It would seem that this Freedom4um posted thread here:
(Dallas) Police Deny Excessive Force In Bloody Arrest (black cop, white girl)
Has been scrubbed/filtered out of major search engines.
Up until a 1-2 weeks ago, it appeared in the 1st 2 or 3 pages of hits on a Google search:
[Google] "Michelle Metzinger" OR "Ceaphus Gordon"
but now it is does not appear.
Further, if one refines the search to:
[Google] site:www.freedom4um.com "Michelle Metzinger"
it still does not appear.
However a search for
[Google] site:www.freedom4um.com "Michelle"
brings up 197 hits specific to Freedom4um, mostly about Michelle Malkin, but none about Michelle Metzinger.
I have tried freedom4um site-specific searches for "Dallas", "Ceaphus", "Deep Ellum", "Rick Watkins" and "250-pound guy" and *none* of those searches yields a hit.
Further still, similar searches on "All the Web" yield the same results:
[All the Web] "Michelle Metzinger" OR "Ceaphus Gordon"
brings up 250 hits, but the only Freedom4um hit is to the "Latest Articles: Dead Constitution" page which is now an obsolete reference and:

All the Web also has a site specific search, but such a search

yields 68 hits (mostly to sites in addition to freedom4um.com because All the Web's site-specific search is inclusive, but not limited) and the only Freedom4um hits found again are the same two:

Google and All the Web both produce numerous hits for numerous websites (news, forums, blogs, etc) discussing Michelle Metzinger, but it would seem the particular thread on Freedom4um wherein we dissected the evidence seems to be the only web-hit of which I'm aware that is no longer served up by these two serach engines.
One wonders why.
I can't imagine a mistake or bug that affects both Google and Yahoo (All the Web), that precludes only one particular thread that still exists and has continuously existed, when numerous other hits on other sites for the exact same subject matter are still produced.
I may be wrong, but I can't imagine any motivation for Ms. Metzinger's legal team to ask these two search engines to remove this specific find, though I can imagine why the City of Dallas or Officer Gordon's legal team might rather this thread not gain further noteriety. But I still have difficulty believing that Google or Yahoo would actually cooperate in excluding this particular hit from search results and I don't see a compelling legal argument that would pass muster to persuade a court to issue an injunction against Google or Yahoo.
