We have covered this misunderstanding and claims of inconsistencies thoroughly in previous threads.
To sum up, before they released the information about the robbery, the chief said, accurately, that Officer Wilson stopped MB & DW because they were walking in the road.
That was true.
As soon as they went public with the robbery connection, he simply added further information (since he could then come out with it all), maintaining consistently that they were *initially* stopped for walking in the road, and in addition, Officer Wilson was aware of the robbery and realized during the encounter that MB matched the description of the suspect.
I've seen Huffington post's determined attempts to say he lied and/or wasn't consistent about this too, and it makes my blood boil, because I don't believe for a moment that they accidentally misunderstood or forgot the timeline of events.

I just don't buy the changing story.
I believe if he knew about the "robbery connection"- film or none- he would never ever have said the stop was just the walking in the street. ]If he knew the basics of the shooting, he would know how the enounter began. And he would have said something about it. He desperately wanted everyone to believe it was a good shoot, but he left it out.
MOO.
SBM BBMHe did lie. He stated there were numerous requests. He gave the impression that he was inundated by FOIA requests, and this is theonly one that can even be construed as meeting the criteria of his statement. ...
not invested here, but interested. because the atty(s) described wanting to look at MB's prior record as "'character assassination." surely, the absence of a record could not result in character assassination? surely, the absence of violent or menacing offenses could not result in character assassination?I find it laughable and sad how much people are invested in MB's juvenile record from 3 or more years ago, and his toxicology report.
Yes, the Chief lied in great detail, in order to justify sliming the young man. I think people realized that and the revised story about OW being aware of the "robbery" (called in as shoplifting, btw) were PR BS, and it inflamed things. It was a very poor choice. MOO.
The Judicial Watch FOIA request (Scribd link) actually defines the time period of their request as August 1, 2013 to Aug 9, 2014. Anything in that time frame related to MB.

Good God, how in the hello can HuffPo interpret that as a "lie" by Chief Jackson??? Really does boggle the mind. It seems to me all they want to do is incite a race war, and to inflame the passions of intellectually vulnerable minds.
Interesting short video showing the location of the 6 homicides (all very close together).
The fact that there is NOT much coverage on the overpass shooting seems very odd. What little info is available states 1 or 2 masked gunman (wearing ski masks) sat on the overpass waiting for a car to come over the hill, they then fired at least 50 rounds from a semi-automatic rifle but apparently "missed their intended target" according to police.
How do the police KNOW they missed their intended target or that they even HAD a specific person targeted??? Sounds like the police know who they were shooting at!
Why isn't this story getting more coverage?

For his part, Jackson responded to a recent question about why he released the video with a statement issued by a public relations firm.
The statement said that the Ferguson Police Department had indeed received numerous requests for video footage that showed the strong-arm robbery that preceded the unfortunate incident involving Michael Brown Providing a clear, concise picture of the situation was all the police department was seeking in releasing the robbery footage on August 15th.

Are you (gasp) suggesting that the shooters had a particular target in mind?
Is there any information on the ethnicity of the shooters? This could be important. My son (walking to work) was stopped by the police one early morning, and they were about to bust him (in more ways than one) when one of the officers yelled out, "he's white". Very telling that. They let him go.
Police are searching for a dark-colored Dodge Charger with no license plates in connection with the shooting. A source familiar with the situation tells News 4 police are investigating multiple crimes involving a similar vehicle. The Charger was reportedly stolen Wednesday and was connected to several crimes in Illinois, as well as the strong-arm robbery of a set of earrings from Vincent Jewelers in Creve Coeur Thursday morning.
Police said the suspects in the Creve Coeur robbery were two African American men. Police have not directly tied the shooting to the other string of crimes.

I read through the various FOIA requests and found three separate requests for videos :
So as we see it is false for the HP reporter to claim that Chief Jackson "lied" about getting requests for video's. The problem was the inarticulate way that Jackson handled the press conference. He said there had been requests for the "robbery video". There were no specific requests for a "robbery" video only requests for "all video". I don't think Jackson tried to mislead the public. He is just poor at public speaking as we can see from the video of the bungled press conference where he is apparently so nervous that his hand is visibly shaking.

Something to consider is the source of this attempted smear of Chief Jackson. The HP report is based on reporting by Matthew Keys - a reporter with a controversial past:

Holy moly! You dug even deeper and look what more you found.
Do these pretend journalist even care that their lies can be discredited? Or do they just assume everyone will accept what they offer as truth?
