StL County Cops Shoot Teen

[Cartierfor3]

Also, why does Ferguson having a black cop who rapes people somehow make a white cop shooting people ok? I didn't get the connection on that one.

It was extremly weird timing for that to come out. Especially since it was like a year ago.

Its like, yes our white cops are horrible, but so are our black ones! See we're just incompetent psychopathic crazies, but we do this as a police squad not divided by race! We terrorize our citizens, both our black AND white cops

The cop who shot the kid isn't racist, though. He has a black friend who rapes people.

Easy there, he has a black peer who rapes people.

Huh, I thought it was because they took their belts away in jail.

It's just so much more fun to ignore the facts and call black guys gay too.  Get in on the bashing!

I don't understand.  Is that a question.  It sounds kinda like a question, but is it.

[Rage Against the McKee]

It's a question without a mark.

Sorry, was going to edit first post to include that the photo was from police going door-to-door to remind people of a community meeting following the woman being beaten, burned etc. 

It's not really related to Ferguson, but it is an example of the kind of police work that I've been talking about throughout this thread. Not that anyone noticed.

I don't either. Who said that?

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

I'm shocked that KSUW's account doesn't have a feature on it that autocorrects "thugs" to the n word, because that's basically what he means.

Are you saying that all the thug protestors are black? I don't think they are. That's a pretty racist assumption you just made there though. Check your privilege.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Well this isn't going to help matters... http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/11/18/darren-wilson-supporters-crowdfund-pantsupdontloot-ferguson-billboard/



So on the one hand, we've got race baiters like Al Sharpton and Eric Holder comparing Mike Mike to Emmett Till, and on the other side, we've got white people telling protestors to stop looting and pull their pants up. Know what's awesome about electing Obama twice? How far we've come in terms of having that "dialogue" about race. (But I know, that's just my "privilege" speaking).

what does that billboard have to do with Obama?

Nothing.

A truly excellent article on our corrupt Grand Jury process, and how the Ferguson case illustrates how it should be reformed. In summary, all accused should be entitled to the thorough presentation of evidence from both sides - but that is extremely rare, and is likely occuring here because of the DA's deference for a police officer.

Contrast with George Zimmerman, where the prosecutor skipped the GJ altogether.

[Rage Against the McKee]

The key difference between the two cases to me is that GZ chased down a kid who had done nothing wrong and murdered him, while this cop probably didn't do anything illegal.

So a trial before the trial then?

I think there should be a pre-GJ proceeding to see if they go to a GJ.

[EMAWmeister]

Sounds like the decision is coming today

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Hope so. Weekend looting is so much more fun.
