Every police supervisor, government official and military officer gets their eyes opened up to the media's shenanigans sooner or later. I'm surprised this guy made it all the way to captain (a pretty high level in a state police organization) without already getting his lesson.

Captain Johnson is from the Highway Patrol. He is not a police officer in the traditional sense.
In many (as in some, but not all) states, the Highway Patrol is just that - they drive around and write tickets. As a general rule, they deal with speeders and drunk drivers, not violent criminal types. I fear they might be in over their collective head in Missouri. They sure would be here in NC.

I noticed the media, including FOX are doing about the same crap they did during Katrina. They actually help ramp up anger and agitate.

One FOX guy interviewed some “protester” who said that it has always been like this in Ferguson. Store owners don’t want black people in their stores.

Oh really, many of those store owners are black and minorities. How come this is the first we have heard of it?

Giving camera time to morons is not helpful.

Captain Urban afraid of being shown up by coddling the criminal element?
