Meet Officer GoF*ckYourself
A police officer in Ferguson pointed his assault rifle at journalists who were streaming the protests, saying “I will fucking kill you”.
When asked his name his reply is “Go fuck yourself”.[su_center_ad]
Someone has decided this deserves a Twitter account.

Sad that this “May” all be based on a bunch of lies…
“A lawyer for Mr. Johnson said that his client was interviewed by the F.B.I. and the St. Louis County police last week for nearly four hours. In that interview, Mr. Johnson admitted that he and Mr. Brown had stolen cigarillos from the store, said the lawyer, Freeman R. Bosley Jr.”
“However, law enforcement officials say witnesses and forensic analysis have shown that Officer Wilson did sustain an injury during the struggle in the car.”
“It was something strange,” said Mr. Brady, 32, a janitor. “Something was not right. It was some kind of altercation. I can’t say whether he was punching the officer or whatever. But something was going on in that window, and it didn’t look right.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/20/us/shooting-accounts-differ-as-holder-schedules-visit.html?ref=us&_r=0
And if this story should prove true…
NW10 August 20th, 2014 at 11:07 am
If there was an altercation, FPD would’ve plastered Officer Wilson’s mug all over the media by now, that’s the bottom line. This altercation allegation all originated with Jim Hoft, who is properly known as the dumbest man on the Internet. Nothing he has reported is true. As I posted to you multiple times yesterday, quit listening to the crap from the right wing media and use your common sense.
Pistol-Packing August 20th, 2014 at 11:08 am
Please tell me how the New York Slimes is right wing media, especially coming from Frances Robles.
NW10 August 20th, 2014 at 11:11 am
I was talking about the media pulling everything and everything out of their asses to justify Officer Wilson killing an unarmed black kid, which includes the alleged eye injury. Preliminary autopsy doesn’t support such an allegation, not to mention the video of Wilson walking around Brown’s dead body and the fact that in the video, Wilson doesn’t seem to be in any pain whatsoever.
Again, quit falling for the BS this right wing media keeps lobbing at you. Use your common sense. If Wilson suffered some sort of eye injury, he wouldn’t be able to shoot straight, would’ve been taken to a hospital and would still be there, depending on the injury. These types of injuries you don’t just recover from within a matter of days, especially the one that has been alleged by Jim Hoft and other right wing think tanks.
Pistol-Packing August 20th, 2014 at 11:18 am
In case you have not noticed, most media outlets are left leaning to begin with.
Now, lets use some common sense, considering you want to throw that out there. It was said that the officer fired his gun when Brown was running and missed. and after Brown had turned around, (Details are disputed) but the officer fired at least 6 more times at close range which most shots hit him in the arm. Yeah, sounds to me like he was not shooting to straight at that point.
The video of Wilson walking around browns body is to far away, how would you ever see any emotion if any. You also forget to take into account adrenaline rush.
How about you start using some common sense.
NW10 August 20th, 2014 at 11:47 am
The video of Wilson walking around browns body is to far away, how would you ever see any emotion if any.
I’ve had dust caught in my eye multiple times before. When that happens, I focus on getting it out, ignoring anything else around me. You apparently don’t know nor understand the scope of eye injuries. I’ve read a progressive from Twitter who got into a car crash, sustained two black eye fractures and couldn’t even remember her name. Any eye injury is serious, and if Officer Wilson did sustain any such injury, it would’ve been seen on the video. He would’ve been seen clutching his eye, and an ambulance would’ve been called.
You also forget to take into account adrenaline rush.
This isn’t The Expendables or any other action movie where the hero can sustain any type of injury and still kill 10-20 enemies, nor is it Call of Duty where you can get shot four-five times, your screen blurs, and you hide behind a wall to heal up, this is real life. Any sort of eye injury will cause immense and unbearable pain, which will override any “adrenaline rush.”
Yet you’re the one accusing me of not using common sense, you’re the one falling for BS seen only in the movies and video games. Show me any instance in which someone sustained a serious eye injury, yet because of an adrenaline rush, was still able to shoot six shots into a person, and two fatal head shots. I’ll be waiting.
Pistol-Packing August 20th, 2014 at 1:16 pm
You really are an idiot and have a total lack of comprehension.. And honestly not worth wasting my time over. But here, let me educate you
First: You are in a life or death situation, or a fight of some kind. the first thing you are going to do, is neutralize any threat against you. Dont think for a moment any differently.
Second) do not under estimate the power of adrenaline. Ask any combat veteran who has been in a fire fight or for that matter wounded in one.
Third) How many fighters in boxing MMA suffer from broken facial bones, but yet you do not see them clutched over. Just because you are in pain, does not mean you are incapacitated.
Fourth) By witness account, wilson was 6-7 feet away when he fired his weapon. Mike Brown was a a 6’3″ – 290 pound man standing in front of you. that makes for a very LARGE target. It is not that difficult. Now ask yourself, because apparently you are not a shooter or you would have known this. Was the eye injured his blind eye or his shooters eye?? If he is Right eye dominate and aims with his right eye. And chances are brown injured his left eye with a right handed punch. That would leave his dominate eye to aim with.
Fifth) As far as being able to shoot him 6 times to include 2 head shots. At such a range of 6-7 feet. While rapid shooting, even taking into account muzzle climb. is completely feasible and is easily understandable.
So do the rest of us a favor, go get the dust out of your eyes, and get some common sense about the real world. I am finished with you at this point.
Republicans_are_Evil August 20th, 2014 at 2:05 pm

