Ferguson Decision Made: Nationwide Mobilization Underway

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Update Sunday 23 Nov. 2014:

 

Due to the author’s statement about a recent controversial video Mike Arman posted of Darren Wilson threatening a man recording him and subsequent comments about it, the video referred to by the author is being posted below.

 

Wilson, who shot and killed Michael Brown, is seen telling Arman ‘I’m gonna lock your ass up’ if he does not stop recording him.

 

Arman claimed in an interview last Saturday that the charge against him was dropped after he told his lawyer he had video footage of the incident. Arman runs a small housing non-profit, has a criminal record and has previously been charged with resisting arrest.

 

“I was working on my porch with my toolbelt on and was being cordial,” Arman said of the incident. “But I wanted to safeguard myself by recording what happened.”

 

 

The Guardian reports, “Filming police officers carrying out their duties is widely considered to be legal and protected by the first amendment of the US constitution.”

 

The police report says Arman was arrested for “Failure to Comply, as he refused to comply with all requests needed in order to complete the summons process.”

 

The videographer, presumably Arman, states: “Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson police department violates my 1st. constitutional amendment. Arrests me unlawfully and then lies on his police report.”

 

 

Original article:

 

Another stage in confronting injustice in communities of color, police abuse and economic unfairness will begin Sunday when the grand jury is slated to annouce its decision in the Michael Brown killing. Nationwide actions have been planned in what is anticipated to be the most intense civil and human rights protests since the 70s.

 

Kevin Zeese, head of Popular Resistance website notes, “While some corporate media outlets are reporting that no decision has been reached or it is unclear when a decision will be announced we find the Sparrow Media report to be credible because (1) DC Police Chief Kathy Lanier announced there would be no time off for DC police on Sunday and Monday when she announced the activation of riot squads.

 

“She made this announcement on Thursday, the same day Sparrow reports the grand jury decision was reached; (2) On Friday, the Ferguson schools announced they would be closed on Monday and Tuesday. These actions are consistent with the decision of the grand jury being announced on Sunday morning.”

 

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, protests have been dominated by nonviolence writing:

 

“Amid the anxiety about worst-case scenarios after the grand jury decides whether to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, it’s easy to overlook how nonviolent the unrest has been thus far,” Zeese stated in a written statement released Saturday.

 

While the protesters have not caused death or widespread destruction, they sparked conversations about inequality and structural racism, and forced concessions that the region’s criminal justice system is broken.

 

“We hope the police in St. Louis and across the country, where there have also been nonviolent protests against police abuse, remember these facts and do not escalate their tactics resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy of riots,” Zeese said.

 

“Organizers are not planning riots, they have planned and trained for a strategic nonviolent campaign to create transformation of policing and treatment of people in communities of color.”

 

The big question is whether government agent provocateurs will start America’s bloody civil war. Groups are being trained to prevent bloodshed, but instigators are equally well trained, as earlier seen in Ferguson.

 

 

 

 

The final planning for the nationwide actions will be held Saturday night. Across the nation, rights workers have been urged to join in a conference call at 7 PM Saturday.

 

 

Organizers will discuss:

·  The latest update from Ferguson organizers.

·  Specific asks we are making to our community around the country.

·  Principles for action takers.

      Will the nation’s rights advocates be able to resist and halt provocateurs is the big question.

    • Cleareyes

      Only see about 7 people in great force picture, I think they are out numbered!

        You think there were all of 7 people protesting over since Brown was murdered?

        Just in from Michael McPherson:

        “The information we have on the ground here and I have heard in the news is that the Grand Jury is still deliberating. Of course that could be wrong. The Don’t Shoot Coalition co-chaired by me and Denise Lieberman, a former ACLU MO legal director and now of the Advancement Project, are in communication with the prosecutor’s office. Not that they will always tell us the truth, but as of this morning there was no decision. We have asked to at least tell us when the deliberations have ended. They say they will do that. But of course who knows.

        “Right now at least the organizing cluster I work with believes the decision will not come tomorrow. However, we realize that it can come at anytime so we are prepared to swing into action.

        “I really think people should stop speculating because it is driving people crazy and no one really know. People just think they know. Everyday comes a new rumor. We here are just ready to move on to the next phase.”

