"She saw Michael Brown pummel a cop before charging him," according to The Smoking Gun.


He "'looked like he was on something.'"


"'Grunting.'"


Twelve panelist on the grand jury listened to McElroy. The FBI interviewed her. She "appeared, and under oath, regaled the jurors with her eyewitness claims." That is, as the reporters at The Smoking Gun write, "despite an abundance of red flags, state prosecutors put McElroy in front of the Ferguson grand jury the day after her meeting with the federal officials."


So, ultimately, Sandra McElroy, with a criminal past, a bipolar disorder, and a history of "racial animus" is permitted in words to condone and to exalt the murder of Blacks committed by a militarized police force and the exoneration of any responsibility on the part of that police force.


I was there. I saw the monster rise up!


Perhaps she did!

Sandra McElroy lied to the police and to the Ferguson grand jury. Her lie became the lie proliferated all through the corporate media and set in the minds of millions of Americans sounding legitimate and comfortable. Familiar. Well, yes. Why not?
