Michael Brown's Friend Side Of The Story Ignored By Grand Jury!

Dorian Johnson's testimony was shelved. 

The document dump in the wake of a grand jury decision to not indict the officer in the shooting of Michael Brown. It continues along with the protests.

The friend of Michael Brown, Dorian Johnson still to this day gets death threats. He was being smeared by the racist right as a criminal. Despite Johnson and Brown both having no criminal records, the racist right will never believe a THUG's account.

It's a shame that Dorian is judged by the junk food media for being an "accomplice" to a "robbery".

The hair, tattoos, and his demeanor are the only things that the racist right focuses on.

St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said the newly released records were inadvertently excluded from the thousands of pages of other documents made public Nov. 24, when a grand jury decided not to charge Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson for killing Brown.

The freshly publicized documents include a transcript of an interview of Brown's friend Dorian Johnson conducted by the FBI and county police just four days after the Aug. 9 confrontation in which the white officer shot the black 18-year-old. Previously released forensic evidence showed that Brown was not shot in the back but was struck by bullets in the head, chest and arm.

Johnson's account to investigators was generally similar to his later grand jury testimony, in which he portrayed Wilson as the aggressor during a struggle that began at the officer's vehicle and led to a brief chase before Brown's fatal shooting.

In both his original interview and his Sept. 10 grand jury testimony, which was previously released, Johnson said that Wilson reached out of his vehicle window toward Brown's throat or shirt. During the ensuing struggle, Johnson said he never saw Brown touch Wilson's gun.

Wilson told grand jurors that Brown grabbed ahold of his weapon and twisted it toward the officer's leg. The officer eventually fired his gun from inside the vehicle. Forensic evidence showed that Brown's hand was shot at close range. Brown and Johnson then ran.

In his August interview, Johnson initially was adamant that he had seen Johnson get shot in the back while running.

"It definitely struck him in his back," Johnson said, later adding: "It caused him to stop."

Asked by a detective how he knew Brown had been shot in the back, Johnson replied: "If it would've missed him, or if he wouldn't have felt it, I believe he would've kept runnin."

Under further questioning, Johnson later acknowledged that he didn't see a bullet hit Brown's back, but he remained adamant that Brown's back was toward Wilson when he fired a shot.

By almost all witness accounts, Brown turned at some point to face the officer.

Johnson described Brown's hands as being raised, one higher than the other. Wilson told grand jurors that one of Brown's hands was clenched in a fist and the other at his waist as Brown began charging back at Wilson.

As with the previously released grand jury documents, the witness transcripts released Saturday varied in their accounts of Brown's hands. One witness said Brown's "hands kinda went up." Another said Brown's hands were up briefly but he then ran toward Wilson. Another said Brown threw up his hands and said something that sounded like, "Don't kill me."

Among the documents released Saturday was a witness list, with all of the names of the witnesses whited out. It shows that 62 people testified before the grand jury between Aug. 20 and Nov. 21, including some who appeared multiple times. Some of the people interviewed by federal authorities did not testify before the grand jury.

McCulloch apologized in a written statement for any confusion that may have occurred by failing to initially release all of the interview transcripts. He said he believes he has now released all of the grand jury evidence, except for photos of Brown's body and anything that could lead to witnesses being identified.

There were major protests over the weekend. Rev. Perm and his National Action Network organized a march to Washington in protest of police brutality.

The racist right sought to undermine this event. Breitfart and Loserville ran this video of protesters chanting "What do we want! Dead Cops! When do we want it! Now!"

The folks over at Loserville tried to deceptively edit the chants alongside Rev. Perm's call to peace.

The mothers of Trayvon Martin, Jonathon Crawford, Darrien Hunt, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Tamir Rice were in attendance. Benjamin Crump the attorney for Martin, Brown and now Rice is hoping this rally could change how law enforcement use deadly force against unarmed suspects.

Beavercreek Cops Tried To Sweat John Crawford's Girlfriend!

Beavercreek detective aggressively questions girlfriend of Jonathan Crawford III.

There's a video circulating online showing Jonathan Crawford III's girlfriend being grilled by a detective for the Beavercreek police.

Beavercreek, Ohio is a suburb of Dayton. It's located six miles from the Dayton central business district. It's one of the most conservative communities in Ohio. This year, the city came under heavy criticism after an officer involved deadly shooting involving Sean Williams, the officer who put the slugs in Crawford. He along with Sergeant David Darkow both responded to the event on a call of an active shooter.

Crawford was in Walmart buying groceries with his girlfriend. He picked up an opened air rifle and was walking through the aisle. While on the phone he was talking to the mother of his children. He didn't even notice the officers. The officers ordered him to drop the weapon. They claim he didn't reply so Williams shot him from a distance. Crawford was hit twice. He would die on route to hospital.

Crawford's girlfriend Tasha Thomas was in tears after being interviewed by the Rodney Curd, the detective assigned to case.

Officer Curd: 'You and John went into Walmart, at some point as I understand it, John produced a gun. You were with him just moments before that, weren't you?'
Tasha Thomas: Yes, sir
Curd: OK, Tell me where he got the gun from.
Thomas: Sir I don't know - I honestly don't know.
Curd: And the truth is you knew at some point he did carry a gun, isn't it?
Thomas: No sir, I didn't know. I swear I didn't know.
Curd: You see, I'm having trouble with this.
Thomas: [Through tears] Please, give me a lie detector test!

This was being done  a few hours after the shooting. This video was released by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine under the FOIA.

Officer Sean Williams is currently on administrative leave and desk duty after he put the slugs in Crawford after a caller tipped off the police to a man being in a Walmart with a rifle aiming at people. The grand jury found that Williams acted in the right in the shooting and he wasn't charged.

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating if Williams used excessive force.

Williams reacted in the best interest. However, he didn't use proper judgement.

Michael Wright the attorney for Crawford's family has filed a lawsuit against Beavercreek, Walmart, Williams and Darkow. The chief of police for Beavercreek is facing pressure to "retire" in the wake of this controversy.

Another lawsuit is being issued against the city of Beavercreek. Angie Williams was a shopper in the area Walmart. She witnessed the shooting. That gave her a heart attack and she dies on her way to the hospital. Angie is not related to the officer.

