I've not heard any main stream media even suggest the surveillance video isn't relevant.

Good 'ol TMZ, a tabloid who thinks it is okay to stalk celebrities and their children with cameras, really shouldn't be pointing fingers.

With the exception of FOX the msm narrative being pushed is it was wrong to release the video and that it was an attempt to "smear the victim". Have you watched any coverage from CNN?

The following tweet from CNN commentator is typical of their talking points:

wow. Protesters outside of CNN’s headquarters upset a/b the smearing of Mike Brown. #Ferguson http://www.ajc.com/news/news/rally-downtown-in-memory-of-missouri-teen-michael-/ng48x/ … pic.twitter.com/U1nTLdtEQ3

Being female doesn't even come close. Check out Jim Crow if you have time and laws of segregation. I knew of some elements, but was floored by what I didn't know.

My sil is working on a PhD, focusing on desegregation of schools in her GA county. I was transcribing one of the oral histories she'd taped with a revered AA band director, first at the "colored" high school, then at the newly integrated high school. He told about going to a music conservatory in Boston for his undergraduate and then masters degrees, fully funded by GA taxpayers. He didn't opt to get a PhD, but if he had GA would have picked up the tab. Though there were very few college options in GA available to blacks, all expenses were paid (including room and board) to any school outside of GA where a black student was accepted, all the way through a doctorate if desired. Hard to reconcile that program with the evil Jim Crow laws, but I listened in amazement as he told the story.
 
Off Topic but perspective: On CNN now it is being reported that ISIS has taped the beheading of American journalist James Foley. What is this world coming to?

Sorry, it just snapped my perspective a little, I hope it does the U.S. President as well.

(been on the road for mtgs). This is the statute:

http://www.moga.mo.gov/statutes/c200-299/2110000321.htm

I will excerpt relevant parts:



So, court records can't be obtained, except by court order, to persons having a legitimate interest. If a child is charged with an offense which would be a class A if committed by an adult, murder in the first, second degree or capital murder, the records may be obtained. Moreover, after a child has been adjudicated delinquent for an offense which would be a felony if committed by an adult, the records are to be open to the public to the same extent that records of adult criminal proceedings are open to the public.

Do you know if that changes after their death?

When a person is deceased I wonder if all juvenile records can be made public? From the above statute it is clear records of serious offences by juveniles are open to the public.
 
I hope Wilson is not charged with any crime. That being said, I feel Holder & DOJ can conduct a fair & impartial investigation.
 
Isabelle said:
While traveling earlier to day I heard the report given by Josie, the friend of Wilson's SO and heard her say Brown punched Wilson in the face. This is first I heard of this, thought Brown pushed car door and that hit Wilson's face. Anyone else hear about Wilson being punched in the face?

Of course.....even MB's family's attorney stated that they had a significant tussle or something to that effect.
I never heard it stated (or even assumed) it was the officer's car door that cause the alleged orbital blow.

There was a coordinated effort yesterday by some blogs to say that MB actually paid for the cigars. They are getting desperate because they know the facts are not looking good for him.

Bloggers have helped fan the flames. The ABC evening news on Friday opened with a story about Ferguson. They showed a portion of a sentence of Wilson's police report that noted he had heard the BOLO description. I believe bloggers may not have received the packet of materials police shared with the media.

"I will meet personally with community leaders, FBI investigators and federal prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office to receive detailed briefings on the status of this case."

Why is a meeting with the St. Louis County Chief Prosecutor/DA, who's investigating and gathering facts to present to a grand jury, missing from that list?

If they follow their usual script, the next step is to remove the current prosecutor and appoint a special prosecutor. You will notice they have already had stories in the MSM disparaging the current prosecutor.

Sorry for the confusion. I was quoting an article about the background of the Attorney General. The federal civil rights charges I was referring to was against George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case.

I don't think there is confusion. The fact is AG Holder is investigating civil rights charges against officer Wilson just as the DOJ investigated Zimmerman for civil rights charges (Federal charges against Zimmerman were not laid).

I will be surprised if Federal charges are laid against Officer Wilson but the mere fact that Holder has opened an investigation is offensive in itself and is an example - IMO - of reverse racism. If Officer Wilson was black there is no way the DOJ would be sticking it's nose in this case.

TMZ was accusing the media of not admitting the surveillance video had "relevance." I've seen no media report the video isn't relevant.

I would imagine the FBI already has all the information they need. jmo

Wow, just getting caught up. Very interesting to me is the condemnation from the majority of WS'ers towards this young man that was killed. Why is there such a hate on for this kid? There are NO answers right now, nobody knows what went down, if you are one of the many in here that seems to be filled with so much rage towards this boy, maybe you should really take some time and ask yourself why? Where is that hate coming from? .... Very strange reaction here IMO

No rage toward MB from me. My rage comes from what the media has been trying to shove down my throat, along with Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, The New Black Panthers, Crump, et al. who have an agenda that has nothing to do with MB.

I will always feel rage toward people who tried to hide or disguise the truth, no matter the race.

I feel rage toward the thugs who are looting, rioting and stealing in the name of 'justice' for MB when all it really is is an excuse to condone their criminal behavior.

I feel rage over the pictures of the peaceful people of Ferguson who walk the streets everyday, with a smile on their faces, picking up the garbage left behind by the dregs of society.

I feel rage over the countless children of Ferguson begging to go back to school.

I could go on and on with more, but I think you get my point.
