Capt. Ron Johnson, the Missouri Highway Patrol officer in charge of security in Ferguson, Mo., told a thousand-strong audience ... "I wear this uniform, so I'm standing up here to say I'm sorry.
"This is my neighborhood. You are my family. You are my friends and I am you," Johnson said, appearing to tear up.
"When this is over, I am going to go in my son's room. My black son," Johnson told the cheering crowd. "Who wears his pants sagging. Wears his hat cocked to the side. Got tattoos on his arms. But that's my baby."

Yes sir that's my baby no sir I don't mean maybe....
Yup. I agree.
Nice pic of America’s finest./s
And they wonder why they don’t get respect.
.
That is for the majority of black the problem is white. Millions of unemployed and poor black want destruction as a release valve for their misguided hate. Most of these are diseased people and cannot be saved from their own destruction.
Johnson sounds more like a community organizer than an LEO.
Some people in Ferguson need “tough love”, not more pandering.
And the reputation of conservative black men like Clarence Thomas are destroyed by the liberal press. He could have been a great role model for young black men, but he was made to be irrelevant in this narcissistic society.
I’m waiting to see what they do to Dr. Ben Carson.
Are they going to keep rcounting the chads hanging off this “kid” until they get the results they want?
Would not want him for my partner, if I were a cop.
I’m sorry our ancestors hundreds of years ago didn’t pick their own damn cotton.
Maybe Capt. Ron Johnson can form a consulting firm with Chief Charles Moose, who refused to follow evidence pointing to black suspects as the D.C. snipers (resulting in who knows how many lives lost). Together they can swoop in on racial incidents and get in on the shakedown money, just like the Just Us Brothers.
I didn’t listen to all of Rush’s show, so you may be right. At the time, I was thinking he sounded good too.
I hope Rush mentions this guy today.
Pure, unadulterated Bravo Sierra.
A 290 lb, 6,6” tall, strong arming robber and thug ignored a police oficer’s lawful directive and when the officer got the report of his robbery, attempted to question him.
The thug resisted and tried to get the officer’s gun and was shot. When he then attempted to run, the officer ordered him to stop and the big thug charged the officer who then shot him dead.
THAT is what happened.
Ths state policeman is pandering, and ignoring his own sworn duty to do so.
Doesn’t matter if he was black, white, brown, yellow, red, or polka-dotted.
My guess is he’ll soon run for U.S. house of reprehensibles, as a democrat.
Not me....I had him pegged from day one; another camera lover, such as Schumer et al.
Eggs Ackley Jeff, but that doesn’t take into account that the regime needs ginned up cirses in order to keep minds diverted from the criminality of their rule. Blacks have been trained to focus upon racism, whether it is present or not. TheL4B rides the racism for all it’s worth ... and with an entire racial population trained to see racism through Magic Thinking, the regime will never run out of fools to manipulate.
Thanks for the Moose reminder. Moose did not seem too bright to me. Johnson knows what he is doing and can cause more damage.
