Leaked testimony from Officer Darren Wilson contains nothing more than the same tired tropes of menacing black rage that have been used for centuries to brutalize black youth.
As Ferguson and the nation waits for a Grand Jury announcement on whether Officer Wilson will face charges for killing Michael Brown, a well-timed leak about the ‘violent attack on police’ and his ‘fear for his life’ are straight from the playbook we see every time police murder one of our black children. Classically, we see the murder, the re-murder in the form of character assassination and the demonization of a grieving community.
The only difference in Ferguson has been the inability of police to get their lines straight.
Given the unflinching intransigence of police and authorities, and the highly irregular approach to the Grand Jury process, very few people expect to see charges laid against Officer Wilson, let along for justice to be done.
This community will continue to do what it has been doing since day one: demand answers and justice for another fallen black child, led by the brave young people who have refused to bow down even in the face of tanks, tear gas and the cross hairs of snipers....

Plenty of time for “leaks” like these to inflame the locals so they are at fever pitch when the “no-bill” comes out. If that happens to occur just before the election, then we’ll see if Obama & Holder have made Ferguson their pilot project in cancelling elections via federal martial law.

Standard leftist hate America crap.

The Black Klan have to lynch the White cop for justice.
Pray America wakes
Oh, pound it up your a$$.....
“it is abundantly clear that federal government will not bring charges against Officer Wilson...”
Please, black man. It’s been more than a year since George Zimmerman was acquitted — after local police correctly realized they didn’t have cause to arrest him — and he’s still looking over his shoulder at the “Justice” Department’s minions operating in his town.
The feral animals of the black subculture kill more black children on a single Saturday night than cops do in a year
Absolutely void of any hint of personal responsibility for one’s actions. The lesson doth continue.
Obama and the wookie version 2.0
P.S. Milli Vanilli lives!

I love the way they write these stories as if they’re legitimate while the writer flat out lies.
Gooney Google Gus!
Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murder.
It’s like the Simpson jury-can’t tell them nothing. What I can’t understand is these people going to bat for low lifes like Travon and this what’s-his-name.
That’s a man, Baby!
The st louis american............leading most trusted voice of the african american community, Really!
“Standard leftist hate America crap.”
Standard COGIC crap. Thank goodness they moved their annual convention to StLouis from Memphis.

Darren Wilson will be cleared just in time to mobilize the black vote to stem the republican landslide.