NW10 August 20th, 2014 at 3:37 pm
First: You are in a life or death situation, or a fight of some kind.
the first thing you are going to do, is neutralize any threat against
you
How is an unarmed black kid “a threat?”
Second) do not under estimate the power of adrenaline. Ask any combat
veteran who has been in a fire fight or for that matter wounded in one.
What war zone were Michael Brown and Officer Wilson fighting in? Oh yeah, the mean streets of Ferguson, MO. Apparently just as dangerous as Baghdad!
Third) How many fighters in boxing MMA suffer from broken facial bones, but yet you do not see them clutched over.
Again, this wasn’t a boxing match. If Michael Brown did punch Officer Wilson in the eye, the preliminary autopsy would’ve reflected as such. Dr. Baden even stated that there was no signs of a struggle, and I’ll take his word over yours.
Was the eye injured his blind eye or his shooters eye??
And again you demonstrate your complete ignorance regarding eye injuries. Any sort of eye injury, esp. an orbital eye fracture will swell that eye shut, and you won’t be able to see. PERIOD. Look it up. If Wilson suffered any sort of eye injury, esp. an orbital fracture, he wouldn’t be able to see properly, let alone shoot six accurate shots and two head shots.
You’re finished, indeed. What you just posted was more fantasy out of video games and movies, and nothing remotely realistic. You’re flailing, and you’re taking it out on me because I choose to live in reality, and you choose to live in the wingnut fantasy world in which all black people are somehow dangerous when doped up on marijuana and have superpowers not known to man. Enjoy living in Dumbfuckistan.
Pistol-Packing August 20th, 2014 at 6:40 pm
And I repeat… How would you know he was unarmed ??? It is a question that you cannot answer. Nor could Officer Wilson. So lets go back to that Common sense thing that continues to elude you.
You are an officer and you were just assaulted. What do you do?
NW10 August 20th, 2014 at 6:52 pm
You are an officer and you were just assaulted. What do you do?
If I was a police officer and was just assaulted, I’d utilize my taser/mase. I would NOT go for my gun, unless I felt that Michael Brown posseed a serious threat to myself and the public at large.
What happened to Michael Brown was murder, and with FPD even admitting that Wilson was shooting at Brown’s back as he ran, even less justified. When Brown turned to surrender with his hands up, that’s when Wilson should’ve brought out the cuffs, and not fire a whole bunch of shots that eventually killed him.
Pistol-Packing August 20th, 2014 at 7:03 pm
You certainly display your ignorance very well…
A person who just assaulted an officer is serious threat to the public.
Not all officers are armed with taser’s, and mace is only good for close range. And now comes the question?? Did he have his hands up to surrender?? Were they partially up?? Did he charge?? Did he stop, turn around and shout, “What, are you going to shoot me” prior to possibly making an aggressive threat??
tiredoftea August 20th, 2014 at 11:51 am
“In case you have not noticed, most media outlets are left leaning to begin with.” This is the fringe right’s unsubstantiated charge that justified the creation of Fox and the echo chamber of right wing attacks on journalism.

Walking around a fresh kill to guard it against ‘outsiders’ until the klan arrives for the feast is a social predators basic instinct (uncontrollable basic instinct behavior). The white male with Florida licenses reacted in the exact same manner, however in that case, he being just a ‘make believe’ klan member, the response time was a lot faster.

Yes, four or five hours. They didn’t turn the body over to search for a weapon, because they knew he wasn’t armed.
R.J. Carter August 20th, 2014 at 2:26 pm
I’ve heard that as well, which also makes no sense. An ambulance should have been dispatched as soon as it was called in.
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 3:02 pm
I have to wonder if they weren’t trying to find a way to avoid having the body going to the medical examiner. He was finally covered with a sheet when a supervisor got there. No respect for the corpse reflects how they felt about him when he was alive, IMO.