Beavercreek also garnered attention after the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority fought the city for establishing bus stops near the Mall at Fairfield Commons and Soin Medical Center.

Beavercreek city leaders rejected the bus service for ten years. The Department of Justice and Federal Highway Administration warned the city that if they reject the bus one more time, they lose federal funding.

UPDATE: TASHA THOMAS WAS KILLED ON JANUARY 1, 2015 IN A DEADLY CAR ACCIDENT. SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF THREE CHILDREN. WE HERE AT JOURNAL DE LA REYNA SEND OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF TASHA THOMAS AND JOHN CRAWFORD III.

Damn Shame America!

Eric Garner the father of six was killed by law enforcement. He was unarmed. He was placed in a restriction hold and suffocated. Garner died and his killer walked. The racist right agitators are claiming that Black America should channel their rage towards President Barack Obama and black-on-everyone else crime instead of attacking the law.

Why isn't is all this reaction towards police brutality not an issue during the Midterms?

Those who opposed Republicans didn't take all this activism to the ballot box.

Those who allowed Republicans to take control of Congress support the grand jury decisions to allow law enforcement to walk. They don't care about the victims being unarmed or in legal right to. They just rather see the individual (especially Black) as villains.

Since we have Barack Obama as our first Black president, every issue in America is being examined through the racial lens. Of course, when the people of color express outrage to a system that in their minds perceived as a benefit for one group and not another, then we really have a problem.

Whites believe Obama gives more to Blacks. White women (a huge block for the president) have turned on him too. Even the most liberal co-workers at my job are upset that the president meddled in controversial issues such as the Michael Brown shooting.

Blacks believe that Whites are more hostile towards Obama because of his race. Here's an example of how Blacks looks at Whites. Check out the former Alaskan governor who is an annoying agitator. Then there's Mr. 9/11 and that annoying conservative agitator on Loserville who rally for indictments of Michael Brown's stepfather. They don't understand the raw anger of injustice. They focus on symbolic words or threats of incitement.

Post by Sarah Palin.

We have Hispanics and Asians upset that immigration reform is being stalled because of prejudices by Republican and Democrat lawmakers in Washington, DC.

We have people of religion who feel that the negativity of the junk food media forces people out of the faith. When the media was talking about criminal acts in the Catholic church, the Jewish synagogue, the Christian church, and Islamic mosque, people have found that there's no hope.

So it leads to Americans having a sharp decline in faith enrollment because of the media's perception of religion.

Honestly, there is no god if there's all the injustice in the world.

Now the #CrimingWhileWhite meme has become a rallying cry for protesters to point out even in America, the perception of law enforcement going easy on White people has brought an injustice to those in America.

The Hollywood Reporter says that former Daily Show writer Jason Ross, who is white, created the meme. He revealed the minimal punishment he received from police for crimes he committed while growing up.

Cop In Eric Garner Stranglehold Walks!

The cop involved in the death by stranglehold of Eric Garner walked free tonight. Of course, I told you to not hold your breathe for an indictment.

This is the straw that broke the camel's back. Too many times.

A grand jury decided not to indict NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo involved in Garner's death.

Eric Garner (September 15, 1970 – July 17, 2014) had been employed as a horticulturist at the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

Garner was a 350-pound (160 kg), 43-year-old, 6'3" (1.91 m) tall, asthmatic African American man.

He has been described by his friends as a "neighborhood peacemaker" and as a generous, congenial person. He had six children.Garner had been previously arrested and was out on bail for selling untaxed cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession and false personification. All minor offensives.

To the racist right, it's nothing but criminal behavior from a THUG.

To the racist right, it's Barack Obama, Rev. Perm and Eric Holder who inspire Black criminal behavior.

To the racist right every time Blacks react to an injustice, expect those agitators to throw around this condescending Black on Black crime meme. The racist right would rather see the Blacks stop blaming America. Black America believes that these justified "homicides" by those wearing badges is a a travesty.

More developments will follow as we continue to cover this.

Tidbits!

Oh it's Jell-O.

While I couldn't squeeze all the things happening during the weekend. I wanted to briefly cover some of the musings.

A pregnant woman in Ferguson, Missouri loss sight in her left eye after a non-lethal bean bag projectile went through a glass of her boyfriend's vehicle. She was protesting the decision. Her boyfriend's car was decorated with tributes to Michael Brown.

A Michigan man was stopped in Pontiac, Michigan by an officer on a call that he was looking "suspicious" by having his hands in his pocket. I'm not sure if this was staged or not, but it made me concerned.

We wait for the grand jury decision (not holding my breathe) on the Eric Garner case. Garner was placed in a chokehold by a NYPD officer. The grand jury is looking into whether excessive force and involuntary manslaughter should be placed on the officer. Garner was unarmed and officer Daniel Pantale grabbed him. Garner told the arresting officers he couldn't breathe and it didn't stop the wrangling down. After two minutes he was unconscious. They waited another three minutes before they could get medical assistance. He was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital. Bill de Blasio and the NYPD police chief are trying to calm the potential for a public backlash.

As Republican state attorney general Mike DeWine gets involved in the Cleveland police shooting of Tamir Rice, the public believes that the two officers who shot Rice will not be indicted.

The Black Friday sales were at a low. Trouble looms for struggling big box stores. Too many discounts happened before Black Friday. Some businesses opened on Thanksgiving to serve customers.

Congressman Pete King (R-NY) and Rat Face Mark Levin want the president to apologize to Darren Wilson. The controversial agitator and his Islamophobic lawmaker buddy wants the president to invite the shooter of Michael Brown to the White House to public acknowledge he was wrong. Again the Republicans want the president to apologize. The very same ones who believe he apologizes for America. C'mon be serious.

Florida Republican official went to the social networks to say that Darren Wilson should be given a medal and the protesters should get their asses showered with the water cannons.

Bill Cosby was one of the most trusted individuals in the world. He ranked really high. But after allegations of rape by numerous women came forth, his stock tumbled. Nickelodeon pulled the plug on The Cosby Show. All shows that feature Bill Cosby are pulled. That means Fat Albert, iSpy, The Bill Cosby Show, A Diff'rent World, Cosby, Little Bill are off the roster. He recently resigned as an adviser to Temple University. The colleges cut ties with him. Some comedy clubs have banned him. Years of work, down the drain for the world's most favorite dad and complainer of the Black community.

