Officer "Go **** Yourself" Threatens to kill journalist

That was an "angry mob"? Walking down the street peaceful, and chanting, is an "angry mob"?

Bull****, that was an angry mob, and they were most likely throwing ****. Notice the woman calling out to not throw ****. They were taunting the officers and looking for any weakness. They were not there to protest peacefully, but to stir the pot and get a YouTube moment, a little fame and cool cred. Notice they couldn't resist turning the camera on themselves.

I heard people in the audio yelling "don't throw anything" repeatedly. Sounded to me like the potential was there for problems if even the crowd was concerned the situation could escalate if some idiot provoked it.

Yes, listening to the audio I could tell these were "journalists" of the highest integrity and professionalism.

Since you can't back up your inane claim that this journalist felt entitled to do anything he wanted and go anywhere he wanted, the honest thing to do would be to admit that your post was hyperbolic instead of fishing for some other inane claim you can't back up.
 
Anybody see Fox News side of this? Its the Liberal mainstream media provoking those protesters making it worse look what NBC News showed what Al Sharpton said




What about 90% of Blacks killing other Blacks in Chicago and in Detroit? The Mainstream media doesn't report those.. WHY NOT?

Many teachers also endure similar conditions, but if they pointed a gun at their students, they'd be fired and rightfully so.

I've seen some truly asinine things posted over the time I've been here but if that isn't the stupidest comment I've ever seen, I don't know what is.

If you know what the stupidest comment is, I suggest reading the ones you've posted about the journalist in the video

Yea he did. Should be fired.



Tuesday night was relatively calm. If he cant keep his "cool" while peaceful protesters are marching then I dont think he is fit to be a police officer. Pointing your gun at protestors with their hands in the air and asking for his name is beyond inappropriate and there is no excuse.



Should never have happened period.


Because if they are not wearing badges (many in Missouri are not) they are basically acting impunity if they cannot be identified.

Ok you have made it pretty clear you do not think this guy should be a cop.

Never mind qualifications the simple solution is this. If his badge and uniform were given to YOU and you had the power to pick who should wear it which person would you give it to?

Perhaps you didn't take the time to watch the video - all the proof you need is right there. The only hyperbole I've seen on this thread is someone laughably claiming that teachers endure similar circumstances.
 
Its not a political movement its part riff-raff, part media circus, all stupid.

But the cop should know better than point his big gun at people. He probably has a small penis. I heard somewhere that he was suspended.

And points a gun at them. Isnt that like.... Terrorism or something? Threatening a political movement with death? (or someone covering it)

According to other posters in this thread, he is being investigated as we speak.

What was shown on the video was not "relatively calm." The fact that many people in the crowd apparently felt the need to tell the morons among their number not to throw things at the police officer threatening to shoot them all kills that idea out of hand.

What is shown in that video is a hostile mob; nothing less.

Hell! For all we know, being hit by some flying object thrown by the crowd might've been what set the police officer off in the first place.

Should never have happened period.

These idiotic riots never should have happened, period.

It doesn't change the fact that they did.

He was removed from the situation by other officers. Furthermore, according to Soupazi, he is being investigated.

I'm not sure of his source for that claim, however.

In some states, officers on patrol are required to identify themselves as well as wear name badges or ID badges. Don't know about MO

That would be a matter of local law then. Frankly, I don't know what the law in MO states either.

Go on, explain for us in further detail how teachers endure students, perhaps in the thousands, in the dark at night, throwing firebombs at them while they're leading their classes; teachers being fired at and having rocks and other objects thrown at them. Go on - I haven't had my belly laugh for the day and I'm sure we could all use a giant chuckle.

Claiming the proof is in the video and actually posting the proof are two different things.

So now you have to add in things like "in the dark at night", "throwing firebombs" etc

I guess the violence being perpetrated against teachers is OK because it's not firebombs in the dark at night

Sorry, can't help you figure it out. Now, where's that proof that teachers are under fire and dodging firebombs in the classroom on a regular basis. I'm sure everyone is waiting patiently for that documented detail.

Brown didnt have a gun. Shot to death.

This cop had a assualt rifle. Pointed it at people. And threatened to kill them. Why didnt they gun the rogue cop down?

Nice try. It was your asinine claim that "teachers endure similar circumstances", clearly linking the video of a cop under stress, at night, with an angry group of people around him, some apparently throwing things.

To quote a "brilliant" poster who offered a comment on this thread earlier, "the honest thing to do would be to admit that your post was hyperbolic instead of fishing for some other inane claim you can't back up"

Reading comprehension would show that the "similar circumstances" referred to what was mentioned in the post I responded to and that "similar" does not mean "exactly the same"

If someone in the crowd was armed, felt threatened and killed the cop they probably would have been justified in doing so. That being said, the person who walks in the middle of a crosswalk on a red light and gets clobbered by a car that blows the light was, legally, in the right too.

In this case the cop was taken to task and will likely lose his job as is wholly appropriate.
 
I was mostly wondering who the prissy little twit with the big mouth was. The officer's threat to kill was obviously illegal, but I agree with his suggestion to said twit about what to do with himself.

DPC is definitely not an anarchist.
 
That cop should be fired and banned from ever being a cop again. You never point a gun at someone you are not willing to kill. It is a very basic firearms rule. Anyone with that bad judgment should not be in a position of power. Walking down a street pointing your weapon at random people should be unacceptable. Any civilian who did that would find himself in jail with a quickness.
