The group had promised to release the tapes on Wednesday, but ran into technical problems uploading the tape. ET: Mashable is confirming that the St. Louis County Police Department is “aware of this and currently investigating.” 
 
 Update 3, 6:05 p.m. 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. For example, crowd control was requested but there was no mention of a shooting. A short time time later, the dispatcher reported an “officer-involved shooting” but added, “Be advised. This information came from the news.” 
 
 Thirty minutes later, it was all hands on deck. 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 . Discussion of the shooting begins at 11:26, when a dispatcher mentions hearing about the incident "on the news," and at minute 44, which contains audio from 1:35 p.m. - 2:05 p.m., the dispatcher says "we are switching over to the riot channel." This was just posted by @theanonmessage, a twitter account affiliated with Anonymous’ Operation Ferguson, a member of which I interviewed last night. The officer has not been identified, though Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said the officer had been with the Ferguson police force for six years. “He says, ‘I’ll shoot,’” said Johnson. .” 
 
 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 .
– St. Louis County police haven't released audio regarding the shooting of black teenager Michael Brown, but the hacker collective Anonymous took care of that today, reports Mashable. The lengthy file released on YouTube shows the progression of events after an officer shot the unarmed teen in the suburb of Ferguson. As Mother Jones notes, the first hint of trouble comes more than nine minutes into the recording, with the dispatcher making a request for crowd control. But the circumstances were still unclear as to why at that point. Some excerpts, with the bold referring to the time of the audio recording: 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. ... Be advised, this information came from the news ,,, 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 ..." Police say they are aware of the audio and are investigating how it became public. Anonymous is also trying to identify the officer involved, reports the New York Daily News. Ferguson's police chief has balked at doing that so far because the six-year veteran has gotten death threats. (The FBI has launched an investigation into the shooting.)
