I can only report on what I saw on the CNN videos that one night where stuff started up about 11 pm. From several cameras. There were a lot of red shirts running around, with a sprinkling of dark blue/black - tough to tell in the bad lighting. And a few white t-shirts.
That corresponds very closely with what family in the area has told me.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

My friends and family in that area are really ticked over the biased coverage, favoring the Brown side of the story. Personally, this whole event has proven what can happen when people's instant passions/agendas get in the way of truth.

Mixed bag with my group - all agree about the gang bangers out at night causing all the trouble, though. No doubt about that - you can see it in the film and no matter how biased the news, when they show red, that means bloods. Blue is crips. No ambiguity at all. I keep telling both sides - wait until the whole story is out....

All circumstances surrounding Brown's death aside, why is the White House sending representation to attend his funeral? They don't do that for many of the high-ranking members of the military killed in the line of duty. They don't do that for police or firefighters who are killed in the course of saving lives. They don't do that for inventors, or industry leaders to better the lives of millions.
But a guy who robbed a convince store, and got shot either fleeing, or attacking a cop gets such honors.
The White House is not just sending one, but 3 officials to attend. Broderick Johnson, Marlon Marshall, and Heather Foster will all be present to honor and celebrate the life of Michael Brown.
Politics twists reason.

They claim that Marshall went to school with Brown’s mother. Al Sharpton is giving the eulogy, I’m sure that won’t be racially-charged. Oh, does anyone know if the White House sent anyone to Major General Harold Greene’s funeral?

No, but White House Spokesman Josh Earnest made this statement: "While we have made tremendous progress in disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda operations and leadership in Afghanistan and progress in winding down U.S. involvement in that conflict, this shooting, of course, is a painful reminder of the service and sacrifice that our men and women in uniform make every day for this country." It was nice that the White House could use Greene's death to highlight their "tremendous progress."

I heard snippets of $harpton’$ eulogy. He ripped into the police. Transcripted (more or less) here: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/08/michael-brown-funeral-al-sharpton-110315.htmlIf assault on the cop is proven in the investigation, $harpton will look like an idiot. Wait....what? You can pretty much expect to end up on the wrong end of a Glock when you assault an LEO.

That’s pretty lame, even by your standards.

No kidding. And wow, I guess its okay to vilify the cop by alleged prior acts, but mention that Brown was shady and "Oh my God, how dare you!"

After reviewing the evidence, Holder is now going after the "policies and procedures" of the Ferguson police department.
It's obvious that Holder must be part of the grand police conspiracy now since he did not charge Wilson with Murder. Either that or he found out Wilson used a gun that was part of the Fast & Furious program.
