The former St. Louis County Police Chief has said he believes federal authorities are purposely leaking details of the Michael Brown case because they already know that no charges are going to be brought against Officer Darren Wilson.
Tim Fitch has claimed the controversial New York Times article published last week which details a frantic struggle between 18-year-old Brown and Wilson over his weapon inside a squad car is all part of a strategy to 'let people down slowly'.
The retired police chief says he believes federal authorities accept it is 'probably very unlikely' that the grand jury will recommend no charges be brought against 28-year-old Wilson and he expects to see more leaks like this in the next few weeks.
'There was a struggle over the weapon. Law enforcement, we know that about half the officers killed every year with firearms are killed with their own,' said Fitch to CBS St. Louis.
'So the fact that he didn't have his own doesn't mean there wasn't a weapon there available that could be used in deadly force use.'
Addressing the New York Times article published last Friday, which included leaks from the grand jury which is taking place in secret, Fitch said he would call the sensational information phase two of the feds strategy.
In other words, 'to coordinate leaks to the media, and to start getting some of the facts out there to kind of let people down gently,' said Fitch to CBS St. Louis.
'When I say this is phase two – phase one was really Eric Holder's announcement how they were going to basically do a complete review and take over the Ferguson Police Department.'

J’accuse!
Not surprised
Why would the feds want to leak this information slowly? I would think they’d want it all to come out the Wednesday or Thursday before election day.
Specifically, before or after election day?
And the police chief wants to let them down hard, so they tear up the town?
Is this double-negative a typo? My read is that the grand jury is likely to recommend that charges be brought.
So, I guess he would prefer huge riots, yes? Or is an attention whore.
Its our “community organizer in chief” acting the only way he knows how.
IIRC, Wilson testified for four hours before the grand jury, which is unusual. He must be very confident that he is innocent.
Obama: Heartbreaking.
They are timing their exoneration of Wilson so as to provoke the greatest angry response from the black community to drive up the black vote turn out.
This is what happened to the Treyvon Martin case. The Obama administration gets all of the hooplah from race-baiting and over reaching, then the facts slowly seep out.
Nobody should be surprised if something happens in this case...something orchestrated by Rat Party Headquarters...that greatly inflames the situation...makes headlines nationwide...simply with the hope that it will increase turnout among “the most vulnerable among us”.
Bring on the riots before election day. The RATS need a reason to get their base out for the vote.
Yeah. So?
This is a tried and true strategy. It works. If it were me, I'd have set Officer Wilson free just days after the shooting and let Holder, Sharpton and the muggers in Ferguson (bleep) all over themselves and burn the mother down.
IDGAF.
But "experts" think that rioting and looting can be avoided by leaks. And they're probably right.
Double-negative probably just poor sentence construction. First sentence of story is clear that no charges are expected, and that is consistent with other reports on this story.
I think Team Obama is coordinating the fake protests, too.
If this plan of the Holderites fails, I fully expect them to petition ISIS to blow up the SLPD and the Ferguson PD.
Don’t be surprised if Obama’s ABCBSNBCNNYTimes Press Consortium doesn’t try flip this around and take the tack that DOJ was there to make sure that “RIGHT” was done and ... although the DOJ can’t refute the physical evidence; that they “jumped in” fray to “Dampen the legitimate outrage” that decedents of Slaves felt, have had passed on through their genes.
I forget were “Obama of Kenya:”and “Holder of Barbados” ancestors ever slaves in the United States?
