Consider the source.

Anyone have a more credible source for this

Fox news says the cop who killed Brown was white.

Also, a neighbor corroborated at least part of Johnson's story.

When there is no corroborating evidence, I always assume the cop is lying and the witness/perp might be. Guess who the tie goes to. (it is amazing how often in questionable police shootings the cameras and microphones aren't working, or the videotape gets lost)

It doesn't take much evidence to flip those presumptions around, and there's always evidence if you want to find it.

Saw somewhere a group of people tried to clean up the QT that was torched and got bitched at for helping Whitey and/or the White Man.

I'd hope that QT will find a better place to rebuild.

Pictures, and story about my LGS. Gun sales way up.

http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/08/12/gun-sales-up-across-area/

I can tell from the pictures that they're doing way more business. The last few times I was in there, it was dead. I wonder if it helps that it's right next door to another Quicktrip.

The gun store in Belleville they're talking about is in Illinois. I'm surprised there's not been an uptick there, as they are not far from other, high-crime, minority neighborhoods.

I heard the opposite comment today. Usually when there are witnesses, there is lots of cell phone video of at least part of it, but we haven't seen much in this case.

Long-ish article on the aftermath of recent events:

Police shot and critically wounded a guy who was allegedly part of a group with masks and shotguns wandering about.

A woman was shot in a drive-by.

The "Michael Brown" who's rap sheet was being posted was 16 and not the person who was killed.

Balog · « **Reply #116 on:** August 13, 2014, 05:02:33 PM »

Audio of dispatch during the shooting has been leaked. Claims are made that the cop did not report the shooting or call EMS. Not sure if true. Listen to the tapes? Ain't nobody got time fo dat.

It's not like any reasonable person could have guessed that might be the case considering that Michael Brown is such an unusual name

You know, discreet on-body spycams and 64G MicroSD cards are so darn cheap and plentiful these days, I have to call reporters downright lazy for not having video of claims like this. I could understand the alderman not having one, but if your whole frickin' job is to document things that some people probably don't want documented, you should have a pen cam, button cam and glasses cam on your person every time you leave the house, plus a couple of GoPros on the front and back windows of your car. Heck, we're talking maybe $1500 if you go high quality on all that gear, and it's the sort of competitive advantage that could easily result in a Pulitzer.

So buy it themselves and don't tell the boss. Then it comes down to the same way cops deal with it; "It wasn't on, the battery was down and I wasn't wearing it. Oh, and the memory card was broken into a thousand pieces."

Can't discover what was ground into confetti and burned in the fireplace one lonely evening.

Er, I mean "Can't discover what was accidentally erased or 'post-incident revealed equipment failures.'"
