well, at 10:50 pm eastern, the police have moved in their vehicles and started to try to disperse the crowd again. visible rocks and other objects are flying
...”is not medically well is my gut reaction. I am surprised more people dont talk about it. It is very noticeable”....
Might be why the vacations and extension of them...could be his health. I went back a year ago and beyond and you can see his weight decreasing....
He’s thin anyway but he’s starting to look more than thin. Stress will do that as well.
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.
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.
I understand the autopsy Holder ordered was done by the Us Military and completed Monday.....which likely showed Holder some facts possibly yet missing....and why he's going to Ferguson to speak with the “Police Officials” there to see what they have as facts from the happening.
Interesting they did not mention Holder meeting with the Protesters at all. So I'll assume at this point he's there to see the facts from the event and confer with the authorities only.
....might be also trying to determine how to present what they know without further outcry from the protesters because they are not in the mood for facts that might disagree with what they really want....Wilson's arrest.
Right now, the regime thinks they are stirring the base with no consequences to what white vote they have left. If Holder is seen with protesters, the political fallout would be disastrous. Remember what was happening in America when Nixon was elected in 1968?
Unfortunately by giving this event the media attention...and Washington's attention...the black community is convinced now more than ever that this is how to be heard...so it will continue to be “their means” when they've reached whatever level their mental and emotional tolerance of their own lack of responsibility for their life has reached exhaustion...and the need to blame society is at a peak....
LOL, Genius!!!
Police have moved the protest site and media site just south of where it has been.

Nothing on local news yet. Fox2 news comes on in 30 minutes for the 9pm cast
Looks like there are people in the old protest areas, not sure if LE is going to force them to move to the old Ford Dealership or not.
...in ANY morning.
