Ferguson Police Circle the Wagons

We now know the name of the man who shot and killed unarmed Michael Brown, the black teenager from Ferguson Missouri.

It was noticeably calmer in the streets of Ferguson LAST night as the Governor essentially came in and deactivated the local police department. Even President Obama called out for people to rise above the violence and be calm.

Tonight being Friday night, the tensions are still high. Now that the name of the police officer is public information, police are gearing up for more potential riots.

By the way, officer Darren Wilson is in hiding, relocated by the Ferguson police department to a different area for his safety and the safety of his family. The Ferguson Police Department is circling the wagons to protect their own.

Just yesterday, the Governor himself said he didn’t even know the identity of the shooter. Now, the department is slowly leaking information out to the public. It’s a careful tactic many grief counselors use to decrease the initial reaction, but along the way, it’s clear that IF the police were responsible for the whole case without oversight from the FBI, this case might end up playing out differently.
