Editors Note: Jacob Crawford of WeCopwatch.org – a longtime Copwatcher who created the first know-your-rights film using on-the-street footage, and who last fall was part of the Police Accountability Tour – is now on the ground in Ferguson, MO, where the video above was captured.

If you’re in Ferguson and have information that should be made public, or have a crash space in town, please reach out to Jacob via: (510) 328-3803 or [email protected]

This morning Jacob posted to IndyBay.org these pictures and captions:

The coverup is well underway in Ferguson. White cops and their armored vehicles and assault rifles have been pulled back and replaced by State police.

Succumbing to political pressure, the Chief of Ferguson released the name of the shooting officer of Mike Brown, named Darren Wilson. In that same stroke, a smear campaign was launched that suggested Mike Brown had just been involved in an armed robbery.

From all accounts, this story, like all Police narratives coming out of Ferguson is full of holes and deception.
Aside from incidents here and there, it’s been more quiet on the police front, but they are working tirelessly on the coverup, and of course attempts to pacify the people is in full effect.
