WTF - DOJ told Ferguson police not to release that robbery video

[fadedrose]

34. Was there a definite identification?

All I've been hearing on the TV is it was "allegedly" Michael. Had the parents seen it beforehand?

The tape could not have stayed hidden, but would have been brought out in a Grand Jury, just as other evidence, and then presented publically at a trial.

As presented, at the same time as the officer's name, it looked as though the cop maybe stopped him because of the "crime," as it were, and not just for jaywalking. It precluded that the robbery was the cause of the shooting. Not fair to either the victim or the cop, or for that matter, the protesters and business establishments in the neighborhood.

Or the cop should have been charged first, then his name released...Isn't that the way they usually do it? Then the tape would come out...

It was too explosive for this period of time. I think maybe only racists approved of the timing.
