Much as with "Fast and Furious," Eric Hold used a violent incident to advance his own sick agenda. This time it insidiously prolonging the Rioting in Ferguson, Missouri by retarding the release of the Convenience Store Video that showed Michael "Gentle Giant" Brown had just committed a robbery. Brown was resisting arrest minutes later, when he was shot.
Maybe the video showing the reason why Brown was stopped by police and that he was no angel would have helped settle down the situation had it been released immediately. Maybe not, but it surely should not have been he'd back as lies and myths about Brown's good citizenship fanned the flames for riot.
Holder should be arrested as an instigator for part of this mayhem. m/r
Feds Objected To The Release Of Alleged Michael Brown Robbery Tape - Business Insider
Erin Fuchs Aug. 16, 2014
Police in Ferguson released a video tape allegedly showing slain teen
Michael Brown robbing a store even though the Justice Department warned
that doing so could inflame racial tensions, CNN is reporting.
Ferguson cops had wanted to release the video on Thursday but held
off when federal officials asked them not to release the tape, an
unnamed law enforcement official told CNN. That tape allegedly
showed Brown stealing cigars from a convenience store before a police
officer shot the unarmed 18-year-old in the street last weekend.
Despite holding off Thursday,
Ferguson police still decided to release the tape Friday over the
Justice Department's objections, according to CNN.
The Justice Department may have been correct about the effect the tape would have.
After a period of relative calm on Thursday night, protests got ugly again on Friday
after police released the tape of Brown and revealed that he was a
suspect in a robbery the day he was killed last weekend. Police may have
made the situation even worse when they revealed later Friday that the
officer who killed Brown did not even know he was a robbery suspect — a detail that suggests the convenience-store tape isn't relevant to the shooting.
Brown's family released a statement Friday declaring they were "beyond outraged" at the "character assassination" of their son.
