Greetings world, we are Anonymous.

On August 9th in Ferguson, Missouri the 17 year old and unarmed Mike Brown was shot several times and killed by an officer of the Ferguson Police Department. His body was left to lie in a pool of blood in the sweltering heat for hours while 15 police departments militarized the area against protesters, sealed the roads leading to Ferguson in a vain attempt to prevent protesters from reaching the city. The police has clearly crossed a line in the sand.

For this reason Anonymous will not be satisfied this time, as we have in the past – with simply obtaining justice for this young man and his family. Anonymous demands that the Congressional Representatives and Senators from Missouri introduce legislation entitled “Mike Brown’s Law” that will set strict national standards for police conduct and misbehaviour in the USA.

To the good people of Ferguson, take heart – and take your streets. You are not alone, we will support you in every way possible. Occupy every square inch of your city. Demand justice, staying silent today could result in the death of your kid tomorrow.

To the Ferguson Police Department and any other jurisdictions who are deployed to the protests: we are watching you very closely. If you abuse, harass – or harm in any way the protesters in Ferguson we will take every web based asset of your departments and governments off line. That is not a threat, it is a promise. Attacking the protesters will result in the release of personal information on every single member of the Ferguson Police Department, as well as any other jurisdiction that participates in the abuse of this States own law. We will seize all your databases and E-Mail spools and dump them on the Internet. This is your first and last warning.

The time has come for more than simple justice for these atrocities. The time has come to draw a line in the sand. The time has come to bring those to justice, who served to protect us, not kill us.

Until justice prevails, hack and protest will replace it.

Yep, these coppers really messed up on this one and even the FBI is getting involved in the investigation. Point being, someone has to get their ass handed to them for this and the macho cop who did the shooting is probably shitting bricks right about now. He will likely be offered up to the gods of the proverbial mobs figuratively and get hung out to dry. I'd be surprised if the circled the wagons too much here and get even more bad press.

It is amazing how often you really do not hear of any sanctions taken against cops in those extreme situations. Nothing ever happen to them. Ever.

What is the cause for such drastic action from police? There must be some information the law enforcement have to react this way.

The fuck?

That kid tried to wrestle the gun from the cop while kicking and wailing inside the cop car.

What, he wanted to take the gun because he was going to throw it away?


Why is it that not a single of the 'witnesses' for this kid have a video evidence in this day and age when even a cheap phone worth less than 50 dollars have one?

No more shuck and jive, bitch.

Tanks?

Where you get your information? Is it accurate to what really happen to the tragedy?

Tragic, at least from what I understand. Not sure how new laws will prevent this happening though.

All sources provide two distinct 'testimonies'.

Cops claim that he physically confronted the officer into the patrol car, and tried to wrestle the gun away when he was telling them to walk on the sidewalk instead of bitch stepping through the fucking road.

'Witnesses' claim that he was a good boy, minding his own business aside from walking around the fucking road like he owns the place, and was running away instead of confronting the cop.

Funny thing is neither side has a video evidence of the incident, which is strange because even sub 30 dollar shit phone has that these days. All those 'witnesses' either got there too late to see the whole thing, or it's more shuck and jive bull shit again.

Also, bull shit about posting his younger picture instead of present day nigga attitude pictures.

I was almost killed before i was even born because a crack head nigga tried to rob my family's store with my mother manning the cashier carrying me. Does that give me the right to off any shitskin I like and steal his plasma tv after raping his wife?

This case is obvious. The entitled little shit tried to fucked with the cops, tried to wrestle his gun away, and got fucked for it when he failed and cop fought him off.

Throw the baby mama in the slammer so she doesn't shit out another one.

Cops aim weapon at local official, lock media out as Ferguson protests continue

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/12/watch-cops-aim-weapon-at-local-official-lock-media-out-as-ferguson-protests-continue/

"Video filmed by a St. Louis alderman shows police aiming a weapon at him while responding to the latest round of demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri.

Alderman Antonio French posted the footage Monday night, following another protest criticizing police for the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Michael Brown. The video shows French being approached by officers in riot gear inside a parking lot. One officer has his firearm drawn toward French while another says, “Get the f*ck out of here” and motions away from the parking lot. It is not clear whether French identified himself as a city official during the encounter in the St. Louis suburb".

Have a difficult time believing the teen acted this way. Even then, shooting him is still way out of line for the local police.