How The Racist Right Reacted To The Tamir Rice Shooting!

If you're Black man playing with a gun, you're likely going to get shot.

Again, don't hold your breathe. Most Black Americans figured since the Michael Brown shooting, this incident in Cleveland will only result in the two officers walking free. They were responsible for shooting a 12 year old boy on Saturday. They responded to a call of the child who was playing with a gun. According to the White caller Tamir Rice was holding a toy gun and "caused a panic".

After all, if Tamir Rice was in Walmart or walking on a neighborhood street, he at least would have been shot at a distance than at close range.

Blacks have more distrust for law enforcement. Darren Wilson can freely live his life as a husband, father and private citizen. It's a damn shame that the shooters live while Michael Brown, John Crawford III, Tamir Rice, Darrien Hunt, and Trayvon Martin are dead.

The White conservative extremist's perception of young Black males and even Black professionals is basically simple: Either the shooting victim was:

A) THUG
B) OBAMA'S SON
C) LIBERAL
D) CRIMINAL
E) NIGGER
F) ALL OF THE ABOVE

Pick your answer.

Now here's a link from Facebook. This is coming from Conservative Daily, a website that follows news from the racist right prospective. Some of the comments from the link will contain offensive language.

Post by Conservative Daily.

Tamir Rice Video Release Sparks Outrage! [NSFW]

Tamir Rice was shot by Cleveland Police after they believed that he was holding a firearm. Turns out that it was a toy.

Unrest continues in Ferguson. The racial divide has gotten worse. White America is totally pissed at President Barack Obama. I mean 3 out of 10 White voters support the president. Roughly 27% support the president. The sharp divide helped the Republicans win control of Congress.

The Republicans seeking more opportunity. After all they've won the year. With all the talk of Ebola, ISIS, Michael Brown and presidential executive orders being spin by the racist right and those in the junk food media, White folks don't like it when Obama throws his weight into these issues.

Now the president will now be driven into another controversy. The shooting of Tamir Rice, a 12 year old boy who was playing with a pellet gun getting gunned down by Cleveland Police.

Rookie officer Timothy Loehmann fired the shots the moment he exited his vehicle.

The video is disturbing. In the video, Rice is walking around playing with the pellet gun. About a few minutes later the child is sitting at a gazebo at the West Boulevard Cudell Community Center. In about twenty seconds, the Cleveland police arrive and within the first second of arrival, the child goes down.

The officer along with veteran partner Frank Garmack were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.

Now in the wake of the Ferguson decision, how much you bet that the officers will walk?

Second, will the junk food media look into what he's done in his short life?

Will they associate family, friends, a civil rights activist, or the president into this controversy?

Will the racist right call him either a thug or a NIGGER?

And with that being said, here's the video.

Cleveland Police's Slugs Kills Teen Playing With Fake Gun!

Cleveland police kill a teen who was playing legally with an airsoft pellet gun.

And the beat goes on!

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Tamir Rice.

As the nation watches the outcome of Ferguson, the Cleveland Police are under fire for shooting a juvenile who was playing with an Airsoft pellet gun.

A White man calls the dispatch on a teen playing with a gun. The officers respond with deadly response.

The law reports that the teen wasn't pointing the weapon at the officers.

There will be a federal investigation and disciplinary action to the first year officer and a veteran officer. They are on administrated leave after this. The officers were called to West Boulevard on reports of a child playing with a gun. Some have also claimed that the firearm could be "fake". The law responded accordingly. The officers claimed that they ordered the teen to drop the weapon. According to the officers they saw the teen reach into his waist and the officer (first year) fired two slugs into the child.

Cleveland police facing a huge controversy after a child was killed.

Tamir E. Rice was rushed to the local hospital died in surgery.

Here's what happens when police officers shoot unarmed or mistaken as suspects. If they're Black shooting victims by law enforcement, the media releases the name. Then of course, the outrage from the political arm chair assholes. Then the racial extremists who have the audacity to label the dead a "thug" or a "nigger".

Can't wait to hear what the conservative agitators say about this situation!

Fred 101, are you going to claim that the boy was assaulting an officer?

Listen carefully, Fred 101, The teen didn't point the firearm or made any menacing moves toward the officers.

I mean they shot the teen at a distance. He probably didn't even know how serious the police were.

I am guessing you're taking your talking points from one of those shitholes.

Anyway the racist right will raise the questions about the teen having a criminal record. They can't go a day without searching the social networks for "damning evidence".

With all these relaxed gun laws, the boy was clearly in legal right to have a BB gun. I mean it wasn't near a school zone. Just a nice Saturday afternoon when this happened.

I am surprised that the law was even called. The teen didn't attack anyone with the firearm. He was on a swing. Again he did not point a firearm at the law.

Looks real.

This will be a continuing story here on Journal de la Reyna.

Similar incident happened in August when John Crawford was killed by Beavercreek officers. The officers responded to a man who carrying a firearm inside a Walmart. He was killed by Officer Sean Williams. The video shows that the officer shot Crawford from a distance while he was holding an airsoft pellet gun. He was on the phone at the time of this shooting.

Ratings Grabber!

Loserville anchor got cursed out by protesters who felt the conservative network mislead the audience on the protests.

The junk food media is stirring the pot. Looking for ratings, the junk food media hopes there will be riots and brutal attacks on residents in Ferguson, Missouri. In the wake of the possibility the Ferguson officer Darren Wilson walks, embattled Democratic governor Jay Nixon ordered the National Guard to St. Louis, Kansas City and other localities. The assumptions of Blacks rioting and looting are pouring in from the junk food media and the agitators of the conservative media.

The racist right is hoping that the "leaks" will prove that unarmed Michael Brown was a good for nothing criminal. They hope they can prove that the unarmed Brown and his friend robbed a store of a pack of Swisher Sweet cigars. They want to prove that the unarmed Brown reached for the officer's service weapons. The unarmed Brown was trying to fight the officer for the weapon. The unarmed Michael Brown was charging at the officer. They are hoping the Black community riots and cause a scene. They want to recruit more White extremists to their organizations. They want more extremists to buy firearms and persuade Republicans to loosen gun laws. They are actively hoping for Blacks to riot in the streets and brutally attack those in law enforcement. The perfect storm for the Klan to recruit. The best thing for the racist shitholes to blog about it.

