DOJ Responds To “Leaks” In Darren Wilson Investigation

Michael Brown’s mom at her son’s funeral

I choose not to use the phrase “Michael Brown case.” The reason why is because Michael Brown is not under investigation. He is deceased and thus, there is no case that can be filed against him. The investigation is into the acts of Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, MO police officer currently on paid vacation because he killed Michael Brown.

A “leak” that Darren Wilson testified before the grand jury came out weeks ago. Now, the St. Louis County’s Medical Examiners autopsy has become public, followed by another “leak” of Darren Wilson’s side of the story. Some are trying to mold Wilson’s story into their interpretation of Mike’s autopsy.

Michael Brown’s dad at his son’s funeral.

Those who know me no doubt know that I seldom get involved analyzing autopsies. I keep it simple, only discussing those things that are logically understood. In our circle of warriors are nurses, and they are able to explain medical findings in laymen terms.

That is why I can’t help but gag when people who have no education in medical science, no education in criminal forensics, and don’t know their right from their left, purport that Mike’s autopsy confirms Wilson’s story.

(I say they don’t know their right from their left because, after the independent autopsy was released showing that Mike was shot on the right side of his body, those supporting Wilson circulated an autopsy photo that had the shots on the left side of Mike’s body.)

Oh – and let me add that they have no logic whatsoever. Effectively, we don’t need to know the details of what happened in Wilson’s vehicle because what happened there did not result in Michael Brown’s death.

It was after Wilson got out of his vehicle and shot at a fleeing Mike, that we question if it was reasonable. Once Mike ran, Wilson’s self-defense claim goes out of the window – PERIOD. 

By all eyewitness accounts, Wilson shot at Michael as he ran away, and continued shooting him as Michael stopped running, and turned around with his hands in the air surrendering.

Please allow me to add this; the leaked side of Wilson’s story is that he was unable to fire his gun more than twice while in the vehicle, because Mike was holding down the mechanism to prevent it from firing. Logically, that sounds like a young man more interested in not being shot again, rather than taking the gun.  Even the leaked story that Michael hit Wilson so hard to almost knock him unconsciousness indicates that Michael was fighting for his life — not for the gun to end Wilson’s life.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released a statement saying that he is “exasperated” at the “selective flow of information.” He calls the leaks inappropriate, and says he is highly suspect of local authorities. Government sources have been cited in some leaks, but Wednesday night Dena W. Iverson, spokesperson for the Department of Justice, released a statement saying:

“The department considers the selective release of information in this investigation to be irresponsible and highly troubling. Since the release of the convenience store footage there seems to be an inappropriate effort to influence public opinion about this case.”

The Department of Justice needs to get a clue. The leaks are not to influence public opinion but rather, they are to influence public REACTION.   Certain White Supremacists in this country, Canada, and New Zealand, have wanted a “race war” since Barack Obama was elected President in 2008.   Those significant in using social media to provoke racial tensions have been identified by Anonymous. This brings me to a related subject;

A person on Twitter who advocates for equal justice was personally identified by the person who was reported on this blog by scrodriguez. LionHeartress1 was identified because she posted to a comment section on the internet and her email address was revealed.

The cyber-extortionist uses a software program called “Creepy” where the user can enter a Twitter handle, and the program traces the city and state. The cyber-extortionists comb forums, blogs, Facebook, and other internet media in effort to match what the individual has shared about their personal life with the area where they live.  Then they lay a bait, accusing the person of being on welfare, a low-level call center worker, etc., hoping that the person defends themselves and reveals their profession or where they work.  (I don’t want to cause unnecessary alarm. The program only uses Twitter handles.)

While one cyber-extortionist gets email addresses, cities and states, he passes that information to another of his group who subscribes to background check programs. If it reveals the employer of their target, then several others get involved contacting the employer and complaining about their target’s use of social media. Another of the group then makes insinuations on her Twitter account to give false impressions of the target victim. Last week, an employer found it necessary to terminate LionHeartress1 because of the harassment of the cyber-extortionists.

Some months ago, I was threatened with fraudulent reports of practicing law without a license and impersonating a lawyer unless I removed my presence on blogs. Actually, I laughed at the ignorance of the cyber-extortionists because they don’t know the difference between legal information and legal advice. That however, is not the same as being gainfully employed today, and unemployed tomorrow, because of the schemes, lies, and actions of cyber-extortionists. The cyber-extortionists have gone beyond threats and actions to get people off the internet, to actually depriving them of property.

Not being able to get to me, and having a restraining order against him where he can no longer harass scrodriguez, the cyber-extortionist has now traced an author of this blog; Towerflower. Towerflower should not worry because the cyber-extortionist is now well-known by law enforcement. Just file a report with the local police department so it’s a matter of record.  Towerflower’s connection with this blog, being an author along with scrodriguez, automatically places her on scrodriguez’s restraining order as a person who the cyber-extortionist cannot harass.

The cyber-extortionist is now doing his dirty work in stealth so it’s not associated with his IP address, including using a computer at the law firm where he interns, accessing the files of clients who have filed for bankruptcy. He then searches Facebook to see if those clients, or their Facebook friends, have posted anything in opposition to those who the cyber-extortionist adores, such as George Zimmerman or  Darren Wilson. If they have, he engages in the racial harassment that has become his pattern.

This same group of cyber-extortionists are attacking protesters in Ferguson and St. Louis – anyone they can identify by name, and also attacking witnesses to the Michael Brown killing. I don’t approve of using violence, but appreciate that Anonymous understands the danger, emotional drama, and harm caused by the group of cyber-extortionists.
