What will the prosecutor do tomorrow? Refusal of indictment by Grand Jury could be tomorrow.

Don't get mad, I asked ya'll to sign the petition to get the prosecutor out, few brothers on here responded positively, I've been at both protests, in Clayton, and in Ferguson. Ya'll cats.

If this officer gets a slap on the wrist. It's over in STL.

The STL county prosecutor can put out the EVIDENCE he wants.

The thing that matters is Justice. Not how many guns I have.

Best of luck on the other end of this all.

I signed it a couple of days ago. But you know they're doing everything possible to protect this cop...

As I said earlier he left Jennings PD one year before it was dismantled for corruption, he knows things. They are going to protect him as much as they can.

An, thank you brother.

Thanks to BDR, couple of others.

Thing is if they get this done, as my understanding is, unless the FEDS are truly all in, if there is no indictment, then the county prosecutor can wipe his hands of it, and then there may not be CRIMINAL charges.

I hope the significance of this is not passing people by. That's a huge motivation to protect this cop (in addition to him being "one of the boys")...

You got insurance? :cool: I bet he does.

Dog, you know in years since that police department was dismantled, they spread, new jobs, better jobs, etc.

It's obvious if he snitches to the FEDS, ( Who LOVE snitches ). The whole of STL county might be connected.

Problem is, you'd have to have a helluva a lot on him to get him to snitch . . . so the county is trying to keep him away from Criminal charges, because they know the FEDS don't care about justice, just making the BIG advancing cases.

:cool:

I hope I'm absolutely wrong.

:hmm:

One thing that's obvious to everyone is that the whole local government (even up to the governor) seems to be a den of snakes. Definitely is for black people... :smh:

All this to protect one cop. That guy must know some secrets about that department for them to go to such great lengths to protect him.
 
I'm going to post the first significant tweet of this woman's account and then quote the rest. You can check the link to verify:

---We were breathing. The younf beother lying on my feet as I was holding him was not able to breath the cop told him to stop or he would

Shoot him. I tried to record but the cop had his finger on the trigger. We laid there until one Black officer said let them go we got who we

Wanted. In all my life I have never been so terrified. The young brother devin said thank you I think you saved my life.

An hour ago, Jessica Care Moore Talib Kweli, folks from the Fellowship of Reconcillation, Philp Agnew of Dream Defenders, Bgyrl ForLife


Malik from Occupy the Hood and Trymaine Lee from MSNBC and many others were chased like animals by the cops. We ran to get away and were


surrounded on a small path on bridge, surrounded by all types of police and told to lie down and put our hands up. We complied and we were


told if we did not stop moving we would be shot. We were breathing. The young brother lying on my feet as I was holding him was not able to


control his breathing he said "I'm choking" the cop told him to stop or he would shoot him. I told him "try not to move, just lay still I


got you." The gun was at his chest. I looked at the cop and said "please, he is not doing anything" I tried to record but the cop had his


finger on the trigger. I could feel Talib's hand on my back and Jessica behind me. We laid there until one Black officer said "Let them go,



we got who we wanted." In all my life I have never been so terrified. The young brother Devin said thank you I think you saved my life.


What is going down here in #ferguson in all my years of activism, organizing, I have never seen. This is a war zone, a military occupation



and our children are the cannon fodder. The white boy who threw the water bottle a big fuck you, I am sure you were an agent provocateur.



But for the police to act this way, they are itching to kill more of us. P.S. Women are also brutalized and terrorized by the police, at the



end all of us are Black and Brown and animals to them. We don't know where @PhilofDreams_ is and Ryan from Peace Poets was arrested.---



Wow... :smh:

---This dude is talking about hot dogs and folks are having guns pulled on them?
But we good right? #Ferguson #STAYWOKE



You can't press-conference your way out of this.
Except when the #Media broadcasts straight up propaganda. #Ferguson



Ron Johnson is explaining the police's safety is #1.
Are y'all getting it yet? #Ferguson



How is it that as we report cops rolling up on folks with guns, people laid out on the ground in fear...
This man is having a presser.


I mean it makes sense. You protect the folks in the same uniform as you and beat down & threaten all others.

That's what gangs do right?


Tell me how this isnt insulting? Why isn't this "inciting?" You treat people like shit then go on TV & pray + talk about hot dogs. #Ferguson

How are the folks who are actively victims of the police supposed to take it when they hold a victory press conference & media covers it.

So you terrorize & humiliate folks then talk about grilling hot dogs and boom. #FERGUSON IS SECURE.

Are y'all getting it yet?

Captain Johnson has to be hurting inside, he seems disconnected. He's up there being a puppet and I know it hurts

I know it hurt him that first night, but now he seems to being going ALL in with these press conferences. I think he's starting to believe his own bullshit...
