While I have no doubt the police are the primary cause of the current unrest; If a black officer had shot and killed Michael Brown - we wouldn't be here now Hotwater
There were black cops in that rodney king beating and the black community still decided to destroy itself in protest
We really cannot let TPTB push us into another civil war. It's not us against us. It's us against them = TPTB
Ive read a couple articles already that say the officer is going to walk and was justified from the Q&A from all the witnesses and other officers involved. But its just BS from tabloids until the 'official' word comes down surrounding the incident. Either way, IMO blown up with media hype, Race baiters and outside influences who are the ones causing the 'civil unrest'. I wouldn't be surprised if the true 'protesters' have gone home by now with all the crap going on. They are making it easier and easier everyday for justification of the force used and obviously needed to control the mob. Seclusion of the media to a spot is fucked up, But then again, 'Safety' goes both ways and if they want in, Their ass!
It's calm in Ferguson tonight. It's a rainy night. There are a hand full of protesters marching and more cops and media than anything. The cops and media are all just sitting there waiting for something to happen. http://new.livestream.com/accounts/9035483/events/3271930
Like I said, Just tabloid BS that's really too early to call. Its will be a long drawn out mess he will get out of too though, With all the shit going on right now, And the testimonies of fellow cops. Their word is going to be hard to beat unless they throw him under the bus to try and make the community happy and save some face.
Officer "Go Fuck Yourself" has been disciplined. ” has been “relieved of duty and suspended indefinitely” for his “inappropriate” actions, the St. Louis County Police Department said in a statement to Mashable. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/st-louis-area-suspended-threatening-kill-media-ferguson-article-1.1911046
What this kinda makes clear is that a police man's actions should be judged as one guy's inapproriate actions and not those of the whole police force :cheers2:
Many people say such things. In reality, instead of flying to LAX, they themselves were lax, ordered a bucket of KFC, turned on CNN, and drank a six-pack.
In the first pic, He is wearing a uniform but looks like he showed up a day late and a dollar short, Grabbed a rifle and went looking for a 'reason' to use it. He has no body armor on or anything but a common shirt and a swat/tactical weapon and a bad attitude. Funny thing, Out of the 163 people arrested, Only 7 were from Ferguson, The rest are out of town trash there for the rioting, Looting and to plain cause trouble. So it would seem that as soon as all the lowlife assholes who are up to no good leave, The people will be herd. They didn't go fucktard, Their 'fellow brothers and sisters' did and caused a major set back.
When the LA riots were going on, Robin Williams did his take on the violence. He stood up with his fist clenched and yelled proudly, "This here is for Rodney King. AND THE COLOR TV IS FOR ME!"
