MO - The Shooting of teen Michael Brown *Media, Timelines Maps* No Discussion

[Klood-N]

Leaders from the Ten Point Coalition, an Indianapolis-based anti-crime group, are heading to Ferguson, Mo., this week to meet with members of the troubled St. Louis suburb’s faith community.

Harrison said Ten Point ultimately wants to help Ferguson brace for the results of a grand jury investigation into Brown’s death.

Ed Magee, spokesman for St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch, said that that cases are sometimes scheduled for the grand jury when a witness is unavailable. He said that no decision had yet been made in the case, but said that prosecutors would "take a look at it." Magee also said that the case could not proceed if Wilson did not testify.

Magee said that there are about half a dozen pending cases involving Wilson, and prosecutors would be making decisions on a "case-by-case" basis.

Wilson then ordered Brooks to get on the ground. Brooks refused and was pulling away, Wilson claimed, until Wilson pushed or pulled him down and called for help via his radio from other officers. Wilson reported that Brooks was yelling for his cousin to “get” Wilson.

A detective filed an addendum to the report saying that Brooks admitted that he had six or seven ounces of marijuana in the PT Cruiser, and that he sells it at $5 to $10 a bag to support his family. He also admitted that he thought the pills were Xanax, and he was also planning to sell them, the report says.

Wilson requested seven charges, including three drug charges, as well as resisting arrest and assaulting an officer.

Johnson has also been charged but has not arrested.

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.

A judge approved prosecutors' request Monday to send the case involving an arrest by officer Darren Wilson to a St. Louis County grand jury. But a spokesman for Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch later said that the case is "on hold" until Wilson's status is resolved.

At one point Sunday night, about 300 people gathered on South Florissant Road across from the Ferguson police station.

That prompted some protesters, such as Ferguson Democratic Committeewoman Patricia Bynes, to say the crowd was being manipulated into negotiations to quell the protesting. Bynes said police started the tactic Thursday, promising to release arrested people earlier if the protesting died down. But she said they did not deliver on those promises.

“We should not be negotiating with them about our basic rights,” she said.

Bynes said the arrested were being treated more like hostages to intimidate and manipulate protesters, noting they were targeting regular protesters for arrest who show up night after night.

Masri, 27, is open about his traffic-ticket problem and says he has been arrested approximately 40 times for moving violations -- mostly for driving without a license. It all started back when he was nineteen and got into a car accident without insurance. He was ordered to pay $50,000 in damages, but he couldn't come up with the money. As a result, his license was suspended for fifteen years.

"They left my car on the side of the road, and everything got stolen: my clothes, my iPad, my equipment, everything got stolen. Gone," he says.

Bassem Masri, a St. Louis native who works as a distribution manager by day and an activist journalist by night, is suspicious about the arrest

Ed Magee, the spokesman for the St. Louis County prosecutor, told msnbc that the case was originally transferred to the grand jury on Sept. 6 and that it had nothing to do with Wilson’s failure to appear on Monday. Magee said that following the Brown shooting, all cases in which Wilson was a main witness had been placed on hold and that Brooks’ case somehow “slipped through the cracks” and wasn’t flagged at the time.

Magee said the prosecutor’s office decided shortly after the hearing to add the case to the hold pile

Magee said the move is part of the “normal process when there’s an investigation ongoing.”

In the report, Wilson wrote that he didn’t use his weapon and relied only on “hand control and the positioning of my body weight.”

Magee said prosecutors are still in the process of presenting evidence to the grand jury and that they are meeting several times a week. He said there should be no concern that the grand jury currently seated and hearing the Brown case will also be juggling other cases connected to Wilson or otherwise.

“The grand jury that is hearing the Brown-Wilson case, that’s the only thing they are hearing,” he said.

When Wilson failed to appear in court for Brooks' preliminary hearing Monday, Brooks' attorney, Nick Zotos, speculated that Wilson's "lawyers are basically advising him, 'do not appear.' There’s no up side for him to come into court and be under oath."

With police saying Brooks has confessed to selling drugs, it's not clear what effect Wilson's absence will have on the case. According to the Post-Dispatch, Brooks had posted on Facebook that he anticipated the charge would be dropped.

And if Wilson isn't indicted when the Brown grand jury returns its findings -- possibly in November -- Zotos speculated that Wilson might once again be willing to show up and testify about the February 2013 arrest that earned him an award.

Tyrone Parker said he feared the community was about to hit a "another boiling point" as a grand jury weighs possible charges. “I don’t see nobody that has calmed down yet,” he said.

“It goes without saying that [Wilson] should be incarcerated, there should be procedures, a protocol that should’ve been followed, hadn’t been followed, so that’s where the anger comes in.”

Jackson also said he’d like to see political leaders in North St. Louis County “not incite additional protests.”
