White cop calls black protesters 'animals' in Ferguson, Missouri
The Week ^ | August 12, 2014 | Ryu Spaeth

Posted on 08/12/2014 4:56:44 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Some disturbing footage from Ferguson, Missouri, courtesy of CNN. It shows a white cop telling protesters to "bring it, all you [expletive] animals," as they demonstrate against the killing of an unarmed 18-year-old black man by Ferguson's police force on Saturday.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Witnesses say Michael Brown was killed while holding his hands in the air, after he was stopped by police. The police say Brown went for an officer's gun during an altercation. The incident has touched off protests, rioting, and looting in Ferguson, where 65 percent of the population is African-American. The police force is overwhelmingly white.

The author. Go look at his Twitter account, it'll explain EVERYTHING.

They’re behaving worse than animals. They’re behaving like completely reprobate humans.

I am a business owner and a taxpayer. Cops are public employees and when they eff up, I pay the bills. I will criticize them when I think their behavior merits it.

It won’t be the cop’s livelihood that gets burned when this video is used to incite further rioting and looting in other venues.

It could spread. I am sure the Vice Lords are wanting some revenge for their homey.

Which is dumber, a looting disenfranchised black youth, or a cop? Tough one.

Or people who criticize cops who go into a war zone from the safety of their laptop.

That they do. 40 yrs ago, Ferguson was a pretty prosperous majority-white suburb. It is now 70% or so minority, as North St. Louis has become mostly untenable and people have left in droves for the suburbs.

40 yrs hence, I should not be at all surprised if the same fate would befall the Maryland Heights of today. Well before that, though, we shall see a similar incident to the current Ferguson one occurring in (likely) Mehlville, Maplewood, Brentwood, possibly Webster, certainly unincorporated North County.

The only imponderable is when the race war actually breaks out, and St. Louis County is lucky, there. It's too fragmented, and too many municipalities are totally black-controlled; these munis (or, rather, the black pols who control them) will serve to prevent, for a time, the breakout of open warfare, because they don't want to lose their rice bowl/power base. Other cities will explode considerably faster than STL or STL County.

Have you noticed the almost total **lack** of hard fact coming out of this mess? Call me cynical, but this means to me that TPTB will, yet again, end up threatening the general citizenry by attempting to whitewash/cover-up what actually happened Saturday, as opposed to putting all the available facts on the table. This type of action on the part of the local goobermint invariably generates one or more replays of this incident in future. Pls note that I make NO comment whatever about who is at fault here, although, given my quite intimate familiarity w/Ferguson, it seems pretty obvious to me. We shall see, eh?

FReegards to you!

We should be held hostage to the whims of would be rioters and looters. Careful to not offend them hence they burn down our cities. Really?

Thing is with the police, they are determined to come back home to their families and own homes, they don’t want to die. They’re in a state of hyper-vigilance, similar to that of a man in the military in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Now it sounds like they’re determined to destroy a mall? That should be interesting to watch and something that will end up showing that yes, the looters are out of control. A SWAT team versus a crazed mob bent on loot means that this will likely result in a full blown clash, meaning that this will make the news, making the blacks more irate and then having the blacks escalate all of this considerably.

It sounds like the rioters are now going to end up moving their craziness into other areas.

If they’d arrest and jail these reprobates for a considerable time maybe they’d think twice...but, nooooooo. Somehow that would be discrimination or some other BS excuse. Animals? No. Street sludge.

Log in to hell. These people are acting like animals and deserve to be criticized for their actions.

Uttering fighting words while facing down a mob is not hyper-vigilance... it’s the dumbassery of a low IQ rent-a-thug.

The only thug on this thread is your dumb ass. If you hate cops so much go join the rioters.
