“Sorry if I repeated a story posted here previously and I wonder if it was also from an unreliable source and was chastised too. I haven’t been on here in a while and now I am beginning to remember why. I’m so sorry I wasted bandwith and took your precious time and that I’m apparently not up to your high standards. It seems we have extremist in every walk of life and I guess I can go play somewhere else where I want be dragged into the mud hole.”
I guess I am of the old school. When I see a post with “Breaking News” I expect something more than a few day old unsubstantianted click bait.
I am a Deputy Sheriff and honestly have been working on night shift 12 hours a day this week and had just found the posting while at work between calls. I posted in a hurry and didn’t take time to go through all of the “Proper” pre posting requirements. I apologize for the improper posting of this news item.
I have been following this on other Police Boards and private ones such as Police One, a credible source who had advised the extent of Officer Wilson’s injuries days ago and the media whores refused to acknowledge or report from their sources or briefings.
This was a good shoot by what I have read and I expected the Media and Department to release this information much earlier. The officer received a severe injury, an orbital eye fracture and no one seemed to want to report anything other than the minor reference that he had been struck. This Officer has a major injury and he was just “struck?”.
No one has mentioned that this Officer was acting under duress and still trying to protect society from these Robbers/Thugs and prohibit their furthering this crime spree. This was that officers training kicking in and the assault he already endured was cause enough to stop these thugs with deadly force, armed or not. Not being armed with a gun does not mean they were unarmed and not dangerous, just that they had no weapon at the time. There is also the attempt to take his weapon from him earlier and use it against him already occurring, now here the 6’4” 280# offender returning in a running charge to attempt another try at getting his weapon, this time allowing Big Mike to kill the injured officer and/or others. Didn’t hear all of that in the news did you? What would you do?
The next thing you will hear is that this was long in coming and that counseling is needed for the long term abuses the residents of Ferguson have endured at the hands of racist Police previously and that it’s a mindset and not their fault yada yada yada.
Booker T. Washington warned his brethren that there would be Blacks who would make their living off of the backs of their Brothers, and at what the cost? Where are the Black leaders who should come to the scene and acknowledge the high percentage of crime and the billions of tax dollars spent to educate and elevate the standard of living and elevate the culture of the black community? Where is their demand change! Instead we get the likes of Jackson and Sharpton and others coming and stirring the mud in the bowl and prolonging any chance of reconciliations between the races.
It’s not the color stupid, it’s the lifestyle and culture of crime and degrading of family and morals that I detest..
It’s easy to Monday Morning Quarterback a split second decision made by an Officer with a wide view camera lens and different angles offered by a video taken from distance, but try to relate to what the narrow focus from tunnel vision the body reverts to in a critical incident like this when time slows down and the field of vision restricts your view. it goes on and on and like most another failure of the race baiters.
