Anonymous Posts St. Louis Police Dispatch Tapes From Day of Ferguson Shooting This was just posted by @theanonmessage, a twitter account affiliated with Anonymous’ Operation Ferguson, a member of which I interviewed last night. According to @theanonmessage, this recording contains audio excerpts from St. Louis County police dispatch over several hours on August 9, 2014, the day Michael Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer. The dispatcher starts talking about the Brown shooting around the 10-minute mark, while intermittently handling other calls. We are still listening to the recordings and working to corroborate their authenticity; see below the recording for an updating list of interesting moments, with time stamps included. If you want to try to decipher the dispatch codes, here’s a dictionary for that. 9:35: “Ferguson is asking for assistance with crowd control …” 10:58: “Now they have a large group gathering there, she doesn’t know any further…” 11:20: “We just got another call stating it was an officer-involved shooting …” 11:30: “Be advised, this information came from the news …” 11:55: “We’re just getting information from the news and we just called Ferguson back again and they don’t know anything about it …” 20:00: “…destruction of property …” 21:55: “They are requesting more cars. Do you want me to send more of your cars?” 43:55: “Attention all cars, be advised that in reference to the call 2947 Canfield Drive, we are switching over to the riot channel at this time …” https://youtube/watch?v=zta9FyoA7TU