THE DAY THE NIGGAZ TAKE OVER!

The decision is coming and the St. Louis metropolitan area is gearing up for reactionary responses from those who felt that another unarmed Black man dies while a White man walks.

Three officer involved shootings happened in Ohio that I will cover.

Conservatives are hoping Ferguson officer walks.

There were two White men who were killed by Ohio police. The Montgomery County, Ohio sheriff, the Butler Township police are investigation an officer involved shooting in which a man from Arcanum was gunned down.

33 year old Andrew Davidson was being sought for a charge of stalking and harassment. Davidson disobeyed orders to drop a knife. The officers placed a few slugs in him. The officers were placed on administrative leave. It's standard procedure whenever an officer fires their service weapon.

Then another officer involved shooting happened in Dayton, Ohio. A man who was heavily armed pulled a weapon on Dayton officers. They opened fired and killed him. John Smelko, a 40 year old resident of the iron college got two in the torso after he tried to pull a draw on the two officers.

Smelko had been served up on domestic violence and weapons charges.

And the most well known shooting was the John Crawford III shooting. Crawford was on his phone when he was inside a Beavercreek Walmart. He grabbed an open pellet gun off the shelf and was walking around with it. Some of the residents were spooked by it. A caller tipped the law and two Beavercreek officers arrived. They claimed that Crawford ignored orders to drop. Crawford was on the phone and as he turned towards the left of the aisle, he was pulled by one of the officers. The officer is still on administrative leave.

The family of Crawford is planning on suing the city for unjustified murder. The FBI and U.S. Justice Department are going to look into this case. This controversy is gathering steam after a grand jury concluded that the officers used justifiable force.

When Whites riot and loot communities, it's because they're excited over a sports victory or loss.

When Black riot, they're showing the world that they're racist, violent criminals, and they're just bitching over issues that they know weren't in their favor but do it because they want "reparations".

When Whites protest and boycott businesses, the junk food media looks at this as democracy.

When Blacks protest and boycott businesses, the junk food media attacks this as ANGRY BLACK PEOPLE trying to silence freedom of speech, destroy profit creators, and just agitating Whites.

The decision is coming and we're hoping that it will be peaceful and respectful.

To Fred 101 - Hey, thanks for reading our blog. We appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, I strongly disagree with your aspects. I believe that you're our "ANONYMOUS" commentator who been frequently posting your comments on here. I make no bones about deleting them, ignoring them and questioning your comments.

While you may think that we're obsessed with race, we're actually not.

No what me and S. Baldwin do is talk about issues that face our community, the government and the junk food media.

This controversy affects not only race but political views. First and foremost, Darren Wilson deserves a fair trial. He is alive to tell his side of the story. Michael Brown is dead. He can't say anything. He's in the dirt. Only those who witnessed this. Whether you believe them or not, you and I weren't there. There was no dash camera. So anything can be said through the junk food media and sponges soak it up.

Regardless of the decision, I and S. Baldwin will continue forth. We will continue to demand justice for all unarmed victims of gun crimes.

The situation already got people like George Zimmerman hiding. He has to live his life in fear. Every move he makes, the junk food media will follow. He already been in the news over 20 times since the verdict that allowed him to walk. Every time was for some idle threat using a firearm.

If Darren Wilson returns back to the force, he'll will have to keep a low profile. Although I think he will likely not return as an officer, the junk food media wants him post decision. Obviously Loserville will try to get him to speak out if he's found not guilty.

If the grand jury decides to prosecute Wilson then he lawyers up and hope that he gets off. If not, people will be celebrating or showing anger. Human nature.

Fred 101, Republican, any conservative/liberatarian and/or racist commentator here: Don't you dare confuse an opinion as a fact. There's no facts. It's heresy.

You best believe that I want to see justice for Michael Brown. The first step is to get more people out to vote. Americans need to vote so they can change the way things are running in Washington, DC.

Republicans coming to Congress isn't going to change shit. They suck! They support the murders of innocent victims here and abroad. The Democrat suck even more! They pretend to be your friends but they'll kill you slowly. They support the murders of innocent victims here and abroad. They cry and scream but stand on the sidelines like the pussies they are!

Second the Ferguson Police must  work with the Black community. They need to understand the frustration of the Black community. They are upset over this. You're not Black. You're probably WHITE, MALE and CONSERVATIVE. You probably never been profiled by police. Black males have. And I for one am tired of it. I work two fucking jobs. I deserve the right to be angry about the situation.

So take a chill! The decision will come.

I got more important things to do than destroy my community. Got it.

Melissa Harris-Perry: [Blacks] Fear The Police More Than Ebola And ISIS!

I don't fear an illness or a terrorist. I fear the Boys in Blue whenever they kill another unarmed citizen.

The controversial weekend agitator makes her stand on two controversies I've chose to avoid.

Melissa Harris-Perry is no stranger to controversy. The Tulane University cultural professor and Obama News agitator has attracted the racist right's attention once again. She invokes Ferguson and Beavercreek in her statement to the overwhelming coverage of these two controversies.

As an avid supporter of women's rights and the Black experience, she makes it clear, that she fears only one thing in this world: "A Trigger Happy Police Officer!"

 “I feel much more terror every time I see blue lights than when I think about Ebola or ISIS. It feels to me…please God don’t make me have to interact here. These videos feel like there’s nothing that makes you safe.”

Of course her competition over at Loserville and the racist right grabbed that bone. Immediately Jim Hoft of The Puke On Gateway took offense to the MHP's freedom of speech. He called her an idiot.

And of course, you have the Black righties thinking that Obama News is the undisputed champion of race baiting.

Me personally, I somewhat agree with her. I don't worry about illness or an extremist group.

I don't fear death by a disease of a callous murderer masquerading as a martyr.

Thomas Eric Duncan died of Ebola this month in the United States

I understand that we're in the junk food media's epic dramas which is the Islamic State and Ebola crisis. These issues have been front and center for the embattled President Barack Obama.

The conservative agitators are hoping the Republicans win back control of Congress on the merits of the issues with Islamic State, Ebola and the rioting by Ferguson, Missouri residents.

