Except there wasn't a gun in his hand, that's the problem, buddy. He shot a kid with his hands up.
Every time someone tries to pass a sensible gun law. That's when you whine.I disrespected a man who deserved no respect. Phillips was a liar and a disingenuous self-serving douchebag, which he is in spite of being a veteran. And, when have I ever whined about the Constitution?
Yes, because the Covington LECB were provoking the other group.If that's true then BOTH groups were calling attention to themselves as racists. And the BHIs were more so because they were actively vocalizing their racist views whereas the Covington group was just waiting for their ride home. Yet Phillips chose to approach the Covington group who were minding their own business rather than the group that was actually taunting him.
Phillips went over to defuse the situation. the LECB's started taunting him, too.
Smirky McBitchslap smirked like a little punk.
Then he became the face of Entitled Douchebaggery and "MOMMY! MOMMY! They are making fun of me on TV. MOMMY!!!"
A couple of things here: 1.) Irrelevant. Phillips still lied. Something you are apparently comfortable with him doing even though it is a decidedly dishonorable thing for a veteran to do. 2.) Sandmann was not vexed by Phillips banging his drum in his face (not tambourine), he was vexed by the country's vicious and scurrilous vilification of him after the fact.
Honestly, if he is such a snowflake that just having his picture on TV is "vilifying him", he really needs to re-evaluate his priorities in life.
He wasn't minding his own business, he was out there wearing a racist hat at a rally to deprive women of their rights.
That's the point; you believe in these policies but you're not willing to actually do the work.
I believe in roads, too, but you aren't going to see me out there with a jackhammer.
Blah blah blah. Have you personally distributed your wealth? No? Then all this is just finger pointing at people for not doing the same thing you're not doing.
I pay my fair share in taxes. Heck, I run a mostly cash business, I could cheat like a bandit on my taxes if I really wanted to. Nope. I keep meticulous records and report it all. The rich need to pay their fair share. I pay mine.
Irrelevant. I never made any suggestions as to what would reduce crime. All I said was that if we had fewer crimes we'd have fewer encounters with cops and fewer cop shootings.
Yes, when it comes to solving problems, you are nowhere to be found.
Thug cops shooting innocent kids isn't reducing crime.
Again, all according to Wilson, who changed his story SEVERAL TIMES.Was Wilson pissed? Maybe. But that doesn't change the fact that Brown assaulted Wilson, tried to take his firearm from him and then refused commands to back off and instead advance on him in a threatening manner. It doesn't matter if Wilson was pissed or not, that alone was enough to get Brown shot.
And this wounded, barefoot, unarmed kid was a threat to him. No, really!!! Because Negroes have super-powers.
Nope. Wilson never had any disciplinary action against him while at the Jennings department. There were a number of questionable incidents that ultimately led to the precinct closing but none of these incidents involved Wilson.
The entire department was let go and all new officers were hired to start fresh. I don't see anywhere where former officers were rehired to the same precinct.
New Jennings Police Commander Tries to Right the Ship
It's November 10, 6:45 a.m., and Lt. Jeffrey Fuesting is tired. The new commander of the Jennings police force is driving down a street pockmarked...www.riverfronttimes.com
Last fall a joint federal-state investigation revealed that a Jennings police lieutenant had accepted federal money earmarked to pay for DWI checkpoint shifts that never happened. The chief at the time, who never got linked to the scandal, resigned. In November, Fuesting and his boss, Cpt. Troy Doyle of the North County Precinct, took over temporarily, and in March, the Jennings City Council voted 6 to 1 to disband the local police department and enter into a $2.8 million contract with St. Louis County.
The move required a full housecleaning; each existing officer got laid off by the city, and the county brought in a team of 26 new officers. (A small handful of former Jennings cops were rehired.) Fuesting assumed command on March 12.
In short. Other cops were rehired. Wilson was not.
But come on down to Ferguson, where we will happily hire you to be a thug and mistreat black people.
Moron. 2 of the investigations were specifically started to PROVE the officer broke the law and was at fault.
