"Kill the police!"

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Thoughts?

Can't say I completely disagree with those feelings anymore. We're seeing way too much of this shit. I can honestly say when those two cops were killed here in Vegas a couple of months ago by those two neo-Nazi loons I wasn't exactly heartbroken about it.

Why is everyone always singling out the cops? Sure you are going to have some bad apples on the police force, but that applies to every occupation. This is not unique to the police force. Most police officers are just out to do their jobs, and do their jobs quite well. The very few incidents that you hear about in the news are the exception to the rule. That is no reason to bad mouth an entire police force. For instance, we don't bad mouth all postal workers when a USPS employee is caught stealing mail. It's ridiculous.

Sorry, but that's just bullshit. I read an article just a month ago where one of the polling agencies, Pew, I think, did an anonymous poll of police officers and over 80% of them admitted to witnessing a colleague break the law and/or commit an act of brutality against someone and didn't report it. The so-called good cops out there look the other way when they see it so they're no better.

And a postal worker can't fuck up my life with an arrest or worse, kill me, and be protected by the government when doing it, so your comparison is invalid.

Won't be long now, and ANARCHY will rule this country.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) -- St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar says the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown came after an altercation with police.


Belmar said at a news conference Sunday morning that a Ferguson Police officer had an encounter with two people. He says one person allegedly pushed the officer back into patrol car and assaulted the officer.


He says there was a struggle over the officers' weapon and one shot was fired in the car. The officer then got out of his vehicle and shot at "a subject."

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) -- A crowd of a couple hundred people confronted police in St. Louis County after a fatal police shooting.

St. Louis County Police spokesman Brian Schellman says a Ferguson police officer shot and killed a male Saturday afternoon. He says he doesn't know what prompted the shooting or the victim's identity.

Officer Schellman says "a couple hundred" people came out of nearby apartment buildings after the shooting and began chanting "'Kill the police' and things like that."

He says gunshots were also heard at the scene, but there were no reports of injuries. About 60 other officers responded to the area in the northern section of St. Louis County at about 2:15 p.m.

Schellman says the crowd was under control by 5 p.m. and several of the additional officers had left.

Hmmm, interesting fellow Missourian. I don't know what to think.

 

[auditor0007]

I heard he went for the officer's gun. If so, the officer was within his right to shoot.

Always overreacting.

I read that the FBI will be taking over the investigation, which would be a good thing. One story after another about cops killing unarmed people has brought us to a point that a great many people have not only lost respect for cops in general but don't trust them either. If reports of a struggle are correct and if the struggle was instigated by the kid that was killed, then the cop had every right to shoot him. My problem is that at this point I don't believe much cops say. I want the story verified with actual evidence.

The biggest problem with cases similar to this is that the cop who kills an unarmed person always seems to get away without even being charged, and if they are charged, they somehow seem to walk away with no consequences. That needs to change if the public is ever to trust the police again.

Somebody reaches for my gun I would shoot them too.

Somebody reaches for my gun I would shoot them too.

If that's what the kid did then I agree. The problem is witnesses are saying he didn't and as the above poster noted you simply can't trust a word coming from the police anymore.

Looting and violence spread to Dellwood.


Alderman Antonio French of the 21st Ward in St. Louis, posted multiple Vines on Twitter Sunday night showing looters smashing windows and carrying off goods. A little after midnight he tweeted that the looting had spread to neighboring Dellwood.


In response, Ferguson police called in an extra 60 officers as well as officers from all surrounding jurisdictions. St. Louis city police were assisting by answering calls in St. Louis County, and a St. Louis SWAT team was staging.

with your thinking. But to be respected as a group they should condemn excessive use of violence and abuse of power as a group and not appear to condone those actions by non-action.

As I watch the videos, it occurs to me that every looter vehicle seems to be a much newer and nicer car or truck than the one I drive.

 

[westwall]

Looting in a situation like this is just stupid. It damages whatever good will was on their side and allows the police to revert to business as usual.

Why do you hate fairness?--LOL

check out the bumper sticker posted at legalinsurrection

Yes they can take what you have, because ? fairness

 

[Politico]

I will bet everything I own that the manpig shooter was white, and his vyctym was African-American. This is almost certainly an act of extreme racist violence by whites against African-Americans.

It's the Trayvonocaust all over again. Hopefully this time, justice will be served to the perpetrator.

Must you piss on every thread you enter?

Thoughts?

Absolutely. Don't pummel cops in their squad cars and you won't get a lead donation.

I saw the one kid interviewed over this. He says they were walking down the middle of the road, the cop stopped told them to get out of the middle of the street and they "even raised their hands in the air and complied" and the cop just opened fire on them for no reason.

Cops state the same about the street, except he was speaking to them by an open car door and they argued with him, cops said 18 yo grabbed cops gun and they ended up in his cruiser, one shot fired inside the cruiser because of the altercation, the kid and him were struggling and the kid got shot outside the car.


I assume there will be some sort of video, I hope there will be. I know there are bad cops, just as there are bad whatever in any occupation, but this sounds a little too much for a cop just to stop and shoot at two guys for doing nothing.

If black Americans would just be Americans we wouldn't have these issues.
But, then again, the democrats would lose a voting block and several enterprises based in 'blackness' would be out of business.
Remember, the democrats and the NAACP, etc., learned from the Negro Leagues that integration is bad for business.

 

[ScienceRocks]

There's no excuse for looting and destroying peoples property. None! All this over a idiot grabbing for a officers gun.

They wonder why people like me feel the way we do? here is why.

Didn't you know that stealing tires is part of the healing process ? Those gentlemen are just trying to heal and at the same time honor the victim.
