In Preparation For Tonight's Ferguson Decision

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As America holds its breath for tonight's (expected) grand jury verdict over the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown - by police officer Darren Wilson on August 9th - Missouri officials have said they have reached an understanding with protest leaders, as NY Times reports, on the conduct of demonstrations expected after the decision whether to indict Wilson or not comes down. Despite this 'understanding' it is clear that law-enforcement is 'prepared'...

  • *ST. LOUIS MAYOR FRANCIS SLAY SPEAKS AT FERGUSON PRESS CONF.
  • *SLAY: NEED TO PLAN FOR FERGUSON PROTESTS REGARDLESS OF OUTCOME 
  • *SLAY: `IMPRUDENT' NOT TO BE PREPARED FOR `WIDESPREAD UNREST'
  • *SLAY: VIOLENCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
  • *ISOM: POLICE DEPT. HAD SENSITIVITY TRAINING OVER PAST 100 DAYS
  • *ISOM: OFFICERS TRYING TO WORK ON RESTRAINT, HAVING PATIENCE
  • *SLAY: WILL GIVE PROTESTORS CHANCE TO COMPLY BEFORE ARREST
  • *SLAY: POLICE WILL RESPOND IF PROTESTORS BECOME AGGRESSIVE

 

As ABC News reports,

The FBI has sent about 100 agents to the St. Louis area to help deal with any problems that could arise from the grand jury decision in the police shooting of Ferguson teenager Michael Brown.

 

In addition to the FBI, other federal agencies have also mobilized staffers to get to St. Louis today, sources told ABC News.

And this...

 

As NY Times reports,

“If protesters are nonviolent, police will not be aggressive,” Mr. Slay said. “When demonstrators are being civilly disobedient, they will in most cases be given a chance to adhere to the law before being arrested. And then, if necessary, they will be arrested in a nonviolent manner.”

I can buy 2000 at a freaking home depot and not even dent their stock.

 

they dont plan on arrests.  They plan on violence.

St. Louis County Police Chief Timothy Fitch visits Israel for counter-terrorism

 

St. Louis County, MO (KSDK) - St. Louis County Police Chief Timothy Fitch will be part of a national delegation of law enforcement officials traveling to Israel next month to study counter-terrorism tactics.

 

Over a weeklong visit, the delegation will learn how Israel's police, intelligence and security forces prevent terror attacks, and includes visits to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Tiberias. Law enforcement will be briefed by members of the Israel National Police, the Israel Defense Forces, among others.

 

The trip is part of the Anti-Defamation League's National Counter-Terrorism Seminar.

This is all Reality TV at its best.  The media works up the one-sided story about the evil white guy killing the innocent black yoof to an already high-strung negro populace - and wait with bated breath for the fireworks to erupt.  If it weren't all so pathetically contrived, it would actually be funny.

The grand jury should just keep the protestors hanging. Let them sit out in the snow and ice for a few weeks and see how their ranks hold-up. Then, sometime just before Christmas (when all the out-of-town rabble rousers want to be home with their familes), on the coldest morning forecast (hopefully in the midst of a huge winter blizzard) announce the verdict and see who shows up to protest...

FBI arrests 2 men for buying explosives near Ferguson 

The FBI arrested two men Thursday night accused of purchasing explosives 
they apparently planned to use during protests in Ferguson, Missouri, a law 
enforcement source told CBS News. 

The men, who live in the St. Louis area, are allegedly members of the new 
Black Panthers. They were arrested as part of an FBI undercover operation 
near Ferguson and intended to use the explosives in pipe bombs, the source 
confirmed. 

The suspects, whose names were not released, were arraigned in federal court 
on Friday.

The Feds against a minority of course but it was never even gonna be close, it never is given time & reason & facts.

From DoJ trying to suppress the video of "the poor innocent kid" robbing another minority to (I don't know, four autopsies now) showing all frontal hits to his blood being found in the cop car corroborating the cop's story of events to the usual No Justice, No Peace! mantra. 

Doesn't anyone find it slightly odd that the Feds create and/or feed "a problem" and then offer themselves as a solution?

And on another level, if we are going to allow "eyewitnesses" to walk away after feeding this thing, we might as well hang it up...they lied about what happened and helped the Feds deception.

"And on another level, if we are going to allow "eyewitnesses" to walk away after feeding this thing, we might as well hang it up...they lied about what happened and helped the Feds deception."

 

Two white construction workers from outside the area were recorded just after the incident saying that Brown had his hands up when he was killed. Without additional evidence I'm not prepared to say what the implications of that might be but it does add credence to the other witnesses' testimony.

Doesn't make a difference to me what "color" the construction worker was however you and I both know the gesture the construction worker made in describing what Brown did (as an act of "giving up") is a sign of WTF motherfucker. Its generally acknowledged across the globe that when someones pointing a gun at you, you put your arms & hands straight up IF you are surrendering.

