Ferguson

The lid may be about to blow.

The Missouri woman whose Twitter account publicized supposedly confidential information about the grand jury proceedings in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown says she didn't send the tweet and her account was "probably hacked."
  CNN
Yeah, whatever.
The woman, who CNN is not identifying, said in an interview with reporters on the doorstep of her home that she hadn't used her Twitter account in months and thought she had deleted it.
Her name is on the Tweet, so she’s already been identified, hasn’t she?
The developments came on the same day the prosecutor's office said the investigation into the controversial shooting death in the St. Louis suburb has been completed.

[...]

"The matter has been referred to the prosecuting attorney for investigation," said a statement from the St. Louis County court administrator.

Maybe the proper term here is "ex-friend".  And now she's going to take her chances lying to investigators.  Brilliant.  


"He said that the commanders, very specifically communicated that they did not expect Darren Wilson to be indicted & it could come by Oct 15.  Speaking confidentially, an officer communicated that they received an order that they could NOT go on leave because of what is coming soon.  When I contacted the Missouri National Guard & the University of Missouri ROTC, they stonewalled, saying no comment, & passed me to PR.  
"Now, speaking today with a very respected activist on the ground about what I learned about the Missouri National Guard training for riots. 
"The activist said leaders on the ground are COMPLETELY sure that a deliberate & organized attempt to destabilize protestors is underway." 

Could well be. Could well be. I wonder just how much they really want to protect Officer Wilson.