If he tried to snatch a loaded gun from the police officer, then they are justified in their actions. What they did was self defence. Normal people don't try to snatch fire arms from law enforcement officials.

That is not helping anyone. If "anonymous" wants to actually help people instead spreading chaos they should be sponsoring educational programs and small businesses in economically deprived areas. They seem to be only interested in inserting themselves into situations for their own political agenda.

Why target little children? If the Anonymous have any balls, then they should first identify the police officer who shot Mike Brown. Hurting the children of a police chief, for the actions of some of his juniors is just outrageous.

I feel like the US police intervention are way to aggressive, in just recent weeks many cases of death and heavy injuries from the police. And back to firguson I saw on our press some picture of the city turning into a battlefield with buildings burning this reminds me of what happened in France near Paris a few year ago, after the police killed a kid
http://www.lemonde.fr/ameriques/portfolio/2014/08/12/ferguson-s-embrase-apres-la-mort-d-un-jeune-noir_4470412_3222.html

I don't know who is responsible, until forensic evidence comes out it is all speculation.

What I do take issue though with is the drama and narrative the media makes, that he was a "good boy" on his way to his grandmother's when social media pictures of him show him throwing Vice Lords gang signs and he has a sealed criminal record. Also last time I checked Vatterott was not a true "college" but a trade school. Yeah it's good he was thinking beyond just high school and doing something with his life but they act like he was headed to Harvard or something.

Also most of the rioters arrested were all from outside Ferguson and had criminal records, this is not a "community uprising" but an excuse to loot.

And finally, rabble rousers like Al Sharpton who have thrown around racial slurs against Jews and incited the Crown Heights riot have no room to talk of justice.

Personally I just want all the facts to come out before making judgement, people get mad when the police "pre-judge" people and act as judge, jury and executioner but people now want to do the same. I wouldn't be shocked if it came out the officer involved is Black himself just like the media was quick to call George Zimmerman white and had to embarrassingly make up a new term, "White Hispanic".

The cops are fucking lying as usual. Any of you dumbasses who believe the Ferg PD's story are fools.

They won't even release the cop's name. So much for accountability.

Furthermore, there is a no fly zone established over STL - all to keep the news choppers out.

Police state in effect!

Release the Names/Addresses of all officers on duty.

I imagine this has a change to result in more deaths.  I'd be a little surprised if it doesn't at this point.

 Black Man Goes on EPIC Rant Against Ferguson Rioters

I want any of you dumb fools to argue against this man's truth.

Fucking idiots trying to shift the narrative to 'freedom' vs 'police state'. None of you have ever experienced any of those, and certainly do not deserve freedom. Why, you figure you too scared to call those black cops standing against the rioters 'house niggas'?

Freedom is not doing what you want. Freedom is being capable of coping and dealing with the consequences of your choices like a man who can stand on his own two feet.

Fucking love those fools who think I am white :) Let's pretend for a moment I am - what the fuck does that change?

'Freedom fighters' HAHAHA Christ you kids are fucking hilarious.

This is hillarious. People who are 'doxed' from birth throughout their lives think they can 'get back at DA MAN' by snitching from behind a monitor.

Pussies :)

BAE Caiman, oh shit.

Independence County (Arkansas)

You drive past the cop shop.... Tons of new cars, BAE Caiman and a few other armored SWAT vehicles.

You drive past the National Guard... 1 Broken down Humvee.

I wish I had a picture. I'll actually call someone and try to get one.

Freedom fighters are just ordinary looters who are taking advantage of the situation. I am sure that a large part of them haven't even heard of the Mike Brown incident. They are just there to loot.

To serve and protect my ass. These fuckers are driving fully armored IED stoppers for what? This shit needs to stop, these fuckers need to be held accountable. Not in just this incident but all of them, wrong house raids, flashbangs in fucking cribs, straight up murdering people and half of them are crooks. Also I dont understand, a black kid is shot and it sucks. It sucks if anyone is shot like this but why loot? Why steal from businesses that have nothing to do with the situation? Why destroy other members of the communities houses and business, this is why no one trusts black people. I know that is a racist line but if they could act civilized, it may get them farther in thier plight.

Livestreamer behind Ferguson footage says cops were shooting tear gas near homes

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/14/livestreamer-behind-ferguson-footage-says-cops-were-shooting-tear-gas-near-homes/

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/STL-cops-use-tear-gas-in-Ferguson-081314-msnbc.jpg

A Missouri man who live-streamed the police action against demonstrators in Ferguson, Missouri told MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell on Wednesday that authorities were shooting tear gas into a residential area even after the latest anti-police protest ended.

