Now that Michael Brown has been laid to rest in Ferguson, Missouri, don’t expect the liberal media, the race hustlers or the Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate what happened in West Point, Mississippi.
In the Ferguson incident, Brown, right after committing a robbery that was captured on video tape, was involved in an altercation with police officer Darren Wilson. As he was walking down the middle of a street, he may or may not have injured Wilson or charged at him. Sadly, we do know that Brown is dead after being shot six times by Wilson. Whether Wilson feared for his life or used appropriate force remains to be seen. An investigation is proceeding and a grand jury has been impaneled.
The appropriate response to this tragedy would have been to call for a thorough investigation and to withhold judgment until more facts are uncovered. In contrast, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, a Democrat, called for a “speedy prosecution” of Wilson. Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in Ferguson with a slew of FBI agents who are conducting a separate investigation and may charge Wilson with civil rights violations.
At Brown’s funeral, rappers attended, along with politicians and three members of the Obama White House staff. While the President has ignored the funerals of his family members, war heroes, Medal of Honor winners and world leaders such as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, he has given extra attention to Brown, only because of the racial mix of the two people involved. If the officer was black or Brown was white, no one would know about this story and the President would have ignored it like he does the murders of 8,000 African Americans who are killed each year by other African Americans.
On the money...again...
