Ferguson: a case study in race baiting

Not only are there attempts at character assassination of the officer but the character assassination of the complete police department of Ferguson has ensued.

Michael Brown steals a fistful of cigars from a convenience store. The surveillance video shows him shoving a man who attempts to block the door. As the man backs away, Mr Brown turns and walks in a threatening manner towards the shopkeeper. Michael Brown is 6’4” and 300 pounds. Any physical altercation between the robber and merchant is a mismatch of force. The actions of Michael Brown are deemed a “strong-arm robbery with the use of force”. Let me put this in perspective. The shopkeeper is about my size. Visualise a 300-pound man shoving a woman who is 5’2”. You get the picture.

Minutes later, Michael Brown and his accomplice are seen walking in the street and obstructing traffic. Officer Darren Wilson asks the men to move off the street. He is unaware of the events that had occurred earlier. As the officer seeks to exit his vehicle, the 300-pound walking tower beats the officer nearly to unconsciousness leaving him with periorbital fractures (unconfirmed) and facial injuries (unconfirmed). There are unconfirmed reports of a shot fired during the struggle.

What we do know for sure is that Michael Brown is dead. We do know that the officer is injured. His home is vacant. He cannot stay there. We know that Ferguson, Missouri, had a regional crime scene that involved an assault on a uniformed public safety officer. We know the officer discharged his weapon and killed his assailant. We also know that Ferguson, Missouri, is a case study for national race baiting. Ferguson is a keg. The government postured toward the political checkerboard and chose the colour black.

August 12, 2014. Close on the heels of any event that might showcase white-on-black violence is the usual appearance of Reverend Al Sharpton, otherwise known as Reverend sower-of-seeds-of-discord. This man cut his teeth on falsehood and propaganda in the prior century. In 1987, Tawana Brawley set our nation on its heels with her false accusation of being raped by six white men. The 15-year-old’s list of villains included police officers and a prosecuting attorney. Mainstream media gave relentless coverage to Tawana Brawley. Sharpton was omnipresent to console and cajole. The media circus began in 1987 and continued into October of the following year. At that time, a grand jury determined that lil’ Miss Brawley had made the whole thing up. We swallowed the big lie. To this day, more than a few refuse to spit it out. Mainstream media has given equally vigorous coverage to the situation in Ferguson, Missouri. Reverand Al Sharpton? He operates with the same dynamic as the average Sunni versus Shia cleric, or vice versa. Words of peace do not generate zakat, baby!

August 16, 2014. On the direction of the White House, the department of justice created a dragnet to search for civil rights violations. Forty FBI agents descended on the city of Ferguson. The configuration is surreal. This amount of investigative vigour lends itself to the playing out of a Napoleonic code of law: Officer Darren Wilson is treated as guilty until proven innocent, as opposed to innocent until proven guilty. However, it also creates the perception that a crime of magnitude, that a terror attack took place. Yes, there was terror on the streets of Ferguson but it began with a pair of knuckles.

August 20, 2014. US Attorney General Eric Holder arrives in Ferguson, Missouri. There have been 11 straight nights of protests, looting and violence on the streets of the city. He has this to say to a group of college students: “I am the attorney general of the US,” Holder told a group of local college students. “But I am also a black man.”

As he did last summer in the wake of the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s killer, Holder spoke of his own experiences with racial profiling, the police and being black in the US. “I understand the mistrust,” he told them. I really need to read Immanuel Kant again. Critique of Pure Reason seems a good place to start.

Time stamp: current. Not content that a police officer sustained fractures to his face and could have actually lost his life, the media now set about to do two things. Not only are there attempts at character assassination of the officer but the character assassination of the complete police department of Ferguson has ensued. The Washington Post ran an article titled, ‘Darren Wilson’s First Job was on a Troubled Police Force Disbanded by Authorities’. The Huffington Post ran their story, ‘Ferguson Hired Officer with History of Allegedly Hitting Children’. We are becoming noveau conspiracy theorists. Move over Pakistan!

Now that the media has effectively crucified both man and organisation they move on to Vatican level politics of deifying the deceased. Michael Brown is now Saint Micky. His mother proclaims him a “gentle giant”. The shopkeeper’s surveillance video is the forensic evidence that troubles the story. But then we have the media’s bizarre sidewinder. Mr Brown had a weird dream that he shared with his grandfather. The White House ventriloquist dummy, The New York Times, opines that Michael Brown saw an angel. It was being chased by Satan. The angel ran into the face of God.

Here is the deal. Metaphysical experience is individual and nuanced. I can recount a dream about pepperoni pizza sprouting wings and flying about my head. It says nothing regarding my character. However, I might wake up hungry and pop a frozen pizza in the oven. I really do need to read Kant!

Race baiting has prevailed. A city suffers distress and duress with nights of looting and riots. A vortex of malice now exists. The administration’s script seems postured toward 2016 and a desirable voting block. In my neighbourhood, we get along just fine. However, the soul of Ferguson, Missouri, has been ripped out. The city will never be the same. An unarmed black man is killed. The race baiting will continue.

Thank you Times of Pakistan and Tammy Swofford. What makes this report significicant is that there are thousands of small businesses operated by immigrants from Pakistan here in the US. Many in black neighborhoods. Let’s hope this gets around not only to “asians” but to “afro-americans” as well.

While it does not draw the conclusions I have been posting here in FR. A portion of which I offer here

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE FERGUSON RIOTS ?

All this inflamatory reporting of confrontations between black youths and authority is ruthlessly designed to keeping the black segment of Obama’s political support riled up so that any thought of instituting a richly deserved impeachment proceeding goes nowhere.

This regime and its supporters don’t give a damm if some poor black women or anyone else used all their resources to set up a business in those communities only to have it destroyed through blacks rioting resulting from what democrats created through their propaganda. Such blacks are viewed as eggs that must be broken to make their omlet.

That includes the whites,”hispanics” (note quotes) and asians. They are the other victims who have been maimed, assulted, and murdered by blacks citing those Florida manufactured episodes as their excuse for retribution.

This POTUS (president of the United States) signaled the clever direction to take through his use of “The Bully Pulpit”. And continues to rely on the constitutional office of The US Attorney General to conduct activities and investigations which promote division rather than supress it. Two examples of this used in the Florida case were Holder’s support of the Black Panther’s protest activity and the reward for the demise of the alledged murderer George Zimmerman of the “child”, Treyvon Martin. Which got a wink and a nod

With Ferguson beside sending in 40 DoJ prosecuters which remain to be seen what they come up with. (The Washington Post sent in 4 reporters to work over officer Wilson). Holder demanded witholding the devastating release of the video showing the “victim”was a 6 foot 4 inch 295 pound Michael Brown assulting a dimunitive asian store clerk, who was being portrayed as a just turned 18 year old black”kid” innocently walking home to grandma’s house shot in the back by a white police officer, Wilson, just because Brown was black.

That video was released according to press reports by the police chief of Ferguson responding to FOIA (freedom of information act) requests. But had that video been released earlier there was a decent chance there might have not been 4 days of rioting looting, and destruction of property.

The POTUS has yet to acknowledge and decry those other results, of killings and assults by blacks of whites, “hispanics”, and asians, in retribution for what a “white” hispanic did to a black kid.. Let alone be urged to do so by “news” members of the democrat propaganda army known as the media. They have yet to suffer as their victims the same or any conseqences. They like him are being held unaccountable . It’s time both are.

Knowledge of it may start to ball rolling toward the removal of this corrupt regime.