So how did the cops shell casing get in his car if Brown didn't attack him in his car? Furthermore, how did Brown's blood splatter get in his car? By then, there's people all over the place, watching. There's no time to plant either without being observed I would think.

And again, we're not talking anymore about some innocent guy being hassled to "get on the sidewalk"...we now know he had just committed a strong armed robbery...which Holder tried to get the local cops to suppress which they refused to do and put it out.

Thats where the robbery video came from, the locals.

"Doesn't make a difference to me what "color" the construction worker was"

 

The point is that as white guys from outside the area they can be seen as less prone to making up a story in order to support a homeboy. It has nothing to do with the veracity of white over black but rather a lack of motive for familial protection.

I agree that the rest of the evidence looks bad for Brown, good for Wilson. I only intended to address your point about supposedly lying witnesses being held accountable.

Thats fine, my only point was one of the "main witnesses" was with Brown during his robbery and had his face splattered all over the news saying his bro had been basically murdered, which isn't true by everything we know now, by evidence, other witnesses and multiple autopsies on Brown.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/11/us/missouri-ferguson-michael-brown-what-we-know/index.html

He's a lying sack of shit, a robber and if it had been my store I would have shot both of them in the face and we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

"[...] the new philosophy takes its bearings by how men live as distinguished from how they ought to live; it despises the concern with imagined republics and imagined principalities.  The standard which it recognizes is "low but solid."  Its symbol is the Beast Man as opposed to the God Man: it understands man in the light of the sub-human rather than of the super-human.  The scheme of a good society which it projects is therefore in principle likely to be actualized by men's efforts or its actualization depends much less on chance than does the classical "utopia": chance is to be conquered, not by abandoning the passionate concern with the goods of chance and the goods of the body but through giving free reign to it."

In a move to preemptively diffuse the potential destruction of an adverse trial verdict, Ferguson city politicians have decided to undertake a radical plan.

Knowing that music is a great unifier and the one thing that transcends racial division and material inequality to promote brotherhood in all men, they have boldly drafted the services and talents of world class musician whose past is not just rooted in Missouri but birthed in Ferguson itself. 

So when the the crowds of angry, frustrated youths frustrated by the manipulations of class warfare rise up against their ghetto imposition they will not confront an army of truncheons and jackboots. The police have been ordered to stand down.

Instead, they will face one man....alone, save his electric organ...and his intoxicating musical stylings...the Ferguson-born Ambassador of Peace!!

US Police Get “Anti-Terror Training” in Israel on Privately Funded Trips

"...Shakeel Syed, executive director of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California, described the tactics he sees American police use today as “a near replica” of their Israeli counterparts.

“Whether it is in Ferguson or L.A., we see a similar response all the time in the form of a disproportionate number of combat-ready police with military gear who are ready to use tear gas at short notice,” Syed said. “Whenever you find 50 people at a demonstration, there is always a SWAT team in sight or right around the corner.”

"...Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said professor of modern Arab studies at Columbia University, said the seminars reflect a militarized mindset diametrically opposed to traditional police-community relations in the United States.

“If American police and sheriffs consider they’re in occupation of neighborhoods like Ferguson and East Harlem, this training is extremely appropriate – they’re learning how to suppress a people, deny their rights and use force to hold down a subject population,” said Khalidi, a longtime critic of the Israeli occupation.

He pointed out a fundamental difference between the American and Israeli justice systems: Jewish residents fall under Israeli criminal law, but Palestinians are subject to Israel’s military justice system. Khalidi said Americans are learning paramilitary and counterinsurgency tactics from the Israeli military, border patrol and intelligence services, which enforce military law.

The most tangible evidence that the training is having an impact on American policing is that both countries are using identical equipment against demonstrators, according to a 2013 report by the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem and photographs of such equipment taken at demonstrations in Ferguson and Oakland and Anaheim, California.

Tear gas grenades, “triple chaser” gas canisters and stun grenades made by the American companies Combined Systems Inc. and Defense Technology Corp. were used in all three U.S. incidents, as well as by Israeli security forces and military units.

Footage shot by activist Jacob Crawford in Ferguson last month revealed law enforcement used a long-range acoustic device that sends out high-pitched, painful noises designed to scatter crowds. Israeli forces first used such devices in response to West Bank protests in 2005, according to the B’Tselem report..."

If you ever get the chance to speak to police - you'll find many of them have been sent on paid junkets to Israel to experience "terrorism" first hand.  The entire thing is a sector of the tourism industry here - only the American police think that it's real and believe the bullshit that Israelis tell them.  They come back to the US feeling like they are a part of something big and important.  Oh yah they are - they were just Zio brainwashed to carry out orders in the US.

What I learned from Ferguson is that it is all the fault of QuikTrip, a car wash, and a mall 80 miles away for police brutality.

And that convenience store down the road, where Mike Brown stole the swisher sweets from, man that shopkeeper is a snitch, cuz.

The other thing I learned is that an AR-10 rifle looks "bitchin" when it has a flashlight, laser, bipod AND tripod on it.  That's so tactical, I don't know where to start. Pic of that cop's setup!

