St Louis Rioting

This is what really pisses me off about the case.

There are witnesses that are obviously saying different things.

It would be a totally different matter if the damn cop car had a dashcam with sound.

Agreed. But I still think the conversation in this video is one of the best because it is raw and unrehearsed. It doesn't provide a ton of detail but it does provide some important information.

Rubberneckers. " Kilt him for no motherfucking reason."

Good or bad, there's a reason.

Meh. He might have thought it was another black kid he was kinda shocked to hear the police shot him.

Troof. I didn't think of that.

[clenz]

He also admits to not seeing anything - as does anyone else that you can hear say that they didn't see it, just heard the shots.

Do you deny that the media released the address of the officer?

Do you deny the Black Panther Party calling for the death of the officer?

Do you still beat your wife?

Do you have film on that?

Oh, that's right, it didn't happen. Another useless houndpuppy deflection after someone on his side got his arse kicked in with reason.

Let's review:

Do anyone deny that the media released the address of the officer?

Do anyone deny the Black Panther Party called for the death of the officer?

Just the facts, folks...we're trying to go with reason here.

[YoUDeeMan]

This so called New Black Panther Party is nothing like the old heads. In fact, the old Panthers do not like these new guys. They do nothing but start shit. However, I want everyone to watch what comes out today. There are two more witnesses that will only come foward during the trial. This police department has to be investigation by the DOJ. Too many people saying the same thing. IMHO, they need to push back the Grand Jury anothet three weeks. Too many hans in the cookie jar, and something is going to get lost.

The old jihadists do not like the new guys.

Say, kkklean, what's coming out today? Your momma, with another one of her brilliant character references?

I watched a minute or two of that and got no decent information. Can you tell me where I should watch so I don't kill 10 minutes of my life.

I did like the observation that "he dead as a motherfucker"

Listen to the part where they discuss Brown turning around and going back towards the officer.(first half of video)

Then there are these two accounts that suggest he turned around and did not advance towards the officer.

There is a lot of attention on the "militarization" of our police departments.
I'm not sure what to think.
My kneejerk reaction is to think about the officers. I would like to see them protected as much as possible. Especially considering the fact that criminals are more heavily armed than ever before. People are offended by shields and helmets and vests? WTF? They are there because YOU are there, and they have no idea if or how YOU are going to snap.

I heard some criticism on the news about the camo uniforms. Maybe there is a case for them to wear the traditional blue or black instead. Not sure if that makes a difference so, meh. It would differentiate them from the National Guard, which would be considered a higher level of response though.

I do find it strange that tear gas canisters are deployed with a gun in some cases. Seems that throwing them would allow for an adjustment of speed that would be less confrontational.

Well, maybe we should try to do something about THAT, instead of slowly turning into a police state.

We're open to suggestions. Got any with proven results?

Yeah, sure you are.

[Skjellyfetti]

Look at countries with low rates of police officers killed in the line of duty and follow their results.

Fuck, most cops in the UK don't even carry guns.

13 police officers killed in the line of duty in the last decade. 5 police officers shot in the the UK in the last decade.

Why is that?

I'm sure Alex Jones has a rational explanation.


1776 will commence again!

[mrklean]

I just want to say, Thank You to Capt. Ron Johnson of the MO State Police and the MO National Gurad. Thank you for your service!!!

[mrklean]

in many departments, this has already happen.

Yes. I know. I've tested them with police from 10 different states. That's why I've made that statement 3 or 4 times in this thread.

How many Departments use these cameras?

Yeah, sure you are.

I'm not a gun guy. But you can't simply de-arm the police at this point.

Before you whip out a chart, just tell me what you think the solution is.
It seems you are suggesting a UK model. So how do we get from where we are to where they are?

This is shitty policing and hopefully Officer Fuck You gets his due after the dust settles.

Assuming he has a round in the chamber, that is just really stupid to be pointing the weapon at people. Carry it at the ready, sure, but not flashing everyone with the muzzle. Dumb ass.

Agreed. This is just a poor job at "keeping the peace".
Question though; Could that be a rubber bullet gun? What does one of those look like?

This! Officer GoFuckYourself needs to be relieved of his duties on the spot. He was acting WAY too irrational and paranoid!

[93henfan]

No. It's definitely a rifle with a short-to-mid-range optic and appears to be an AR, though the video is too grainy for me to say so with absolute certainty.

A "rubber bullet gun" as you call it usually a shotgun or grenade launcher style of system that fires a non-lethal round that is larger so as not to penetrate skin.

If not more so. I know my rights. I don't go out looking to get arrested trying to defend them. I have them. Period.

Why do you think they were looking to get arrested? They weren't even charged with anything.

Why were they there in the 1st place?

They're photojournalists.

I'm going to have to go with: "photographing a news story"