Yes, the gun was in his hand. As he started to raise his arm he tried to hide it by tossing it behind the fence. The slow motion video shows that. The officer with his experience and training was focusing on the gun which he seen. When he jerked his arm up tossing the gun at the same time, it was a fraction of a second the officer had to respond.
I don't think that's true but I will say that I generally oppose a lot of gun control measures, not necessarily because the measure itself is wrong or overreaching, but because I know that any measure they propose is simply another wedge in the door of the 2nd Amendment.
I understand enough about the human psyche and human nature and the minds of Democrats to know that any passed gun control measure will set a precedent for other, more restrictive measures to the point where the 2nd Amendment will be rendered effectively useless or abolished altogether.
Wrong. The video proves that the BHIs started the taunting. And I'll bet you don't even know why they did. They started taunting the boys when they spotted the MAGA hats.
Ah, but roads aren't a moral issue, are they?
You and other liberal hypocrites love to tell us what we should do but are unwilling to make the sacrifices yourselves.
Three things here: 1.) The wound was a minor flesh wound in the webbing between his thumb and forefinger. 2.) Brown was wearing socks with his sandals so he wasn't barefoot. 3.) Brown lost the first sandal around 24 feet from the cruiser and the second one at around 75 feet from the cruiser. This means he continued walking without his sandals for another 110 feet, turned around and walked back the way he came for 22 feet for a total of about 132 feet walking without his sandals. Yet suddenly at this point, his being without sandals makes him harmless and he can't walk.
Do you even know why Wilson wasn't rehired,
And he made the wrong decision.. One he can spend the next ten years in prison thinking about.

The Second Amendment was rendered meaningless when they replaced State Militias with the National Guard in 1903.
Wrong. The video proves that the BHIs started the taunting. And I'll bet you don't even know why they did. They started taunting the boys when they spotted the MAGA hats.
Then they shouldn't have worn a MAGA hat.. Jesus fucking Christ, man, wearing a MAGA hat in a town were 96% of the people voted for Hillary? It's like wearing a Swastika in Skokie. Or a Klan Hood on the South Side.
Ah, but roads aren't a moral issue, are they?
You and other liberal hypocrites love to tell us what we should do but are unwilling to make the sacrifices yourselves.
I'm perfectly willing to pay higher taxes if that what it takes. But first we make the rich pay their fair share and stop pissing away money on prisons and guns.

Yeah, anyone who has ever been shot will tell you, there's no such thing as a "minor flesh wound".
I mean, man, you are coming up with all sorts of reason why this kid totally needed to be shot six more times, but it just won't fly.
Do you even know why Wilson wasn't rehired,
No, and I kind of don't care... YOu states no other cops were rehired from that department, I demonstrated they were. Which means someone looked at his file and said, "NOPE!!!!"
Until Ferguson said, "What, you were fired from a corrupt PD that was hassling black people. You're totally qualified to work here, son!"
No they did not Obama DOJ wanted to fry him and the family wanted too also, claiming otherwise proves just how brain dead you are,Moron. 2 of the investigations were specifically started to PROVE the officer broke the law and was at fault.
Actually, they all had the same goal. Exonerate the officer.
You don't go to prison for self-defense, especially as a police officer. The suspect had the gun in his hand, quickly raised his arm with that gun, and flung it behind the fence next to him.
Um, no. The National Guard is deployed by the government which means they could be deployed against ME. Fuck that, I want to be able to defend myself, even from the NG.
MInding their own business would mean not walking into a crowd of people of color with Nazi hats.Irrelevant. MAGA hats or no MAGA hats, the Covington kids were minding their own business and the BHIs started the taunting.
All your bullshit about the hats is just that, bullshit. They had the right to wear them and they did. All your posturing about being a vet is so much diarrhea in the wind if you are not willing to stand up for fellow Americans' Constitutional rights.
When you say "fair share", you mean "Punish the rich".
It's no secret you hate rich people so your position is not objective.
He walked 152 feet with that wounded hand before he even knew he was wounded - 132 feet of which he did with no shoes. But apparently, according to you, he was a helpless ragdoll.
Apparently he was. Why? Because none of the incidents that caused the closure involved him. You keep overlooking that fact.