On the issue of Ebola, there's a man from Liberia who traveled to the United States to meet his fiance. He had the contiguous virus and was diagnosed after a few days.

He was in the hospital at first, but they've sent him home after believing it's a mild illness.

Thomas Eric Duncan died on October 8 after doctors failed to treat his Ebola infection.

Duncan, who had been visiting family in Dallas, was treated at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.  By October 4, Duncan's condition had deteriorated from "serious but stable" to "critical."

On October 8, Duncan died of Ebola virus disease.

Two health care workers became infected with Ebola virus, 26-year-old nurse Nina Pham and 29-year-old nurse Amber Vinson, both of whom had taken care of him at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.

Duncan was from Monrovia, Liberia, a country among those hardest hit by the Ebola virus epidemic. Duncan worked as a personal driver for the general manager of Safeway Cargo, a FedEx contractor in Liberia.

According to manager Henry Brunson, Duncan abruptly quit his job on September 4, 2014, giving no reason. Brunson added he knew Duncan had family in the United States, and that Duncan's sister had come from the U.S. to visit him in the weeks before he quit.

Duncan was traveling on a visa when he made his first trip to the U.S. to reunite with his estranged teenage son and the boy's mother, Louise Troh, who had been his girlfriend in Liberia.

Two American women doing their jobs as health care professionals caught the virus.

The two young women who were infect were Nina Pham, a young Asian American woman and Amber Vinson, a young African American woman.

The agitators released these names to very strong criticism of the nurses and the man who traveled to the United States with the virus.

Rest assured that these young women and that man gotten death threats due to the agitators releasing their names.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Thomas Eric Duncan, the families who were lost in the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone, Senegal, Liberia, Nigeria, Guinea, and Spain.

We wish well recovery to all those infected by this dangerous disease. That includes those who weren't named, Nina Pham and Amber Vinson.

Protesters Crash The Beavercreek Cop Shop!

A protester at Walmart. The Beavercreek Walmart has gotten some national attention after a Beavercreek officer shot and killed a shopper who he thought was an active shooter.

Protesters were stationed at the Beavercreek, Ohio police department over the weekend. Also the junk food media releases the audio recordings of Sean Williams, the officer who shot and killed John Crawford III.

It was a peaceful rally. Some were arrested for impeding the safety of residents. Of course this is what democracy looks like.

In August 2014, Crawford was shopping at Walmart. He was on the phone when he picked up an air rifle that was out of its case. Ronald Ritchie was the individual who called the law with the claim that the gentleman was pointing that at customers.

Beavercreek Officer Sean Williams and Sergeant David Darkow quickly arrived at the Walmart.

The officers observed Crawford down in the pet food aisle with the air rifle. Williams and Darkow claim that they gave Crawford the order to put down his firearm. Crawford was on the phone talking to his ex-girlfriend. Within a few seconds, Williams fires upon Crawford. Crawford was shocked and dropped. After he got up Williams fired again and Crawford dropped.

Don't shoot campaign comes to Beavercreek. Protesters camp outside of the suburb's police headquarters.

According to Crawford's girlfriend, he was crying saying that why did you shoot me?

Crawford would die on his way to the hospital. Customer Angie Williams would die after being shocked by the outcome of events.

The Ohio grand jury found that the officer who fired on Crawford was not guilty. The officials said that the video showed that Crawford was minding his business and wasn't causing a panic.

The U.S. Justice Department is now looking into criminal actions against officer Williams.

The internet activist group Anonymous also released a video. They demand Beavercreek city officials fire the officer. They want Ronald Ritchie to be indicted for causing a panic. And they want the city of Beavercreek to apologize publicly to the family of John Crawford.

These are the latest developments in this ongoing story. We here at Journal de la Reyna will keep you informed about the situation.

Who's Going To Call The Law On Open Carry Protesters?

These protesters carry around Walmart. Wonder who's going to call the law on them?

There's a small protest outside of Walmart in Dayton, Ohio. The suburb of Beavercreek is the place where a Hamilton man was shot and killed by the police.

White open carry protesters were protesting at Pentagon Boulevard near the property. They were claiming that they were in support with this "I am John Crawford" campaign.

After an all white grand jury found that Sean Williams the officer who shot Crawford not guilty, the protests grew louder and demands for the U.S. Justice Department to investigate came forth.

Walmart has faced some heavy criticism after allowing their pellet guns be in open display.

Ronald Ritchie was the one who started this controversy. He told the law that John Crawford III was lurking in the stores with a firearm pointing it at people. The officer who shot at Crawford III, Sean Williams is on desk duty while the federal prosecutors gather evidence.

In the video, Crawford was shot from a distance. He was on the phone when he was shot. Crawford didn't even have time to disarm.

Wonder if the law is going to be called on a White guy shopping in a Walmart with his firearm on his handle?

Obviously not.

I've heard from a person that Walmart allowed a man to shop with a snake around his neck!

Are they going to call the law on him?

John Kasich's Easy Ride To Reelection!

Snore nominee is the latest failures for statewide office. This nominee for Ohio governor is going to be trashed after Republicans and their nominee incumbent John Kasich put the nail in the coffin.

A really terrible governor is actually good according to the latest polls.

Ohio governor John Kasich is likely going to cruise to victory after the Democrats rolled out their worst choice for nominee Ed Fitzgerald.  This nominee is so bad he could damage all nominees for statewide office.

Despite the negativity in Washington, Ohioans are fumed at the way Congress and the president handles business. 

This state went to Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama more than once. 

George Voinvich, Bob Taft and now John Kasich can say that they're the only Republicans known by me to win reelection. Since Richard Celeste managed to win reelection in my time, the only Democrat in my time that lost reelection is Ted Strickland. 

Kasich is a former congressman, talk radio host and Loserville host. Rupert Murdoch and Chief Roger have invested their time in getting one of their personalities in the state house. Kasich was part of that frame.

The political fires for Fitzgerald came forth when he was caught with a woman who wasn't his wife. 

That's a prostitute in my opinion. Then the latest shoe to drop on him was the fact for years as a FBI agent he was caught driving without a license. Who the heck drives without license and is a federal agent?

The Ohio Dems are pissed that Fitzgerld and running mate Sharen Neuhardt are flawed.

