Capt. Ron Johnson, the Missouri Highway Patrol officer in charge of security in Ferguson, Mo., told a thousand-strong audience ... "I wear this uniform, so I'm standing up here to say I'm sorry.

"This is my neighborhood. You are my family. You are my friends and I am you," Johnson said, appearing to tear up.

"When this is over, I am going to go in my son's room. My black son," Johnson told the cheering crowd. "Who wears his pants sagging. Wears his hat cocked to the side. Got tattoos on his arms. But that's my baby."

“Doesn’t matter if he was black, white, brown, yellow, red, or polka-dotted.”

Yep. Gov. Nixon is race baiting and he is white.

Capt. Johnson stop treating your son as a ‘black’ son. Treat him as a son.

Capt. Johnson stop being a ‘black’ police chief and be a ‘police chief’.

Their thinking is similar to how Democrats have thought since the 60s.

During the Anti-Vietnam War movement, the Democratic perspective was that all military personnel were baby killers. They really believed the only reason people went into the military was to foment hate and slaughter of their fellow man.

Those same people aged, but never changed their thinking. When the Clintons got into the White House, they still hated the military, except now they directly controlled it. They used their past thinking to justify their own immoral military actions, thinking they were just a comparative politic now in control of the military and could commit the same atrocities as they perceived others had committed, because it had always been an antichristian, worldly game to them. Obama and Holder do the same thing daily. Obama saw nothing wrong in hunting down Gaddafi and assassinating him, nor in any other black op, because that’s how he sees the world.

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. Wait until this generation of blacks come into power and authority. A large percentage of them will commit criminal actions when they have power, simply because they have always thought legitimate authority was corrupt and they never had any desire to obey legitimate authority. They confuse authority with power and fail to discern any just power being given authority. They will feel self justified in becoming totalitarian racists if given the opportunity.

The proof of the thesis is Alcee Hastings, Barry Soetoro, Elijah Cummings, Mayor Berry (of DC fame), John Conyers, etc. But I strongly suspect that the rising generation of black thuggery will not have a place to practice what they have been trained to think ... they will be utilized soon to collapse and chaos and stravfation and disease, and the end of the American Republic. I truly believe the oligarchy plans that sooner rather than later. The oligarchy is now so wealthy that the debt being carried can be ignored in order to bring in their one world government and banking controls. Billions will die as utilitarian expenditure to achieve their agenda.

The video was released because of the Feedom of Information Act that was filed. He had no choice. But the media never
mentions that part.

Respect authority.

Do black moms (and dads if they’re still around) tell their sons and daughters that?

Why should they when the leaders don’t even respect this nation’s laws?

Now look at them

I would if I could find 'em.

The sanctimonious pr**ks could've at least stuck around and taken their lumps.

Sounds like Michael Brown could have been his son. Obama’s got paternity competition.
