Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60, 267]

I'm tired, and that's my excuse. Excitement is over so I'm turning in. It's been fun though.

Good night, and good debating. :) I need to do the same soon.
 
For the life of me I cannot understand why FOX ever hired Mark Furman.

:lamo

Probably not the best person for commentary.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Too bad police helicopters aren't able to be used.
But that's what happens when an idiotic prosecutor decides to announce this GJ decision late at night.
With no slight on the way he has handled this all along.

Giving riotous thugs an opportunity to loot and destroy under the cover of darkness is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen .

You know, that's a good point. Could have just as easily held the announcement and press conference until 9:00 AM tomorrow.

The bright light of the day might very well have made a safer situation for everyone, protesters, police, firemen, news crews. Safer for everyone.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

According to the video I was watching, at least some firefighters were on the scene. A *light* police escort might be appropriate for them, picking it up only if they have to.



I hope that was sarcasm...it's late, and this is the internet.

The Internet is burning?

Damn radicals.
 
You suggested that 100 days was more than a black person would get. Are you going to claim you didn't.

I suggested, did I? Where? I'd like to see the suggestion. Please show the specific post. It seems as if you're having trouble discerning the difference between a question, a claim and a suggestion.
 
Of course the system is reluctant to charge police officers. They are the one's feeding the industrial prison complex. They are the ones who enforce stop & frisk. The ones who have quotas on speeding tickets. They are the ones who ensure judges and prison guards have jobs. Why would a system be willing to prosecute the people who feed it?

OR because most of us realize they keep us safe. That they come when we are in trouble and help us. They stand between us and thugs and criminals. I doubt most jurors even consider the roles of police you assume.

And bull****.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Can you see rioters at night better than during the day--yes or no ?

Actually, they can. One way is FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) and the other is NODS (night vision goggles). Both make it easier to spot who you want to spot at night and they can't see you.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Yes I have. And I don't think it was wrong.
I'm sure most innocent people want to do business during the day and are safely at home tonight watching the spectacle on the boob tube.

How about those people that want to do business tomorrow?
How about the fires not being put out due to firemen being shot at?
Are fires easier to put out during the day or night?
Think thugs got up early today--they slept in, are wide awake, drunk and on every kind of upper you can imagine.

Those businessmen who will now lose their entire Christmas season?
And please don't tell me I support these rioters as MY people.

And what about those who argue to be different from whatever I say?
For some, hopefully not you, if I had defended the timing, others would have said it should have been done tomorrow AM.

When I personally think it could have been done for some time before Thanksgiving week, since the Governor had prepared for the war he knew was coming.
Now the armored vehicles are moving in and mass arrests will begin--late at night when nerves are shot .

The violence and destruction of the protests tonight is unacceptable but the degree of militarization of the Ferguson police force that I have seen tonight via the live streams is also completely unacceptable.

Better to be forced to let the protesters burn the entire city down?
Better to force the calling out of the National Guard to keep order?

Meh. The police were reacting to what they perceived as a serious riot, and just looking at the video coverage, they pretty much called his one right, and don't they also have a right to protect themselves? To return to their families and loved ones?

This is laughable from the ideology that argues that banning guns isn't a good thing because cops can't protect you.

Don't trip, running away from your own comments.

Apdst, can you show us this suggestion/claim or not? I'll wait. Or are you now recognizing I didn't make a suggestion or a claim but asked DD a question?

Wrong again.
 
Just to add some perspective... Whites riot over soccer games. Cars burned, police injured and people trampled to death.

We all have it in us.

Can you answer your own question? Prolly not, huh, Hatuey?
 
Wrong again.

Here you are arguing just that in a thread about banning guns in school.

I can only hope that you are being sarcastic, as this cannot really be your opinion.

The teachers carry concealed to protect themselves and also their students.

This is called self defense.

This is also called the first line of defense.

This is also called common sense.

This allows a strong response to a shooter, since there are no cops lurking in every school building ion their state.

The responsibility of individual strength, and taking responsibility for one's own self defense was a premise of the founding of our nation.

If you do not think the same, just stay out of the way and let the rest of us take care of ourselves.

:)

Yes by all means lets neuter law enforcement to the point they are worthless to protect the innocent. And make no mistakes those business owners those home owners who were not a part of this display of wild jackasses are victims to the devastation caused by these assholes.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

They have these new inventions called heat and night vision. One of the first deployments of the tech was to helicopters.

To greater claims of the police being militarized? How much does that stuff cost? Hmm. I'm sensing non-practicality coming on here.

I reckon you can't. :(
