After hearing about things like this, I hope President Obama is successful in federalizing local and state police departments. Apparently nobody can be trusted to do the right thing without proper oversight. And perhaps the number of innocent people murdered in cold blood (like Michael Brown) by racist, homicidal white pigs (like Darren Wilson) will decrease.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Nobody is trying to do that. Why not? President Obama can do whatever he wants. It's called the Executive Order. If he doesn't like an existing law, he can just change it with his pen. That's how America works. We need to stop things like this from ever happening again. When an innocent, defenseless boy raises his hands and asks a police officer to not shoot, that officer shouldn't immediately fire several rounds into that sweet African-American child. We need to change the way things work in this country. I'm glad they burned Ferguson to the ground in defiance of the disgusting racist cops. We should be willing to accept dramatic change for the good of this country.

Everyday Lurker posted:I'd accept that explanation if it weren't for legions of white middle-classers letting their own fears and prejudices make them deliberately dismissive of these problems. It's very easy for the average white person whose biggest fear is having their kids surrounded by blacks in a lovely school district to dismiss minority groups' experiences with cops. It's a lot harder to actually empathize with those people at the expense of pissing off your own tribe and questioning everything you know and do. Unfortunately, it doesn't help when large groups of minorities rally behind falsehoods, as Eric Holder confirmed. I mean, how hard is it to dismiss a blatant lie? It's also a good example of how large groups of people (not just minorities) can be easily misled, and inspired to engage in acts of arson and/or violence. Also, I heard that Michael Brown's mother might have her day in court for assaulting her own relatives and stealing money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLlDzWt7TPc There were a lot of bad things that went on that could have made it easy for racist white people to dismiss the arguments made by African-Americans. Alternatively, one almost has to wonder why people wanted to believe the "Hands up, don't shoot" thing so badly that they were willing to ignore the facts and reality of the situation.

Zeitgueist posted:Yeah black folks really, really really want to believe that unarmed black people get murdered by cops, it's not like this is a thing that happens. I think the word "murder" is a bit strong here. Darren Wilson was acting in self defense. Are you saying that cops should not defend themselves against unarmed black people that try to take their guns? Darren Wilson would be dead right now if he had let Michael Brown take his gun. And on an unrelated note, it is possible to kill someone with just your hands. VVVV - Who said he did that? Aside from you, of course.

PT6A posted:The fact that a very high standard is required to convict someone of a crime is a benefit of the system, not a flaw. The fact that this high standard is often ignored by juries and prosecutors in cases against minorities and other marginalized groups is the issue that needs fixing very urgently, but that fix cannot be accomplished by lowering the standards that everyone is supposed to abide by. I disagree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH_NVzIuEjM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrZZQzyhp7g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnAFCLGWl_Y

They are saying now that they have caught the shooter of the two cops. Supposedly they were shot by accident. I think that is a shame, considering how racist the police are.

eSporks posted:What does shot by accident mean? Do you have a link? Suspect admits to firing shots that struck two officers in Ferguson  quote:St. Louis County Police have confirmed that the suspected shooter of two police officers early Thursday morning outside of the Ferguson police department is in custody. Jeffrey Williams, 20, of north St. Louis County, has been charged with two counts of first-degree assault, firing a weapon from a vehicle, and two counts of armed criminal action. He is in custody with cash-only bail set at $300,000. If it wasn't for all the racism, this innocent African-American would not have been shooting at police officers from a car. He is the true victim, not those racist police officers. Besides, he wasn't even trying to kill the police officers (as evidenced by their survival)... he was trying to murder someone else. The police officers were said to have had their hands up, and there are claims that they asked Jeffrey Williams not to shoot them. The ironing is delicious.

FAUXTON posted:I heard it was legit in Ferguson to shoot at someone you think might possibly have committed a robbery. But only if you and the robber are both African-American. I've heard from a few coworkers that are neither black or white that they think the media is just trying to get people riled up about this because they want people to riot, or have a civil war, or something like that, because blood sells papers.

Rent-A-Cop posted:So a local pastor says Williams told him that someone or some people who were at the protest had robbed him at some prior time. He left and then returned and fired several shots from his car into the crowd.  If Williams had spent more time at the range, honing his marksmanship skills, anywhere from one to three protesters would be dead. But now we have two injured police officers. #blacklivesmatter

I think the real reason the police got shot was because the locals didn't trust the Ferguson police department. If Jeffrey Williams had felt comfortable reporting the theft to the fat, greasy, donut eating bacon filled pigs, then he wouldn't have felt he needed to take the law into his own hands, and he never would have tried to kill that protester, which resulted in him accidentally injuring two police officers. The police have nobody to blame but themselves. Especially that one oinker that got shot in the face with a .40 caliber bullet. gently caress the police. I hope they give Jeffrey the key to the city for helping to expose the corruption in Ferguson. We should all chip in a little money to help him pay his bail. This man deserves to be free. People like Jeffrey Williams are the same as the slaves that helped build the White House, and white people are keeping him down. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
