If I was the ferguson police department, I would walk. Tell them they can have the city.

But

That is what the left wants. Ferguson and other cities lawless so they can take over. What kind of sick mind do you have to have to want chaos?

Amazing how a few minorities place in key positions have set back race relations 60 years, if not more.

Are you trying to tell me that MAYBE the media twisted related the story to make the COPS look bad and Michael Brown look like the innocent angel?

I am SHOCKED, just SHOCKED and well, SHOCKED.

Plus the governor of the state has spoken openly about the need to have justice done “for Michael Brown.” He’s not the one who might be put on trial.

How many of these businesses being torched in Ferguson, MO are owned by Blacks or at least provided jobs for Blacks in the neighborhood? Soon the local thugs will have no place to go to steal their Swisher Sweets and Skittles.

Officer Wilson will shortly be a political prisoner and then a casualty of the war that Obama and Holder are conducting against the US. There will never be racial equality and peace as long as the political Left is in charge. There is too much money and power to be derived through the endless conflict.

The goal is to polarize and enrage and foment even more racial tension and violence to distract from Obama’s seemingly endless political problems, as well as to energize the Democratic Party’s base so they vote in droves in November. Democrats who aren’t in denial are now deathly afraid of the electoral tsunami approaching that seems increasingly likely to leave Republicans in control of both houses of Congress. A GOP recapture of the Senate no longer looks dicey; the only question is how big a majority Republicans will have in that dusty old chamber where good conservative ideas go to die.

This guy nails it. Everything in Ferguson is being staged by the White House for the purpose of getting Blacks to the polls in November. Without their reliable votes, the Democrats are going to experience a monumental ass whooping and they know it. This is nothing more than a plan to mitigate that disaster. See what you can do when you control the government, have a compliant press corps, and are completely unbound by constraints of law, morality, and Constitutional constraint.

What a mess ! With all the finger pointing away from where it started ...The “Bully Pulpit”

A democrat (in name only) party governor (Mo Governor Jay Nixon) goose steps along with the party’s agenda. Conflict and division designed to perpeptuate racial division to make impeachment an imposibility. Which now demands a hanging of a police officer who defended himself attacked by a huge black thug by calling for, not justice, but “vigorous prosecution”.

That governor over rides local jurisdictions places in command his commander of his state police who decides making peace is done by marching with black terrorists and flashing gang signs.

Which naturally turns in chaos. Neighborhood businesses destroyed, people shot.

And once again black callers to conservative talk shows
Which have black callers in complete denial never told “You can’t handle the truth...

Rather, the robbery video is going to be the final word.

There are three choices for law enforcement when encountering a situation.

1. Ignore the event by looking the other way.

2. Call for backup and wait until they arrive.

3. Confront the subject.

We are rapidly moving to choice #2. In this case, LEOs take down the details and file a report.

With #2 the result is that the LEO and the subject are less likely to be harmed but the victim is usually hurt or killed.
With #3 the victim is less likely to be injured but the LEO and subject are more likely to be injured or killed.

An Open Letter to Captain Ronald S. Johnson

Chief Ed Delmore |

I have to call you out.

I don’t care what the media says. I expect them to get it wrong and they often do. But I expect you as a veteran law enforcement commander—talking about law enforcement—to get it right.

Unfortunately, you blew it. After days of rioting and looting, last Thursday you were given command of all law enforcement operations in Ferguson by Governor Jay Nixon. St. Louis County PD was out, you were in. You played to the cameras, walked with the protestors and promised a kinder, gentler response. You were a media darling. And Thursday night things were better, much better.

But Friday, under significant pressure to do so, the Ferguson Police released the name of the officer involved in the shooting of Michael Brown. At the same time the Ferguson Police Chief released a video showing Brown committing a strong-arm robbery just 10 minutes before he was confronted by Officer Darren Wilson.

Many don’t like the timing of the release of the video. I don’t like that timing either. It should have been released sooner. It should have been released the moment FPD realized that Brown was the suspect.

Captain Johnson, your words during the day on Friday helped to fuel the anger that was still churning just below the surface. St. Louis County Police were told to remain uninvolved and that night the rioting and looting began again. For much too long it went on mostly unchecked. Retired St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch tweeted that your “hug-a-looter” policy had failed.

Boy did it.

And your words contributed to what happened Friday night and on into the wee hours of Saturday. According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, you said the following regarding the release of the video: “There was no need to release it,” Johnson said calling the reported theft and the killing entirely different events.

Well Captain, this veteran police officer feels the need to respond. What you said is, in common police vernacular—bullshit. The fact that Brown knew he had just committed a robbery before he was stopped by Officer Wilson speaks to Brown’s mindset. And Captain, the mindset of a person being stopped by a police officer means everything, and you know it.

Let’s consider a few examples:
On February 15, 1978 Pensacola Police Officer David Lee conducted a vehicle check. He didn’t know what the sole occupant of the vehicle had recently done, but the occupant did. Who was he? Serial killer Ted Bundy. Bundy attempted to disarm Lee. Lee was able to retain his firearm and eventually took Bundy into custody.

On April 19, 1995 Oklahoma State Trooper Charlie Hangar stopped a vehicle for minor traffic violations. He didn’t know that 90 minutes earlier the traffic violator, Timothy McVeigh, killed 168 people with a truck bomb at the Murrah Federal Building. But McVeigh sure knew it, didn’t he? Fortunately, given his training and experience Hangar was able to take McVeigh into custody for carrying a concealed firearm. It was days later before it was determined that McVeigh was responsible for the bombing.

On May 31, 2003 then-rookie North Carolina police officer, Jeff Postell, arrested a man digging in a trash bin on a grocery store parking lot—an infraction that would rise to about the level of jaywalking. Postell didn’t know that he had just captured Eric Rudolph, the man whom years earlier had killed and injured numerous people with bombs and was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.

So now, let’s consider Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson’s stop of Michael Brown. Apparently Wilson didn’t know that Brown had just committed a strong-arm robbery. But Brown did! And that Captain, is huge.

Allegedly, Brown pushed Wilson and attempted to take Wilson’s gun. We’re also being told that Officer Wilson has facial injuries suffered during the attempt by Brown to disarm him. Let’s assume for a moment those alleged acts by Brown actually occurred. Would Brown have responded violently to an officer confronting him about jaywalking? Maybe, but probably not.

Is it more likely that he would attack an officer believing that he was about to be taken into custody for a felony strong-arm robbery? Absolutely.

Officer Wilson survived the encounter with Brown as did Lee, Hangar, and Postell. Michael Brown didn’t survive and it’s too soon to say if Officer Wilson’s use of deadly force was justified and legal. You and I both know that not all officers survive such confrontations. Officers die in incidents like this Captain Johnson, including a couple that I remember from your own organization:

On April 15, 1985 Missouri Trooper Jimmie Linegar was shot and killed by a white supremacist he and his partner stopped at a checkpoint; neither Trooper Linegar nor his partner were aware that the man they had stopped had just been indicted by a federal grand jury for involvement in a neo-Nazi group accused of murder. The suspect immediately exited the vehicle and opened fire on him with an automatic weapon.

Just a month before, Missouri Trooper James M. Froemsdorf was shot and killed—with his own gun—after making a traffic stop. When the Trooper made that stop he didn’t know that the driver was wanted on four warrants out of Texas—But again the suspect knew it.

So Captain Johnson, I guess the mindset and recently committed crimes of the suspects that murdered those Missouri Troopers didn’t mean anything. The stops by the Troopers, as you have said, are entirely different events right?

Bullshit.

The Department of “Just Us” is what Holder and Obama have made it.