“The crowd has dispersed, and they’re now going after people who are trying to go back into their vehicles,” Mustafa Hussein said. “We are trapped away from our vehicle and cannot get back to it.”

Hussein, who works for an independent radio station, was broadcasting online live when police advanced toward what was up to that point a peaceful demonstration after telling media members to turn off their recording devices.

“Do they actually believe that they have that right?” O’Donnell asked.

“I don’t know that they believe they have that right,” Hussein responded. “I know that this is a practice that they have taken over the last three nights. We have reports from the crowd that once the media has left the area, tension has taken a turn for the worse.”

The protest was the latest one criticizing police for the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown last Saturday. Brown was unarmed when an unidentified officer shot and killed him. On Wednesday, police met the crowd of around 250 people with a large group of 70 SWAT officers and at least one large armored vehicle. A sniper could be seen training his firearm toward the crowd throughout the event.

This shit is crazy, scary how militarised the US police have become. Maybe the UN will send in some peace-keepers  ;D

Ask Russia. I'm pretty sure they would be happy to give a hand with peace-keeping... :)

Supposedly anonymous has released the name and other info of the killer cop.

Peace keeping with bullets and tanks  :D The world is becoming increasingly militarised, even the internet cannot escape from it.

Imagine if this shit is happening in the Texas area (From what I know Texans love their guns) things could've been much much worse, but still things could degenerate on any moment

https://twitter.com/TheAnonMessage/statuses/499933071505108992

Yeah... read that in Russia Today. But I have a feeling that this whole thing is going a bit one-sided. Why no one is listening to what the cops have to say about this incident? And how can we trust those witnesses who claim that the boy was shot without any provocation?

People listen to headlines and the truth tends to filter out later. The media is certainly culpable in that as well. I wonder what the victim was wearing. I can't wait to see the morons in congress wearing stupid clothing in the chambers as a cheap political stunt ala Trayvon Martin.

People complain that no one recorded the cops...never taking into account how many people have been arrested/harassed/assaulted for recording cops.

The cops have been ordering media to turn off their cameras (and arresting media) - with the reasoning "to keep you safe".

They can afford military assault vehicles, but no dash cameras?

Video of Ferguson police gassing news crew and dismantling their equipment

http://boingboing.net/2014/08/14/video-of-ferguson-police-gassi.html


A news crew, clearly no threat or impediment to the cops, films from a verge in Ferguson, Missouri. A pop and a cloud of white smoke marks the arrival of a tear gas canister at their feet, and the newscrew is forced to flee. Moments later, police pull up in an armored van and hurriedly try to break down the film equipment--until they notice that another crew is still filming them from across the street.

Update: Kate O'Brian, president of Al Jazeera America, released a statement condemning the police.

Last night at 9:30 CDT in Ferguson, Missouri, an Al Jazeera America news crew was reporting behind police barricades. They were easily identifiable as a working television crew. As they were setting up their camera for a live report, tear gas canisters landed in their proximity and police fired rubber bullets in their direction. Police continued to shoot after crew members clearly and repeatedly shouted ‘Press’. Al Jazeera America is stunned by this egregious assault on freedom of the press that was clearly intended to have a chilling effect on our ability to cover this important story. Thankfully all three crew members are physically fine. We believe that this situation must be investigated along with those involving our colleagues at other media outlets.

LOL

Fuck the police.

You really think anon wants to help? They are about dealign their own "brand of justice" and it usually involves some warped view of something. The officer will go to jail if it was homicide, but the problem with anons is that they get way too emotional and think they are the best kind of vigilantes there ever was. They do some good and they do a lot of bad. Thats the only way i can describe them, they get too over the top and when they get caught they kick and scream and whine like kids. everyone is a tough guy on the internet until you are getting arrested for hacking.

It was homicide, but there are two broad types of homicide: lawful/justified and criminal/unjustified. It would take more evidence than has been destroyed or simply not collected in the first place to prove it was criminal. It is far easier to convict the hens than the foxes "guarding" them.

Ferguson police got military gear free from the Pentagon through 90s ‘War on Drugs’ program

"Under a federal program, local police departments like the St. Louis County Police in Ferguson, Missouri are arming themselves with tactical military gear that they obtain for free from the Pentagon.

