Federal authorities opposed Friday's release of a surveillance video showing a man resembling Michael Brown committing a robbery at a convenience store in Ferguson, Mo., CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports.

The Justice Department asked Ferguson police not to release the video, believing that it would roil the community further, and were able to successfully prevent the video from being released Thursday, the U.S. law enforcement official said.

Friday's release occurred over the objection of federal authorities, the official said.

Of course. It doesn’t fit their racist narrative.

Yeah God forbid everyone see this criminal punk for who he really is..Holder and his crew were afraid that once people saw this “Sweet innocent boy just going to visit grammy” for who he really was then they couldn’t milk this story for all its worth

Seems like I remember Holder telling his minions to only obey the laws they wanted to obey.

Or something like that.

The video also makes it harder for poverty pimps to shake down guilty white liberal elites...

I believe this thing would be getting even more out of control if the video of Michael Brown stealing wasn’t released.

I also believe the feds may have wanted this thing to get further out of control. Why? Obama’s poll numbers are so low. This could have provided the dipsheet an opportunity to look like he had a clue.

The feds and the media would also prefer to discuss this this situation instead of illegals, genocide in Iraq and Syria, the economy, the IRS, and so many of Obama’s other failures.

Notice how they can't bring themselves to admit that the thug in the video is Saint Michael?

The closest they can get is to say that the thug in the video "resembles" Saint Michael.

CBS noticed that 'looters rioted following the release of the video', as if they rioted because the video was released.

They are still carrying water for this administration even as everyone sees what toads they are.

That is no shocker when it comes to Obama and Holder and their progressive nature and agenda. Holder’s MO. Advance all they can get with their racial division subversion. If only someone would stand up to them, fully. Only reason they get away with it and of course, their loving media is riding along with these frauds.

there musta been hundreds of 6’4”, 300 pound black guys that could have been wearing the exact same clothes and the exact same red cap and the exact same clown shoes walking around in the immediate vicinity of the shop and the shooting at noon that day

If the Feds oppose it, there is, probably, a compelling reason to do it.

He did the right thing by releasing it. ‘Inflame’ them? As opposed to how calm and orderly things have been to date? The hard edge of reality can be ugly. AND?? Deal with it. I am waiting with bated breath to see the National Guard called to this scene. What a bunch of low-life losers.

The Justice Department asked Ferguson police not to release the video, believing that if the truth came out that Michael Brown committed a strong-armed robbery minutes before he confronted and attacked police, then Holder and the rest of the DemoFascist race-baiters would be unable to keep spinning the “gentle giant” lie.
