Ferguson PD Video Backfires; Brown Seen Paying For Cigarillos

Posted by | August 18, 2014 22:07 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


A hat tip to our good friends at AATTP and YouTube user Wango Tango. The Ferguson PD has a lot of explaining to do.


Ferguson police’s attempts to demonize Michael Brown, the unarmed African-American teen killed by Officer Darren Wilson, may have hit a small snag. The very video they released at the same time as they identified Wilson as the officer responsible for shooting Brown six times, including twice in the head, may show the opposite of what they…

    Low reading comprehension, much?

    Actually, the payment is pretty clearly visible. You, on the other hand, might well consider seeing an opthamologist.

    • ISeeApes August 19th, 2014 at 13:38

      When, exactly? The original video at youtube says “At 36 seconds you can clearly see the clerk clasp currency in his hands.” and anyone who actually watches it can clearly see that no such thing occurs as claimed by you libtards. You should rename your website to “Naive Gullible LibtardLand”.

      Oh yeah? Take it up with Brown’s partner-in-crime, Dorian Johnson.

    There are entirely separate arguments at play here. One the justified/unjustified shooting of an unarmed black man and the people who feel the need to protest what they see as a crime and who have a perfect right to do so and three the people who play into Fox News’ narrative by taking the opportunity to loot business and steal and burn down places. It doesn’t matter that they are the minority. You think Fox News will make the distinction for its viewers who are already primed to think that all black males are thugs?

      The cigars were behind the counter. In order to get them, he had to ask the clerk for them. Then he stole them, as his friend has now admitted. http://www.ksdk.com/story/news/local/2014/08/15/attorney-dorian-johnson-michael-brown-robbery/14118769/ smh

          That word comes from the attorney for Dorian Johnson, speaking to MSNBC. Police in Ferguson had earlier announced that Brown was suspected of taking cigars from the convenience store in what was described as a “strong-arm robbery.”

          How obtuse can you be? Would you prefer I used the word “confirmed” instead? Geez.

          • dave-dr-gonzo August 19th, 2014 at 16:22

    If most of the MSM is so liberal then why hasn’t THIS video been shown or even talked about on tv? At this point I don’t know how much it really reveals or helps in the investigation or if it contradicts the first video where Brown is seen pushing the clerk…

    At the 36 second mark, what I see is the clerk come out from behind the counter with his hand out. I don’t see any currency being exchanged at all.

      That’s because no currency was exchanged, at all.

        I think you need to look up the word “reportedly”. If there was evidence of a crime, Johnson would be charged with accessory.

        • wutwut August 19th, 2014 at 15:33

          It’s up to the store clerk to press charges, for DJ to be charged with a crime. Store clerk could feel in danger of consequences for filing charges against Johnson from the local community. I mean… they are rioting…

          • whatthe46 August 19th, 2014 at 16:19

            don’t be stupid please. if the clerk called the police you’re suggesting that there would have been a riot? that’s the problem. ignorance. your ignorance.

    • dave-dr-gonzo August 19th, 2014 at 16:18

        Sorry, Dave. I’ve tried my flatulence (gasses) and my bifocals (glasses), and there are no dead presidents or plastic cards going back and forth. The cashier did not get paid and is coming around the corner because of that. This video feeds cleanly into the other video, shot from another angle, where the clerk gets pushed.

        Nope, doesn’t happen.

        Brown approaches the counter with nothing in his hands.
        He has things in his hands after he reaches across the counter — was he keeping his cash over there?

        Brown then puts those things back on the counter, and that is what the clerk scoops up at the 32 second mark, when Brown begins walking away.

        • Paul August 19th, 2014 at 15:13

          Also, for the record, I posted “reportedly” exactly once, because Disqus does not allow you to post the exact same comment twice in one thread. I DID post several variations of my point, which I maintain is a valid one.. If you think I’ve done something wrong, perhaps you should reevaluate your criteria for moderation because if one jackass and his sockpuppets can get away with posting the same BS link over and over again, I should be able to post a rebuttal each and every time without being scolded.

          • Carla Akins August 19th, 2014 at 15:16

            No it’s was driving me crazy. Most readers review more than just their comments, they look at the entire thread. You posted some variation of the same thing 5 times.

              Some people, mostly trolls, have more than one account, some have many accounts with different names and email accounts. Some like to make up new accounts days after being banned, some just like to talk to themselves and up vote their own comments.

                Wow no kidding!… I suppose it could give the impression that more people think a particular way… making something seem more popular than it is in reality. I had a feeling things like that went on, but didn’t want to ask… I also have a feeling that some people are paid to sit and post all day, skewing the subject to, again make something look more popular than it is… have you ever heard of something like this? Or am I just paranoid? lol
