Ever wonder why the media does not care about the cashier that was assualted and robbed or the family of the policeman and what he went through?
I got into an extended one on one fight with a guy some time back. By the time it was done we had been in the woods fighting for minutes. Prior to my arrival the guy had been wondering around the neighborhood acting strange when two schools were dismissing. When I started to question him he jumped in front of several school buses like he wanted to get run over. People who commented on the news report acted like I had no reason to speak to the man or fight with him even though he jumped in front of schools buses on the edge of school property, growled and then ran at me. They even claimed I had been harassing him bc of his skin color. This crap plays out over and over in America everyday by beat cops who are just trying to do their jobs.
Gov Nixon lifted the curfew for tonight, but has said the protesters can't congregate in any location. They have to keep moving, this has the makings for a violent night. The National Guard is on the scene now.
The goal should be to arrest every last "protester" who loots, destroys property, or fails to follow lawful commands to cease their illegal actions. What is getting lost in this is the good folks of Ferguson who made human chains around buildings to prevent the looting and destruction bc the kiss butt state police officer in charge let the scumbags run amuck for days. Hats off to the good people of Ferguson who took a stand and stood in the midst of serious threats.
In all reality Brett, I don't know why you do what you do, it sure as hell ain't the pay, Is there not private security work that pays better and is respected? I would not blame any cop in Ferguson from taking sick leave ! Let the looters rot in the hell they call home! Ungrateful bastards!
I do it to protect the community in which I live. I bare the burden of being disliked on a daily basis knowing that I am trying to make a difference. I know in my heart I am doing good. Nothing more.
The only reason that Eric Holder is getting a "Third" autopsy is because of political expediency and to push an agenda. Ferguson has become ground zero for yet another racially charged incident that is being used or should I say abused. The law abiding citizens are the ones that are paying the price by having property destroyed and the fear of bodily harm by the so called "protesters". Let's call them what they are criminals looking for an excuse to exhibit their criminal behavior without fear of reprisal. Al Sharpton does not help but is in fact part of the problem when he calls the "Looters" the "Liberators". That is truly disgusting that people like him have such a public following to spew their vitriol. The calls for a special prosecutor will in all likelihood be granted in this case while all the public gets for the IRS debacle, Fast and Furious, Benghazi and on and on are met with a disdain like has never been witnessed before. This is a tragedy pure and simple, for the young man apparently misguided on the wrong path, the police officer involved in this incident whose life will never be the same and all the families that are involved. My fear is that with all the spin doctors involved that the common person outside the loop of the investigation will never be 100% convinced which side is correct due to all of the chaos of theories, truths, half truths and outright lies. What you believe right now is probably how you will see it 10 years from now so you will be able to find corroboration of that point of view which will prevent a definitive closure to this, much like Trayvon Martin.
I remember one time when I was 18 I robbed a store and minutes later went for a cops gun, all I got was a citation because I'm white......Oh wait, that never happened. Everyone with any amount of sense knows that if you try to take a policeman's gun you will most likely get shot regardless of race. Ridiculous how stylish it has become to play the race card in lieu of placing responsibility on individuals.
A Witness Conversation Unknowingly Captured at the Scene of the Ferguson Shooting is a Game-Changer This should seal the deal. And not that it makes any difference to me, but of all places/people this could have come from, it was sent to me from a partner and former cadet classmate of mine, whom happens to be black. The title she sent it under: "The truth, finally."
People are right, it is a race issue. They're looting stores and causing unrest to "avenge" the kid and give it back to the white guy. Yea burn in your own home and **** in it, that'll show them. Oh, also, Obama has time to comment on ferguson, mo but doesn't have time to attend MG Greene's funeral? No vacation is more important, wonder if he would've attended if MG Greene was black.
State police officer Johnson is finally learning. His troops made 31 arrests last night. His first few days he wanted to "walk with the protesters, not intimidate them". Yeah, that worked. These people are not about Mike Brown's death, this is just their way to gain their 15 minutes of fame and ran amuck. That is all they do in their daily lives, just at a smaller scale. They don't believe in rules or have any problem going to jail.