        Thank you. Being peaceful is one way to outsmart them – even when they are aggressive. The WORLD is watching Ferguson and America’s militarized police state.

        • Jay

          Do you really think the world gives a dam about this story. If you do you are in dream land. The world could care less. Two weeks from now it will all be forgotten.

        • paul brown

          Jay, the wold does care. There have been demonstrations world wide, and the UN is concerned. Our reputation precedes us.

        • CrowPie

          Oh yes….the world cares. This will be used as an example in foreign relations discussions for decades to come.

    • Daniel

      I just posted on Hawks comment by Susan Duclos that I was in Ferguson all this past week and some of last week. I just arrived home. This is going to explode because the government is going to test “how far” they can push the civilian population, as well as, martial law. It’s already decided and set in stone. I was there so anyone else can comment and hopefully their comments will be correct. The one thing I will say is this: The military people there know what is happening. They are not stupid. They do not want to be involved. They are following orders but all I spoke to will defend the civilians if they are not being idiots against law enforcement “hotheads.” There will be some dressed in law enforcement attire agitating the crowds and they are “NOT” real law enforcement agents. They are something else entirely. It is not a safe place to be, so if you think it is going to be a non violent protest and want to go to have your voice heard; I strongly suggest you write a letter from home. I was there loaded to the teeth and I’m ex SF and I did not want to be there. Everyone I know in the Intelligence Community called me and told me to “GET THE HELL OUT FAST”, AND I’M QUOTING. Some of these people are foreign intel. Do what you want. If you want a fight don’t worry because one is coming to a neighborhood near you-real soon.

      • Deborah Dupre

        Thank you Daniel, for sharing what you learned from front lines. What you describe sounds even worse than most can imagine. Yes, the plan has been to use just such an event to bring overt rather than the covert yet official martial law that’s already been declared. To read your quoting intel colleagues telling you to get out should be a clarion call to everyone.

        You mention foreign intel. I’d written about Israeli forces training police, including the former St. Louis police chief. Wonder how much IDF might be involved now.

        Please feel free to email me: [email protected]
        Thank you for being there and wherever you are for the rest of us.

      • SickOfTheStupid

        it has been obvious from the start this has been if not completely manufactured then heavily manipulated. Strategically it is the follow up to the Boston martial law test drive. In Boston we showed the governmnt we are perfectly willing to surrender our right’s has long as we are not the targets, we will let the governmnt mercilessly hunt its enemy’s and dissenters under the flimsiest of excuses..With Ferguson we will see if the people surrender their rights for protection.

        You make a important point concerning the differences between military and LEO’s . The military does not want to be there and the reason why is military personnel sign up to serve for much different reasons than LEO’s. Soldiers join to defend and protect their countrymen where has LEO’s have sworn to defend ‘laws’ . Soldiers are trained to shoot a enemy LEO’s are trained to shoot citizens , without hesitation…………..We have far more to fear from LEO’s and lets hope the soldiers do their jobs.

        Ferguson is going to turn violent , that is inevitable. the best we can hope for is the governments plan backfires and instead of the race war they are hoping for, they get a rebellion. lets hope the citizens and people of the world see through our governments obvious tyranny and that this is the catalyst for change this nation requires .

    • Dustdevil

      Susan, you’ve REALLY let me down on this article, and I am sadly disappointed (and I had been giving you a bunch of thumbs-up lately, too).

      There is no finding yet. The Grand Jury is sequestered still, they are still in deliberations still, and while recessed until Monday, they DO reconvene on Monday to resume deliberations on the case. NO FINDING UNTIL AT LEAST MONDAY.

      At the same time, Holder is backing the activists down, because Gov. Nixon activated the National Guard, so instead of a blitzkrieg of activists, apparently he intends to hold order regardless the finding. Since Holder’s forces are now sufficiently outnumbered, I doubt Ferguson will be the hotbox all expected it to be (this does not mean that another of the 81-named activist towns won’t go crazy).

      In the end, it is most-likely that you will either see acquittal or No-Confidence (hung jury) as the final finding. Hung Jury, it gets tried again. Acquittal and it may be raised to the level of the Supreme Court (but I doubt it).

