Wait, what? Ok, Chief Jackson says he released the video because the press asked for

[ChisolmTrailDem]

it several times via FOIAs.

Does anyone remember knowing or hearing or seeing ANYTHING about a robbery prior to this morning's press conference? Wouldn't there have been some mention if the press knew a video existed before this morning?

Something smells very fishy with this entire matter. I suspect a department steeped in a racist culture in which a member finally went too far. That police chief Jackson has seemed VERY shaky and VERY scared during this entire affair. And now the video was released after he says the press was asking for it but no one in the press seems to know anyone else who has ever heard of a robbery involving Mike Brown.

This is getting more interesting by the day and I suspect it won't be so peaceful tonight when those citizens in Ferguson digest today's revelations and events. The police are still obfuscating and covering their asses and I hope Capt Johnson is able to keep the peace tonight.

1. It is rather difficult to file a FOIA request

on an event you have no clue ever allegedly ever took place.

3. Not in Ferguson MO

I think there is a wormhole there. Their cops can kill people BEFORE they ever even know that they are "suspects".

2. The press are saying they never knew about a robbery

It's bullshit. No one heard about a robbery before this morning except Tom Jackson and his fascist police.

4. my problem with releasing the video

is that it wasn't released sooner, along with the police report.

5. Yesterday the mayor mentioned the word robbery with no details

He was an idiot and sounded like he was winging it trying to protect the cops.

6. If so, that's one of the fastest FOIA turnarounds I've ever seen.

Remarkable, even.

7. Jackson said: "I released it because you guys (the press) kept asking for it. I held

on to it as long as I could."
