Two words: Body Cameras. Problem solved.

Body cameras are a fine idea and I’m completely in favor of them.

However these savages don’t believe the findings of a Grand Jury and a literal mountain of physical forensic evidence. What makes you think they’d believe a video?

You can’t reason a person out of a position they weren’t reasoned into.

Magic technology. Technology will solve everything.

What Ferguson really means is that it is now illegal for a white person to defend themselves when attacked by a black person.

Really? Cameras malfunction at inopportune times. Cops would be accused of turning them off or manufacturing evidence.

We have the thug Michael Brown on camera robbing a store. We have dozens of witnesses telling the grand jury that Wilson was only defending himself.

What difference did it make to ObaMao? Sharpton? The rioters in Ferguson? Their wannabe clones elsewhere in the country?

Actually, car and body cameras seem to have solved the problem for many a Southern police force. When the video is quickly broadcast on the nightly news after the incident, the rabble rousers often find the rabble isn’t interested any more.

Body cameras will not mean a damn thing. These animals are insane and the only thing in their brain is violence and the fun of destroying things they will never have. These are the sick and if most welfare is stopped you will see just how millions of Americans think of this Country that have given then the chance to be a real human. They are the animals like old Rome.

Is it just me, or is it time to impose the “Insurrection Act”? Just askin.

They will simply only pay attention to the part they want to, just like during the rodney king thing.

Quit policing black communities. Drive around with blinders on if need be.

I think it is referred to as “drive and wave”.

What ever happened to the concept “self-defense”?

No more than anybody else, a law enforcement officer is not about to give up life for no reason. Or at least a sane reason.

It is one thing to walk into an ambush, another altogether to go in with the expectation the other parties involved are at least semi-rational. One does not deal with rattlesnakes or rabid animals by trying to reason with them. Sometimes the decision as to whether one is facing a sane and rational being, or a pit viper, comes down to fractions of a second.

Shoot first, ask questions later. Part of the cowboy code, if I recall correctly.

Dirty Harry, as played by Clint Eastwood, was some kind of hero of mine.

Hey, thugs and robbers are simply redistributing the wealth.

Woe to a cop who keeps them from doing it. The Darren Wilsons of the future will leave our self-proclaimed community organizers alone.

Having your career ended over it is not worth it.

No one would have your back, even the president could denounce you.

This President and his AG are thugs... they identify with the criminals rather than the good guys. I don't think the American people are going to fall for that kind of person again.

WHAT FERGUSON MEANS FOR AMERICA'S COPS

Why just cops? Every American citizen has the unalienable right to defend their lives against violent attackers, regardless of the color of the attacker, and regardless of the uniform, or lack thereof, of the defending citizen.

Violent thugs come in all colors. Brown just happened to be brown, or some such. It wasn't his color that got him killed -- it was his violent behavior during the minutes before, and leading right up to the last twitch of muscle on his worthless carcass.

Thugs like this need to be stopped, by anyone, anywhere.

It’s not nearly as straightforward as you like to think.

It will just open up a whole new area of interpretation and second guessing.

Harry Callahan, DCI Gene Hunt, and DI (?) Regan are on a similar list.