      Overall, it is a bad case, but regardless, I doubt anyone is going to actually respect the court’s finding (even if we all want the law, we still want OUR VIGILANTE version of it, now don’t we?)

      As one who stood in Watts, in 1992, with the 3rd Marines to keep order when Governor Wilson realized his national guard couldn’t do it, and his cops couldn’t do it, and Tom Bradley had thrown his hands up as the mobs grew and the stores burned; I’m here to tell you – no victim is as innocent as they are sold to be by the media, and no mob does this without the over-riding intent to burn it to the ground, and pillage everything they can.

      Don’t doubt me, until you stand a line against such chaos yourself.

      Deborah, I’m disappointed to see that you are siding with someone who may very well have intended to overtake a cop in his car, when you haven’t even heard all the evidence presented in court yet.

      • The Real Deal

        You make a good comment all til the end where you tell Deborah, “Deborah, I’m disappointed to see that you are siding with someone who may very well have intended to overtake a cop in his car, when you haven’t even heard all the evidence presented in court yet.”

        By your logic, the same goes the other way. The kid was just walking in the street, why would Brown try and take the cops gun?

        Did we all forget the 4th Amendment? We have a right to be secure in our papers, possessions and effects. This kid committed no crime. Walking in the street does not justify being harassed by the police. The cop could have easily asked this young man to “please walk on the sidewalk”, and it could have ended there. but according to eyewitness accounts, the cop just rolled up with flashers ( thus declaring an emergency) and proceeded to murder this young man for not obeying the tin star thug with a gun, a radio, and all the backup he needs. You know…like a street gang. Which is what cops are today.

      • Deborah Dupre

        Had media and the real powers that be not protected the killer as well as it did, and had the old video of the same cop bullying others not resurfaced, I might view the situation differently. Even protecting the rights of the KKK to threaten violence shows the nature of what’s going on – and it resembles anything but justice and equality. It’s been way to unequal since the start – thus a violation of basic human rights. I’m sorry, however, that this is disappointing to you. I respect your view and appreciate your readership.

        • CrowPie

          I find it interesting that some kinds of ‘threats’ are considered illegal, while other kinds of ‘threats’ are considered perfectly acceptable.

          It makes me sure that the ‘acceptable’ threats must be in tune with commonly held beliefs of even our highest leaders and those in all types of authority.

          This doesn’t bode well for the changes that we as a country have pretended to make…..

        • DwnRange

          I find myself in complete disagreement with your biased comments above and cannot believe you are as involved in this issue to the extent that you appear to be and yet are so utterly lacking in common sense and understanding the fundamental difference between RIGHT and WRONG.

          Michael Brown was not the cute teenager shown on all the MSM news broadcasts – he was a thug who had just committed a crime, we all saw his true nature and attitude on the day he died in that video. What he displayed in that store video are the true actions of a BULLY and a thug, as opposed to what I will discuss further below.

          Officer Wilson was and is not a killer as you have labeled him in your post above, he was simply a police officer who came into contact with a drugged up thug and a bully who thought he could utilize his size and bullying attitude again, just as he had done in the store, to get away with assaulting a police officer in the performance of his duty.

          I prefer to think of it just as 60 minutes, a week ago, showed when a black former retired LEO along with a group of other folks discussing Ferguson said to all who watched, to the best of my recollection – ” what can you possibly think the outcome would be when choosing to assault an on duty police officer, whatever you think, I can tell you the result is never going be to good” – he was correct and he was a black man speaking from a background of a LEO, the race of the officer nor the perpetrator was no issue for him. Secondarily in this instance the choice to attack Officer Wilson had nothing to do with a decisions or choices made by Officer Wilson, but instead the choices and decisions made by Michael Brown, he made the choice to use his size and attitude against a duly appointed peace officer and he paid in full for the choice HE made that day.

