Just disgusting. The federal government has to step in here.McCullough Forgets to Release Key Documents in Michael Brown Case:
Missouri Prosecutor Releases More Ferguson Grand Jury Evidence
St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch apologized for “inadvertently” omitting to release some of the evidence collected after the shooting of Michael Brown. The newly released evidence includes a transcript of an interview with Dorian Johnson, a friend of Brown’s, who was with the 18-year-old when he died.
Almost two dozen documents related to the August shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, were made public Saturday by the St. Louis County Prosecutor.
Prosecutor Bob McCulloch — who had promised to unseal all evidence submitted to the grand jury when he announced on Nov. 24 their decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, the police offer who killed Brown, setting off a wave of protests across the U.S. — apologized for “inadvertently” omitting to release the documents.
“Clearly, I inadvertently omitted some material,” McCulloch said in a statement. “I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.”
Among the 23 newly-released documents is a transcript of a police interview with Dorian Johnson, a friend of Brown’s, who was with the unarmed teenager when he was shot and killed.
“Once the officer fired the second shot at my friend Big Mike I knew he was struck because he instantly stopped in his tracks,” Johnson told detectives in the interview. “He stopped running. His hands were in the air before he turned around.”
Johnson said that Brown had raised his hands and shouted that he was unarmed to the officers. He also said he heard “more than four” shots fired.
“My friend went all the way down in the fatal [sic] position,” Johnson told detectives. “I watched him take every, several more shots. I watched his facial expression.”
“I see the pain in his face,” he said. “He cannot say nothin’. He’s not screamin’ ‘cause I feel like he’s still in shock because each time, each time he’s shot, he’s tryin’ to get another word out until the fatal shot which, I don’t know what made him stop moving, but he stopped moving and he was on the ground.” Johnson described feeling sick and nauseated following the shooting. “I seen someone who I was just seconds to talking to, dead,” he said.
In another of a the newly released documents, a Ferguson told detectives that Officer Wilson was nicknamed “Ears” in the neighborhood, “cause his ears big”. Wilson was said to have a reputation in the community for “messing people around” and “pulling people over.”

FINAL THOGUHTS
well brehs....
I'm kind of speechless because I'm torn. Spent my day in DC (yesterday) and let me just say... it was a great spectacle but I'm not sure this generation is ready for the next phase.
As I watched/listened to the government agent (Sharpton) facilitate and lead the march it dawned on me....
This strategy of march/protest and flash mob (die-in) does nothing but incentivize the police to kill more minorities (Think about that)
All of the police made overtime yesterday. The city made money. There was no legislation passed or none put on the table to force police to police in a different manner.
JUST ONE BIG emotional spectacle to spread awareness on a reoccurring issue that honestly happens so often to black men at the hands of law enforcement you would think there was laws put into place that combat it.......
- There was a Sharpton led march for Sean Bell in NY back in 08
- one for Trayvon back in 13,
- one for Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner yesterday
Are the police being forced to change the way they police? The simple answer is no
My heart goes out to the mothers of the lost children. I'm seriously at a loss for words. You can feel their pain when they speak and there is no way they'll ever get over the losses they've had to endure.
The system is so incredibly broken
This is why I can't f*cking stand America...cause it produces people like this. With that mentality.#crimingwhilewhite: You won't see these two women all over CNN or Faux News
'I ran that n***** over': Two women who encouraged their friend to run over and kill black man after brutally beating and robbing him in unprovoked race-hate attack face prison
Shelbie Richards and Sarah Graves, both 21, have pleaded guilty in connection with a series of attacks on African-Americans in Mississippi
The attacks included the death of James Anderson, was run over by a Ford F250 truck outside a Jackson hotel in 2011
The woman admit they encouraged their co-conspirators to go with them to assault 'n******' on the night that Anderson was killed
They face five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for breaking the hate crime law
Dedmon was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Anderson in March 2012
Two women are facing prison after they admitted this week to encouraging their friend to run over and kill a black man with his pick up during a deliberate mission to target and attack African Americans.
James Anderson, was run over by a Ford F250 truck outside a hotel in Jackson, Mississisppi, after being brutally beaten and robbed in 2011.
His assault was caught by a hotel surveillance camera – which has already resulted in the conviction of driver Deryl Dedmon who boasted afterwards to his friends - ‘I ran that n***** over.'
Now two 21-year-old women who were in Dedmon’s truck and encouraged him to finish Anderson off are facing prison sentences after pleading guilty on Friday in connection with not just Anderson's death but a whole series of attacks on African-Americans in Mississippi.
Shelbie Richards and Sarah Graves, each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to violate the federal hate crime law.
Anderson's death sparked a broader investigation into reports that young white men and women were driving from mostly white Rankin County into majority-black Jackson to assault African-Americans.
Richards and Graves admitted that on June 26, 2011, they encouraged their co-conspirators to leave Brandon with them to assault 'n******,' in Jackson.
Richards further admitted that she encouraged her co-conspirator Deryl Dedmon to hit Anderson with his truck.
In addition, Richards admitted that she falsely told law enforcement officers that she did not remember a fight between Dedmon and Anderson, and that she did not encourage Dedmon to strike Anderson with his truck.
The two women from Brandon face a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for breaking the hate crime law, while Richards faces an additional three years in prison and a $250,000 fine for concealing information about Anderson's death from investigators.

