Following the release of the officer’s name who shot Mike Brown, the Ferguson Police Department released what they considered to be a damning video of Brown involved in a “robbery” of a convenience store. The only problem was this “robbery” was in fact petty shoplifting. The person in the video, if indeed Brown, did not pull a weapon, nor demand money from the register. Instead, he stole a small product and refused to stop when confronted by the store owner.
But this “robbery” has being met with another “gotcha” release as well. A screen cap of a damning, racist quote has been attributed to the wife of Ferguson’s Police Chief. In the post, she is claimed to have called African American protesters “feral” wild animals on her Facebook account.
This is the quote, below:
They are feral and violent. They murder each other. They murder their unborn babies. They murder white people. They hate police officers and murder some of them, even black ones. They destroy neighbors and entire cities with garbage and drugs. They live their lives off the hard-earned tax dollars of other Americans. Yet somehow they are the victims. What insanity is that?
The statement, however, was traced to one Catherine Nardi, rather than the wife of Chief Thomas Jackson. Chief Jackson’s wife is named Patricia Jackson.
So what happened? Did Jackson share Nardi’s comment? Was it all a deliberate hoax or misattribution? We contacted both Jackson and Nardi for comment on this matter, but neither would give any statement, let alone explanation.
