Ann Coulter: Would It Kill You To Hire More Black Cops? (Yes) Ann Coulter August 27, 2014 As the story of Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson’s shooting of Michael Brown begins to look less clear-cut than we were led to believe by Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, the “voices of oppression” on MSNBC now say the real issue is that there aren’t enough blacks on the Ferguson police force.

Ultimately they failed. Try as they did, the liberal liars at the Washington Post weren’t able to hide the most important fact about Michael Brown’s savage attempt to kill Police Officer Darren Wilson. What the WaPo could not bring itself to report until after it had obscured the truth with over 2000 words was that the autopsy performed by the federal government, the third such procedure, confirmed that the “eye witness” in the case lied. The dead thug was not shot in the back while he was on his knees with his hands up peacefully surrendering to the Officer’s commands....

Recent analysis shows that Michael Brown’s friend Dorian Johnson, besides being Brown’s accomplice in the convenience store robbery just minutes before, may have also helped Brown in the physical fight against officer Darren Wilson which took place at (and inside) Wilson’s patrol vehicle. This is completely contrary to Johnson’s statements portraying himself merely as a witness to the fight. It’s also extremely important news, which the corrupted news-reporting profession refuses to report. The unpaid super-sleuths at The Conservative Treehouse are once again blowing to smithereens the usual left-wing race hoax media narrative: Just as they did last year, when they...

An ABC News affiliate in St. Louis reported that Johnson is wanted in Jefferson City, Mo., on a 2011 theft charge and also for filing a false police report that same year. Johnson allegedly gave a bogus name and...
