Despite holding off Thursday, Ferguson police still decided to release the tape Friday over the Justice Department's objections, according to CNN.

Gosh, hard to believe, eh? So tomorrow, blindsided by this report, the Obama pushback will begin. He won’t do it, he’s too busy sponging off the US taxpayer.

Does anyone bring up the ‘snitches get stitches’ angle?

I’ve been saying it all along. The feds are behind the worst of the “blunders” by the local police.

The police need to realize that the feds are not their friends, and to assume they have their own agenda.

I can’t find the study and the Mods deleted all of the links but I read it here on FR after Katrina.

It stated that a young black woman would be safer in Reliant Stadium with 70,000 white men than she would be at a family reunion.

Says a lot for these people.

Not that I’ve heard much of, saw it painted on a building in a post a day or so back, but that’s it.

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can’t walk down our own streets, how humiliating.” - Jesse Jackson

The justice department says they don’t want the tape of the robbery released because it could enflame racial tensions. The truth is they don’t want the full truth out there because if the people see what really happened, then racial tension might die off which is against everything Eric Holder stands for.

Some were complaining about why the tape was “withheld” for so long, why did the Ferguson Pd do that? Thanks for posting. “IT WAS THE FEDS”!

Too bad that vid in my post #94 didn't get some air right off the bat, it might have nipped some of this BS in the bud. Shoulda gone right to the proverbial 'cloud' and from there, everywhere.

Either fatboy had a death wish or thought he could take that cop, no way a rational person is gonna rush an armed opponent like that. Paging toxicology! We need your report! Watch that be suppressed as well...unless it's squeaky clean and I bet not!

“Who are you going to believe - Obama and Holder or your lying eyes?”

The violent thug, who was shot and killed by a police officer who claims self defense, is proven on video to be a violent thug. I can see why the professional racists would not want that video released. They want him to be seen as innocent, just like unarmed Sweet Baby Trayvon.

Yep, and I think we’ve about had our fill of these ‘dirty players’ in gov’t. It’s mind-boggling all the crap they pull and get away with. The whole pack of them are probably the bastards who got away with sh!t like that in school and just grinned about it. Just like our beloved Grinner-In-Cheif [sic] We all know them, then and now. Arrgh...

I have never seen (since I’ve been alive), an Administration that controls the Press like this one and a “Free Press” so willing to cover for this Administration.

Yeah, that Michael Brown was a real bully boy. After the robbery he then walked down middle of the street in a threatening way.

“Who are you going to believe - Obama and Holder or your lying eyes?”

That has a certain, shall we say, rather Clintonesque tone to it.

One thought just came up--all these thugs have one thing in common--they started early. They're all dirty! They have no saints to put into the fight, they couldn't pass a smell test fresh out the shower! Bank on it...

I know, it's like, WHY? Oh, to be a telepath for a few...[Counselor Troi to my really ready room!] (Sorry)

And who controlled and had the press cover for them before our time? Why, the communists and the nazis, that's who, and you know what happened to people who didn't play their kind of ball, don't you? Maybe it's just good, old-fashioned fear, somewhere between losing-your-job/losing-your-life--I don't know.

The Justice Department wanted the “gentle giant” lie to stand unopposed... they worked against the truth coming out.

The “Justice Department” should be renamed the “We Stand With Criminals & Thugs Department”.