Talking Points Memo reported on the connection between U.S. police militarization and the federal 1033 program, approved in 1992, which established a materiel pipeline between the military and local police forces. The program was originally a component of the War on Drugs.

In response to what was seen in the 90s as a mushrooming threat of inner city gang violence fueled by the narcotics trade, wrote Newsweek‘s Taylor Wofford, “the 101st Congress in 1990 enacted the National Defense Authorization Act. Section 1208 of the NDAA allowed the Secretary of Defense to “transfer to Federal and State agencies personal property of the Department of Defense, including small arms and ammunition, that the Secretary determines is— (A) suitable for use by such agencies in counter-drug activities; and (B) excess to the needs of the Department of Defense.” It was called the 1208 Program. In 1996, Congress replaced Section 1208 with Section 1033.”

According to a 2014 report by the ACLU known as “War Comes Home,” the military has supplied around $4.3 billion in refurbished equipment to U.S. police forces since the project began, with approximately $450 million in equipment and ammunition being distributed in 2013 alone. Newsweek noted that the entire annual budget for the St. Louis County Police Department is less than $200 million.

“By providing law enforcement agencies with surplus military equipment free of charge, the NDAA encourages police to employ military weapons and military tactics,” wrote Wofford.

Police who are suited up for combat, though, often end up treating civilian populations as the enemy, say critics of the practice.

Kara Dansky, senior counsel for the ACLU, told TPM, “It’s a culture of militarism. We determined that the police in America have become excessively militarized. It’s dangerous because it undermines public trust in law enforcement. It makes it difficult for them to effectively police their communities.”

The 1033 program, Dansky said, suffers from a lack of transparency and accountability. Often police officers do not receive the same type of exacting safety training that military personnel who use the same equipment receive.

“The program contains a built-in incentive,” she said to TPM’s Dylan Scott. “As these local police departments receive this equipment, there are no meaningful constraints on their ability to use it.”

Possessed of such vastly superior firepower, she said, police are unlikely to show restraint. “If all you have is a hammer,” she said, “everything looks like a nail.”

Angry protesters have filled the streets of Ferguson nightly since Saturday. The Associated Press reported that some protesters have resorted to throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at police and firing weapons.

St. Louis County Police Chief Thomas Jackson ordered all media out of the area and the FAA has created a no-fly zone around the city for media and other aircraft. Officers have arrested and released reporters from the Washington Post and Huffington Post.

On Wednesday night, police fired tear gas and riot-stopping projectiles at media teams that were attempting to document the violence.

Thursday afternoon, President Barack Obama held a press conference about the violence in Ferguson, appealing for calm.

“There is never an excuse for violence against police or those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting,’ said Obama. He also called for greater police transparency and cooperation".

Breaking: PHOTOS RELEASED of Suspect Michael Brown ROBBING STORE Before Shooting


http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/08/breaking-photos-released-of-suspect-michael-brown-robbing-store-before-shooting/

--------------------------------------------------
Michael Brown was 6′ 4″ and 292 pounds.

^^^ First, needs to confirm that these pics are not fake. Next, if these pics are indeed genuine, then I would like to thank the Ferguson Police Department for reducing the local criminal population.

The defense is just because he robbed someone doesn't mean he deserves to be executed...but it sort of boosts the police officer's credibility if he is claiming Brown grabbed him and went for his gun much like Brown put his hands around that poor guy's neck.

This is Dorian Johnson, the "alleged" eyewitness who claimed that Brown was shot by the cops without provocation.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/08/15/1408118827672_Image_galleryImage_August_12_2014_Ferguson_M.JPG

Now it is emerging that he is one of the suspects in the robbery, which was attempted by Brown.

NOW THERE'S VIDEO== Michael Brown Robbing Ferguson Convenience Store


http://youtu.be/L3uNw4sNm9c

I completely agree that cops need to be held to a higher standard than everyone else, simply because they have a higher authority than most. They need to be the ones that are NEVER making mistakes.

It upsets me that the facts of the interaction between the cop and the kid haven't even been sorted out yet and people are protesting.

The protestors seem to be fighting racism with racism and that will only breed more racism....

.. And now... Denial...


... why the cops waited to release the surveillance footage, says, “It took so long for them to do that because they Photoshopped him.”


Update:
The friend who was with Michael Brown when he was shot and killed by a police officer near St. Louis over the weekend is reportedly confirming that he and Brown had taken part in the theft of cigars from a convenience store that day.

That word comes from the attorney for Dorian Johnson, speaking to MSNBC. Police in Ferguson had earlier announced that Brown was suspected of taking cigars from the convenience store in what was described as a “strong-arm robbery.”

---------------------------------------------
Was the cop wrong to fight for his life? Was anonymous right to target children of an officer because they could? Do cops need so much firepower? New black panther in town. Not for peace? How come?

My guess is all of the above actors have too much to lose for saying "we were wrong and we need to reevaluate what we do"... So nothing will change, unless for the worse.

Was the cop wrong to fight for his life? Probably

Was anonymous right to target children of an officer because they could? Doing the right thing and doing what you need to do aren't always the same.

Do cops need so much firepower? Of course. This just causes the bad guys to get bigger guns too.  The people in the crossfire are the ones who suffer.

New black panther in town. Not for peace? They do not stand for peace. Black Panters are just as bad if not worse than the Klan, but people accept them for whatever reason. Disgusting.

How come?  Liberal white people HATE white people.  I say if the Panthers can get on CNN then Klan should be allowed too.

Justice Department Reportedly Asked Ferguson Cops Not To Release Alleged Robbery Video Of Slain Teen



Police in Ferguson released a video tape allegedly showing slain teen Michael Brown robbing a store even though the Justice Department warned that doing so could enflame racial tensions, CNN is reporting.

Ferguson cops had wanted to release the video on Thursday but held off when federal officials asked them not to release the tape, an unnamed law enforcement official told CNN. That tape allegedly showed Brown stealing cigars from a convenience store before a police officer shot the unarmed 18-year-old in the street last weekend.

Despite holding off Thursday, Ferguson police still decided to release the tape Friday over the Justice Department's objections, according to CNN.

http://www.businessinsider.com/feds-objected-to-the-release-of-alleged-michael-brown-robbery-tape-2014-8

----------------------------------------------------
Holder asking the cops not to release the tape....

Some horrible pics circulating in Twitter, claiming to be the images of injuries suffered by protesters after they were shot with rubber bullets. Are rubber bullets capable of inflicting such injuries? (I thought that at the most they could cause bruises).

Rubber bullets will take off large pieces of skin when they hit you. Also, if you get hit in the eye, they can kill or blind you permanently.

I wonder how ballistically stable styrofoam would be as a 12 gauge slug. Once it hits you, it shatters into a cloud of dust.

Hmm... if these bullets can cause so much damage to the human body, then they should not be used against the civilians. The cops were already using tear gas shells. I think that was enough to scare away the protesters.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5x7D0AlZPc

 :D

It's always interesting watching people sell the talking points of the media and not focus on right, wrong and facts.  Issues like this that turn racial are no different then political issues with people picking a side like it is a game.


Most likely because they have done a awful job handling this situation from the beginning and presently.

No split image on CNN of kanye west running his mouth telling how obama hates black people...

Rubber bullets are much less harmful then real bullets, but likely would cause just as much fear. As a result they would likely be much more effective for controlling an out of control crowd then any other "tool" at the police forces' disposal without causing a massacre.

This was a while ago
They did eventually release the name but in a sense it might well be due to the fact anon doxxed them  ;D

The US police force does not need military gear and weapons to enforce the law.
It can be done with a simple pistol and baton like the old days and the good old cop car.

Rubber bullets will likely scare a crowd into disbursing while not doing as serious damage to people as real bullets will. I would certainly agree that this is the lesser of two evils.

If the police had done nothing then the consequences would likely have been much worse.

If a riot is sufficiently violent then the police could easily be out gunned if they only had pistols. Also the appearance of heavy weaponry would likely prevent violence from getting out of hand in the first place. 

Horses are more effective. People are afraid of their size and instinctively do not like to hurt innocent animals. But when you see a tank on wheels the molotovs could fly much more easily imho

Horses are not effective at dealing with crowds. They are very big, but by nature will not run through people. A horse could also likely be picked up by a group of 5 or 6 people while a tank could not be.

I don't see why people would be any less willing to hurt innocent animals then they are to throw Molotov cocktails at police officers who are just trying to do their job and maintain peace and who had nothing to do with the incident that is in dispute.

Pretty hard to claim LEOs who stand idly by during civil rights violations and don't break the blue code are "innocent".

Not like they have to worry about Mr. Ed turning state's evidence.
