A former Missouri police chief is publicly saying that the Justice Department is actively leaking reports that it has found insufficient evidence to support federal charges against Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. There is certainly a long and controversial history of the Justice Department leaking stories to the media to pressure targets or to prepare the public in otherwise secret or confidential investigations. While threatening witnesses and others over any disclosures, the Justice Department does not hesitate to make such leaks for political purposes. The question is whether the recent uptick in leaks is such a campaign. There has been an increase in such stories coming from unnamed Justice sources and former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch says that the evidence has supported the officer on a number of points, including a struggle within the cruiser.
Fitch says that the Administration is seeking to “coordinate leaks to the media, and to start getting some of the facts out there to kind of let people down slowly” because they have concluded that charges are “probably very unlikely.”
While he is not required to appear before the grand jury and the vast majority of targets do not appear on advice of counsel, Wilson appeared for hours. The New York Times reports that he gave an account of a struggle inside of the car and a sharply different account from the statement of Michael Brown’s friend, including an autopsy that says that Brown was shot at close range consistent with the officer’s account. The Times reports that forensics tests showed Mr. Brown’s blood on the gun, as well as on the interior door panel and on Officer Wilson’s uniform. Wilson also reportedly has photos of injuries to his face and neck following the struggle.
There are many who believe that the Obama Administration is signaling that no charges will come from the investigation — with many preparing for the possible unrest and violence that may follow such an announcement.

WordMess ate a comment of mine.
I quoted Michael Mark Cohen, a professor.
I asterisked out his unhallowed speech not considered proper here.
Nevertheless, WordMess did its thing.
What next, banning Shakespeare?
free, he was actually more than 90 feet from the cruiser. One of the earlier lies from FPD.
No thanks, bettykath.
I don’t watch propaganda.
=====================
You generate it.
Cool. Now we have descended to the “I’m rubber. You’re glue” level of discourse. I’ve missed Pee Wee Herman. 🙂
No thanks, bettykath.
I don’t watch propaganda.
Brown was probably murdered and yeah they will cover it. But people who talk about white privilege make me want to puke, all over them. Shut up and put on your big boy/girl pants already
Lets not forget the fact the guy was killed 40 some feet FROM the cruiser. What happened in the cruiser is irrelevant.
The youtes who perpetrated the above taped removal of this young girls personal possessions shouted racial epithets about “White B-words” moving into the neighborhood.
This is course not classified as a hate crime.
That is of course another important manifestation of white privilege.

‘White privilege’ simply means you get to be blamed for everything bad that ever happens or has happened.
Feel-good racism for lefties.
See, they’re not against tyranny per se, they just want to run the trials.
White privilege??? How about black privilege??? To wit, an Irish Poem!
Hue and Cry???

Black Privilege has it own perks,
Like looting and acting like jerks!
And if someone shoots you,
It’s because of your hue!
I guess reverse racism works!

The youtes who beat and robbed the young girl in Crown Heights on October 2nd in that video posted above are kids who are getting their life together and will be starting college soon.
I am sure.
If they get caught.
But if they are taken in for questioning it is axiomatic that the only way to support them is to burn down a Quickie Mart and a liquor store.
Andrew Branca does some fantastic analysis at Legal Insurrection. He practices the law of self defense.

I love outliers, even if I disagree w/ them.
Pogo, You should have heard her during the Zimmerman trial. Yikes! She left in a huff never to return. Now, I am glad bettykath has returned and I have told her that sincerely. She is an unabashed champion of black, right or wrong. She eat, sleeps and drinks the white privilege meme. She is all in.
Nick – that ‘white guilt’ must be eating her alive.
BK, I have seen video of the store robbery and the forensic evidence indicates a struggle for the cops gun. What is the spin?
“white privilege”
bettykath also believes in unicorns, yetis, and garden fairies.
Tedious, bettykath, incredibly tedious. But, I have always respected your tenacity, no matter how misdirected.
omg, I forgot. This is the site where white privilege prevails.
nick, you’re buying the spin. sad.
bettykath, Michael Brown was 1 for 2 in his confrontations that evening. Not bad in a baseball game, but fatal when you lose confronting a cop and trying to take his gun. I bet Brown’s buddy never makes that fatal mistake.
