We really need to be careful using conservative treehouse as a source. They source MSM articles, cherry pick portions of them, add opinion not supported by the source article, and then add a title meant to drive up their hit count.

This is a perfect example. The BPD leadership has not admitted to a stand down order. The vast majority of this article is about a conflict between BPD leadership and the Union over tactics. Despite my agreement with the union side of this argument, it is disingenuous for conservative treehouse to use the title they used and their overall composition style.

Yep. One of my pet peeves too. I wish sites like these were banned from being posted on FR.

BTW, here’s the original article CTH ripped off:

If you click through to the article and read it you will find a link containing audio of stand-down orders on the police radio.

The point of the post was to show the connection between the White House and "Black Lives Matter" organizers in Florida, Ferguson, and Baltimore. That connection is shown by the WH visitor logs.

IIRC, Conservative Treehouse did superb work with the Zimmerman case.
