btw, one of the analysts on CNN made a very good point.... The girl who shot the video of Wilson walking around after has given statements about the event.

The analyst said, and I'm paraphrasing "Her statements just go to show you why people should let the investigation complete before making judgements.... She wasn't even there for the actual shooting, yet is making statements that fit the narrative of info as it is leaked... There is no way for her to know the circumstances other than through the media"

Don't give me that tin foil crap. Take a look at things for a minute...how is it that these "organized protests" just conveniently pop up so fast?

So, CNN basically chastised themselves. Perfect

This ain't our first rodeo here in St. Louis. We have a well-developed network of angry citizens on all points of the spectrum.

Ruh Roh... This was mentioned a few days back. That the DA had witnesses corroborating the officers story, but the DA told them not to speak to anyone, because it would lead to trouble.


Shhh...

Well, he was an analyst, don't think he was actually part of CNN.... The opposing person, stuttered around and wanted to shoot down his statement so bad, but didn't.

With all this talk of grand juries and possibly trials...has Wilson even been charged? He has to be charged in order for a grand jury to be brough in correct?

Exactly. Also, people on this board have stated that you can't blame the police department and mayor's office for the actions of looters and rioters. If that's true, then you can't blame Johnson.


The looters are directly responsible for the damage they cause. The police department and mayor are responsible for mishandling the situation that allowed a situation to be created that allowed for the looters and rioters to create that damage.

I agree. I was just pointing out how the line of thinking can get inconsistent.

No an Grand Jury has to view the evidence and decide whether to charge.

Agree...

I've said over and over again that the thugs are responsible for their behavior, but there is no reason to provoke and agitate them.


The biggest thing I had a prob with was Weds protest that was 100% peaceful at 4pm and the local cops showed up with their toys and started instigating. There was absolutely no reason to do that. Everyone was calm and you even had older officers mixed in with the protestors calmly talking and discussing things.

Now once the thugs start coming out around 9-10pm with their bandanas on their faces, then it is time to ramp up and bring out the shields and batons

If the leak is correct and the DA has 12 witnesses who corroborate the officers story, there is no way they get a true bill out of the grand jury.

Following CNN and Fox last night, quickly reminded me why I stopped watching the news a long time ago. The media has been extremely irresponsible during these events. Trying their hardest to create division and race wars....

That's when these black leaders, who have been trying to keep things peaceful as of now, will turn the thugs loose.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation
Is the head dead yet
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry

[Instrumental Interlude]

You don't really need to find out
What's going on
You don't really want to know
Just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

(Kick 'em when they're up)
(Kick 'em when they're down)
(Kick 'em when they're up)
(Kick 'em when they're down)

(Kick 'em when they're up)
(Kick 'em when they're down)
(Kick 'em when they're stiff)
(Kick 'em all around)

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers
In everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the Innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done
We haven't told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry
