Ferguson, Missouri, Police Officer Shot Saturday Evening By Tom Winter

A Ferguson police officer was shot Saturday night in the St. Louis suburb where the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teen sparked days of protests, according to officials. The officer was shot close to the area impacted by protests last month over the shooting of Michael Brown, a senior local police source with official knowledge of the situation told NBC News. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said he did not think the officer's shooting was related to two separate protests about Michael Brown's shooting that were taking place, according to The Associated Press.

It sounds to me like Obama is saying ISIS is a struggle with diversity issues. What an idiot he is.

Ferguson PD needs to just “pull out” of the area since the locals don’t want them.

As long as no blacks were shot, that would be racist.

Pray America wakes up

Despite all assertions to the contrary, the shooting of the officer was a DIRECT retaliation for the shooting of a teenaged thug unwilling to submit to authority.

It is a very narrow line between disrespect for authority and outright anarchy.

This was no way to restore even an uneasy truce between respect and freedom of expression. Another’s right to swing arms ends when it connects with somebody else’s nose.

A woman is overheard in one of the videos saying something like:

“I am afraid for my life.”


She should be with all the black violence. I am pretty sure he comments were directed at the police. Shows how ignorant so many of them are.

There is no trust between the police and the citizens. It predated the Brown shooting and that's never going to change. Ferguson would be better off disbanding the department and contracting with the County Sheriff department.

They don’t seem to grasp that the Ferguson police are the only reason the rioters are still alive.

the officer was shot in the arm while interrupting a burglary at a business.

White people will be demonstrating in the streets, rioting, looting, burning down the stores in their neighborhoods and
demanding the immediate lynching of the black perps.

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Eric Holder are on the way to Ferguson to fire up the crowds and support the demonstrations.

Pull out every law enforcement officer in the area and turn it over to Holder's People - the ones he lets provide "protection" at polling places.

King Samir Shabazz, National Field Marshal for the New Black Panther Party:

"I love black people, and I hate the g*****n white man, woman, and child, grandma, aunt, uncle, Pappa Billy Bob, and whoever else. Redneck Tom and Blueneck Robert, and whoever else you wanna name. I hate the white man. I hate the very look of white people. I hate the sound of white people. g*****n it, I hate the smell of white people. I hate the oppression of white people, I hate the murder and the rape and the torture and the taking away of our names, our culture, our God, our music and damn, I hate this cracker for everything he has done to us.”

"You should be thankful we’re not running around here hanging crackers by nooses and all that kind of stuff, yet, yet, yet.”

Whatever. But there is no doubt that any trust and belief between the Ferguson PD and the citizens of the town is broken beyond repair. Trying to fix it is a waste of time and they might as well do away with it altogether. Other towns in St. Louis County did the same. Before going to Ferguson Daren Wilson worked for the Jennings PD when it was disbanded. Turn it over to the county and pay them to do it.

Just "workplace violence," huh?

Denying the problem doesn't make it go away, it only guarantees the problem won't be fixed.

“It didn’t happen within the proximity of the protest area. This [the shooting scene] is an area that’s fairly secluded. I wouldn’t have any reason to believe right now that it was linked in any way, shape, manner or form with the protests." - St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar is an idiot, a leftist buttboy for the Demonicrats, or both.

I think the policemen should all resign and leave the place to fend for itself.

Those "I am Darren Wilson" bracelets may have been a subtle way of telling them "If he goes, I go."

The day he did his mea culpa he was not in uniform but in a casual polo shirt. I suppose it was to show that he was just a regular guy, not an official law enforcement officer.

There reaction was total disrespect and fury.

Dead people and snotty college students aren’t known for their ability to think.
