Ferguson Police Protect and Serve Themselves With Michael Brown Smear

Either deliberate or thoughtless, Chief Tom Jackson tried to change the narrative about the teen his officer killed—and revealed his true loyalties in the process.

The smear came from what Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson did not say when he released a video and an incident report implicating 18-year-old Michael Brown in a strong-arm robbery minutes before he was shot to death by an officer who has finally been identified as Darren Wilson.

The report notes that a detailed description of Brown, right down to his yellow socks and red baseball cap, had gone out over the police radio.

Intended or not, the implication was that this had led Wilson to approach Brown and that the teen’s death had been related to the crime.
