Truth and Justice Needed in Ferguson, MO [Nightly LIVE RIOT thread]
SEIU Healthcare Illinois, Indiana, Missouri & Kansas ^ | August 19, 2014 | Kaitlin DeCero

Posted on 08/20/2014 5:08:32 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The following statement was released by Keith Kelleher, president of SEIU Healthcare Illinois, Indiana, Missouri & Kansas, in response to the shooting of Ferguson, MO, resident Michael Brown and the unrest that is occurring there:

The aftermath of the tragic shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, reveals the urgent need for justice to prevail in order to bring a level of calm back to the community. The initial lack of information coming from the Ferguson Police Department and its militarized response to protesters has clearly erased any faith in local authorities to uncover the truth.

To that end, the members of SEIU Healthcare Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas call on Governor Jay Nixon to do everything in his authority to de-escalate the militarized atmosphere in Ferguson and allow residents to practice their 1st Amendment right to peaceful assembly and protest.

Additionally, we call on the governor to appoint an independent investigator to work along with the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice, who also have been called in to investigate.

Michael Brown was shot six times while unarmed. Some accounts indicate that his hands were raised in the air when shot. The community demands that someone be held accountable for this abuse of force.

We express our heartfelt sympathy to the family of Michael Brown and call on Gov. Nixon to move swiftly and with transparency to review the facts, inform the community and bring charges wherever the investigation shows that there was misconduct.

We also believe that it is only when people of good will unite and organize for racial and economic justice that incidents like this will cease to occur.

- Only four (4) of the alleged “protestors” that were arrested in Ferguson Missouri one night last week were residents of Ferguson - dozens of trouble makers suddenly came to Ferguson from New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles, Gary Indiana, Miami, Phoenix, Seattle, and many more urban high barack population cities.

- Who is interested in giving the bum rush to the policeman that had to handle “Little Mikey” Brown?

- Here is a partial list:

- The New Black Panthers
- Drug Cartels
- ISSI
- US Attorney General Eric Holder
- The Taliban
- Jesse Jackson
- Beery Husseina Ebola junior
- Al Sharpton
- Al Quada
- The Democrat Progressives
- Bill Ames
- Sheila Jackson Lee
- ex-NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg
- current NYC Mayor DeBlasio (an admitted proud Communist)

- and mucho more

- I am thinking that american law enforcement officer are the new target of the left - Al Sharpton will be doubling down and holding a rally in NYC they weekend

- I would venture that millions of LE will or have been going after some tasty free venison and ducks. Deer slugs, Remington bolt action rifles with scopes, Ruger rifles, etc. Great for saving on the grocery bill and some valuable experience in mid range and long range shooting - Carlos Hathcock style,

- Just a thought - they cannot be “on the job” with 9mm all the time; a little fresh air and time with your friends and families could not hurt.

- Be careful out there -

I believe Wilson will not be charged.

What can they possibly charge him with? Doing his duty to protect and serve the people of Ferguson?

Can you imagine what would have happened if that raging bull Michael Brown had gotten ahold of Wilson’s weapon?

There would hve been many more dead at that scene.

BTW...when do we get to see the toxicology report?

He Absolutely should NOT be charged, but I fear he will anyway, nI made my donation to the Officer Wilson fund yesterday.

Yes I am thinking along with others that the toxicology report may say he was on something like PCP.

I clearly believe as you do that the officer is totally innocent, and that he is on the verge of being rail roaded, so for that reason I am hoping the toxicology report shows something like that.

Truth and Justice.... ehh!

Methinks that with Truth and Justice staring them in the face this bunch would still be clueless.

Deception on parade.
