Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kotahi wiki noa i mua i te whakatau a te rōia nui kia kaua e whakawakia a Darren Wilson mo te matenga o Michael Brown, ka whakakahoretia e te kaiwhakawa tana tono kia puta he korero tūmatanui mo te take. I whakakahoretia te whai wāhitanga ki te kōrero a ngā kaiwhakawā nui tekau mā rua o Ferguson e te Kaiwhakawā o te Kooti Rohe o St. Louis, a Carolyn Whittington, e ai ki ngā tuhinga a te kōti i tukuna i te Paraire. I puta mai ngā tuhinga i te wā o te whakawa e haere tonu ana e pā ana ki tētahi mema o te rōia nui, nāna i tuku he tuhinga i te tīmatanga o tēnei marama e whawhai ana ki te kōrero tūmatanui mō te take tautohetohe. Ko te kaiwhakawa kore ingoa, e kiia ana ko te Kaiwhakawa Nui, kaore i mohiotia, i kii ko te roia a Robert McCulloch, nana nei i whakawakia te keehi, i teka ki te iwi. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I te wiki i mua i te whakapuakitanga o te whakatau i roto i te take o te mate o Michael Brown, i tuhi te Kaiwhakawā Carolyn Whittington (maui) i tētahi reta ki te roia a Robert McCulloch (matau), e whakakahore ana i te tono a te rōia nui kia puta he kōrero tūmatanui. E toru marama te wā i noho ai te rōia nui ki te whakarongo ki ngā taunakitanga, ā, i tukuna he whakatau i te 24 o Whiringa-ā-rangi 2014. I roto i tētahi reta mai i te Kai-whakawa Whittington ki a McCulloch i te 17 o Whiringa-a-rangi, ka whakamārama ia i te tīmatanga i whakaae ia ki te tono, engari i muri i te rangahau ture ka whakatau ko te whakautu whakamutunga kaore, e ai ki Yahoo News. Kāore i te mōhiotia he aha ngā kōrero a ngā kaiwhakawa i roto i ā rātou kōrero, ā, kāore ngā tuhinga mai i te Rāmere i te taipitopito i te wā i tukuna ai e rātau te tono. I roto i te reta i tuhituhi ia: 'Kua kī te Kooti Nui ko te mana o te kaunihera nui ki te tūhuratia me te uiuia e whakawhāiti ana ki te kimi, ki te whakahokia mai rānei i ngā whakahe. 'Kāore he mana o te rōia nui ki te pūrongo i te mea kāore i te whakawakia, ki te kore e pā ana ki te āhua o ngā whare tūmatanui.' E toru marama te wā i noho ai te rōia nui ki te whakarongo ki ngā taunakitanga, ā, i tukuna he whakatau i te 24 o Whiringa-ā-rangi 2014 kāore i whakawakia a Darren Wilson (i runga) mō te mate o Michael Brown. I roto i tētahi tuhinga i tukuna e te kaiwhakawa i te marama o mua, e kī ana ia i whakaaturia e McCulloch ngā taunakitanga i te wā o te whakawakanga e tohu ana ko Brown (i runga) te kaitukino, ā, ko Wilson...
I whakakahoretia te tono a nga kaiwhakawa 12 i te Noema 17 e te Kai-whakawa Carolyn Whittington i mua i te panui o te whakatau i te Noema 24. I whakaae ia i te tīmatanga engari i huri i tana whakaaro i muri i tana rangahau ture, e ai ki ngā tuhinga i tukuna i te Paraire. Kāore i te mōhiotia he aha ngā kōrero a ngā kaiwhakawā i roto i te whakaaturanga, i te wā rānei i tonoa ai e rātau te tono tuatahi. I puta mai ngā tuhinga i te wā o te whakawakanga a te kāwanatanga ki tētahi tangata i mahi i te rōia nui, ā, e whawhai ana ki te kōrero ki te iwi whānui. I tukuna e te kaiwhakawa he tuhinga i te timatanga o tenei marama e kii ana ko te roia whakawakanga a Robert McCulloch, i pohehe i nga kaiwhakawa me te korero teka ki te iwi whanui.