          As to the bullying tactics in the 15 second video of Officer Wilson also mentioned in your post, what in heck did you see there? I watched the video numerous and times and let me tell something YOU obviously missed in that all of 15 second clip (which was obviously bogus and framed to place the officer in the worst light possible, as it showed nothing of the supposed victims actions which lead to his arrest) – BULLIES do not remain calm, they do not continue to speak in a normal tone of voice, with their hands in their pockets in a non-threatening manner across the yard and they certainly do not continue to remain as calm and even voiced and polite as Officer Wilson was while striding across the yard, up the sidewalk and up to the person he was about to arrest, while informing him nicely he was under arrest, still with his hands in his pockets. These are NOT the mannerisms and the actions of a bully; could you not at some point compare the actions of these two individuals involved in this tragedy and make a similar practical common sense assessment of who was RIGHT and who was WRONG by comparing their own actions in the 2 videos?

          For if these videos are indeed what you have based you defamation of Officer Wilson and your defense of Michael Brown on and the statements above are the results of what you believe the concepts of RIGHT and WRONG are; then I would have to agree w/ Three69ingSquirrels comment above, other than the fact I would have said a bag of hammers.

          DwnRange,

          That is your name isn’t it? DwnRange? If it is……then you would…. at the risk of making an assumption,…….assume that you know how far one hundred feet (give or take a couple) amounts too?

          And I also assume that you know that once an officer is out of MORTAL DANGER…it is NOT legal to use DEADLY force.

          At the distance of that many feet…..deadly force…..was NOT necessary…..and therefor…illegal……by law.

    • Jay

      Nothing will come of it. This has happened over and over from the 1950′s till the present. Demonstrations, a lot of talk violence then silence. During the L.A. riots there was talk of a nation wide race war. It didn’t happen, the same was true with the turbulent sixties and the so called civil rights movement in the 1950′s. Since Blacks have arrived in this country they have been used by political manipulators and they will continued to be used. They can scream and holler all they want, they can hate the white man all they want, they can even put their own in the White house it will make no difference the powers that be have ordained it. Those powers can easily commit genocide if the need arises. But why should they, they own them lock stock and barrel and can pull the springs anyway they choose just like they own the liberal media , the leftist intelligentsia and the Religious left.

      • Deborah Dupre

        Jay, you say, “they own them lock stock and barrel and can pull the springs anyway they choose just like they own the liberal media , the leftist intelligentsia and the Religious left.”

        Do you really believe the NWO PTB only own the left? Ever heard of the Koch brothers?

        The right has been controlled longer, more aggressively and more easily than the left, my friend. For decades, it’s the right that has been controlled to maintain the status quo.

        • Jay

          I didn’t say the right isn’t controlled, but it’s a lot easier to control the disarmed left. Ask Stalin when you meet him, if he was more afraid of the squawking of a bunch of powerless disarmed left leaning liberals or a couple million farmers with shot guns. The Koch brothers are not from the right they are centrist RINO’s. Just like the Nazi’s ( National Socialist) ,Communists and Socialist are leftists, like BO ,Hillary and Bill. The true Right are Libertarian and the far right are anarchists.

    • Deborah Dupre

      DwnRange: Thank you for your opinions, however, slanted and misinformed they might be. It seems your understanding of bully behavior needs sound information. The worst of bullies do indeed remain cool, calm and collected when exposed and when presenting their case. They have been known to full top psychologists as they are expert actors. Best to do some research on sociopaths/psychopaths/bullies to learn how well they are at deceiving when questioned. That’s precisely how they get away with – well – yes, even murder.

      • DwnRange

        Slanted and misinformed? :lol: (you are persistent, I’ll give ya that)

        I am not the one who needs educating here, as it appears that the FACTS in this case turned out to be on my side and that the death of Michael Brown is and never was murder and that he was as I pointed out a thug and a bully, who’s unfortunate demise was a result of his own bad choices.

        The persons in reality that should be blamed for this tragedy are the parents of this young thug as they were the only ones in a position to affect the changes necessary to have altered the out come of this poor individuals life, but as one can see by their comments, they are still abdicating their responsibilities in favor of blaming others for their loss – in this case the nut has not fallen very far from the tree, as loser parents begat a loser child.

        As I stated above, you, madam are the one who needs an education on RIGHT and WRONG, not I.

