This is not the narrative that the MSM wants.

It, this fact, may entirely explain Al Sharpton’s commentary and the President’s quiescence.

Both figure to have been informed of this politically salient fact early on.

The perp also, apparently, beat the Hell out of the arresting officer. His side arm was, apparently, a last resort.

So the narrative is not following the agitprop script, no, not at all.

As for the Black on Black riots: is it any wonder that retail businesses flee the darker part of town?

Coincidentally, Democrats get funded from Jackson and Sharpton too, although only in an ancillary fashion. Those two serve as the Overseers, in effect, collecting the taxes from blacks heightened with the Passion of rhetoric (Jackson rhetoric mind you). This is in return for certain privileges and immunities, which are Not extended to the black commoners being used as cannonfodder to keep the police forces in line.

In the South, if you ever spoke out against Democrat antics in Civil War I or various other issues, you were considered an outsider, an alien, or invader, someone that cannot be trusted. This prevented people from even admitting they were voting for people like Reagan, until Reagan at least. The same psychological conditioning method is used to keep the police and other National Park Ranger do gooders in line. They either sit down and shut up, Obeying Authority. Or they quit. Either way is fine for maintaining control of a Death Star type organizational factor.

One State. One Loyalty. Nothing outside the State. One Death Star. One Life. One Death. One for all, and all for the Messiah.

And on the other side, cops who look and act like special forces, but with less restrictive ROE and a lot less training.

The MSM sifts through the available information and picks and chooses what it reports and what it doesn’t report, and how it reports it, to establish the immediate and therefore dominant “narrative” that fits its preconceived leftist ideology.

So, we see pictures of a cherubic Michael Brown that show him as much less of the hulking heavy weight that he apparently was. In the early critical days, no mention is made of his connection of a possible robbery, nor are the pictures of him found on the Internet, flashing gang symbols reported, and it is not mentioned that Mr. Dorian Johnson, the “eyewitness” who was with him at the time of the shooting who is being quoted in stories about a defenseless Brown being gunned down by the cops for no reason, was suspected by the police to be the second man with Brown at the convenience store.

The initial narrative about Brown now established, anything coming after will first have the burden of having to change that initial narrative that has already been fixed in everyone’s minds.

P.S. More news is breaking by the hour.

Take a look at these articles from today, in which it is stated that the lawyer for”eyewitness” Johnson, has admitted that Brown and Johnson robbed the convenience store (http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/08/15/swisher-sweets-theft-may-be-key-detail-in-brown-shooting-case/ and http://www.ksdk.com/story/news/local/2014/08/15/attorney-dorian-johnson-michael-brown-robbery/14118769/), plus information about the importance of the cheap “Swisher sweets” cigars that were stolen, and could be hollowed out, filled with pot and then smoked.

The parallels with the Treyvon Martin case are startling.

So far we have the not-exhaustive list of similarities.

Both were initially reported as younger than they were.
Neither was a resident of the community where they died.
Both were involved in criminal activity immediately prior to being killed.
Both have had their social media scrubbed clean, ex post facto.
Both have been juvenile records sealed, also ex post facto, to better sell the narrative of future astronaut-in-training.
Both were from broken families, yet the media portrayed the exact opposite.
In both cases, the media sold a false narrative of how long their bodies were unattended (left in the street for hours vs. in the morgue for 3 days).
In both cases, t-shirts had been printed up almost immediately, and the Black Panthers were on the scene within a day,

The list goes on, but I’ll leave it there.
