Crime Riot+Looting in Ferguson, MO

[Falsedawn]

Ahh yeah, huffington post. Who have an article titled, "it doesn't matter if Brown robbed(or assaulted)" A few days ago they were calling for the police officers history (which is clean). I'm sure if the officer had a record of police brutality they would run an article "It doesn't matter if the Officer has a disciplinary history.'

The site that is now going to front page every and any incident in all of america that is any way paints a police officer in a bad light.

They have just as bad spin as Fox News.

So you just gonna ignore that for the first two years of this cop's employment he wrote his own incident reports (Which didn't go to his personnel file) for a department that hunkered down when they charged a man for getting his blood on their uniforms while they beat him unjustly?

So, I got a prime bridge I wanna sell you...

''Excuse me, urbanites of st. louis, but did you run a durbin-wu-hausman test for fixed versus random effects in your panel of police brutality data? I'm just really concerned about objectivity and want what's best for you. In the meantime, you can shut the fuck up.''

I didn't say "shut the F up" to STL urbanites, the strawman did. There is a lot of middle ground betwen "shut the F up" and riot.

I didn't say perform complicated tests on police brutality data, the strawman did. When your concern is the police are going to murder you there is a lot of middle ground between performing a durbin-wu-hausman test and realizing the police have accounted for one of the last 1000 murders in STL.
When your concern is the police assault on that one guy in 2009 you might notice that there have been thousands since then not commited by police.

If x STL resident is doing nothing wrong, Police are pretty much the last thing x STL resident needs to worry about when crossing the road. But F it, lets protest and make cops the problem.

edit, I mis read initially

I'm not co-signing the accuracy of cop's employment history. I'm addressing the hypocrisy of Huff Po because they are stating the felony Brown committed 1 hour prior to the shooting should not be taken into consideration. But they called for the cops employement history. If the cop did have documentable evidence of disciplinary history, anyone who believes Huff Po would not use that against the cop can buy a bridge I am selling.

Switch over to rt. Russia are having a field day with this.

He's trying to calm the masses. As a black man he can do it. Its not likely the white chief we know of could get away with it.

The things the internet produces.

The story is actually a positive one towards the Ferguson PD's change of tactics. Not a negative one.

On a side note, I'm at the Town Center on a weekly basis. One of my biggest clients has an office there. Despite Il Fornaio, Morton's, Jackson's, Clyde's, etc.....I still find Uncle Julio's to be my favorite spot!

I love the town center. I can't pick a favorite. Il Fornaio definitely has the best atmosphere in my opinion.

And what is the story behind this? There isn't an unarmed white man visible in the bottom picture. Its just the cop pointing a gun but we have no idea what he's pointing it at.

Disclaimer: I didn't make it.

But exactly, all about context, no idea what he's pointing at. It's just amazing all of the things that are popping up on the internet.

Exactly, and people are eating this shit up.

Are you denying this to be true? What happens when a white person goes up to a black person and says the N word to them? They get punched in the face and called a RACIST. What happens when it's a black person? It's camaraderie for some.

What happens when a white person shoots a black person? RACIST!

What happens when a black person shoots a black person? It's another statistic.

The double-standard is blatantly evident and I'm not the first person here to mention nor notice this. I don't believe one race is superior than other, that's the definition of 'racist', but I do know what hypocrisy is.

I ask again, are you denying this to be true?

They should send in Steve Seagal's Africa-America friend Max from Marked For Death

Max is a no-nonsense, drug-free problem solver who commands mad respect within the community. Plus he's backed by Seagal.

Well, I'm skeptical of the internet when it comes to these matters since it has produced fake Trayvon Martin pictures (including one dumbass trying to pass a picture of a well known rapper off as Trayvon). And there is already a fake photo of Mike Brown circulating.

So until I see a full uncropped photo and an article detailing the incident then I'm going to have to dismiss this as bullshit.

 

[CableandThanos]

Yes you are, or at least did. You told that hypothetical motherfucker to take her ''don't shoot me sign'' and go deal with something else.

Are you seriously saying that the black community of St Louis should just shrug and say ''just another drop in the bucket, really, lets go start an after school basketball program''?

Did I call her a mfer? STL rioted and protested this death more than the last 1000 STL murders combined. There are not other possible alternative in the spectrum between completely ignore and riot? The media covered this more than the last 1000 STL murders combined. Are those victims less dead?

They're not saying ''look out for the police instead of gang members,'' they are saying that this is the culmination of a serious issue affecting their community and they'd like to see justice take its course. They have a legitimate feeling that without political action this probably won't happen, and so they are taking it

And I'm saying it is an illogical and disproporitionate response. Its like me standing in front of stampede of bulls and firing all of the bullets in my machine gun at the mosquito flying around my head.

It also has indirect negative consequences that will only harm themselves. But have fun protesting.

People are acting like this really affects the community. How man unarmed blacks have been killed in the last 10 years by cops in St Louis? Even at 1 a year, why are people throwing a fit and saying that this really affects the community?

Apparently just some photo making its way around facebook. I don't have facebook but found it in another forum.

 

[Captain Davis]

It's not a double standard, it only matters if it is white or cops doing the killing.

And you are racist for even bringing up that the black community should care. Pan told me that the black community is doing all they can to police their own neighborhood and bring the inner city violence to light on a national level. He called me racist and said I thought everyone that was black was ghetto. He told me I shouldn't talk about what the black community should or should not do. He told me they were handling it because he posted a couple articles of clergy asking the police for extra help.

You would do good to just be quite if you are white, you can't have any opinion on what black society should be doing.

Looks like he's also sponsored by Corona, for what its worth.

Someone has a potty mouth. I suppose profanity conveys a certain street tough edginess that is invaluable on the net. It's my understanding that such anger has also worked its way into college debates.

LOL you must have seen the video of the college "debate" champs

 

[Prokofievian]

I didn't say "shut the F up" to STL urbanites, the strawman did. There is a lot of middle ground betwen "shut the F up" and protest.

I fixed it, and I'm not sure why that middle ground between THESE two alternatives is so goddamn important.

i'm not going to stick up for huffpo, but brown is dead, the cop seemed to have killed him when he had his hands up, so there is a different standard there.

i mean look, if that cop shot him with his hands up he's in the wrong, it's just that simple. you can't do that, he gave up and stopped running, you can't shoot an unarmed guy with his hands up.

not to mention, the cop never hit brown up about the robbery, it was over j walking.
