Police Officer: Trust Me, Ferguson Changed Everything

I’m a cop.

A few weeks ago, two of my beat partners and I were called to an apartment in a fairly nice complex to help a mother and father with their 16-year-old son.

The son had no criminal history, and by all accounts was a decent kid. But he was having some problems at home — breaking things and making threats with a knife — and the parents needed our help.

When we finally located the son, who is of mixed ethnicity (dad is white, mom is Hispanic), he instantly began cussing and yelling at us. He took a fighting stance and said he was not going to do anything we told him.

Luckily, we were able to calm him and get him into handcuffs without any blows being thrown.

We asked why he was so hostile towards us. His response? Ferguson. The cops could not be trusted because of what happened in Ferguson, Missouri. He told us that he wanted to kill all white cops because of what “they” had done to Michael Brown....

The police have damaged their own reputation, but in the end you’d rather have them between you and a Ferguson mob than not. They know where their bread is buttered (taxpayers), and they know who kicks in nothing for police protection (gibsmedats).

Actually not. I'm armed all the time. I'll take care of myself.

With that number of aggressors, I don’t know what good anything less than a Gatling gun would do.

Mobs tend to disburse when shots are fired.
