It's 10:45 at night with an adult, a 9 yo boy and a 12 yo boy in a fire station that should have been locked shut, and with no one else around.

Yeah! The notion of "burglars" would be a first guess even for a polka-dot cop!

And note the report admits that the cop "DID NOT draw his weapon."

Also, once proper identification had been shown the incident ended, at least until the race cards started being thrown in the newspaper article.

Grow up.

Holder now speaking about how they’re going to “change” the Ferguson police department.

Of course not any mention about the criminal element there...just that the police dept is going to have “training” in how they appraoch arrests etc.

As always...it’s never the criminal it’s always further tieing the hands of police officer.

Further their going to do a “self-Policing “ in Ferguson...

Can you see the payoffs coming in that! Like asking the wolf to guard the henhouse!

Many of OPD are minorities. Note that the police officer had not drawn his gun. How are you thinking you are going to be shot when no gun is drawn. Also note race of officer not reported which in the Bay Area means not white

I view cops as a threat.

These days anyone who comes into contact with law enforcement for any reasonwould be wise to do the same. Holding a cell phone, brake pads, a garden hose, or even just having your hands in your pockets can cause these people to shoot you. Or, like we saw in Los Angeles last year they'll shoot at you just because you're driving a vehicle that's vaguely similar to some criminals' vehicle.

You just never know what's going to set them off anymore.

All Holder means is they are going to bring in more organize crime just like Chicago. MAFIA
