Missouri governor, Highway Patrol captain acknowledge concerns over police report on Michael Brown

[cal04]

The law enforcement official overseeing security in Ferguson said Friday he was not notified before the Ferguson Police Department announced that Michael Brown was a suspect in a robbery the day he was killed.

“I would have liked to have been consulted,” Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ronald S. Johnson said at a news conference Friday morning.

Johnson said he would be meeting with Jackson later on Friday “to talk about how that was released,” acknowledging that he felt the information’s release was not flawless.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) also spoke about the release of the information, noting that these “pieces of information” are not the complete picture.

Capt. Johnson acknowledges release of info this morning wasn't perfect, says he wasn't consulted

1. That is a very tactful way of calling BS

And I can think of two obvious reasons that Jackson didn't contact Johnson before releasing that report. And one is that Johnson would call BS on it.

2. This is what they meant when they said they were deciding how to release the shooter's ID.

They were getting their ducks in a row so that the focus would be the dead black kid's crimes rather than the cop's shooting.

3. Bingo.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner . . . .
