FBI Interview of Key Michael Brown Witness Still Withheld After Second Document Dump
The prosecutor in charge of the Missouri grand jury that declined to indict a white police officer in the shooting death of Michael Brown released more grand jury documents Monday but still held back the FBI's interview with the man who was with Brown the day he was killed.
St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch promised to make public all of the witness testimony heard by the grand jury, and he released more than 5,700 pages of documents on Nov. 24, the day the announcement that former Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson wouldn't be indicted was announced.
After NBC station KSDK of St. Louis reported Monday that an FBI interview with Dorian Johnson — the widely reported second man who was with Brown on Aug. 9 — was missing from the papers, McCulloch released several hundred more pages on Monday, along with more than 50 audio files of police radio traffic and Brown's official autopsy report.
McCulloch released the new materials without explaining why they weren't in the initial repository of documents and without explaining why some were still being withheld despite his promise to release all of them. While the initial cache of documents did include a transcript of Johnson's testimony before the grand jury, neither set of papers includes a record of Johnson's interview with the FBI less than a week after the shooting and before he testified.
McCulloch said Nov. 24 that an important factor that led the grand jury not to indict Wilson was that several witnesses' recollections had changed over time — which he said reporters and legal analysts could see for themselves by reading the grand jury records. That remains impossible to do with Johnson's account, however, as long as his pre-grand jury statements to federal investigators remain closed.
KSDK quoted Ed Magee, McCulloch's executive assistant, as saying Monday that while McCulloch was sincere in his promise of full transparency, the prosecutor's office had "turned over and relinquished control" of some FBI interviews. He said the federal government asked St. Louis County not to release records that are part of the Justice Department's separate civil rights investigation of the shooting.

Bit offtopic but slightly related.
Da ? , seems the owner of 4chan has finally gotten annoyed of the most racist board on 4chan (/pol/) and at first I thought he shut it down because that's what peeps were saying, so I went over there to go look, and instead he has locked an autoplay interracial audio porn or something on the board to troll them. -

news.stlpublicradio.org/post/rosebud-residents-denounce-racist-displays-targeting-naacp-marchRosebud Residents Denounce Racist Displays Targeting NAACP March
The city of Rosebud, a small town about 70 miles southwest from St. Louis, is trying to reclaim its image after NAACP protesters were met there with a racially-charged counter-protest.
About 150 counter-protesters lined Highway 50 in Rosebud on Wednesday, December 3, as the NAACP marchers passed through on their "Journey for Justice" to Jefferson City to call on police departments to end racial profiling.
Rosebud Mayor Shannon Grus said most of the counter-protesters were respectfully shouting or holding signs supporting law enforcement, Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson, and the grand jury's decision not to indict Wilson in Michael Brown's shooting death. But further east on Highway 50, outside of Rosebud, someone set out a box of fried chicken and a bottle of beer. Other counter- protesters in Rosebud shouted obscenities and even hoisted a Confederate flag.
Two days after NAACP marchers met a hostile counter-protest in Rosebud, a sign remains further east along Highway 50 near the city of Gerald.
In a letter she sent to a local newspaper, Grus called these actions “completely disrespectful and honestly sickening.” Now many in the community are speaking out to say the deeds of a few don't represent their whole city.
“Everybody I’ve talked to in here, no one has been happy about those few that made all the noise. I haven’t talked to anybody who is proud of that," said Beth Klenke, owner of Cuppa Joel coffeehouse.
Klenke said the march was peaceful and that the NAACP protesters had a right to express their opinions. She said many Rosebud residents also wanted to express their views, but some people moved away when they turned into "personal attacks" because "they didn't want to be associated with that."
It may be hard for some of the approximately 400 residents to square a racist display with their view of the small town with a "magnificent mile" of restaurants and antique shops. It's not uncommon to hear allusions to Mayberry and Normal Rockwell and phrases like "quaint" and "true Americana" when describing Rosebud.
Some think the fact that residents and business owners got an early warning the protest would come through town may have escalated apprehensions.
“I think there was a lot of fear in this area of what happened in Ferguson and it was the fear of the unknown of what these protesters were going to do," said Tom Wright, owner of Old Factory Antique Mall. "They said it was going to be a peaceful protest in Ferguson and you saw what happened there."
Wright said the incident has been blown out of proportion. As he drove his buggy along Highway 50, Wright said he heard people call Michael Brown a thief and a thug, but he did not hear any racial slurs. He also said the counter-protesters who had tried to block the marchers' path moved out of the road when asked by police and that claims that the NAACP's bus window was shot out were false.
"I think that a lot of the people that did turn out were there just to make sure that nothing happened in their community as far as destroying it or looting or anything like that," he said. "Sometimes things get carried away a little bit and people get caught up in the moment and say things they don’t mean to say."
Two days after the incident, the only remaining signs to be found along Highway 50 read "We Support the Grand Jury," "We Support Darren Wilson," and "NAACP Racist," and they were posted outside of the city lines.
Some residents, like former mayor Clyde Zelch, believe most of the hecklers weren’t even from Rosebud.
“I’m sure we’ve got a few people who are just like those in Ferguson who would say or don’t something they should not do," he said. "But I didn’t think everyone from Ferguson was burning the place down, and I don’t want people thinking these few dingbats represent all of us.”
During the march, Zelch said he held up a sign saying “The Grand Jury Got It Right" and "Justice Was Served." But as a veteran, he said he respected the marchers' right to protest, even if he disagrees that there are a lot of inequalities.
“I think most of the time that is in someone’s head," he said. "In this country now, in my opinion, you are born just as free and as zeroed out as I am, and you make your life the way what you want it to be. It is a bad thing for any of us, no matter what color, to try to make up excuses for why we don’t have everything and anything we want.”
While the U.S. Census Bureau says Rosebud is 97 percent white with virtually no black residents, Zelch says it’s more diverse than people think.
"There have been different families living here, Pakistani families, who are far darker than you or I," he said. "They never had any problems, so I think Rosebud is an ideal town to raise a family in."
But that hasn't stopped the accusations of racism. Zelch said he learned his personal contact information had been posted online after he received an anonymous text message calling him a racist.
Other business owners have also felt the impact of the "vile and personal attacks," said Angie Clancy of Clancy's Market Place.
“We have a Facebook page, and I just recently received a message from someone who said they’d never stop in Rosebud again, because they don’t want to support racists," she said. "I don’t normally comment on those comments...but I just felt I should. I said I was so sorry to hear that and hopefully you wouldn’t judge the whole town by the actions of a few."
The former St. Louis County resident said she supports law enforcement and the grand jury’s decision. But she also said she strongly believes in the "right to protest and get things done," and, to a certain extent, understands the marchers’ call for changes in policing.
"Sure, there’s changes need to be made all over the place, and for those marching through, kudos to them for picking up the valor to do that," she said. "If they feel so sincere about these issues, there must be validity to them. We need to look into what’s going on if they feel this way, because no one should feel...they are being punished or targeted."
They weren’t doing it because they felt like marching down the road Wednesday afternoon. They had a real purpose," Clancy added. "I empathized with them and their courage. They're trying and that's wonderful. I back them 100 percent."
And Clancy hopes people will back Rosebud, too, for being the "peaceful, patriotic, respectful town" she knows it is. -

Clearly that is not Mike Brown and if it's making the rounds then it's only for those who want to justify the actions for DW because they know deep down he was wrong. -
