ACLU: Ferguson police report on Michael brown's death violates law [W: 209:785]

Re: ACLU: Ferguson police report on Michael brown's death violates law [W: 209]

I don't think he was fleeing at all, just regrouping. The gun went off in the cruiser, so he ran away to avoid getting shot. He didn't have control of the gun. Then, when he saw that the officer was injured, he tried to get back to him and do what he intended to do. He was looking for a confrontation, this is what he was planning, walking in the middle of the road after a robbery. Yeah, I'd say that's what he wanted. Just my theory.

The protesters showed up peaceful. The looters, the larcenist and the arsonists, are not the protesters and shouldn't be confused as such. They are criminals and should be dealt with accordingly. Whereas, the protesters standing along the side of the street with their hands up in the air were staring down the barrels of automatic weapons (similar to M4's) held by what looked like the army in Fallujah atop their MRAP's, rather then police.


what do you expect the police to be dressed in, and armed with?

they are facing "possible" mob mentality

was everyone rioting....no

were the ones rioting and looting using the crowd as cover? yes

were malatov cocktails thrown? yes

were rocks and bricks thrown? yes

not sure what you expect a police force facing that to be armed with, and dressed as.....

i really dont.....
 
Re: ACLU: Ferguson police report on Michael brown's death violates law [W: 209]

You keep forgetting the critical component. I want to see those eeeeevil policemen all pull back and let you and the rest of the protesters and rioters and looters all share the town. That doesnt seem to appeal to you for some reason.

I've been quite clear about the differences between criminal rioters, and lawful protesters. Even the lawful protesters were staring down the barrels of automatic weapons, held by people resembling the army atop their MRAP's rather then Ferguson peace officers!

The problem that has become the militarisation of the police will be addressed, with or without your approval.

The looters came from the midst of the protesters, whether they were using it as cover or not. And yeah...the cops shouldnt point guns at paparazzi...but the paparazzi shouldnt be there pushing cameras in their faces and try to create stories.

The cops cant use telepathy and say this guy is a here to loot, this guy is a protester. So...they should just completely back away and you should go join the party.

Military hardware and turtle gear with automatic weapons and mine resistant vehicles is hardly what was needed as stated and quoted in this thread by the police chiefs of both Seattle and Minneapolis, I'll stick with their comments supported by their training, experience and expertise and you can stick with your opinion.

Btw, why is peaceful protesters in quotations, you denying that there were any?

Yea. When protestors break out the Molotov cocktails, they should put on pillow and hellos kitty knee pads and helmets.
 
Lol !

Yes, we should be so ASHAMED because other Nations are so " shocked " !!

Screw them.

What about the human rights of the law abiding citizens of Ferguson ?

The people that live in that community ? That had to get up and get to work, or that needed to go out and shop for their families but couldn't because thousands of idiots bought full on into a false narrative of " Cop " murder ?

Where was their protection when the Police decided to let the " protesters " blow off a little steam ?

Who gives a rats ass about idiot protestors ? Or news agencies that are there to stir up unrest so they can woo equally idiotic viewers ?

Unreal friken real !

Yea I'm real ashamed because Russia wagged their finger. Lol. Want to talk human rights with Putin? You are gonna need to define that term for him.

i am just asking a question

if you choose not to answer, or cant answer, fine

but i think that a lot of people arent putting themselves in the shoes of the officers....

who just want to make sure they go home safely to their families at the end of their shift

what would you want to wear in front of a mob like that?

why dont you think riot gear is appropriate?

as far as our local police forces becoming militarized.....

i want cops armed better than criminals....and have you seen some of the weapons caches taken lately?

criminals arent just using 9mm pistols.....they are using semi auto weapons

they are using armor piercing bullets.....

the people that raise their right hand and pledge to defend their fellow citizens nowadays are in war zones a lot of times

maybe, just maybe you ought to consider those facts also

That is my big issue. Why get pissed about the better equipment that can save their lives, or in cases like stun grenades...save others...criminal or innocent too.

If they want to be upset about the deployment and lack of training, fine, but don't try to take life saving equipment from people who put the I lives on the line at their "9-5"
