What is with this administration and videos?!?! They think videos are the cause of all riots, both in Benghazi, and in Ferguson! Oh well. Here ya go:
#BREAKING Robbery video was released over the objections of DOJ. Told #Ferguson PD it was inflammatory + non responsive to FOIA.

Goldie Taylor is an MSNBC contributor who’s followed this case closely. She tries to spin it as evidence that the Ferguson police were acting rashly in releasing the video, but doesn’t it show that the Obama administration is trying to keep information away from the public?
Yes. RT @BitzieFields: @me did I hear right DOJ said not to release video because it would cause tension and #FergusonPolice did it anyway? — Goldie Taylor (@goldietaylor) August 16, 2014
How dare local police exert autonomy when our federal government overlords tell us what to do!!!??
Pretty incredible.
UPDATE: It looks like not only did the feds tell Ferguson to not release the video, but they had a copy of it too!!
RT @evanperez: Feds have had #ferguson #MikeBrown video, had no plans to release; #Ferguson PD released over DoJ objections, ofcl says

Isn’t it kind of insulting to black people that the Obama administration thinks they can’t handle the truth?
