Ahh, tis easy to use the cover of protests by others to carry out a deadly deed.

FERGUSON • Two police officers were hit by gunfire early Thursday outside the Ferguson police department.

The shots were fired as police were confronting protesters who had gathered outside the police station.

Ferguson Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff said he didn't think either of the officers were from his department. He also didn't know the extent of their injuries. Eickhoff was not at the scene at the time of the shooting but he said he was headed there.

A police source said one of the officers is a St. Louis County officer and the other a Webster Groves officer.

The shots rang out as the protests appeared to be dwindling. Some of the protesters fell to the ground and others ran.

Several members of the media, including a Post-Dispatch reporter and photographer, were near the officers who were hit.

What goes around, comes around. The way they've treated the people there, it was bound to happen sooner or later. In my opinion, this is just the beginning. It wouldn't surprise me to hear about shootings of this nature all across the country in the coming months. Cops have been asking for this for many years now, and now they have what they've been looking for. Riots, shootings, civil unrest, protests, and marches will become common place, for several reasons. We've created a poor, dependent, frustrated, and angry citizenry. Oppressed people will soon revolt, and authority will sleep with one eye open.

When you take away citizens' rights, their freedom, and opportunities to be self-supporting members of society, you create an angry people, one that will grow tired of oppression and revolt. For now, it's anger directed towards members of law enforcement, next it'll be anger directed at any authority. This anger has been growing for many years now, and it's only going to get worse with time.

The police do no such thing. The police are acting under the authority of their supervisors. They get called, they show up. When a person will not cooperate and tries to fight or flee, then the police will take action. The police are not taking any rights away from black people.

Obviously you misread and/or misunderstood my comment. I have never ever said, nor implied, that the police has taken anyone's rights away. Police can not take rights away. Police do not have the power nor authority to take rights away. Please go back and re-read my comment. Thanks.

The bottom line here is that the police have a job to do. If they come across a belligerant suspect who wants to fight, then they have to think of the safety of everyone and not just themselves. What would you suggest the police do? Just let black people go because they're black and might feel offended if a white police officer tries to arrest them or detain them after being called?

Sure
it is the Obama Way

I will be looking forward to the day when the top story is: The entire Ferguson Police force has quit. then lets see what happens when all of those crackers arent around to stop the violence.

Not just the police. Shut down the city. Everyone go home.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Of course there are some crooked cops, but they are far and few in between. The police are watched quite carefully nowadays, obviously. Most of them do things by the book, but if they feel their lives are threatened (and they want to go home to their families), they are going to react and sometimes with deadly force.

Crooked cops are found in every PD across America.

Well, if you go back and read your post, it starts off blaming the police and saying that they've had "have been asking for this for many years now." No, they are just doing their jobs.

WHO are you blaming for taking away their rights and oppressing them?

I know what I said, it's in plain English. I blame the U.S. Government for violation of our rights. Who else can take away rights? Police do not have the power nor authority to take rights away from anyone. Excuse me, but I thought that was common knowledge. Yes, the police have been asking for this for many years now. Their brutality, false arrest, cold blooded murder, rape, child molestation, stealing, taking bribes from pimps and drug dealers, lying in court, covering for each other when something goes wrong, BS quota tickets, spousal abuse, unnecessary traffic violations, abuse of power and authority, etc. etc. etc. - They are not saints, and they do not have a halo above their heads. If they want respect, then they need to give respect. And, the so-called good cops need to police their own profession if they don't want anger directed at them.

All good Americans oppose racialism of left or right as well as support appropriate law and order.

You and your folks don't.

I oppose people breaking the law and when confronted by police, fighting with them. I oppose all of the riots based upon this falsehood that they are somehow victims of racism by police too. It is just not true. Police officers do not open fire unless they feel threatened. Somebody needs to tell the black community to cooperate with the police and to stop fighting with them at every turn. The results will be more dead black kids. The black community needs to step up and instead of making their children feel victims of society, bring them up to be a part of society.

Horse crap sniveling, dear. Violence is wrong, but the record remains quite clear FPD was a bad outfit. What the black community needs to do is vote; they need to stand up and vote.

What is your evidence that they are a "bad outfit" besides some accusations by people in the black community? Clearly one of the shootings was totally justified. The man was attacking the officer and the officer had a broken eye socket bone.

Yes, but they don't go out shooting black kids for fun. They have every right to defend themselves when under attack, regardless of the suspect's color.

with all the division that the Papa Obama administration was promoting over this issue
and the false narrative of "hands up"

These attacks on the police are in the words of his former pastor of 20 years
the "chickens coming home to roost"

They really do have blood on their hands

You are not describing the majority of police, but a small portion of them. Just like the general population of the US, there are bound to be some bad seeds. However, the police are not overtly "racist." Most police officers don't do any of those things and are just trying to do their jobs and get back to their families in one piece.

The evidence has been widely presented, so, no, you don't get "just once more". I will not litigate your nonsense as if it is worthwhile. It is not.

That's better, but those are your words, not mine. When attacked, everyone has the right to defend themselves, yes.

what will the residents of Ferguson do when the local KFC, McDonalds and Joe's Southern Fried Ribs shut down and move to Texas?

IOW, you've got nothing. That's fine. The facts of that particular case are . . . the man had just got done performing a "strong arm robbery" using his enormous size and strength against a tiny little shopkeeper. When confronted by police, he fought and tried to tackle one to the ground. He also punched using a technique known as "the hammer" and subsequently broke the cop's facial bones and causing him to bleed and to not be able to see out of one of his eyes.

What would you suggest that officer do in such a situation?

 

[Neotrotsky]

Wonder if the press will ask Papa Obama
if he feels any responsibility for the shootings ?

The forensic evidence showed that the man was in attack mode when he was shot. The shot placement was the top of his head which means his head was downward in position while he was running at the officer to "tackle" him.

That's cute, very good. I have never ever said that police single out black people, never. Police abuse their power and authority with anyone they feel like it, regardless of skin color, nationality religion, or anything else. They do whatever they feel like doing to anyone that pleases them. In case you're curious or wondering, it's well documented. A couple of days ago on another thread on this forum, I listed a couple of dozen links to prove what I say about low-life social zero cops. You can love them and respect them all you want, it's your right, but don't expect those of us that know what they do to follow suit. We read the daily news and pay attention to what's going on in this country, especially on Main Street America. All of this didn't just start yesterday, it's been going on for many years now. They stories would fill a good size book. Do some research and then tell me how wonderful and great cops are. Tell me just how much they earn our respect.

Go read about the old men and old ladies they abuse and brutalize, go read about the children they molest and rape, go read about the stealing they do, the bribes they take, the false testimony they give in court, and the other wonderful things they do each and every day somewhere in this country.

Sorry, but you would be wrong. MOST police officers do not do these things.
