Robbery Tape Humiliates Media's 'Gentle Giant' Narrative (Michael Brown/Ferguson, Missouri)

Breitbart's Big Government ^ | August 15, 2014 | Ben Shapiro

I wonder if Nancy Grace will treat the Brown story as she did the Travvon Martin story, where she essentially ignored the overwhelming evidence against Martin so as to earn her race-baiting stipes, or ‘street cred’ with Al and Jesse.

Now we see that Brown, like TM, is no Saint.

Overheard on the interwebs:

Have you ever noticed how in election years, some local police blotter item that can be spun as supposedly proving a vast national crisis of white racist violence against innocent blacks seem to become the most important new event of the century for awhile? For example, in 2006 there was the Duke Lacrosse Case, in 2012 12-year old Trayvon Martin was wantonly gunned down by a white man from across the street, and in 2014 there’s Ferguson, MO, a place I have to admit to never having heard of before this month.

I'm guessing this is part of an organized media effort to drive up the black vote in an election year. And the odds are that folks anticipating a GOP landslide might be unpleasantly surprised when the election returns come in.

why the idiot police department wasn’t immediately forthcoming with the facts confounds reason

Maybe because they are legally required to get all their ducks in a row before releasing information to the public. They have been a little busy, what with the riots and all.

[Jack Hammer]

Oh, well - guess I sound too much like the mainstream press....

[Uncle Chip]

Maybe getting all their ducks in a row before any announcement.

Meanwhile someone is cooking your Christmas goose.

I'm not buying that -- from hour one the press was asking the police for answers that they were perfectly able to answer from the start and which would have quelled the situation.

Old Narrative: Gentle Giant

New Narrative: Giant Piece of Crap

Just to help you catch up, here is the latest info from today.

Turn that frown upside down.

You have posted some the best articles I have been privileged to read on FR, I was just having some fun at your expense.

Please forgive me if I have offended.

[Jack Hammer]

No, no, no - not frowns here; just having some fun.

And thanks.

[UCANSEE2]

from hour one the press was asking the police for answers

No they weren't. They were out filming the rioters, and the police were out trying to deal with the rioters. I do not remember any MSM source asking "Did Mr. Brown commit a crime prior to the incident?"

I don't remember the MSM even asking where Mike had been before the incident. I don't remember any Freepers asking either.

let me be the first to admit it; I bought the line the media fed me

I applaud your honesty. As for why this wasn't released earlier: they are facing an avalanche of lawsuits and a national press looking to rip them apart over even the most trivial of errors. Their primary goal is to conduct a thorough and objective investigation (translation -- take their time). Their secondary goal is to protect themselves from this upcoming assault (translation -- don't say anything unnecessary, and anything that can't be 100% defended in a court of law). No where in their job description is it their job to save people from race pimps, their allies in the press, and the hordes of useless idiots. If those three groups of people choose to start riots, the culpability lies with them, not the police department. If people choose to believe any of those three groups, they, not the police, are eligible for the Darwin award. But heading these leeches off at the pass is not what the police department is charged with, and is incompatible with their actual job.

I cannot take Nancy Grace seriously. And it’s not the obvious reasons. Every time I look at her I think she looks like Jan from “The Brady Bunch”. I think that some time during one of her shows she’s gonna throw her notes in the air and start screaming “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!”

There, I said it.

she looks and acts like a very bitter woman and her voice worse than chalk on a chalkboard

[going hot]

When renewing ccw, the instructor hammers home the point:Never say anything to anyone, especially the police. Talk to an attorney instead. Never converse with the police.

We all know that. The question is why?

The answer is that anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

I think the police themselves know that full well.

Next up is Los Angeles. Protest planned for Sunday. Similar incident ... possible similar media coverage.

This is starting to hurt us in our souls. You can’t even trust Brietbart anymore, since they assassinated The Man more than a year ago. Since then the site has been compromised and corrupted. The video that they are showing is from four years ago, because I remember watching it way back then. The man in that video is not Michael Brown, the young man who was gunned down for jaywalking. That’s right. He wasn’t stealing a car or robbing a store, he was just crossing through vehicular traffic. And the mean cracka cop confronted him and gunned him down for it, with lots of witnesses watching. You don’t have to believe me. The truth will come out, eventually, in spite of how the old media and the new media have been corrupted.

The “Gentle Giant” was actually a “Giant Problem” and now he’s been solved.
