"I came back from vacation because I'm furious about how the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown is being reported and how various people are reacting to it. Mr. Brown is a victim, shot six times by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. Some suspect him of murder and a grand jury is hearing the case. Also, Attorney General Holder went to Ferguson today to meet with FBI agents and state authorities, who are conducting separate investigations. Good, the Feds should look into this case and their investigation should be transparent. Which brings us to the video of Mr. Brown stealing from a convenience store and pushing the clerk around. Agitators called the release of the video a smear against Michael Brown and his family, but facts are not smears and this goes to Mr. Brown's state of mind on the day he was killed. You don't suppress an important piece of information when only one side of the story is being reported by the media, which is generally terrified of any racial situation. Then there is the looting. Disgraceful! The people rioting and looting are dishonoring the memory of Michael Brown and his grieving family, they are insulting them. On Monday night 78 people were taken into custody, and we believe about 30 of them have criminal records. Only four out of the 78 are from Ferguson, many of the others are trouble-makers. But the liberal media will never report that, nor will they report the true picture of criminal justice in the United States. In 2012, there were about 12-million arrests in the USA, but just over 400 fatal police shootings. And Al Sharpton has the nerve to insult the American police community, men and women who risk their lives protecting us? This charlatan has the gall to do that, and NBC News pays him? My God, why is this acceptable? Also on MSNBC, another agitator named Michelle Bernard said, 'There is a war on black boys in this country.' The truth is that 91% of black homicide victims are killed by other blacks, yet that woman tries to mislead folks by accusing American law enforcement of shooting down young black men in the streets. The racial agitators apparently believe Michael Brown was trying to surrender when Officer Wilson shot him dead. MSNBC put a person on the air who said Mr. Brown was shot in the back. That turns out to be false, according to an autopsy. We also hear today that Officer Wilson has an orbital blowout fracture of his eye socket. We are only reporting the alleged injury to demonstrate that there will be much more to come in this case. That is why there is an investigation, and a grand jury, and a trial process. But the race hustlers don't care what really happened, they want Officer Wilson punished. And he should be punished if he murdered Michael Brown. But Wilson is entitled to the presumption of innocence, something Al Sharpton will never give him because Sharpton only cares about his own self-aggrandizement. If he has to stoke racial hatred to get that, that's what he'll do. Finally, the president himself. He was completely correct to call for calm in Missouri. But now the president should step aside and allow his own Justice Department - headed by Eric Holder, certainly sympathetic to Michael Brown - to uncover the facts. As you saw with the O.J. Simpson acquittal, our justice system can be flawed. But it's all we have, it's the only thing separating us from the anarchy that Al Sharpton and others want to impose. What happened to Michael Brown should never happen to any American, and what happened after his death should never happen in this country. But it is happening, and only the truth will overcome the chaos."

Guests:James Carville & Bob Beckel
The Factor invited Democrats James Carville and Bob Beckel to evaluate the impassioned Talking Points Memo. "There's not a lot to argue about," Beckel conceded. "The people who have perpetrated most of these crimes are not from Ferguson, and my guess is that many of them don't know Michael Brown's name. But black and white Americans take exactly the opposite view of what happened. Black Americans think the officer probably murdered him, they are used to not being treated fairly and to being harassed by the police." Carville suggested that black Americans have good reasons to be suspicious of police. "They live in a world where they're more likely to be stopped by the police and where there is discrimination. People have a right to jump to conclusions, you can't suppress people's First Amendment rights to express their opinions." But The Factor urged everyone to judge this case based on the facts: "If most African Americans feel the officer murdered Mr. Brown, they're basing that solely on emotion, not facts. There has never been another police shooting in Ferguson, ever!"

Guest:Charles Krauthammer
For a view from the right, The Factor turned to Charles Krauthammer. "Americans do not like the racial hustlers and the exploitation of this situation," Dr. K declared. "Yes, there is a lot of it in the media, but that does not mean that a majority of Americans are not appalled. We do not know what happened that day. We haven't heard from the officers, we haven't seen witnesses on the stand, everybody is jumping to conclusions. That includes Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, who said a 'vigorous prosecution' must be pursued. He is presuming that a crime has been committed." The Factor reiterated, "The media is terrified to go up against the grievance industry for fear of being branded a 'racist' by Sharpton and the other zealots."

Guest:Patrick Lynch
The Factor was joined by Patrick Lynch of the NYC Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, who spoke about another racial controversy. Last month 43-year-old Eric Garner, a 350-pound asthmatic black man, died during a struggle with police. "Al Sharpton is trying to take this tragedy," Lynch complained, "and raise his profile, as he always does. He's also trying to take due process away from the police officer accused. We're just saying that all decisions should be based on the facts, not the emotion. If you watch some of the networks, you would think Al Sharpton is king of the world, but you have to take a step back and look at his history!"

Guest:Bernie Goldberg
Turning to the ISIS terrorist group, which has beheaded American journalist James Foley, The Factor asked FNC's Bernie Goldberg why so many media outlets refuse to use the word "terrorists." "Many liberals, including many in the media," Goldberg said, "have a problem with the whole concept of 'evil.' Maybe it's because the word has religious connotations, maybe because it's judgmental. I think even the word 'terrorists' doesn't describe the savagery of these people. We need to come up with a new word that more accurately describes these savages than 'militants.'" Goldberg also critiqued the situation in Ferguson. "If the cop who shot that 18-year-old black kid were black, there would be no national media in Ferguson, there would be no live shots, there would be no Al Sharpton, there would be nothing in Ferguson. The civil rights establishment and white liberals look the other way when black people kill black people."

Philip Krebs, Las Vegas, NV: "Bill, stop giving so much coverage to Ferguson. You are just encouraging the troublemakers with the coverage."

John Frock, San Angelo, TX: "O'Reilly, calling the Ferguson police 'Keystone Cops' was disgusting and degrading. Your lack of common sense is appalling."

Kristine Balena, Aquasco, MD: "Bill, I completely agree with you that all Americans should wait for the facts before assuming things."

Guest:Mike Tobin
The Factor was joined by Fox News correspondent Mike Tobin, who reported live from Ferguson. "The streets are pretty empty now," he said, "but it's not dark yet. I was talking to young people about the visit of Eric Holder and they either don't know that he's here or don't care. They don't think his showing up here is going to do anything for their cause. The people out here marching believe that Michael Brown was just the lighting rod that got them out here, they believe the mistreatment has been going on for a long time."
