Last Fragments on Ferguson

++ No, Michael Brown did not have an arrest record.

++Charles Pierce at Esquire had an excellent op-ed on The Body on the Ground. Michael Brown's corpse was allowed to stay on the road with blood coming from his head for four hours before it was removed.

++Darren Martin, the cop, was not mangled and his eye socket fractured by Michael Brown. His neighbor say him mowing his lawn short thereafter.

++Darren had worked for a Police Department that had been so corrupt and racist it had to be disbanded. I guess he picked up his habits then.

++Fund-raising for Darren has overtaken the fund-raising for Michael Brown's family. The KKK is fund-raising for him as well as conservative blogs.

++The District Attorney will not recuse himself even though he has three generations of relatives on the Ferguson police force and his father was killed by a black man.

++Missouri law gives the benefit of the doubt to police who kill unarmed citizens.

++President Obama sent three White House aides to Michael Brown's funeral.

++Eric Holder flew out to Ferguson and has had the DOJ all over the ground there. Kudos to Holder.