        And to CrowPie’s comment toward me above I have the exact same comments, just because “someone” claims the distance of the shooting was over 100 feet, does not make it true – the FACTS in this case along with verdict of the Grand Jury clearly shows who does a better at separating RIGHT from WRONG and fact from fiction here.

    • CaptainAmerica

      This Demonstration has nothing to do with Civil Rights. Is is about a community that turns a blind eye to lawlessness among their own youth. Lack of moral character and a sense of entitlement permeates this community.

      • Deborah Dupre

        So that explains the extraordinary KKK activities and record breaking police track record of stopping blacks in their cars?

        NY Times:

        “But it doesn’t take a federal investigation to understand the history of racial segregation, economic inequality and overbearing law enforcement that produced so much of the tension now evident on the streets. St. Louis has long been one of the nation’s most segregated metropolitan areas, and there remains a high wall between black residents — who overwhelmingly have lower incomes — and the white power structure that dominates City Councils and police departments like the ones in Ferguson.

        “Until the late 1940s, blacks weren’t allowed to live in most suburban St. Louis County towns, kept out by restrictive covenants that the Supreme Court prohibited in 1948….”
        (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/13/opinion/racial-history-behind-the-ferguson-protests.html)

        It’s disturbing that there is so much racism and misinformed people taking such strong stands about this issue. They either do not understand, cannot understand due to denial, or are fostering the crisis through racism – directly opposed to civil and human rights.

        • CaptainAmerica

          Your explanation is talking about the past of 70 years ago. I am talking about today. These kids weren’t even born then.
          Check the FBI crime reports. The community comprises about 10% of the population in America and commits almost 60 % of the rapes and murders. Blacks are stopped by LEO often because they are the ones breaking the law. America has bent over backwards to give a helping hand and all that has occurred is more moral decay.
          Your world view makes you an enabler and apologist for lawlessness and violence. I am growing tired of the constant excuses of the left. Not only is it counterproductive, it gives power to the lawless.

        • CaptainAmerica

          There’s a difference between vengeance and justice. Let the justice system work, or admit you don’t care for justice.

      • Deborah Dupre

        Captain – Please check your data before spreading false racist-based claims here.

        Please at least read wikipedia:
        … a 2011 study which examined the racial disparities in violent crime and incarceration from 1980 and 2008 found little difference for black share of violent offending. Racial imbalances between arrest rates and sentencing have caused some to question the disparities. The authors argued that prior studies had been confounded by not separating Hispanics from Whites. The number of Hispanic offenders has been increasing rapidly and have violence rates higher than that of Whites but lower than Blacks.[29]

        Another recent study in 2012 raises a different concern, showing Hispanics and blacks receive considerably longer sentences for the same or lesser offenses on average than white offenders with equal or greater criminal records.[30][31]

        [Captain - can you explain to us why this is?]

        Homicide

        According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and Native Americans and Asians 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most murders were intraracial, with 84% of white homicide victims murdered by whites, and 93% of black victims murdered by blacks.[32][33]
        (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States)

        • Deborah Dupre

          Also please note: While a correlation between blacks and Hispanics and crime exists, data implies a stronger tie between **** poverty and crime **** than crime and any racial group, when gender is taken into consideration.

          As far as poverty being the cause, considering there are more whites living below the poverty line how would that explain the cause? As you said, the small minority of AA’s commit over 50 % of violent crime.
          If poverty was the cause , during the Great Depression 25% of men were unemployed and poverty stricken. why was crime actually lower per capita then that it is today?
          I can see stealing to pay for food, but Rape and murder having a correlation with poverty?
          Lack of strong families with fathers and a cultural moral poverty that condones violence and immorality is probably more like it.

      Nothing happening where I live, the community is more interested in “Black Friday” then black protest. Once the media stands down it will all be gone in two weeks it will be forgotten. Does anybody remember “Trevor what his name. It was all hype by the Demoncrat party for the midterm elections, It didn’t work most sensible people have seen right through this charade. The media picks over obvious police brutality cases, like the home invasion by a swat teams for a family who were homeschooling their children and chooses this obvious case of aggression against a police officer to conduct a media circus.

        Just to prove your point, who the hell is “Trevor”? You may not see this but if anyone else can clue me in, by all means, chime in.
