http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/11/obama-meets-with-ferguson-activists-says-hes-concerned-they-stay-on-course/

Some of the national leaders met with President Obama on Nov. 5 for a gathering that included a conversation about Ferguson.

According to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr. Obama “was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”

EXCERPT

While in Ferguson, Sharpton met with the Brown family and reported back directly to Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama’s closest aides.

Sharpton was directed to find out specific information including what the Brown family wanted from the White House, Politico reports.

The veteran activist, who is also leading Saturday’s march on Staten Island against police brutality in New York, even suggested Jarrett turn up the heat on Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, and appoint a special prosecutor to replace St. Louis prosecutor Bob McCulloch in the Brown case.

EXCERPTS

In Trayvon’s case, (Parks & Crump) alerted the news media more quickly. They phoned the Rev. Al Sharpton almost instantly, and organized marches with local civil rights activists. They also started pressing for federal involvement and alleging a cover-up from the get-go.

“In court, you have the jury,” Crump says. “Our job is to get the case to a jury. We need to fight first in the court of public opinion. The jury is the American people.

If body cameras are adapted it will take about 6 mo.s before the thug class starts protesting that the cameras invade their privace.

Body cameras are actually a good idea but would these people be any happier if Wilson had been exonerated sooner?

Good. Body cameras would have shown the top of the “angel’s” head charging Wilson. In several famous cases the cops would have been vindicated.

I’ll bet Wilson wishes he had a body cam.

As much as I believe that the officer was justified in taking out the thug Michael Brown, it is extremely unlikely that the police will agree to wearing body cameras.

There are too many cases where the killing is NOT justified, especially during late night and early morning “no-knock” raids, where people are killed on their couches or in their beds just for moving the “wrong” way. Not to mention the fate of the hapless family dog.

My son's department has had them for at least a decade, with audio. Saved him from a charge of racism too. A black woman wrote a letter to the editor of the local rag, saying my son used racist language when he stopped her for speeding, they published her letter, then the police chief wrote his own letter, refuting the charge and invited any citizen to stop by the station and review the video and audio, which the chief said would show how courteous and respectful he was to the woman.

No takers on his offer however.

When eye witness accounts and convenience store surveillance cameras reveal their son’s behavior, how will police body cameras make a difference. These people exist in a world of delusion where their son’s own behavior as was revealed before their own eyes did not matter. It started when Michael Brown ate all the cookies in the cookie jar and said that he did not eat them and ended when he became aggressive and appeared under the influence of drugs. In a orderly society, the truth is required and following the rules is how one becomes a human being rather than a savage.

When you are losing the verbal battle, change the subject

I would suggest that all male black teens till 25 wear cameras to monitor their criminal activities.

Hey Mrs Brown, your 15 minutes is past due. Your son tried to kill a cop and got killed instead. Deal with it.

If officer Wilson had been wearing a body camera showing the attack by Michael Brown this entire farcial would have ended the minute the camera video was viewed.

Maybe had Brown’s parents spent a little more time training their son about right and wrong he would be alive today. Now they seek to get publicity with a mutt like Al Sharpton.
Their son went looking for trouble and he got it.

If the “Press” were honest, they would boycott this “press conference.”

Hey Al!

How much evidence would it take to shut you up?

That’s right Al!

Live video from 6 views would NOT keep you from stirring up trouble.

I’d love some police camera footage of them putting down the vermin with pepper foggers and fire hoses.

It’s a lot like Shelton Lee’s movie, “Do The Right Thing”.

Bully, steal from, try to kill the honky pizza man.
Uh oh, a gangsta-wanna-be gets smoked ... dayum!
So burn down the business, then show up the next day in the smoking ruins.
After instigating the tragedy, hold out hand and demand that the ruined Man do the right thing and pay you.
