The cops should pull out of the black neighborhoods and let the thugs rule. It wouldn’t be but a few days before they would demand that the police return.

I’m posting this one AGAIN due to a (redundancy alert!) ridiculous remark made by Alan Colmes (he of the wandering eye) on FOX this morning. The thrust of his comment was that whites kill more blacks than blacks kill whites here!
Bill Whittle explains why that is so much liberal/leftist bravo sierra designed to keep blacks on their plantation!

Two words: Body Cameras. Problem solved.

Ever seen the view from one of these cameras during a tussel? During those blurry chaotic moments, much can still be left to interpretation during a forensic analysis. All you still need is a couple of collaborated lying thugs to skew it wrongly.

My biggest concern longterm, is what this new "mindset" will do when trying to recruit new young people into LEO careers. I bet many who might want to serve in that capacity, will pass because of the new "Thugs Are Off Limits" philosophy.

What it says to me?

Don’t bother with crime-fighting in black areas. Stay in the car and get home alive.

Reaffirm that cops have a DUTY to defend themselves when threatened.
There will always be questions and second guessing after wards, that's procedure.
The cop has one second to make a life-or-death decision, investigators, grand juries and armchair cops all over the world have months.

Body cameras and reducing the number of police. Police are just not that effective inreducing crime, and are very expensive. As we’ve seen in Fergidishu and countless other places, when the SHTF, you’re on your own.

All across American law enforcement, officers know that the new reality facing them when they pull their guns is: By defending myself, I could be condemning myself.

Welcome to the world of law-abiding citizens, law enforcement, those same people you gleefully arrest, vilify, and prosecute for defending themselves against violent criminals. How's it feel?

What’s said here applies equally to CCW permit holders. If you are a white man legally carrying a firearm and you are attacked by a black man, as was officer Wilson or neighborhood watch Zimmerman, and you defend yourself, before the “system” is through with you, your family will be made destitute and homeless from attorney fees, and you’ll wish you had just taken your a$$whipping and hope he didn’t decide to kill you.

In the country we now live in, if you think you need a gun to go there, then don’t go there. Nothing good can come from an encounter with the “privileged” race.

“How many will lay down their badge and their career and walk away?

Probably none.”

I hope that’s true. I’m not sure we would like the affirmative-action “replacement” officers that would take their place.

These riots didn’t happen in a vacuum. As in the Trayvon case, Holder’s Justice Department sent paid agitators to organize what we saw. CNN and the other alphabets were complicit.

What we saw was a tribute to O’s ability to organize mobs while supposedly disavowing them.

And its a reminder that as long as people look to government to make their lives better, they will always be cannon fodder ripe for manipulation.

What worries me, is that a cop will hesitate to react, given what has happened in Ferguson, and we’ll be attending the funeral of a fallen law enforcement officer.

I dunno I look at cases like Jose Guerena, and it occurs to be that a lot of innocent civilians get shot by cops.

Dead thug, raise holy hell.

Hyperbole. Not usually. The race baiters jumped on this, just like they tried to ruin the Duke lacrosse players, Sarah Palin and anyone else who they don't like. It's not just cops who should fear these people.

Body cameras solve nothing. They simply provide more ammunition for the enemy lawyers and race baiters as every single word is parsed, every voice inflection, every stance, every shot one by one analyzed. You’re deluded if you think body cams would have changed anything here.

What the cop learns is that proactive activity is to be completely avoided. Answer calls, w write nice reports, but basically let them run wild.
Cam or no cam.

It would be much more useful to have body and full time office webcams with sound on our political leaders.

Oh. . And when a body cam fails, it’s automatically a cover up. Cams will solve everything. Because we all know that when faced with reality the black community apologizes and makes amends. Please. .

Body cameras won’t solve this particular problem. Liberals disregard facts and evidence, even utterly conclusive evidence because of their basic belief that Truth and Fact are mental constructs. If they don’t fit they don’t exist.

Sorry, but this article is missing a key factor that works against Wilson. Law enforcement apathy to killing innocen people. Their complete willingness to circle the wagons around ANY cop. Even the stairwell shooter has the comissioner trying to dismiss it as an accident.

There are too many shootings that are clearly wrong. People are getting tired of it. Wilson is catching the flack from bad shoots getting ignored. When whitewashes are all we get, one innocent cop looks like another.

Always remember that the Dorner hunt shootings went unpunished.

The left wants more White cops dead and more non-White thugs canonized as saints.

What needs to happen is when the sheriffs come to DC next month, they need to march into the White House and arrest Obama for his crimes against the USA. Never happen, of course.

America’s cops should realize that their chief executive, zero, jumped on this incident in August to try to use it to affect the November midterms.

Just as zero used the media to cover up Benghazi to protect himself before the ‘12 election, he used the media to ignite passion about Ferguson- even against substantial evidence that Brown was a thug who attacked a cop- before the midterms to try to save his sorry party.

zero sacrificed the truth for political ideology, and threw the officer and his brothers in blue under the bus to further his transformation of America.

America’s police officers... wake up!! Stand with the people of America! The administration is NOT on your side, but the Constitution (rule of law) is!

Was Michael Brown guilty?
Hands down!
