* The incident report was written at a different PD 10 days after the shooting. Wilson is listed as the reporting officer.
* The incident report contains no narrative section, no retelling what exactly happened.
* A protester got wounded by police. While she was in hospital, police confiscated the evidence and destroyed it.
* "Police sources" claimed there are 12 witnesses who corroborated Darren Wilson's claims. They never materialized.
* "Police sources" claimed that officer Darren Wilson suffered an orbital blowout-fracture. That turned out to be impossible/incorrect.
* Police sources claimed that Wilson shot Brown, because Brown was charging at him. They later changed the story to Brown being shot while running away from Wilson.
* Police sources claimed that Wilson faced no disciplinary action during his time on the job. They later admitted that was transfered to Ferguson from a PD with a history of corruption, violence and racism.
* During the night of August 16th, the police claimed they only used smoke-bombs, when it was tear-gas.
* The police claimed they were shot at from backyards. This turned out to be false.
* During the riots, police found one(!) Molotov-cocktail.
* Ferguson PD serves 3 warrants per household and year.
* Journalists were threatened.
* Journalists were arrested and later released without charges.
* During the protests none of the cops wore a name-tag, which is illegal.
* One police officer begged on Twitter for a Boston-style terror-attack on the Ferguson-protesters.

And on a side-note:
* Five years ago Ferguson PD charged a man with property damage after bleeding on their uniforms after beating him up.
* The knife-wielding man who was shot by St. Louis PD? The official account turned out to be entirely fabricated.
* A whistleblower has faced blowback from the St. Louis PD after revealing they intentionally arrested African-Americans.
