I think those above photos are the Sheriff department, IIRC. Edit: Also, Furgeson police cars, in 2014, still do not have on-board cameras. No dash-cams. In 2014. Chinatown fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Aug 13, 2014 |

evilweasel posted:It's also really heartening that there seems to be a surprisingly broad consensus for rolling back police militarization as a result of this: I think there's a good chance that the 1033 program get significantly pulled back as a result of this. The amazing difference in responses that militarized tactics vs. good tactics got is basically impossible to deny. Changing the culture of the police in the US is the real hard part though. All the equipment doesn't matter unless you have a culture that promotes aggressiveness, lack of critical thinking skills, no community interaction, and a "shootfirst, ask questions later" mentality that appears to be standard operating procedure now.

Ramadu posted:That isn't the narrative, thats the facts about what happened. This. And its unfortunate that the situation, or at lease the "news narration" has spiraled away from these facts and onto the effects of it. The looting/violence needs to be reported but I hope (heh) that the aim of the media will remain that a young black teenager was essentially murdered in broad daylight. nebby posted:Facts based upon what evidence? Honest question, the only evidence I've seen cited thusfar are witness testimony (I do not know who the witnesses are.) Would love to see the figure of the number of people serving murder convictions based on pure eye witness testimony (aka, highly unreliable) Gonna go with "tons".

So he now doubled back towards the cop, with his hand up, saying "dont shoot" while charging him.... or whatever? Or he didn't put his hands up and surrendered? Or.....? Round-N-Round we go.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Is this even remotely legit? The story sounds like BS if it is really him. No one would turn and taunt a police officer that was shooting at them... The police chief stated multiple times that the officer didn't know about the robbery when the shooting occurred so i am calling bullshit Its fake and the idea that someone made that is insane.

Anyone who thinks its bad now is going to be in for a surprise whenever officials get around to stating that the officer won't be charged. IMO poo poo in Furgeson/St Louis will go full on nuts at that time.

quote:"Given these deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent attacks on lives and property in Ferguson, I am directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard ... in restoring peace and order to this community," The interesting thing about this quote from Nixon is that at first I thought they were referring to the police.