THX, for bringing up the Swishers. I guess those individuals (idiots) chose to ignore a pretty critical piece of evidence. They also chose to ignore the other video taken at the scene with a bystander giving a play-by-play commentary of the events as they unfolded. He fought with, ran, then charged the cop.

 

IMHO, it stopped being about the shooting the second the cops pulled out the sniper rifles. The justice dept also did everything in their power to fan the embers into a roaring bonfire.

 

Support a fallen thug, but ignore the real issues, which is pretty much anything other than this. I'm not a religious person but tonight I'll make an exception and pray for -50 degree temps. And a meteor,

Try and fan the embers the next time you are in the hood and feel the need to express your first amendment rights in suggesting the brothers might look for a job......dare ya. The people demonstrating are not interested in expressing their opinions as much as provoking a fight, a fight they know they will never win but will provide the same effect the Palestinians hope for every time the fire some rockets Israel's way, dead "innocents" in the street. Makes great headlines and generates a lot of public sympathy...just like we see here. And the best part is it serves the progressives in the exact same way to but to even greater effect, whereas they can publicly come out supporting these poor dead "innocents" while also making damned sure the police are fully funded and trained to do exactly what they are TOLD to DO. Create chaos and then offer our only savior...even if congress fails to act, right? A little Dictatorial action to create justice in the vacuum? Some executive orders suspending any prosecution of minorities until an oversight committee can adequately review the "facts"in the case?

I mean something has to be done about racial injustice given the Republican's failure to act. Maybe some sensitivity training while we are at it. Maybe some engagement rules like Iraq and Afghanistan where the cops can't shoot unless they are fired upon first, and as the demonstrators have requested, they can carry no lethal weapons, not even rubber bullets, no protective armor, or much more than their skivvies inside of the minority protected zone.

dude those arent the same things. Yes, you can handcuff someone with a zip tie, or two zip ties together if you want it to not be really uncomfortable, but these are plastic flex cuffs, specifically made for the purpose of handcuffing someone, and are one time use like zip ties, but they are not what is sold at home depot. Im not defending any of this, don't get me wrong, but flex cuffs are prefferable for several reasons. Mainly, if you only get one handcuff on a person, but the other is free, any semi experienced person knows how to turn it into a deadly weapon and "fish hook' you in the eye or throat. Not so with flex cuffs. Also, a single pair of cuffs can be used many time on many people, where as flex cuffs are one time use.

I am reminded of an incident that happened during the Iraq invasion in 2003. A US marine told the story in his own words and I think the interview footage may have been used in Fahrenheit 9/11 if memory serves. Shortly after the invasion, a group of marines in Southern Iraq came across an Iraqi guy who was unarmed, hadn't basically done anything wrong. Just someone in the wrong place at the wrong time. With no orders about what to do with civilians, the marines decided to cuff him with plastic cuffs around a tree because they thought it'd be funny and deal with him later. Fired up by all the lies they had been told about 9/11 and Iraq, they tightened the cuffs for extra punishment on the poor fellow. When they returned a few hours later, they found that his hands had turned black and gangrenous. The hands later had to be amputated and I don't know whether he survived the procedure. It takes mere minutes for that to happen and the pain is unimaginable. They are not restraints - they are instruments of torture.

The point is, lawlessness is pernicious. Cruelty, violence and lawlessness by paramilitary forces begets more of the same in a never ending cycle. That applies to protesters as well as law enforcement, but when you have a population full of morons with little or no self control brought up on the flawed notion that violence is a solution to complex problems, planet of the apes riots and extrajudicial executions by self-appointed "heroes" masked like cowardly ninjas become a way of life.

I've been to enough protests to know that a) I will want to make my point by peaceful means b) There will be agent provocateurs working for the security services planted in the protesters to incite violence so the police can have their fun. Nothing is as it seems. We live in a convoluted shitty world where the most sly, violent, criminal bastards get more powerful and wealthier by the day, and honest decent people suffer as a result.

This is where I'm working at the moment.

WICHITA, Kan. (CBS St. Louis) – Wichita police say a woman was sexually assaulted, hit on the head, and set on fire Monday night in Fairmount Park.

According to police, the woman was on the ground, almost in a crawl, barely moving, and naked.

The woman was helped by a neighbor – Johnnye Marshall woke up her boyfriend Deon McPherson when she heard somebody scream for help.

“What if that was my daughter?  I’d want somebody to go in and get her,” McPherson told The Wichita Eagle.  “Where there wasn’t blood, there was a burn.”

The flames from the fire were about 2 to 4 feet high.  McPherson stayed with the woman until firefighters arrived.

"Been seeing a lot of 'nonviolent arrests' lately where the perp is detained in the morgue."

My favorite is arresting someone for resisting arrest, where there is no other charge. So the police have nothing to charge the guy with, they just beat the hell out of him, then they cover themselves for the injuries inflicted during the false arrest by charging the victim with resisting an illegal arrest.
