In Ferguson, Witness Intimidation, Lying by 'Community of Color'

On Monday night, after the release of the grand jury verdict rejecting indictment of Officer Darren Wilson in the Ferguson, Missouri shooting of 18-year-old black man Michael Brown, President Obama took to the microphones. “We need to recognize that this is not just an issue for Ferguson, this is an issue for America,” he said. “[T]here are still problems and communities of color aren't just making these problems up.”

Obama was wrong, at least in the case of Darren Wilson. In viewing thousands of pages of FBI interviews and grand jury testimony, it becomes eminently clear that many members of the local community did make up the story about Michael Brown being executed by Wilson – and pressured others to lie to police or keep silent.

According to the St. Louis County Police Investigative Report, the mob mentality took root almost immediately after the shooting. By the time detectives arrived at the scene of the incident, there was “a large crowd of bystanders and a large uniformed police presence at the scene when detectives arrived.” That crowd included both Brown’s mother and his stepfather, according to witness testimony. The police report states, “Many individuals were clearly upset and were expressing their frustration, by at times yelling obscenities and threats, and attempting to encroach on the crime scene itself.”

It got worse:

As the scene investigation continued, there were several large groups of hostile individuals around the perimeter of the crime scene. The investigation of the scene was interrupted several times by death threats directed toward police officers and gunshots being fired by an unknown persons around the crime scene.

According to the police report, a bevy of witnesses described intimidation from the local community, as well as falsification . . .

This was felony theft...what is called ‘Strong Arm theft’.

Actually when someone tries to stop you and you overpower them I believe that ceases to be theft and becomes robbery, a more serious crime than theft. Shoplifting a few Swisher Sweets would be petty theft but laying hands on the shopkeeper and shoving him out of the way is a much more serious matter than theft. I have never seen the term strong arm theft used before, I have seen and heard the term strong arm robbery many times.

Here’s the ‘colors’ that matter: there’s “American Black” and there’s “not American Black”.

In reality those who claim to be black range from a tiny percentage who are almost perfectly black to some who are as white as most Caucasians but choose to self identify as black and there are many shades in between. Anyone who actually IS black would be laughable if they called themselves white but someone can be pale skinned enough to be Swedish and claim to be black and get away with it.

True - my point was that the phrase ‘people of color’ is meaningless. Asians, Hispanics, American Indians, Indians, Chinese etc DO NOT ACT LIKE AMERICAN blacks. They can’t be lumped in with people who ‘protest’ by burning their cities down. That’s uniquely ‘American Black’. And it’s corrupt and horrible.

So there’s ‘American Black’ and all others.