And yet the Viet Cong and the Taliban fought just fine with out tanks against our military.You don't go to prison for self-defense, especially as a police officer. The suspect had the gun in his hand, quickly raised his arm with that gun, and flung it behind the fence next to him.
Hands up when he was shot. This cop is toast when it gets to a jury, and I don't see Kim Fox burying the charges the way Anita Alvarez used to.
Um, no. The National Guard is deployed by the government which means they could be deployed against ME. Fuck that, I want to be able to defend myself, even from the NG.
Yes, this is the crazy talk. Whenever you guys say, "I needs my gun to fights the government", I can't take you seriously.
Hint. The National Guard has tanks. They have attack helicopters.

Uh, yeah, funny thing. When the rich pay their fair share, they'll still be rich.
"Oh, Mama, I wanted to buy a new Dressage Horsie, but I had to pay my fair share in taxes. I am being so punished!"
He walked 152 feet with that wounded hand before he even knew he was wounded - 132 feet of which he did with no shoes. But apparently, according to you, he was a helpless ragdoll.
No, he just wasn't a threat to a well-armed officer.
Apparently he was. Why? Because none of the incidents that caused the closure involved him. You keep overlooking that fact.
Or Ferguson was happy to hire corrupt racists.
Hands up when he was shot. This cop is toast when it gets to a jury, and I don't see Kim Fox burying the charges the way Anita Alvarez used to.

Except they never beat us on the battlefield, they just waited for us to get tired and go home.And yet the Viet Cong and the Taliban fought just fine with out tanks against our military.
And claiming a MAGA hat is a Nazi hat proves just how stupid you are.
And more police will quit, less will apply when looking for officers, and your murder and violent crime rates will increase dramatically. See why we don't want Satan to rule the entire country?
Uh, I don't think you understand what Nazism is.Nobody had a Nazi hat, and the closest thing we have to Nazi's are the Democrat party. Phony impeachments, using government agencies to go after a political opponent, harassing former government officials for political revenge. It's all Nazism.
Yes, they will still be rich because they will take their money and jobs and move to another country.
Trust me, we'll all be better off when we get the trigger happy racists off our police forces.
Chicago had to spend $118 MILLION dollars settling police brutality claims in 2018. For that kind of money, we could have put another 1000 cops on the street.
Shooting a terrified kid after he put his hands up is not controlling crime. It's just a fuckup.
Use of Propaganda and attacks on a free press- Check.
Politicizing the Military. Check.
Extreme Nationalism instead of multilateralism- check
Really, which one? Because most of the rest of the world already makes their rich pay their fair share.
Chicago didn't have to spend shit. They could have fought the phony claims, but like in all Democrat areas, it's not their money so why would they care who gets it if it buys votes.
I would love to see all you armchair quarterbacks if your life was on the line and it all hinged on a split-second decision.
DOOOOM and GLOOOOM. Um, yeah, right.In any case, keep making the job of police harder and harder. Pretty soon you will be so short of police it will take them two days to respond to a murder. The stores will close up because of the shoplifting such as what's going on in San Francisco, and violent and murder rates will keep on rising. Brilliant.
Uh, yeah. Wow. Heavens forbid we teach our troops who have to live in very close proximity with people of color to understand them and their backgrounds.The so-called free press has been an extension of the Communist party for decades now outside of the few real news stations we have. Did you see that General testifying to Congress why he's pushing critical race theory on his solders?
Shaking down a foreign government to dig up dirt on your rivals is "innacuous". I mean, I know it's not up there with "Getting a blow job from an intern", but it's still pretty bad.What about Vindmann listening to Trump's phone call with Zelensky and running to his deep state leaders to tell them of something so innocuous Trump said it wasn't funny.
The military is already being politicized, just like the IRS, the FBI, all of them. Tell me mister more gun control guy, why isn't Hunter in prison for lying on a federal firearms application to buy a gun he wasn't legally allowed to own? Then allowed his girlfriend access to that firearm where she threw it in a dumpster near a school.
Now he's selling access to his father under the facade he's an artist that paints using straws, something he's an expert with. The so-called art collectors are expected to pay up to a half-million dollars for that crap any child could paint, and they are also going to be anonymous. And what did the FBI do with his laptop with videos of Hunter having sex with children, and discussing his shady business deals?
