YUP … ON BOTH SIDES

There’s a big scoop up on The Missouri Torch  exposing the exploitation of the ongoing unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.

“Opportunistic radical groups from across the country are flocking to Ferguson, Missouri to take advantage of the death of Michael Brown, a young black male shot by local police,” the outlet reports.

According to the Torch , the rioting, looting and protesting in America’s heartland is being egged on by – among others – communists.  In fact the outlet has posted video and photos of an individual by the name of Greg “Joey” Johnson, a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA who has been in Ferguson dialing up the violence.

In fact, the party’s official mouthpiece has been expressly urging protesters to ignore pleas for calm.

“This is no time to ‘calm down,'” the party’s official website states.  “It is time to step up the struggle.”

“Fight the power!” the website adds.

Interesting … 

So to recap, we’ve got communist agitators on the ground in Missouri … fighting against a militarized police state (subsidized with fiat money) that seeks to suppress individual liberty and prosperity at every turn.

It’s hard to pick a side in this one, isn’t it?

Now there are more than a dozen eye witnesses that have corroborated Officer Darren Wilson’s version of the way the shooting took place. This is not about seeking justice for a defenseless, unarmed gentle giant of a “teenager”. It’s about getting a new pair of sneakers, taking out some frustration because they’re pissed at the man for not paying them more for the shitty service they render at the local McBurger joint and otherwise chimping out like they’re a part of a zoo exhibit gone wrong.

I warned in a post on a different story on a different site that this might spread and it has. Saw a story that “protestors” were trying to access the police headquarters in St. Louis last night and that stores in surrounding neighborhoods (local to Ferguson) were being attacked. This has nothing to do with Mike Brown anymore, now it’s about what can they get away with, who can they hurt.

There is a ton of misinformation on both sides, and people on both sides are being very selective about what they choose to believe and what they choose not to believe.

this is not about a Black man dying, if so all the news trucks would be in Chicago

The media doesn’t care about Chicago or wherever else because murders in Chicago/elsewhere are commonplace, and it is hard to sensationalize something that is commonplace.

This is a potential case of police brutality (key word being potential) that has conflicting witness testimonies and other oddities. Add the protests, the rioting/looting, the overly-militarized police, the journalist being arrested, the way the police is releasing some information but withholding other bits, the fact that an independent autopsy had to be done just to figure out how many times the guy was shot…

And you’re surprised the news trucks lined up for this shit instead of a normal Tuesday evening in Chicago?

Reply
The Colonel August 19, 2014 at 10:15 am

Smirks, I might go further on a couple of your assertions:

“… media doesn’t care about Chicago or wherever else because murders in Chicago/elsewhere are commonplace… and reporting on the failures of Democratically controlled (since forever) Chicago goes against their general narrative.

“…the fact that an independent autopsy had to be done just to figure out how many times the guy was shot… just demonstrates that in our 24 hour news cycle and the rush to judgment people have forgotten that an ongoing investigation should not ever reveal any facts (number of shots, who did what) until ALL the facts are gathered. The initial autopsy will also indicate an accurate report on the number of shots but it hasn’t and should not have been released yet. The press is complicit in the riots.

We now live in a world where criminals are celebrated by wealthy athletes and police are criticized for not protecting communities and for over-protecting communities.

The best question that I think sums it all up is why can they not simply protest during the day and go home and rest at night? Unfortunately the answer would be practical and logical and too many Americans reject those principles. There is a growing element in this country that is pushing us towards a race war and it’s not the police or the people who pay for the majority of NFL tickets.

Excerpts from this article—

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/19/opinion/haberfeld-why-six-bullets-fired/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

————————

To put what happened in Ferguson in proper context, we need to understand how police officers are trained. The overwhelming majority of police departments in the United States train their officers in what is referred to as “continuum of force,” which views confrontations with the public as a series of stages.

It starts with an officer’s mere presence or spoken instructions, and becomes steadily more coercive, from the use of commands (“disperse;” “put the hands up”) to physical force, with things such as batons, Tasers, pepper spray, and finally, if all else fails or an officer’s life is threatened, deadly force. That is, bullets.

An officer need not go through each and every stage of the continuum. It is left to his or her discretion if and when to skip any or most of the stages. And it is important to emphasize that, even when an officer opts for deadly force, it is never intended to kill the suspect but to eliminate the perceived threat. Since police are trained to shoot in the center of the body, the use of this force will often result in death.

Researchers have shown that under the stress of a deadly force encounter, a series of physiological changes occur. Visual perception becomes seriously impaired: Up to 70% of the peripheral vision is affected. This visual impairment often creates an inability to assess how many shots are needed and if indeed the suspect has been incapacitated to the point of posing no more threat to the police officer or others.

They are trained as soldiers and expected to perform as social workers at least 90% of the time. And then in a split of a second, they have to be soldiers again. It’s quite a trick.

” I will post this to SC Blues immediately.”
Thanks CIC – seems odd that The Gateway Pundit seems to be the only one reporting this – and that the article is relying on unnamed sources. Wonder why the Ferguson Police Chief stated that the officer suffered “a swelling on the face” and was treated and released from the hospital? I certainly hope he was not injured this seriously.

Here is how The Gateway Pundit describes themselves:

Today The Gateway Pundit is a leading right-of-center news website. The Gateway Pundit has 4-5 million visits (Sitemeter) each month and is read by over 600,000 individual readers. It is consistently ranked as one of the top political blogs in the nation. TGP has been cited by Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Drudge, The Blaze, Mark Levin, FOX Nation and by several international news organizations. Jim Hoft was awarded the Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award in 2013.

Holy shit…if that pans out it so sucks for the narrative endorsed by the riot / victimhood / looting / shoot-each-other-up parties.

I wonder what al Jazeera’s coverage of Le Affaire Ferguson is like?
