Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | stayceem - 2014-08-19 5:23 PM I am sorry but this whole thing ticks me off... working within law enforcement, its sad how little respect they have. So many people are throwing stones at LE yet then they need help, who do they call? These officers have families, friends, children, pets to go home to and they have to articulate every move they make and put themselves in danger everday for others. I had an officer who ran into a fully englufed home and drug the home owners out. Do you think it made news? nope. Racism goes both ways and I can tell you, I take calls from african american males frequently and i cant tell you how hateful they are towards white people. Racism goes both ways and you bet your ass LE profiles. HOWEVER, people are mistaken that its goes both ways. If you are white in a primarily black, hispanic neighborhood you are going to be suspicious. I pray for this officer and his agency. His career will forever change. You ask any officer, opening fire and killing someone isnt easy on your conscious no matter how big of a scum bag they are.
You dont have to be sorry, cause most of us feel the same way.. |

No leadership by anyone in this whole thing from the Police all the way to the Governor. Now the AG is coming to town to add fuel to the fire. Holder is involved because Obozo sent him there.. Make no mistake. No mater what the grand jury return, the feds will come down on this cop in some form or another.
I know, lol i kinda answered my own question. Makes me angry that these hate mongers are adding fuel. |

Cold hands and Warm Heart
Location: oklahoma | Whomever the black man is on Brett Baier right now is spot on... He said 'instead of Holder and Obama using the race card when it benefits their agenda, they should be examples of how to succeed to young blacks and tell them to pull their pants up, get an education.' (Paraphrased).
Bill Cosby has been saying it for years. |

Location: SE Louisiana | I was really pizzed at Jay Nixon the other day when he said he was appalled at the actions of the police because "I've been there almost every day" he said... I sent a comment to the governors office saying if he would instead of visiting almost every day, he should visit almost every night to see what these cops have to deal with 1st hand. Then he might not be so appalled.. |

It's called getting the black vote. Many of the political bufoons are using this for their re-election. Shameful. |

Well law enforcement shouldnt have military type vehicles or be doing no knock raids for pot and dressing in camo pointing guns at innocent people. These LEOs are pretty much a bunch of ill trained rednecks. IMO |

In the 1st place... The cops don't have tanks.... and those of you that care to remember the drug wars when the cops were outgunned will realize why the cops are armed so heavily now. The problem we have here is they got military style equipment without the training that should have gone with it. It takes military training to be able to use military equipment in a practicable manner. That's why it used to be restricted to the military.. |

Location: fun meter pegged OK | I haven't read all 4 pages, so if it's been said already I'm just repeating it again. I am sick of all the news coverage trying to justify people behaving badly. I'm tired of the POTUS and US AG interjecting race into everything just for political points and now this at the cost of a persons life.
MLK Jr is rolling in his grave. Obama, Holder, New Black Panther Party, ACLU, Sharpton, and Jackson have done more damage to the race relations in this country setting it back decades. Where is the out cry of all the black on black crime/killings in Chicago, NYC, LA, etc frrom these same individuals?
What has happened to the rights of the police officer? What about innocent until proven guilty? How can a Grand Jury be convened before all the evidence is in? What will happen next when a store owner who is protecting his property/way of living because the police can't fires on someone?
How close are we to another civil war?

And protestors shouldn't act like animals so what is your point? How about you join the police and go out in shorts and flip flops and let us know how that works out for you. |

Location: SE Louisiana | I was looking at the autopsy report and had another thought... We know Brown's friend lied about the shot in the back.... Well he also said Brown had his hands in the air when the cop shot him... Yet he was shot 4 times in the right arm... Does anyone really think the cop was shooting at the arm raised in the air? |

 Saint Stacey
| I saw where the cop had a fractured eye socket from the struggle. Last night on the news, a white journalist asked a black male protester if he thought Brown was 100% innocent still given the new facts. The protesters responce? "My people are always innocent no matter what they do". They don't care about the truth. Their minds are already made up. |
