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.

No, if the black eyewitnesses tell the truth, they will be crucified by the Howling Bloodthirsty Liberal Lynch Mob as Uncle Toms, and less than Black, etc.

“Seven or eight African American eyewitnesses have provided testimony consistent with Wilson’s account, but none of them have spoken publicly out of fear for their safety, The Washington Post’s sources said.”

Dredd, they seem to only understand Spinglish.
Dredd, your word salad is incomprehensible.
I’ll take everything you wrote as a compliment.
Or else as a recipe for a three bean burrito.
Hard to tell.
Everyone can’t flee their home nick. Then you have Detroit. Or now I guess Ferguson, Mo. Just sayn’
Do you know almost 80% of Americans cannot name the capital of Canada. Well, they can now. So, I guess that’s a positive. Jihadists can educate better than union teachers.

The evolution from left to right has sucked up the ideology of the nurturing parent model and is become the strict father ideology.
The Big Brother ideology.
(The Nation As Family, PDF). Pogo has met the enemy but can not handle the truth, so the denial led to us vs them.
The liberal Pogo met the enemy and realised it was us and urged his fellows to work it out together.
This is history we won’t see again as we decline.

Here a group of “youtes” in the same Crown Heights neighborhood decide to do a little shopping three weeks ago.
Crown Heights is where the riots occurred that led to the rise of the Reverend AL Sharpton and the demise of Mayor David Dinkins. It has been relatively peaceful under the pro-active community policing of the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations.
That of course has come to an end.
It is De Blasio time.

IMO, The only newscaster worth a damn on cable is Jake Tapper on CNN. I have Dish Network. Instead of seeing Jake I see the dull/normal Alex Wagner!! Dish and CNN are having a pissing match and so Dish cancelled CNN. They have MSNBC in that slot, along w/ its regular slot. I’m sure it’s to piss people off because who TF wants to watch Alex Wagner, spit mouth Chis Mathews, the Incredible Shrinking Al Sharpton and the rest of that horrid lineup?? The answer is only those suffering traumatic brain injury and Communists. Dish better settle this soon because there are other options. See, there is no freedom w/o choice.
No, it just wants to be the devil.
Precisely Dredd, we hear the ‘isms’ directed at us on a daily basis. ‘Liberal-ism is the Devil!’
Can’t discuss the topic at hand, Obama leaking stuff to the press.
Gotta sow discord and change the subject.

Typical liberal discourse, i.e., name-calling, shouting, baiting.

and phobias, we gots that too. Homophobes, you know, and all that.
Oh, ‘haters, that one’s always useful.