They both have not counter attack the strong responses from Republicans and John Kasich. 

It's almost over.

Kasich won't even pity himself a debate with Fitzgerald. He said that he's comfortable enough to ride this all the way.

Yeah I have voted for Republicans before and yes I will do it again. It wouldn't matter if I didn't like the guy or not. But seriously, Democrats are so down in the dumps over Obama's failure to lit a fire, they will nominate anything to slaughter. 

If the latest polls say that Kasich leading 55% to Fitzgerald's 25% with undecided being in the tail, it's clear that the Republican incumbent will have a term to wreck the state.

Kasich's key to victory was basically dropping the extremist agenda. The insurgents are pretty pissed that he somewhat embraced Medicare and Obamacare. They also hate the fact that he's giving away the pork. But one thing is clear, the insurgency is likely going to vote for him.

Ed Fitzgerald's lackluster campaign does hurt others. 

Wendy Davis, the Democratic nominee for governor in Texas is taking on Republican insurgent Greg Abbot. Davis lit a fire with her filibuster over a bill that restricted abortions in Texas. But the fire claimed when the insurgency and racist right labeled her "ABORTION BARBIE".

My honest opinion of the gubernatorial races for the states this Midterm.

So what do you think about Ohio's choice for governor?

While Whites Carry In Public....

Nobody saying that he's wrong for what he's done. He's just reckless in how he handled the situation. But in a life or death situation, Beavercreek officer Sean Williams didn't even know that John Crawford III was holding a toy. The controversy in Dayton continues. The FBI and U.S. Justice Department is evaluating the handling of the situation.

In the wake of the John Crawford shooting, I want to let you know some facts about this case.

Crawford was legally allowed to walk in the Walmart with the BB gun. Regardless of the firearm as long as he wasn't directing it at people, he's pretty much allowed in the state of Ohio to carry.

The open carry law in Ohio is pretty broad. It advocates firearms in the facility. Walmart doesn't have a restriction on firearms on its facility.

White extremists are proudly promoting their open carry rights in facilities. Do you hear the sirens or calls of suspicious activities going on?

Caption this.

And all the while, John Crawford III carrying an air rifle was gunned down by two Beavercreek officers. Didn't even get a chance to drop the firearm. The officer Sean Williams let two fly right into the stomach. Shot from a distance. Crawford didn't even approach the officer. He gets off without a murder charge. The Beavercreek city leaders and Republican attorney general of Ohio Mike DeWine pat each other on the back.

Bet ya money they'll never worry too much about these individuals in the Walmart, Kroger, Target, Kmart, Sears, Meijer, HyVee, Publix, Food Lion, Best Buy, Kohl's, Giant Eagle, Costco, Sam's Club and Walgreen's.

Eric Holder Out!

Obama's top cop is resigning. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the first Black man to hold the position is exiting after six years. Republicans are popping the corks.

Reports are coming in that the Attorney General of the United States will announce his resignation at the end of this week. The first Black top cop was the scorn of the Republican Party and the insurgency.

Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. didn't hold back his feelings towards those who broke the law. He was never shy to let the Republican lawmakers and conservative agitators have it when it comes to a testy debate.

Sources confirm with NPR the U.S. Attorney General claims that it's getting more frustrating to get things done. It was getting more adamant for him and the pressure was getting to him.

For him being the longest serving member of the Obama Administration, Holder was the target of attacks. Republicans in the House had called for his resignation numerous times. They even went as far to find him in contempt in regards to the never-ending Fast & Furious ATF scandal.

He never held back on his feelings of race in America. He once called the United States a nation of cowards in regards to the growing rift between races.

Holder and the president both shared experiences of being racially profiled. Holder even went as far to say that even his own sons were victims of racial profiling.

Holder was the 82nd Attorney General of the United States, in office from 2009 to 2014.

Holder, serving in the administration of President Barack Obama, is the first black American to hold the position of U.S. Attorney General.

Holder previously served as a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and a United States Attorney. While a U.S. Attorney, he prosecuted Congressman Dan Rostenkowski (D–Illinois) for corruption charges related to his role in the Congressional Post Office scandal. Later, he was Deputy Attorney General of the United States and worked at the law firm of Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C.

He was senior legal adviser to Barack Obama during Obama's presidential campaign and one of three members of Obama's vice-presidential selection committee. As a result of the Fast and Furious investigation, he became the only cabinet member in U.S. history to be held in contempt of Congress.

As of 2014 Holder is one of three members of the original Obama cabinet that are still serving in their posts, the others being Tom Vilsack and Arne Duncan.

Holder is married to Dr. Sharon Malone, an obstetrician; the couple has three children.

Malone's sister was Vivian Malone Jones, famous for her part in the Stand in the Schoolhouse Door which led to integration at the University of Alabama. Holder has been involved with various mentoring programs for inner-city youths.

He is also an avid basketball fan, and the uncle of former NBA All-Star Jeff Malone.

Holder will stay on until a successor is picked. He will also continue his investigations into the shootings of Michael Brown and John Crawford III by suburban law enforcement.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our best to Eric Holder and wish him well on his journey.

Feds Now Involved In The John Crawford Case! [NSFW]

Beaverceek officers walk after shooting John Crawford, a man who just wanted to shop for a bb gun. 

The Ohio grand jury ruled that no charges will be filed against the Beavercreek police in the shooting of John Crawford III. That decision has triggered the U.S. Justice Department to look into the handling of the case.

One word.

Outrage!

I wake up this afternoon to hear the junk food media in my area say that the officers who shot and killed Crawford will walk.

This incident back in August ran parallel to an event in St. Louis. Two unarmed Black men who were killed by the law enforcement.

John Crawford III was a father, son and brother. He was killed by the Beavercreek police. The Ohio courts believe that actions were justified.

I get on the internet to look at the surveillance video from one angle. I see that Crawford would pick up an air rifle that was already open. I would see that he was walking through the aisles (that most people never often shop) on the phone with the rifle.

The video shows that he was in the garden center with the rifle and was still on the phone. Since there's no audio in the store, all you see was him move the left. It seems like in the video the officers with weapons drawn had already shot him.  A few seconds Crawford while still on the phone coming towards the officers. From that point, Crawford goes down.