I would guess a number of countries that thousands of our rich already ran to taking their jobs with them over the past four decades.
Actually, they settled because they knew if it ever got to court, they'd be paying out a lot more. You see, you can get a corrupt DA to bury a criminal case against a thug cop like Loehmann, Van Dyke or Wilson, but when you have a lawyer in front of a jury actually DOING HIS JOB, the jury is generally not going to like what they hear.
Now, yes, to a degree, a jury that might be reluctant to send a man away for the rest of his life for a bad decision, would have no problem finding against a city that put that bad-decisionmaker on the street with a gun and a badge to start with. That's why cities usually settle these things. Even Republican run cities.
I have a simple enough solution, though. Instead of the cities paying out the settlements, they should come out of the PBA and FOP pension funds/insurance funds. Betcha they won't be so keen on defending the bad apples after that.
I was in the military for 11 years, and we often had to train with live ammunition in dangerous settings. And, yes, if I fucked up and people died unnecessarily, I would have been held to account under the UCMJ.
The police are a para-military organization. They have ranks, they have a hierarchical structure. They are supposed to know what they are doing because they are the professionals.
DOOOOM and GLOOOOM. Um, yeah, right.
People aren't signing up to be cops because cops have lost public respect. Clean up the police departments, and people will be happy to take that job again.
Uh, yeah. Wow. Heavens forbid we teach our troops who have to live in very close proximity with people of color to understand them and their backgrounds.
Shaking down a foreign government to dig up dirt on your rivals is "innacuous". I mean, I know it's not up there with "Getting a blow job from an intern", but it's still pretty bad.
Um, now you are worried about gun proliferation? Exactly what crime was Hunter convicted of where he wasn't allowed to own a gun?
By Gosh, you're right. He should have done the honorable thing, ran off to Social Security and whined, "I've got a disability and can't work, please give me a bag of money!!!"
The Laptop is a fake, by the way... that's why you haven't heard anything else about it.
Again, which countries are those? Not Japan or the EU. They don't let their CEO's make 8 figures for failing and they tax them at a high rate.
Of course, when Israel responded to rocket attacks from the terrorist group Hamas, BLM condemned Israel. BLM protestors have been caught on video actually advocating the killing of police officers. Last summer, BLM rioters assaulted police officers, looted stores, attacked bystanders, and destroyed many businesses.
Former BLM leader sounds off on group's 'ugly truth'
The founder of Black Lives Matter in St. Paul, Minnesota recently released a video in which he called out the group's “ugly truth,” by which he meant their positions on family and education.www.foxnews.com
BLM could care less about black lives. Their only concern is to cause trouble and get wealthy at the same time. When they start all this trouble, it only leads to more black lives cut short and others ending up in prison. Black shop owners put out of business forever, and then pressure their commie representatives to get rid of the cops, which some are actually doing, making their black dominated areas even more dangerous to be in that eventually leads to more dead black people.
If they actually cared about black lives, their motto would be to never give police the opportunity to cause them harm. Just do everything they say, and a police officer will have no justification for harming you or ending your life. But they can't do that. It's way too pragmatic for them.
BLM could care less about black lives. Their only concern is to cause trouble and get wealthy at the same time.
It's all bullshit. If they were getting sued personally, you'd see how they would fight it to the last court. As for taking out of the pension funds, go right ahead. Even more of a reason nobody won't be a police officer.
Vast majority of guys in the military only see combat once... but they do well because of years of training.Training exercises are different than somebody that pulls a gun and wants to kill you.
First, it's funny you think "Satan" is actually a thing.Wrong, people are not signing up to be a cop because now Satan is winning a war they don't want to get into. Evil is now spreading like wildfire thanks to the commies and their battle against police officers. When the bad guys want to get rid of you, and the good guys want to get rid of you, what's the point of taking such a job? Nobody is on your side.
