Give the military equipment back to the DoD or scrap it.

I'll bet nobody has kept records, though.

What military equipment are you referring to?

Be more specific. Or, admit you're barking up the wrong tree.

You questioned how to demilitarize police departments, and I answered.

Do you need pictures?

Sure. Post pictures so I can slay your argument.

Can't prove your point, can you? No surprise.

While police have a few surplus armored vehicles, which are intended to be used for protection, only, because they're not armed, they don't possess the same offensive capabilities as the Army: no indirect fire weapons, no machine guns, no anti-armor weapons, no fragmentation weapons, no automatic weapons, no tanks, no infantry fighting vehicles, no gunships. So, unless you mean that cops should give their personal protection, there isn't much de-militarizing to do.
 
BTW, Obama has no business speaking about this state issue.

Holy crap. THREE crimes? OMG. What a crazy p!ace. Nowhere has three crimes happened in one week. Especially after cops kill a kid. I mean killing people tends to calm everyone down right?

It was 2 before the thief got shot and the third was the thief.

Therein lies their unfixable problem. They marginalize themselves collectively by completely failing their children in every possible manner. They indoctrinate victimization and marginalization as a way to cope and explain their own guilt and failures.

There's literally nothing white America can do for them that hasn't already been done. And when some people - white and black - seize upon that reality and get black Americans to think, vote, and act in lockstep, this is the result you get.

The only answer is family and REAL education, not the political rubbish they consume at school.

There was real education going on in DC at one time but guess who closed them down?Obama

If you call arresting people for breaking the law, harassing, then no, they should not stop harassing someone for being black. It is well known and statistically proven that black communities in areas of poverty are high crime areas. "Harassment" IMO is justified based on the evidence that these areas need additional attention and observation due to the rate of crime in those locations.

Apparently, the cop didn't know the kid had just robbed the convenience store. So what was he harassing him for?

Supposedly he and his friend were walking down the middle of the road, blocking traffic. They asked them to move.

Harassing him? Where in the world do you get that nonsense from?
And after the initial encounter, telling them to get out of thew street, which basically was let go as he had driven away, the Officer realized it was them from the robbery and had to reengage.



Moot said:
Um, he's the chief law enforcement officer.

:doh
No he isn't.
He is the Chief Executive Officer and Commander in Chief.
Law enforcement goes to Holder.
 
It appears Police and Demonstrators clashed again last night. This time at the store Brown robbed.


Police, protesters clash again in Ferguson.....
Associated Press By JIM SALTER 2 hours ago.

Anger spurred by the death of a black teenager at the hands of white police officer boiled over again when protesters stormed into a Missouri convenience store — the same store that Michael Brown was accused of robbing. Police and about 200 protesters clashed in Ferguson, Missouri late Friday after another tense day in the St. Louis suburb, a day that included authorities identifying the officer who fatally shot Brown on Aug. 9. At the same news conference in which officer Darren Wilson was named, Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson released documents alleging that Brown stole a $48.99 box of cigars from the convenience store, then strong-armed a man on his way out.

Just before midnight, some in what had been a large and rowdy but mostly well-behaved crowd broke into that same small store and began looting it, said Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson. Some in the crowd began throwing rocks and other objects at police, Johnson said. One officer was hurt but details on the injury were not immediately available. Johnson said police backed off to try and ease the tension. He believes looting may have spread to a couple of nearby stores. No arrests were made.....snip~

Sad. they target some guy whose only "crime" is owning a business. A guy who is a VICTIM of a crime that there is VIDEO EVIDENCE of. Scum of the earth.

From the same link. As you can see Holder and BO are making sure they are on the job. Held some interviews as part of
Civil Rights Investigation. Which they will talk to some more after they canvass the neighborhood.

Is that Code for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharptones to start making the rounds?



Also Friday, the Justice Department confirmed in a statement that FBI agents had conducted several interviews with witnesses as part of a civil-rights investigation into Brown's death. In the days ahead, the agents planned to canvass the neighborhood where the shooting happened, seeking more information, the statement said.....snip~
 
Some asshat threw a molotov cocktail at a Domino's pizza.

Yeah, that's reasonable.
 
Apparently the message they want to get across is the next time a black man walks into your store and tries to steal something, let him go. You don't want to piss off black people by putting them in jail from crimes. I really don't understand why the city is allowing this any further. It has proven, time and time again, that these protest turn violent without any action from the police. Just a bunch of criminals that want attention when the camera's turn on. These protests should be stopped immediately and all involved should be locked up.

As soon as Jesse and the racist Sharpton arrive on the scene, the circus is open.

Some harsh words from former Wizards player Arenas though:

CBS DC said:
“I would like to start off by saying too the family of the victim GOD BLESS#RIPmichealbrown you will be missed: too EVERY African American out there..how dumb are we really???every time we hear some bad news, the first thing we do is #RIOT #ROB #STEAL #BURN sh-t in our OWN neighborhoods..this racism fight has never been #blackvswhite, it’s ALWAYS been #blackvsblack from what the stats.. About 10 riots from the black community over the years and the only thing damaged ,was the BLACK COMMUNITY by The BLACK COMMUNITY..only reason they issue riot police isssss just in case you actually got smart enough to walk 6 blocks ,YALL ain’t f-cking up white rich sh-t smdh.”
