Key report in Michael Brown shooting doesn't exist, Ferguson police say

'James Ginger, a national expert on police practices and procedures, reviewed Ferguson’s use-of-force policy at Yahoo News’ request.
“I don’t see anything in the policy that excludes filling out the report for any reason,” Ginger said in a phone interview. “It’s a violation of established policy.”

From the start, Chief Jackson has been chided for waiting a week to identify Wilson. A basic police report on the fatal shooting was delayed 12 days. It was largely blank and omitted the “name of the victim and immediate facts,” which Missouri law considers to be public. Other Ferguson police reports related to Wilson have been released to Yahoo News with the names of arrested persons and other required details redacted, also a violation of state law.

"Cooperating with the representatives of the Department is one of our highest priorities,” wrote the city clerk, who suggested that the reporter check back next month. A DOJ spokesman told the Argus that its investigation shouldn’t prohibit Ferguson from complying with public records laws, which include immediate inspection of arrest reports.'

They were charged with failing to disperse and resisting arrest.

According to a Ferguson police official, that crowd would not leave South Florissant Road.

Those arrested were taken to the St. Ann jail for processing because the Ferguson Police Department jail is still under construction.

The incident sparked coverage by 44 news organizations, a community and two federal investigations, demonstrations, rioting and looting, and President Obama mentioned the incident in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly.

“I’m glad nobody was killed,” she said. “There are people who don’t know how to contain their rage.”
Eligon said, “There were young people there who wanted to confront police.”

Law enforcers showed restraint, Replogle said.
“There were hundreds of gunshots in Ferguson,” Carson said, and police showed restraint. “It was still non-lethal force being deployed against potentially lethal force.”

The event was organized by the north Jersey chapter of the National Action Network, the organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton.

The protesters held signs, waved flags and at times held their hands in the air, yelling, "Hands up! Don't shoot!" a reference to the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old African American who was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in August.

"It's going to take young people with a sense of awareness ... to fight for ... an agenda."

Beauty Town has an elaborate video surveillance system that displays 16 angles of the store, but the cameras are better at capturing crime than at preventing it.

For the rest, he’s bought a gun. Just in case.

“They’re not going to be looting next time,” said Kevin Seltzer, 30, who lives at an apartment complex near where Brown, 18, was shot. “They’re going to burn the city down.”

Far from finding peace after a round of summer protests and riots, Ferguson remains a city on the brink, its nearly every step troubled. The last week has been especially fraught.

Earlier in the day, at Prime Time Barber Shop, barber Tommy Bradley worried that further protests would erupt after the grand jury issued its findings. Sunday’s demonstration was “pure anger,” he said.

Yet Emya McCrady, 23, a stay-at-home mom who lives in the Canfield Green apartment complex with her 4-year-old son, said she wouldn’t feel secure without a massive police presence when the grand jury decided.

The wounded officer was released Sunday from Barnes-Jewish Hospital. He had been shot once in the left arm.

Ferguson police officers began wearing body cameras on Aug. 31


On Sunday, however, police said the officer had seen just one man behind the Ferguson Community Center. When the officer approached, the man began to run and the officer followed on foot. During the chase, the man turned and fired at the officer, then disappeared into a woods behind the center.

Many were arrested for either not following orders from police or agitating the crowd, police said.

An off-duty St. Louis City Police Officer was released from the hospital Sunday evening after he was shot at while in a personal vehicle along westbound I-70 between Hanley and 170 early Sunday morning.

"The officer was conducting a routine building check of a city building that had closed for the night. A routine building check ensures that the building is properly secured for the night. At that time, the building was supposed to be empty. He was not expecting to have interaction with anyone and did not have his body camera activated for the routine building check.

He was suddenly attacked after interrupting a burglary attempt and sustained an injury from a gunshot.
Generally, the body cameras are utilized with any interaction with members of the public and in any situation when an officer feels it is necessary, and has the opportunity to activate the camera."

[h=1]Ferguson Demands High Fees To Turn Over City Files[/h]
Bureaucrats in Ferguson, Missouri, responding to requests under the state's Sunshine Act to turn over government files about the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, are charging nearly 10 times the cost of some of their own employees' salaries before they will agree to release any records.

From 9/27:

"All the hate's got to stop," Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson told a group of demonstrators after the shooting.

“They tried to apologize but they didn’t make much headway,” said Harrison. “Seems like the people that were there demonstrating really didn’t want to hear that. The only thing that seems to satisfy them is that the officer who shot Michael Brown being arrested seems to be the only thing that will calm them down.”

“What seems to be absent right now is the lack of leadership and you really don’t have anybody in charge and some of the people who seem to be speaking, in my opinion, are encouraging this kind of disrespectful behavior we are seeing right now in Ferguson.”

The public reaction was swift. The call for “vigorous prosecution” is “an outrageous rush to judgment” against Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson, wrote George Little, of St. Peters.

Law enforcement officers and their families took particular offense to Nixon’s comments: “They were rude, biased and unwise,” wrote Fresno County, Calif., Sheriff’s Deputy Chris Curtice.

"After all the violence last night, we're done," he told Daily RFT referring to the tussle between police and protesters Thursday night that resulted in several arrests after Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson marched with protesters.

By now, Wurm knows which individuals incite violence and which ones are protesting peacefully. He says after he told protesters they had to move early Friday morning, most of the people graciously picked up and left, but two boys told him they planned to throw bricks through his windows that night.

Alexander says he stopped working his jobs at Seoul Taco and at an auto body shop to join the protests in Ferguson. The group originally camped out at the furniture store and at Red's BBQ restaurant before setting up tents at the vacant Ponderosa.

Gray says she doesn't see an end to the protests in sight. "It starts with an arrest," she says.

During the discussion, Moore said that citizens shouldn’t start an interaction with police expecting to be treated badly.

“We respond to calls to help you,” Moore said.

He said black police officers stopped being black when they put on their badges, and told highway patrol captain Ron Johnson that he felt sorry for him because he was used as a symbol.

Johnson said he was selected to lead because he was the command leader of the highway patrol troop that has jurisdiction in Ferguson, not as a front man.

Jackson was joined by about two dozen officers from the county, Missouri Highway Patrol and a few FBI agents at the Greater St. Mark Family Church near Ferguson for what was billed as a community empowerment summit.

Nicole Gentry, an officer with the St. Louis County Police Department, said when there’s an incident involving police, officers are frequently accused of abusing their power. Meanwhile, people often look the other way at other crimes not involving police that happen more frequently.

Johnson told the crowd that it’s unfair to assume that all law enforcement agencies are rife with racists.

St. Louis police Officer Regiana Moore, who is black, said the problem starts in some segments of the black community where children are taught from a young age to distrust police.

“We have to bridge that animosity and the hate between police and the community,” Moore said.

A law enforcement job fair held immediately after the panel discussion attracted little attention from the public.
