Johnson chastised journalists for interfering with police.

Said ‘one team of journalists had to be rescued’ during gunfight as police were trying to apprehend the shooters and reporters were trying to take photos..

Good morning, caww. I want to thank you for keeping the thread going with updates (and photos!) after the rest of us shut the lights out. You did a GREAT job, and it’s much appreciated.

Yes, I did hear that, and completely agree with him.

But he still, IMHO, placated the crowd too much, which, IMHO, emboldens the agitators.

I hope they bring this under control soon.

I believe, the officer, Wilson, was a hero in this. He did his job and was assaulted, injured, and put in jeopardy of his life for it.

My own reconstruct goes like this:

A large (6 foot 6 inch tall, 290 pound) 18 year old black man, Michael Brown, was shot and killed after a struggle and confrontation with a white police officer, Darren Wilson.

Brown had robbed a store moments before and he and his accomplice were walking down the middle of a street when the police officer, unaware of the robbery at the time, asked them to not walk in the middle of the street.

When Wilson pulled ahead and observed that they did not move, he also got a radio report of the robbery, and the two matched the description of the suspects. At that point, Wilson returned to question them.

An argument inured. The officer tried to get out of his vehicle and Brown held the door shut.

A struggles insured through the car window which may have included a struggle for the officer's weapon. In the struggle, Brown punched Wilson in the face, fracturing the orbital bone around his eye.

A shot rang out and Brown and his friend ran.

The officer got out of his car and followed, ordering them to stop. Brown turned sound and had more words with Wilson, and then, according to witnesses, Brwn 'bum charged' the officer who fired several times at the attacking Brown, killing him.

Once again a false narrative (a lie) has been concocted to play the race card, gen up violence, and serve political ends.

The same crew of individuals are involved. Obama, Holder, Sharpton, Jackson, and the New Back Panthers. All to the same purpose, as with Treyvon Martin. And like with Martin...all a pack of lies.
