Breaking: Video Messaging Company Confirms Audio of Gunshots Captured at Time of Michael Brown Shooting

US News • Views: 37,974

Racist hate-blogger Jim Hoft has been screaming (his default mode of communication) that the audio of gunshots aired by CNN and being investigated by the FBI is a HOAX (that’s how he writes it, in caps). With absolutely no evidence, of course, because that’s how Hoft rolls.

But now CNN is reporting that the video messaging service that captured this audio has confirmed the recording was made at the time of Michael Brown’s shooting death.

CNN) — A company behind the video messaging service that allegedly captured audio of Michael Brown’s shooting this month said Thursday the recording was created at about the time Brown was killed.

The revelation from the company, Glide, appears to bolster a man’s claim that he inadvertently recorded audio of gunfire at the time the 18-year-old Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer on August 9.

The video was created at 12:02:14 p.m. that day, Glide said. That’s around the time that police say Brown was shot.

With absolutely no evidence, of course, because that’s how Hoft rolls.

And not just Hoft, but law enforcement ‘experts’ on the teevee:

On this morning’s “New Day,” co-host Michaela Pereira interviewed two law enforcement experts who expressed strong doubts about the authenticity of a purported audiotape of the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown Jr. on Aug. 9 in Ferguson, Mo. Former LAPD cop David Klinger, when asked about the tape, said, “I’ve told your producers that for all I know this is something that one of Howard Stern’s punk people have been doing…I don’t have a high degree of confidence in it…I look at this and my first inclination is that someone is trying to punk CNN.”

Then came CNN law enforcement analyst Tom Fuentes: “When I heard this yesterday, I thought the exact same thing — it’s a hoax.”

Note that this audio was NOT recorded by the man who was chatting — it’s recorded on Glide’s servers. That’s how the app works. So the man could not have faked the recording.

Now that they’re confirming it was recorded at the time of Michael Brown’s death, this seems conclusive.

I missed the discussion earlier about the flickering but I figure I can add some here so Charles can see. I noticed it shortly after the addition of the spinning text stuff. It doesn’t happen every page and if it does happen, it can be stopped by refreshing the page manually - but to do that, you have to right click and refresh. The flickering is actually the page refreshing constantly.

I keep a memory monitor open and another note is that when the page does this that the memory usage skyrockets - I have seen close to 3/4s a gig of RAM dedicated to that particular tab.

Todd was probably one of those assholes who was donating to the Obama campaign as Hitler or something to make some kind of bullshit point.

Right-wing media are ignoring anti-fraud protections the Obama campaign has in place to allege that the Obama campaign accepted donations from someone impersonating Osama bin Laden.

Matt Drudge is hyping an article by World Net Daily’s Aaron Klein who claimed that “Using a Pakistani Internet Protocol and proxy server, a disposable credit card and a fake address, ‘Osama bin Laden’ has successfully donated twice to Barack Obama’s presidential re-election campaign.’ ”

In fact, the campaign has explained that it has anti-fraud protections in place to stop fake or illegal donations and that just because a fraudulent donation “may initially appear to a donor to have been accepted,” such a donation will soon be rejected.

Now they have his email and are going to hound him into the afterlife.

Somewhat related:

I am seeing more and more opinion both at progressive sites like Raw Story and conservative gun sites (like bearingarms) that John Crawford III, the black man killed at an Ohio Wal Mart while leaning an a BB gun braced against he floor that he had procured at the store itself…was the victim of a deliberate and malevolent SWATting attack perpetrated by the husband and wife team that stalked him in the store.

They made the entire story out of whole cloth lies, and the police came in and executed him on sight before he ever even truly appreciated he was in danger.

It’s kinda out of character for him, I think, which is why perhaps some are drawing to it. Obama usually wears a dark blue suit.

However, it is late August and lighter suits would be appropriate.

IIRC, Nixon used to have some wild fashion.

Reagan wore tan suits at time. Clinton tended to avoid them but that makes sense as those who feel they are overweight tend to shy away from them.

Mr. w, who only wears jeans and t-shirts, has very strict ideas about proper menswear. Dark blue, black, or dark charcoal gray suits only, no stripes, white shirt only, no stripes or patterns, and I can’t define his tie parameters, but conservative, for sure.

From the article:

“President Obama admitted today that his administration does not have a strategy in combating the militant Islamic group ISIS that has grabbed large chunks of Iraq and Syria.”

That lead paragraph is good example of what’s become ABC’s now typical sensationalist exaggeration. It was a response to a question about potential Syria strikes and why there’s been no request for an AUMF from Congress, and the answer was that there’s no finalized plan/strategy yet for further military escalation, so a new AUMF would be putting the cart before the horse. That auto-magically becomes an absolute admission of no strategy at all, even though a big chunk of the press conference involved detailing the current strategy in Iraq, because it makes for better click-bait headlines.

Part of me thinks the House GOTP is hoping for some major military or humanitarian crisis to erupt with ISIS while they’re out.

Obama will be forced to act without them and then they’ll come back and impeach him.

Wolf Blitzer asking every guest:

Does it bother you that the President says we have no strategy for dealing with ISIS?

*facepalm*

It’s Wolf “I’ll take Epic Fail for $1000, Alex” Blitzer. I don’t think he should be asking anybody questions.

I forgot to recommend enabling the sound!

The sound makes it so much better.

This may be extreme to say here, but as far as I’m concerned the Republicans actions (or lack thereof) in Congress are bordering on treason.

I’ve been saying it for a while. One of my favorite comments is that voting GOTP at this point is basically saying “Eff you, America.”

re: #150 Aunty Entity Dragon

Yeah, it lasted all of five episodes or something?

It lasted longer than that; you’re just confused because the network fucked around with time slots, didn’t run more than a couple episodes in a row before multi-week breaks, ran them out of order…

The same way “Firefly” died.

Yes and they also know the where as well. They’ve confirmed also it originated in the vicinity of the shooting.

re: #203 Mattand

Maddow has been driving home the point the last week that at the end of the day, Congress needs to approve any military action in Iraq or Syria.

Part of me thinks the House GOTP is hoping for some major military or humanitarian crisis to erupt with ISIS while they’re out.

Obama will be forced to act without them and then they’ll come back and impeach him.

These fuckers tried to destroy our own economy to get at Obama. My theory may be a little tin foil hat-ish, but I don’t think it’s that far out there.

They won’t hold a vote on impeachment. And if the leadership brought it to a vote, it would fail in the House. Republicans may be stupid, but even stupid cats won’t sit on the same hot stove twice.
