*Such a sweet boy*
No information on the investigation – including the name of the officer
involved – will be released to the public until all witnesses have been
interviewed. County Prosecutor Bob McCullough (Democrat, but very honest
and forthright gentleman) does not want any eyewitness testimony tainted by
the medical examiner’s report. (For those of us who have interview
backgrounds and watch entirely too much CSI, that’s means *there are
conflicts between what the witnesses have been telling the media and what
the coroner found*.) - Cultural Limits, posted yesterday, August 14, 2014

I guess they finished interviewing all the witnesses. And, yeah, there's
conflicts.
So, for those of us out here in the heartland who have been waiting for the
police to finish what TV shows manage in an hour and in real life takes
weeks, the impatient among us - that would be most of the country - were
demanding answers from a police force and county prosecutor's office that
wanted every t crossed and i dotted. (Just in case there's a trial or
something. After all, Dorian Johnson is still alive.)
While we are due to get more information this afternoon, maybe, and it
appears that the municipal and county police (that would be the Ferguson
Police Department and the St. Louis County Police) were responding to
Sunshine Laws or some such excuse the media and the mob are using to demand
details that put the officer involved AND the integrity of the
investigation at risk when they released the name Officer Darren Wilson, a
six-year veteran with no disciplinary record. Well, and a strong-armed
robbery report that featured one Michael Brown, deceased, with Dorian
Johnson in tow on candid camera committing a class B felony.
*This tidbit was out on social media all week, but where the theft happened
and what was stolen changed depending who was telling the story. I saw he
stole cigarettes at the QuikTrip and his girlfriend snitched, which
obviously was not the case. Can't always trust the Air Jordan Telegraph.*
What happened after Officer Wilson encountered Mr. Brown and Mr. Johnson is
yet to be released - and the theory in this house is that there's forensic
evidence still being tested - however, going along with the questions a
number of thinking people have posed:
- How DOES an officer sitting in a squad car reach up and grab a six
foot four, 292 pound man behind the neck and pull him into the vehicle?
- If, as it has been asserted, that Mr. Brown was shot in the back, why
is there no blood on the back of his shirt in the photograph of him lying
dead in the street?
- If, as some "witness" has said, Mr. Brown had his hands up when he was
shot multiple times in the front, why is the body in the picture on his
front and why are his hands under him? From a physics perspective, that
would be an interesting answer.
- How is a six foot four, 292 pound man not a lethal weapon himself?
(Remember, Officer Wilson was injured.)
Details, details.
For those of us who do not do police work and do not know the amount of
time it takes to work a crime scene properly, it's real easy to second
guess all the "missteps" taken by our authorities since Saturday. Yes, the
body was on the ground for a long time. But it takes a long time to be
thorough. Also, none of us were shot at on Monday night, which prompted
the full scale riot gear that went into the garage. We didn't have bricks
or bottles thrown at us, either.
(Don't for a minute kid yourselves that Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri
Highway Patrol is anything more than changing the window dressing. He and
the city police might just walk among the crowds, but they'll get out the
heavy artillery if needed. Johnson is a smart man with a gift for
communication, but he's still a cop, and they WILL use force to take
control.)
It also takes a long time, on occasion, to get witnesses to cooperate.
Especially if they are publicly lying to all media outlets who will listen
for lack of exclusives and the police have video evidence of said witness
committing a felony with the "victim."
So, getting all the information in a place where that part of the
investigation was not in jeopardy took time. Maybe they used an abundance
of caution, but better safe than sorry.
So, now we know at least WHY Michael Brown was stopped...and based on his
behavior in that video and other pictures that have surfaced over the last
few days, it's a good bet there's a record of more such activity somewhere.
In the meantime, some details that the national media is glossing over:
- Missouri allows for grand juries to charge individuals with a crime.
In the case of Officer Wilson, the county prosecutor has indicated he will
take any evidence to the grand jury and determine if there is enough
evidence to charge him with anything.
- Gov. Jay Nixon, before he was governor, was state Attorney General for
a lot of years - and did a fantastic job. He knows the score and will step
in only when necessary.
- The distinction between city, county, municipal, and state police has
not been made. The actual City of St. Louis is not a part of St. Louis
County and as such has its own force - ultimately under the control of the
governor, due to a whole lot of past corruption. Most municipalities in
St. Louis County have their own forces in addition to the county police
which patrol the unincorporated areas and the municipalities that can't
afford their own. The state police are, well, state. Why this is
important is that the SWAT/militarized equipment belongs to the county and
the state. Wednesday night, there were just as many state troopers in that
police line as everyone else. None of that stuff belongs to Ferguson.
- The "college" where St. Michael was going to go to school is a
technical/trade school.
- The "cigars" Brown and Johnson stole are supposedly used to mask the
smell of marijuana.
As things develop further in the coming hours, there of course will be
more. In the meantime keep the St. Louis Metro Region in your prayers as
the rhetoric within the community has gotten increasingly ugly.
*Hoping that Officer Darren Wilson is down in the Ozarks at somebody's lake
house with a fishing rod and a lot of bait.*