The FBI and Justice Department will be now involved in this case. This case has now grown into a national story. This controversy is driven also by the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri where an officer shot an unarmed Michael Brown.

Eric Garner, Darrien Hunt, Renisha McBride, Jordan Davis, Trayvon Martin and now John Crawford III join the list of unarmed or unintended consequences of White justice.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is one crooked son of bitch. He held back the footage so he bias the case. The all White jury saw the surveillance and watched Crawford go through the aisles.

The all White jury saw that Crawford was a threat. They believe it was justified.

Just like Republicans, they'll be happy to know that if a White man is in the store with a rifle, obviously they'll never call the law.

They'll only call the law on a Black man. And it wasn't even a real gun.

In August 2014, the local junk food media got us thinking that a Beavercreek Walmart was under siege. There was a mad gunman who was inside the stores. The threat was taken down and a causality came out of this. Angie Williams paid the price for a mad gunman.

Everyone was thinking that it was a great job done by the law. It turned out that it wasn't a threat. Just the ignorant actions of White people. The story was driven by the calls of an ignorant White man who wanted to be a "hero".

That a young man was walking through the store on the phone with an air rifle with a tip.

What's Going On In Utah?

Darrien Hunt was killed by the law. Questions are raised to how a man lunged at the cops when he was shot in the back.

A man walking with a novelty samurai sword was killed by the law in Utah. A major controversy is building up. Me and S. Baldwin are now covering the ongoing situation.

Okay there's tension growing in the city of Saratoga Springs. If you're not familiar with the city, you'll be informed about it. The city's mayor was a Black woman. Mia Love is a growing figure in the Black Republican movement.

She was a Black insurgent nominee who is running again for the seat by now retiring Democratic politico Jim Matheson.

She is one of the very few Black people living in a city of 24,000.

There's a young man who was killed last week and the junk food media is starting to pick up on it.

Darrien Hunt of Saratoga Springs was walking with a samurai sword he used as a showpiece weapon.

Someone tipped the law off and the immediately reacted to the situation. While everything is kind of sketchy, the law claims that he lunged the sword at them.

So somehow he was turning his back and all of sudden six shots goes into him?

The Guardian reports that Utah authorities have altered their account of how a 22-year-old black man was killed by police, after an attorney for the man’s family alleged that he was shot repeatedly from behind by officers while running away.

The authorities also said that the two police officers involved in the shooting of Darrien Hunt last Wednesday had not yet been interviewed about the incident. The attorney for Hunt’s family described this delay as “almost incomprehensible”.

Hunt died outside a Panda Express restaurant at a strip mall in Saratoga Springs on Wednesday morning following an encounter with two police officers who were responding to a 911 call reporting a man with a samurai-style sword acting suspiciously.

A witness photographs the encounter. Soon after she turns her back, gunfire.

After several days of silence Tim Taylor, the chief deputy attorney for Utah county, said in a statement on Saturday: “When the officers made contact with Mr Hunt, he brandished the sword and lunged toward the officers with the sword, at which time Mr Hunt was shot.”

Hunt’s death follows the high-profile fatal shootings by police in August of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, and John Crawford III, a 22-year-old black father of two who was carrying a BB rifle through a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio.

Hunt’s mother, Susan, who is white, accused the police of killing the 22-year-old due to his race. The population of Saratoga Springs is about 93% white and 0.5% black, according to the 2010 census.

“They killed my son because he’s black. No white boy with a little sword would they shoot while he’s running away,” Mrs Hunt told the Deseret News. Taylor said there was “no indication that race played any role”. Hunt’s family have not been able to explain why he was carrying the sword, which they called a souvenir from a gift shop.

The new account confirmed by Taylor on Monday appears to potentially match with remarks made by a witness to local media shortly after the shooting.

Jocelyn Hansen, who was filling her car at a gas station opposite the bank, has said that seconds beforehand she saw Hunt and the officers in conversation. She said that after taking a photograph of the scene, which showed Hunt smiling and with his hands at his sides, she got into her car in order to leave and then heard gunfire.

“I looked up. There were shots and there was a chase,” she told ABC 4 Utah. “He turned and was running away from the police officers,” Hansen added. She could not be reached on Monday.

The altered official account also follows an angry response by the Saratoga Springs police department to media reports of claims that Hunt may have been shot while running away.

“Everyone should remember that the news outlets have ratings they need to gain. They don’t report facts. They use innuendo, opinion and rumor and then report it as fact,” said the unsigned statement, which was published on the department’s Facebook page but has since been removed.

“The real facts are being determined by an independent investigation, and not in a rushed or haphazard manner,” it went on. “When those facts are gathered and analyzed they will be reviewed by independent legal authorities.”

He was not a criminal says his grief stricken mother,

The two officers involved in the incident have not been identified by Saratoga Springs police department. They have been placed on paid administrative leave. An investigation is being carried out by the county’s “officer-involved shooting protocol team”, which includes officers from several different forces and agencies, according to Taylor, who said the county attorney’s office would “review these findings and issue a statement”.

“We haven’t even interviewed the officers yet,” said Taylor. “We’ve talked briefly with them just to kind of get an idea of what the scene was at the time.” He said officers were typically interviewed within 48-72 hours of a shooting. One is now scheduled to be interviewed on Tuesday and the other on Thursday, more than a week after the shooting, he said.

“I’m stunned. I find that almost incomprehensible,” Edwards, the attorney for Hunt’s family, said after being informed of this by the Guardian. “You want to speak with the officers almost immediately afterwards, when their memories are fresh and before they have had a chance to corroborate their stories.”

Taylor said the county attorney’s report would not be complete until his office received the findings of an autopsy that had completed by a state medical examiner’s office in Salt Lake county. He said that he expected this to take between six and seven weeks.

Edwards, the attorney for the family, said it was not clear whether the inquiry would be satisfactory. “Do we trust the police to do a thorough investigation to find any kind of wrongdoing, and to ultimately punish the wrongdoer? I think the jury is still out on this one.”

The attorney said he and the Hunt family would wait until the report before deciding their next move. “If it appears that there was some sort of criminal activity on the part of the officer, obviously we would like to have that followed through with,” he said.

A media representative for the Saratoga Springs law went to the social media to vent off.

