Additionally, whenever I have had to call the AppleCare line people have been courteous and helpful.

Obscene, that the very people who have outdone themselves in poisoning the mind of the public against officer Darren Wilson should now strike poses as advocates of peace and calm.  They know that only violence will attract the media attention they crave, but contrive to maintain the appearance of not being responsible for it.

The media has come very close to inciting to riot here.

There can now be little reasonable doubt about who initiated hostilities at Wilson's squad car.

The newly released radio dispatches prove that an alert on the Ferguson Market theft had gone out (with the 911 caller heard in the background), followed by an accurate description of Brown, and that Wilson was "on the lookout" for him.  When he radioed "Put me on Canfield with two, and send me a car," moments after admonishing Brown and Johnson to clear the road, he obviously intended to question Brown (still clutching cigars.)

Still, the media just can't bring itself to relinquish the delectable fiction that Wilson was officiously "hassling" Brown, for the offense of "walking while Black."  The soul of the typical media scribe resonates so deeply to this meme that it can't be given up.  And how often have we heard a journalist, or "media personality," acknowledge that Brown was in possession of the material needed to make "blunts" of stolen "cigarillos"?  (Source: Darren Wilson says Michael Brown kept charging, SLPD, 10-22-14.)  Never, that's when.

Some facts, to the liberal mind, are simply too "prejudicial" to acknowledge.

When Brown saw Wilson backing up to him, he could hardly have failed to appreciate that he was faced with the prospect of being "frisked," with disastrous consequence.

Can anyone name a single media source that has communicated these considerations to the public?  I thought not.  

The prolonged silence of the grand jury leads to one of two conclusions:  The most credible evidence exonerates Wilson, or some sort of massive "cover up," involving not only Ferguson but St. Louis County, is in progress.  If the latter, one would think Holder would say something.

Finally, I find it odd that you're taking this higher-moral-ground approach to the possibility of violence, looking to blame the media and some as-yet-unnamed people who apparently crave attention, when just the other day you were wetting your pants with excitement for that violence to happen because you felt it would serve the fortunes of a cause that gets uglier, dumber, more small-minded and, yes, more violent, all the time.

He had a funny way of questioning suspects. He had already shot him before he made the call to dispatch.

He shoots them and then begins to question them??? Is that proper police procedure???

Or is it: "shoot em, call for backup, and then shoot em some more so they can't be questioned".

12:01:57 Wilson's 3 second call to dispatch begins: "21. Put me on Canfield with two. And send me another car".

12:02:00 Wilson's 3 second call to dispatch ends and he then begins to chase Brown down.

12:02:07 Wilson begins shooting Brown who is now facing him 135 feet from the police SUV. [Final barrage of 10 shots takes 7 seconds]

12:02:14 Wilson fires the last of 10 shots and Brown now lies dead on the street.

And some people ask me why a Timeline is important.

The Ferguson officer could announce his plans to resign as soon as Friday, the same day a St. Louis County grand jury meets to deliberate and possibly decide on an indictment.

If a grand jury decision comes Friday, prosecutors are expected to provide law enforcement with 48 hours notice before making a public announcement, possibly on Sunday.

The school district for Jennings, Missouri -- which neighbors Ferguson -- has canceled classes for Monday and Tuesday of next week, according to its Facebook page.

1.  no intelligence failure prior to the attacks
   
2.  no stand down order was issued during attacks
   
3.  the administration's initial talking points about the attacks were based on the Central Intelligence Agency's assessment at the time, as the administration has long maintained.