Yes the police have gotten very whiny in the last few years. In 1990, it was much lower standards, and it wasn't like there weren't a lot of better jobs. Let's not forget, 1990 was a recession, so of course a government job with massive bennies would be hard fought for.So now low interest in police work is nationwide. I had a meeting with our Chief of police a few weeks ago for about an hour, and he told me it's coast to coast. We are looking for more officers but can't find qualified applicants. He said when he applied to be an officer in 1990, he was up against 700 other applicants. Today he said, we are lucky to get 25, and many of them don't have what it takes.
I'm sure you miss the good old days of a segregated military.Again, communist propaganda. The left is now controlling our military too.
I did read the transcript. "It's a nice country you have here, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it!"Asking for a favor is not shaking down anybody. Read the transcript of the call and learn something.
Most people with a serious drug problem don't think they have a serious drug problem. Just ask Rush Limbaugh. Oh, wait, you can't because he's dead.The application asks if you ever had a serious drug problem before or legal action against you. To that he checked "no" in spite of being kicked out of the military for drug use, and he himself admitted he was in rehab a couple of times. Not even a slap on the hand because his father is part of the Communist party.
Because it wasn't a big deal.Several people who seen the contents say otherwise. The FBI is burying the situation like they buried Hillary sending classified emails to her aid which her husband used the very same computer to send nude pictures of himself to strange women all over the world.
They could care less what a CEO makes. People and businesses leave the country when there is too much regulation and taxes. Been going on for 50 years now, mostly thanks to the unions.

Hint. The National Guard has tanks. They have attack helicopters.
Sorry, but you can’t blame bad behavior on a hat.MInding their own business would mean not walking into a crowd of people of color with Nazi hats.Irrelevant. MAGA hats or no MAGA hats, the Covington kids were minding their own business and the BHIs started the taunting.
All your bullshit about the hats is just that, bullshit. They had the right to wear them and they did. All your posturing about being a vet is so much diarrhea in the wind if you are not willing to stand up for fellow Americans' Constitutional rights.
When you say "fair share", you mean "Punish the rich".
Irrelevant. You still want to punish them.It's no secret you hate rich people so your position is not objective.
Uh, yeah, funny thing. When the rich pay their fair share, they'll still be rich.
He walked 152 feet with that wounded hand before he even knew he was wounded - 132 feet of which he did with no shoes. But apparently, according to you, he was a helpless ragdoll.

Or Ferguson was happy to hire corrupt racists.
Or the cops will be incentivized to not protect the bad apples.
Of course, most cops aren't sued personally, because of qualified immunity. That's part of the problem.
First, it's funny you think "Satan" is actually a thing.
Again, I do feel bad for the majority of good cops, but they are the ones who protected the bad apples for years. The real problem- Loehmann, Van Dyke, Wilson, Chauvin- these guys NEVER should have become cops to start with. They all racked up a lot of civilian complaints, and the unions protected them, the review boards said, "nothing to see here", and eventually, they escalated up to killing someone.
Yes the police have gotten very whiny in the last few years. In 1990, it was much lower standards, and it wasn't like there weren't a lot of better jobs. Let's not forget, 1990 was a recession, so of course a government job with massive bennies would be hard fought for.

Sweet Evil Jesus, you have to Love Republicans. Inciting riots isn't a big deal. Selling out the country to Russia isn't a big deal. Shaking down foreign governments isn't a big deal. But man, you lie about a blow job or use the wrong computer to read your email, they want to hang you.
There are many reasons why Americans emigrate from the United States. Economic reasons include job or business opportunities, or a higher standard of living in another country. Others emigrate due to marriage or partnership to a foreigner, for religious or humanitarian purposes, or to seek adventure or experience a different culture.[58] Many decide to retire abroad seeking a lower cost of living, especially more affordable health care.[59][60] Immigrants to the United States may decide to return to their countries of origin to be with family members. Other reasons include political dissatisfaction, safety concerns and cultural issues such as racism.[61] Some Americans may also emigrate to evade legal liabilities; a common past case was evasion of mandatory military service.
In addition to Americans who choose to emigrate as adults, many children are born in the United States to foreign temporary workers or international students and naturally move with their parents when they return to their countries of origin. Due to their acquisition of U.S. citizenship by birth but no significant connection to the country, they are sometimes called "accidental Americans".[62]