Everyone should remember that the news outlets have ratings they need to gain. They don’t report facts. They use innuendo, opinion and rumor and then report it as fact. The same thing happens here on FB and other social media. The real facts are being determined by an independent investigation, and not in a rushed or haphazard manner. When those facts are gathered and analyzed, they will be reviewed by independent legal authorities. There is no cover up and there is no corruption. While this process is played out, we ask all persons to have patience with the process and allow the process that has been legally established to go forth. No one has been charged with any crime. The law has established that there must be probable cause for charges to be filed. Then even when and if charges were filed, in this country, all persons are innocent until proven guilty. This protection is extended to all persons, including cops.

That immediately got some flack. That post assured a meme (i.e. racist right talking point).

Now we have another officer involved shooting in which a person of color was brutally shot.

What will the racist right say about this one? Will they claim he's a druggie?

Will the social networking pictures show that he's prone to violence?

That's how they look at things.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Darrien Hunt.

Tom Joyner Will Appear At The John Crawford Shooting Protest!

The famed Black talker comes to Dayton to join the protest at a Beavercreek Walmart. The suburban retailer has gotten a lot of heat after a tip by a shopper lead to two officers firing upon John Crawford III.

om Joyner and Jay Anthony Brown will visit students and faculty at historical black college Central State University, established in 1887.

Crawford was the man who was shot and killed by two Beavercreek officers after they confronted him with a pellet gun. The panic lead to the death of Angie Williams, a customer who had a heart attack after seeing the event unfold.

Crawford's death led to protest at Walmart and Beavercreek city hall. The family of Crawford wants the answers to why the officers shot and killed a man who was looking at a pellet gun.

A man who tipped of the law is under fire. Ronald Ritchie is getting some major flack after changing his account of the shooting. He was the main caller saying to the operators that Crawford was pointing the firearm at children and looking like he's loading.

This touched off a major outcry. The man was minding his business and was on the phone with the mother of his children. The woman is the only vocal witness. She told the media that he was on the phone with her and all of sudden, the law orders him to drop the item and he turned towards them, and they let the bullets fly. He was struck and died a few moments later.

Mike DeWine, Ohio Attorney General is under fire for not releasing the videos. He fears that it will prove the family's point that an unjustifiable shooting by law enforcement lead to the death of a man.

"Witness" Who Saw John Crawford With Weapon Changes Tune!

This guy sparked the controversy in Dayton, Ohio. He called 911 telling the law that John Crawford III was in a Beavercreek Walmart with a gun loading it and pointing it at children. He saw the video and now changed his story.

You may end up being one of the most hated individuals. This revelation of Ron Ritchie, a white shopper who tipped 911 about John Crawford III.

Crawford was shot twice by the law in Dayton, Ohio Walmart. He along with his girlfriend were shopping in the Walmart when he was carrying an air rifle.

Ritchie pictured above tipped the law. Now after he saw the video, he's has a "change of heart".

It may reveal the negligence by Beavercreek, Ohio officers and also the reactionary judgement of a person who may have a history of being a trouble maker.

Many news outlets said that this ex-Marine was the focal caller who started the chain of events that led to Crawford who was "unarmed" being killed by the law.

The Guardian had interviewed this witness and it revealed a bombshell.

"He’s, like, pointing it at people, Ritchie told the dispatcher. Later that evening, after John Crawford III had been shot dead by one of the police officers who hurried to the scene in Beavercreek, Ritchie repeated to reporters: "He was pointing at people. Children walking by."

One month later, Ritchie puts it differently. "At no point did he shoulder the rifle and point it at somebody," the 24-year-old said, in an interview with the Guardian. He maintained that Crawford was "waving it around", which attorneys for Crawford’s family deny.

Ritchie told several reporters after the August 5 shooting that he was an "ex-marine". When confronted with his seven-week service record, however, he confirmed that he had been quickly thrown out of the US marine corps in 2008 after being declared a "fraudulent enlistment", over what he maintains was simply a mixup over his paperwork.

Crawford, 22, turned out to be holding an unloaded BB air rifle that he had picked up from a store shelf. After Ritchie said Crawford appeared to be "trying to load" the gun, the 911 dispatcher relayed to an officer that it was believed the gunman "just put some bullets inside".

The Crawfords’ attorneys told the Guardian that they had learned the preliminary findings of an autopsy were that he was shot in the back of his left arm and in his left side, supporting their claim that he was turned away from the police officer who shot him.

They have pleaded with Mike DeWine, Ohio’s attorney general, to release the store’s surveillance footage of the shooting to the public. Having viewed it, they say that it disproves Ritchie's version of what led to the deaths of both Crawford and 37-year-old Angie Williams who collapsed and died in the ensuing panic.

“It was an execution, no doubt about it,” alleged Crawford’s father, John Crawford II. “It was flat-out murder. And when you see the footage, it will illustrate that.”

DeWine has said that releasing the footage would be "playing with dynamite" and prevent any trial from being fair. He has assigned a special prosecutor from the neighbouring Hamilton County to handle the case. A grand jury will begin hearing evidence on it later this month. A Beavercreek police spokesman said in a statement: “Preliminary indications are that the officers acted appropriately under the circumstances.”

Following the opening of a federal inquiry into the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, the Crawfords' attorneys have also urged the Department of Justice to open a civil rights investigation into the Ohio incident, only the second fatal police shooting in Beavercreek’s history. A white officer has been placed on administrative leave following Crawford’s shooting.

The attorneys said that they would also be lodging a complaint with DeWine after Ritchie told the Guardian that he, too, was shown the surveillance footage by officials in the attorney general’s bureau of criminal investigation, who are investigating the shooting.

While this is an ongoing scandal, we here at Journal de la Reyna want the answers to how a man who has no criminal history being shot by Beavercreek officers.

The family of John Crawford III wants the Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine to release the surveillance tape of what happened.

I went into the Beavercreek Walmart a few weeks ago. I usually go into the stores at dark.

I walked around the area where the situation occurred. I noticed that the section where they have their firearms. It was a well lit and protected area. One could wonder how the heck one man with a pellet gun touching off this!

My thoughts will come in the next installment of Black Men vs. Niggas!

I will work on a YouTube video as soon as I get a chance.
