlety to that threat. One more reason NOT to give in to the mob.

Now I know why his hands weren’t straight up. He was tired from doing one handed 120 lb Indian curls.

‘It is truly sad. I’m currently on a ‘super’ grand jury here in Cook County IL. What I’ve seen and heard in just one week of this 4 week commitment, has caused me to see things I wish I’d never seen. Took a ‘tour’ of the jail this week, it was un-freakin-believeable.

It is so deeply entrenched that I honestly don’t see a solution. Too many making a ton of money off the grievance industry. I’m relying on prayers.’

What a story. I can only imagine what you have seen & heard. Things have come to a very bad pass in this country. The Left’s solutions make everything a hundred-x worse. As you said, prayer is the key. The Left has no defense against it. Let’s believe there is hope for the US yet, & double down. God may have a big surprise waiting for us just down the road.

[trebb]

It is easy to ignore this situation if you don’t live near that area, but honestly what do the protesters want?

They want a free "Politician's Ticket" to do whatever they want, whenever they want, with no repercussions and many rewards. They are grown up versions of my brother's childhood friend who once told him, "Scotty, I'm going to hit you, but don't you hit me back". When it doesn't go as planned, they throw a hissy designed to change things so they do get their way. If their own kids did it to them, they'd be killing them - ironic...

[beef]

Sorry, I’m short a short.

[sport]

That is what I have been saying. The truth no longer matters. The truth is that Brown was a thug that had just committed strong arm robbery and continued his crime spree by attacking and severely injuring the officer. But that is not the narrative put out and ran with.

Same with the Zimmerman case. the truth is that Martin was a hoodlum that was ran out of Miami Lakes. And he attacked and severely injured George Zimmerman. Had Zimmerman not be armed, he would have slain him. But the story the media made up and ran with was that George Zimmerman stalked and shot down Martin, who was unarmed for no reason.

It is my personal belief that the media doing things like this to discourage citizens from defending themselves when attacked by the feral animals.

These are not the first incidents manufactured by the media where none existed, merely the latest in a long line. The Boxer Rebellion in China, which cost countless innocent lives, was the result of a manufactured lie by the media.
