MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #5

[Snoods]

Snoods, history has a way of repeating itself... For those of us that lived through the 1960's and the many protests and riots since..This has been rather tame in comparison...The biggest difference now is social media communication. The American public didn't have access to Facebook til September 2006. My fear is that this may metastasize to other cities if it is allowed to continue...deja vu..

I couldn't agree more in regards to the social media aspect. People already made up their minds about what happened before they even knew the facts, thanks to SM.

There were protesters outside Houston Police Headquarters today.

Don't forget to watch the rebroadcast of Nancy Grace tonight...
The Brown family attorney is well worth watching admit the wound to The hand was a close contact wound and the gun discharged in Wilson's vehicle after more than a tussle!!!!

Thank you for the heads up... fox is re-running earlier coverage, and Jake Tapper is not reporting, he is running for a future office, imo.

eta: Why do y'all think some of the protesters are wearing gloves? hmmmm

Reading this made me laugh, imagining him being cross examined by some of my fave attorneys. He would be mincemeat befre he even got to the main testimony. I wonder why Crump allowed this guy to weasel in and nullify the 'professionalism' that comes with hiring a veteran like Dr Baden.

This 'assistant' is all over the tv shows now saying "Dr Baden and I, we think such and such..." =bad move

Well, this is his personal "15 minutes" of fame, IMO! He gets to rub elbows with the great Dr. Baden, then speak as his personal, authoritative mouthpiece on TV interviews, etc. He is IMPORTANT, da#@m it! A forensic farce to be reckoned with. An autonomous autopsy authority, dagnabbit! He is VALIDATED by being associated with this case. He is the velveteen rabbit-- he is now "real". (With apologies to any velveteen rabbits out there.) And cue the music from "Rocky."

Haha! That's not really my dog, I just thought it was such a cute dog dressed for Halloween as a martini! See the olives? :toastred:

I agree. I just posted the same thing. lol

Your doggie looks exactly like my Roxie. She hates those cones too. lol

Hi Silky! I haven't seen you for a while.

Thanks for the article, it's not surprising.

 

[JLSChook]

Just heard the reason they removed the reporters so fast was there was a bomb threat in the area. (allegedly)

http://www.ustream.tv/realalexjones

Oddly enough, he is talking to the guy from Argus

 

[gramcracker]

Johnson will share some unpleasant truths re the media at his upcoming press briefing

 

[JLSChook]

I think there's going to be another presser, like last night. Tim is gone to bed so I'm on this one

[gramcracker]

I need 8 eyes and 8 ears: NG is on, Rachel Maddow is on, Johnson's press briefing is coming up. sheesh

Well, I don't have much to say, lol! Just tuning in since this morning. I think Baden did what he was hired to do. Part of the "deal" in hiring him (IMO) was the LIMITED and controlled release of what he found in his exam, thru the filter of those that hired him. He's a respected forensic pathologist-- they needed that to release the findings in the way that they wanted to present them. There is nothing earth shattering (or difficult) about what he found-- that the victim died of shots to the head. It's the bending, folding, spindling, mutilating, and twisting of those findings to try to make it fit the "shot in the back while surrendering" narrative that is so offensive to anyone with an IQ above 70, IMO. The incessant search for the elusive and magical zebra, while the horses are stampeding all around.

He said all the shots were fired from the victim's front. Other ME's have pretty much agreed with him. He with-held a lot of info at the request of those that hired him. He determined that MB died of the shots to his head. It's other people who are trying to bend, spindle, fold, and mutilate his words to somehow make it somehow magically, or remotely "possible" that MB was either surrendering or running away. That just isn't what the evidence shows, in Baden's opinion-- and a lot of others who have weighed in (such as Dr. Case, who did the county autopsy.)

And the Purcell guy-- pffft! He is qualified to "own" his business, and hire other qualified and credentialed providers to do the work, and nothing else. He has exactly zero credentials to comment on forensics, do any component of any autopsy, or speak in any authoritarian way about any findings. He's not EVEN a qualified professional funeral director! He would be shredded in a deposition. Yes, I know he somehow was qualified as an expert a few times somewhere, but he has been on the razor thin edge of legal conduct for a long time. He's lucky to not be charged with crimes for his "work". He is not respected. He has a general studies bachelor's degree in life sciences-- and is not credentialed in ANY field. He's a completely unqualified, uncredentialed hack for hire. (And did I read he's trying now to get into chiropractor school.....so he can call himself a "doctor", maybe??) There is no such thing as "on the job training" with no appropriate educational credentials, to call yourself a "forensic autopsy assistant", or whatever the heck he made up in his own mind and put on linkedin. Guy's an idiot-- and should not be given one single second of media attention or coverage. My veterinarian is more qualified than he is-- heck, I may even be more qualified than he is, lol! He's a joke-- really. He's a business owner, not any kind of educated and credentialed professional.

Thank you for taking the time to post this. I agree with everything you say. From your previous posts, I have learned to value your opinion. I just can't figure out why Fox New Network and CNN keep doing interviews with Parcells. I do think Dr Baden will tell the truth if he is allowed to report his findings. Dr Baden has not changed his report that MB was shot from the front. In the past, I have heard CNN and Fox anchors in interviews with Dr Baden try to sway him to fit their agenda. Dr Baden usually speaks his mind.

I set the DVR to tape Nancy Grace's rerun since I missed it earlier. I am too tired to watch/listen to her tonight. I did read posts that NG asked some pretty tough questions when she interviewed MB family attorney.

[momrids6]

[Linda7NJ]

This link shows many of the media outlets that posted the officer's address, home, area, and map to it; smh

Ya know that saying, "if it bleeds, it leads" the media doesn't care whose blood it is...

Careful what you wish for Mr. Tapper.
Me thinks he is in for an eye opening experience.
