This is a sign of guilt. The cover up is in full effect.

Yep. That about fits. His buddies on the force let him get a couple of full days head-startā¦Nevermind having to stay in the vicinity like all other suspects after a potential crime has been committed, when youāre under suspicion and an on-going investigation is underway.
Thatās what might be called shielding behind that Thin Blue Line.

His comrades in armor and the KKK will be fundraising for him so like George, he will be OK.
So do you suppose he just went home, packed and left and that is why there is no patrolmanās report. Maybe he just doesnāt want to be an eyewitness under oath.

While the reports Iām seeing make the acceptance of the free military surplus seemingly impossible for sheriffs and chiefs to resist, the reality Iām aware of shows in some cases that if a sheriff has qualms about a free tank and sound cannon the politically-shaded old boy whispering starts to question his manhood and fitnessā¦

I just checked demographics of Crestwood, MO-itās 93% white. I guess Darren leaves the comfort of an all white city to go battle the āanimalsā in Ferguson,MO. This is why you have issues like this killing because the think that they are zoo keepers. They need to control the animals. If one the animals resist their control, they get the chance to be āBig Game Hunterā for a little while. Oh how exciting. The police should live within the borders of the city they work in.

You have to have some compassion for this guy and his familyās safety, but doesnāt this indicate a flight risk if/when this leads to a criminal trial? Would the Ferguson PD be complicit in aiding and abetting a fugitive if he doesnāt return to cooperate with an investigation or to face charges?

IF this man actually exists, a warrant should be issued for his return to the city as a possible suspect in a murder. No less would be done for any ānon-copā individual.
How come no news organization has made any comments on the history of this cop?? Surely, his prior history would be the first thing a reporter would investigate.

So I understand: you wonder if this man even exists? Or if this man (who has fled) is actually the possible suspect?
Do we know there is no patrolmanās report?
Therein lies the problem with this mess. Nobody, but nobody has any faith Chief Jackson will follow the law and seek justice. He acts more like a gang leader than a sworn officer of the law.

They had received death threats against the officer and his family Iād hardly call that skipping town!
The man got death threats against himself and his family ā¦ Iād hardly call that āfleeing the sceneā. But I suppose youād hang around in that scenario right?
So youād stay at home with death threats lodged against you and your family? Yeah thatās a real sign of guilt and a cover upā¦
Probably worth mentioning that for at least two of those six years the Ferguson police department didnāt keep records on use of force. Itās not so much what is said but more about what is not said. The Chief has said nothing about the shooting, but a lot about how the victim might or might not be a suspect in a robbery. Of course, he also didnāt say anything about why the suspect in the video was wearing different shoes and had a hat too. He didnāt mention or dispute the statement that the officer started the confrontation by telling him (and his friend) to stop walking in the street and get on the sidewalk. Seems a strange thing if he was a prime suspect in a crime. Andā¦thereās no information that says he, or his friend, had a box of cigars at the time of the shooting.
