Missouri Police Officer guns down unarmed 18 year old

[xBiffx]

I'd like to know when perjury charges are going to be filled against some of these so called witnesses.

 

[marincounty]

LMAO!!!! Funny how the same ole butthurt people from the Zimmerman trial are the same butthurt people over the "No bill" decision for this incident.

No, I think the grand jury made the right decision in this case. In the Zimmerman case I believe justice was denied by the stupid prosecutors and the stupid Florida laws.
Remember, dead men tell no tales.

Yeah, that's a good idea...if you want all of St. Louis to burn.

I hope the insurance takes care of all those business owners.

Riot, war, terrorism, civil disobedience, etc. are all common policy exclusions in most types of commercial policies. You typically have to buy them as riders, endorsements, or separate policies. My bet is very few damaged buildings that are commercially insured will have paid claims.

 

[soundforbjt]

No, and you're never going to see it. It's against the law in Missouri to disclose that type of information regarding a grand jury. It's also a misdemeanor for those who participated to admit it.

It's also a law not to "leak" info during the grand jury, but I didn't see anyone charged for that...

 

[marincounty]

Ok, we need to have white police patrolling white neighborhoods, Hispanic police patrolling Hispanic neighborhoods, Asian police patrolling Asian neighborhoods, and black police patrolling black neighborhoods. That seems to go against the principles of De-segregation that was so important in the 60's.

Do you think it is healthy to have a 90 percent black town with a 90 percent white police force? Think it might lead to some problems? Nice implication that somehow Democrats are to blame. Troll a little harder.

I see two problems here. An out of touch racist police force, and a bunch of young black thugs who don't think they need to follow the law.

I would say that is not accurate. What makes Ferguson PD an out of touch racist force? Just because they have a majority of white officers, does that make them racist? Maybe they put out ads for hiring and the people that respond are white. Can the department be held accountable if minorities are not applying or if they can't pass the minimum requirements? Or are they racist since the majority of the people they arrest are black? Oh wait, the town is mostly black, so who are they going to be arresting?

With regard to the bunch of young thugs... That's not accurate either. It was one thug and his friend.

That sucks. And I'd imagine that any renewal that came up since the shooting might have been cancelled.

He's on the side that earns him greater fame amongst his followers. It's the right side for his personal enrichment.

And money. He got rich off of other's poverty.

One thug and his friend, you must have missed the hundreds of young black men and women vandalizing and looting property- on television.

There are lots of complaints against the Ferguson police for racial profiling. I believe the justice dept is investigating them and the state put the black highway patrol chief in charge of the police response to the protests. So yeah, no problems there.

Had the grand jury been allowed to go forward in Zimmerman case based on the evidence I believe there would have been a "No bill" decision as well. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Florida's self defense laws.

 

[chucky2]

Well, the problem solved by that was appeasing the racist black citizens of Ferguson. Problem solved...

 

[FerrelGeek]

No and they won't. Statute prevents any discussing of grand jury deliberations and votes etc...

True enough. I just hope the names of the GJ aren't 'leaked'.

Talk about trolling, try not putting words in my mouth. My reply was based on another poster's suggestion (see quote below).

A real problem in Ferguson is that the black populace there is sick and tired of being policed by white officers. It would be interesting to see what would happen if 50% of the police force was summarily terminated and replaced with black police officers.

Progressivism - Deluding people that they're paving the way to the future when they're really dragging us back into the dark ages.

 

[marincounty]

Why would you ever attack a cop in the first place?

You've never heard of a cop abusing his authority? Ever heard of police brutality?
Those are a couple of reasons someone might attack a cop.
I'm just saying to attack an armed officer with your fists is likely a suicide mission.
In this case it was.
Officer Wilson relied on his training and pumped bullets into his attacker.
It is sad that this young man's life prospects were so bleak that he was willing to die like this.
This is what needs to change.

 

[Attic]

If the 3 black jury members voted for trial and the rest voted for no trial, this could get a WHOLE lot uglier.....

Their is no reason to believe the black and white members of the GJ disagreed based on color lines.


The evidence and information available to all of the GJ members is clear. We can all see that now.

We could now see that folks who won't accept the truth and who don't desire the truth are the real racists/ignorant ones and that they have been the real problem from the start of this charade. It appears to me the majority of the country has figured this out, in spite of a media complicit with the racists and ignorant on the Michael Brown case.

The vote for "No bill" could be 12 - 0 and you would have the same people claiming that the 9 white jurors coerced the 3 black voters to vote "No bill".

 

[GoPackGo]

The physical evidence corroborated the officers version of events.

That being said... Michael Brown assaulted a police officer and got what he deserved.

 

[BoberFett]

As most people around here probably know by now, I'm not very fond of cops. But this whole thing is stupid. If you're going to rally against police brutality, do it around someone legitimately innocent who was harmed by the police. Don't pick some unsympathetic, questionably criminal type to go apeshit over. There are enough cases of police brutality that you must be be able to find a better reason than Michael Brown or Rodney King.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

I just saw a video of Crump calling the grand jury process broken and that the prosecutor should be indicted. Poor Crump, as no indictment means no pay day for you. Also heard some station went to commercial when good ole Al Sharpton started talking....LOL. Sounds like they're trying to gin up even more protests, looting, and burning tonight.

 

[doubledeluxe]

They would be angry over black officers betraying them serving the white man?

I don't know, that's just how it seems. I don't see any solution. The gap in perceptions between the two sides of this issue is too wide.

I watched black cops yesterday being screamed at and baited by the mob.

They're racist and hate cops. Black cops won't help.

I read this..and all I could think was-?
sites? wtf? you browsing the web while a 330lb behemoth is barreling towards you?
also "many him"

These are actual "Journalists" posting nationally.
Perhaps they should hire a proofreader.
:thumbsdown:
If something like that happened in my town,there wouldn't be a second thought about it.We call that "Suicide by cop" around here.

There is also the fact that demographics of the town have change drastically in the past 2 decades. Ferguson actually used to be mostly white (about 70%) about 24 years ago and most of those cops (about 54-60 or so officers) have been on the force for quite a while.
