A woman cop was just shot in Ferguson. It'll be interesting to see what precipitated the shooting and how the cops and community respond. [h=1]Ferguson officer shot; details still emerging[/h]"A Ferguson police officer was shot Saturday night, according to St. Louis County Police Department spokesman Brian Schellman. The officer, a woman, is still alive, Schellman said. The shooting occurred in the 1000 block of Smith Avenue in Ferguson, near the new Ferguson Community Center. Dozens of police cars from numerous jurisdictions converged on the area after the shooting. Police have established a staging area near the St. Peters Evangelical Church of Christ on West Florissant Avenue." http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/...cle_21e165ad-1f7f-5ae8-b30a-fb9d9dc40afe.html
I wonder if the cops will bring out their military toys and attempt to intimidate the locals as they tried to do before. They are sure to engage in some nasty forms of retribution.
Here's an update. It seems that the cop was shot while trying to prevent a burglary. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/...cle_21e165ad-1f7f-5ae8-b30a-fb9d9dc40afe.html
This had zero to do with race. Looks like an attempted robbery in action. So why the hell is this about michael brown?
Well it could be considered a case of self-defense because the alleged crooks feared for their lives. That always works for the cops so it should be applicable to others as well. Equal justice and all that. Even if a person is committing a crime he should still have the right of self-defense. That's what I learned from the Zimmerman case.
What can you expect from the media when they go on to report that the police were using rubber bullets in Ferguson because a reporter found some rubber hearing protectors on the ground during the riots. Ha! Anyhow, are you being facetious when you say they all look alike? Sounds like it.
Well it is kind of hard to identify one from another; http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/i...20/scott-olson/scott-olson01.w529.h352.2x.jpg
Maybe they should riot, loot the local business, and destroy the property of innocent people then have a bunch of malcontent media types call it a "peaceful civil rights protest".
I barely had the TV on yesterday and even I knew there was protesting and rioting AGAIN in that hideous little town. Let it burn. The cops should simply walk away and let Darwin settle things.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/27/us/ferguson-police-officer-shot/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 Updated info.. Strange another cop was shot at the same night.. Granted off duty.. Such a lovely place Ferguson is!
yes they broke up a crime in progress. The criminals had guns and opened fire on the cops. It is a crime and one that happens too often. Trying to make it more than that is beyond speculation.
Hmmmm . . . perhaps everyone has gotten the wrong end of the stick here. It sounds to me like a typical low-information pair of innate Dem Party voters launched their own private little war on . . . a woman. See? Conundrum solved!
Lol, yet you were screaming race when Michael Brown was shot. One word describes Ferguson MO, "Savages" - - - Updated - - - The citizens torched the business, so are the cops going to begin torching residents? Fair is fair right? lulz.
IU wonder if the leftists will bring out their asinine attempts to pretend that violent criminals are "the real victims"...oh wait....they already have, haven't they? Only THREE POSTS IN.... I'm sure that the shooter was another Poor, Innocent Angel, like the Sanctified "Victim", Michael Brown, shown below practicing "commerce" with a minority business owner in Ferguson, the day he was shot: By all means, please keep pushing the Demleft's ANTI-LAWENFRCEMENT/PRO-CRIMINAL platform. As a matter of fact, INSIST that ALL DEMOCRAT candidates and office holders do the same....PLEEEEEASE.
