I just read on Reddit that the first half of the video was played on CNN. They left out the bums rush, doubling back, etc...
Shocking right?
I think they ought to have that woman who was the ME for the Christian/Newsome murder trials.
What she says is gold. You can take it to the bank.
Such a stellar groupBlack Panthers Lead Death Chant for Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, MO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwJrG2AMghw
Chanting:
What do we want?
-- Darren Wilson
How do we want him?
-- Dead
Gee, why am I not shocked the Feds would have preferred to keep the public ignorant and in the dark?
Personally I am thankful I saw that video. It certainly.
What's next? Offer the officer up to appease the crowd? A little sacrificial lamb? I certainly hope not.

bbmThis is the issue in a nut shell. In the bystander video there is a convo early on between "camera guy" and another bystander.
Bystander: "he was shot even after he was down"
Camera guy: what, they shot him after he was on the ground?!"
Bystander: "well, that's what someone said."
The bystander guy makes that statement as fact, yet in reality he's repeating what "someone said." He doesn't even state that someone told him directly.
Heresay at its finest, and sadly this is what the protesters are reacting to.
Eta:
Just to clarify, this is not the convo that is also being discussed later in the video.
Just curious...If Officer Wilson is married, and his "family" is in hiding, who is this "significant other" that is talking to people so that they will give out interviews ("Josie" for example....) The statements are iterations of what the "significant other" has told them. Bizarro. JMO

Someone posted it on the last thread. You can also hear people repeating stuff they heard, as fact.
Yes, I wish they hadn't named her.Fwiw, I saw in an article yesterday, (sorry, can't find which one), that Officer Wilson's SO is LE also. Someone else may recall seeing that.
JMHO

Wilson now lives in Crestwood, a quiet middle class and almost entirely white suburb of St Louis in a ranch style house with a pool out the back.
According to public records he got divorced last year and moved into his current home with his new girlfriend.

It was released because of multiple FOIA requests. Apparently, there is no exemption that applied to the release of this information. So I am not understanding why Capt Johnson or anyone felt the need to criticize the release, why address it at all imo.

Not as a sacrificial lamb, if wrong doing did occur, I'd hope that justice is what people seek.
If this was indeed a 'bad shoot', the officer needs to answer for his actions, no one is above the law..IMO
It's all really very childish / teenager like. It appears many of these adults have not matured emotionally.
About two years ago a husband was holding his wife & children hostage in my neighborhood. Police were everywhere, SWAT and huge amoured vehicles were everywhere. There were sharp shooters on rooftops!
The teenagers ( my son included) were out front swapping tales about what they had "heard" but doing it as though they had first hand knowledge.
It's was all really exciting I suppose to teen boys. I had to yell and threaten children that weren't even mine because they wanted to SNEAK PAST the police line to see what was going on. Most wanted to appear to the others that they were the authority and in the know.
The truth was... No one knew what was happening until way late that evening when it was all over.
That's what this reminds me of....

St.Louis Public radio "St Louis on the air" will have a legal panel discussion of the shooting and aftermath on Monday at noon (central time, I presume). I will be listening. Hope others here do,as well. JMO