Anderson, was run over by a Ford F250 truck outside a Jackson hotel in 2011. His assault was caught by a hotelsurveillance camera
'No person should have to fear that they will be attacked because of the color of their skin as they walk the streets of their own city,' said Acting Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta for the Civil Rights Division, reports The Clarion-Ledger.
Apart from Anderson's death, prosecutors say at least two other assaults occurred, in addition to an attempted assault. Other victims have not been publicly identified.
Prosecutors said the suspects usually sought out people who were homeless or drunk. Prosecutors said assailants used their fists, beer bottles, sling shots and vehicles in the attacks.
Six others - Dedmon, John Rice, Dylan Butler, William Montgomery, Jonathan Gaskamp, and Joseph Dominick - have also pleaded guilty.They have yet to be sentenced.

'This investigation started with the tragic death of James Anderson, ' said Special Agent in Charge Donald Alway of the FBI Mississippi Division.
'Since then, the FBI has continued its efforts to identify and bring to justice all those individuals who conspired to deprive Mr. Anderson and other African-American citizens of their civil rights simply because of the color of their skin.'
Dedmon was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Anderson in March 2012.
He was part of a group of white youths from largely white Rankin County who decided to ‘go f*** with some n******,’ after a night of partying and drinking, law enforcement officials have said, quoting some of the suspects in the case.
According to investigators, they drove 16 miles in two vehicles from Rankin County to Jackson, where after exiting the highway, they found Anderson alone in a parking lot about 4 a.m. on June 26.
The white men allegedly beat Anderson repeatedly, yelling racial epithets including ‘white power’. After the beating, Dedmon drove his Ford F-250 truck over the man, leaving him to die.
Shortly afterward, Dedmon boasted and laughed about the killing, according to statements some of the teens made to detectives.
'I ran that n***** over,' he allegedly said in a phone conversation to the youths in the other car.

Truth.
What answers are you looking for? Legislative changes? for what? To stop a cac from killing a Black man?Excellent Points.
We had another march near downtown dallas the other day & one of the cops just shook his head at me & said "it is what it is".
All of the major news networks covering the protests are making millions from it, I don't agree when people call Rev Al a "race baitor" but he is an opportunitst but he has done a lot for the black community too.
One of things I find irritating is before the gardner decison came down, obama said he would like to have body cameras on ALL officers but then you see one of the officers put the guy in a rear naked choke over cigs & there were over 6 officers there as if the man was committing a felony.
Obama making that declaration now seems beyond silly because the cops still won't be prosecuted & he knows it. I'm not blaming this all on him but I don't wanna see obama back to "community organizer obama" in 2 years crying about changing legislation but when he was president he didn't even initiate it.
There are a lot of ignorant people out there who don't understand what this is all about, it's about a precedent being set of holding officers who are suppose to protect accountable when they commit murders & crimes. Internal Affairs is a joke & asking prosecutors to pursue charges against officers is a slippery slope considering they use officers in trials everyday. They work hand in hand which is a MAJOR reason why officers are ALWAYS given the benefit of the doubt & are never really brought up on charges.
Nobody really has all of the answers but we need legislative changes made, even if special prosecutors are appointed in ALL officer related shootings/killings would be a start.
I must say black people in america are the most forgiving race there is:
We're told that slavery was a long time ago, get over it.
We're told dress right & be articulate & we still get harrassed, beat up & killed by officers or any cac with a CWL.
We're told by timid azz blacks to "let god deal with it" when an injustice happens to us.
We're told to worry about black on black crime even though over 90% time if a black kills a black they are usually brought to justice.
And even after we're murdered, our characters are murdered again in the media.
Every thing associated with being black in america is demonized & thought to be negative & we see time after time being black in america is a crime within itself which is wrong on all levels...
@Cbanks36 to keep it 100....I agree with you. This generation not willing to die for freedom like our elders once were during the Black Power movement. These kids just want to go to rallies and take pictures for Instagram. What also bothered me is the staggering amount of CAC's that was out there. Take that for what you will, but to hear that, there was any where from 25k people to 60k at the NYC event is straight up fools gold.
These crackers will March til they get blisters and go home and not do shyt for Black people (and they aren't supposed to) what made Feeguson the powerful movement that it was is that all the people there are BLACK. There's also no nationwide group that's galvinizing the youth, and a lot of the energy that's being produced is going to waste. I'm actually thinking of starting one based out of NYC. I just need like 3-5 other people to get it off the ground.
I'm just sick of marching and then nothing happens. I'm sick of begging these Devils for some justice when I know that they have no conscience or empathy. I just with our brothers and sisters saw them the same way most of us on here do.
Oh yeah and shame on the free Palestine movement for trying to make the NY event about themselves. Damn shame.
The white girls got 5 yearsWhy the rest havent been charged though even though they pleaded guilty too, are they awaiting trial? And what's up with these two white bytches??? WTF they need to throw these sociopaths under the jail...
The feral government won't do shyt. This is their system and the result it is designed to create and maintain.Just disgusting. The federal government has to step in here.
Just disgusting. The federal government has to step in here.
KEEP BELIEVING THAT LIE!