NBC is owned by Comcast. ABC is owned by Disney. CBS is owned (mostly) by Sumner Redstone, hardly a liberal. Even if those organizations did lean left, and I don’t believe they do, Rupert Murdoch and FOX NEWS leans far enough to the right to more than counter balance all of them put together. And then there’s Premiere Broadcasting which owns radio. Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Shawn Hannity and Mike Huckabee expel more hot air in a day than all the rest of the media combined.

“…Officer Wilson did sustain an injury during the struggle in the car.” That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. A struggle in the car and then…… what? How did the victim get shot 6 times including twice in the head? And his body then was on the street for 5 hours. That makes no sense. It’s true we don’t know the whole story and I have a feeling we may never know. But you don’t, basically, execute a suspect by shooting him 6 times dead even if he takes a swing or punch at you. That’s the basic point. There are other ways to contain the situation besides killing someone who may have been a shoplifter. This just wasn’t handled right from what is known.
Epiphany August 20th, 2014 at 11:37 am
By the way, this original post is about Officer “GoF*ckYourself”. An officer who threatened a reporter who was streaming the protest with a nice hefty gun because obviously the officer was losing it big time. Just to remind you. We could have had another death right there.

How long did he stay in the car to collect himself? Long enough for Brown to walk 35 feet away? Or do you think he would have stayed there in an incapacitated state until the ambulance showed up? (I’ve already heard from someone who had this similar injury when he served in the army.)

ChrisVosburg August 20th, 2014 at 1:21 pm
Yeah, about that. I don’t know exactly what the policy of the Ferguson PD is on this, but typically police officers in this country are forbidden to shoot at citizens who are simply running away from them. Chase, tackle, etc., sure, but simply banging away at ’em with your sidearm is not allowed. Could injure bystanders too.
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 1:23 pm
I would have thought so, too. But I read somewhere that Missouri has a law that says an officer CAN shoot at somebody running away if they have committed a felony. I think that’s why Wilson claims Brown tried to get his gun, so he could justify chasing him down.
ChrisVosburg August 20th, 2014 at 2:04 pm

mea_mark August 20th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
Then the officer should not of been shooting since his bullets could of gone and hit something causing damage or bodily harm to someone he didn’t mean to aim his gun at.
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Yes, and at least one bullet is known to have struck an apartment building. The cops retrieved it, possibly before even removing the body from the pavement.
ChrisVosburg August 20th, 2014 at 1:55 pm
Yeah, about that “orbital lobe blowout fracture.” This claim comes to us from Stupidest Man on the Internet and Buckeye Newshawk Award Winner Jim Hoft, and like most things Hoft brings, is unsourced and uncorroborated.
This, in and of itself, ought to be enough to discard the claim wholesale, but I’d also make the observation that that there’s no way in hell this information, if true, would not have been loudly trumpeted by the Ferguson PD at the first opportunity, as they sought so diligently to generate sympathy for Officer Wilson. and antipathy to Michael Brown.
Incidentally, a google of “orbital lobe blowout fracture” produces no results, so this may not, in fact, be a thing.
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 2:11 pm
I agree, if it had been true, the medical report and x-ray from the hospital would be all over the news. You have to have an x-ray to make a diagnosis. So I call bullshit.
According to Wiki, the “blowout” part was coined in 1957. I Googled “orbital lobe fracture”, and Wiki was the only source that used the term “blowout”. I suspect current physicians do not use that term, at least not in the literature.
ChrisVosburg August 20th, 2014 at 2:26 pm
Hoft uses the term “Orbital Blowout Fracture,” which is a thing.
In a typically Hoftian bit of dickishness, Hoft posted a picture at his (hell no, not providing a link) site of said orbital blowout fracture, taking care to redact the text “University of Iowa” in the lower left corner of the image, lest his readers get the idea that this was not an actual CT scan of Officer Wilson.
Dick!
R.J. Carter August 20th, 2014 at 2:30 pm
If you want to ping me for typing ‘lobe’ incorrectly, go ahead. However, stating you get “no results” is demonstrably false, and in fact still pulls up immediately images and references to the “thing” being referenced.
ChrisVosburg August 20th, 2014 at 2:45 pm
Sorry, I should have been more clear that I put quote marks on the search term, like so: “orbital lobe blowout fracture”
You’ll note that if you do so, Google responds with

Angela Monger August 20th, 2014 at 12:37 pm
If all of this proves true, then the Ferguson police department handled this whole situation in a very unprofessional manner and the chief of police needs to be replaced. The whole department may need to be replaced. As it is, they have given the appearance of a character assassination on the dead young man and they have worked hard to make it look like they are making up shit as they go along. You may as well admit to that now. That if any of this is true, they have worked overtime to make themselves look like assholes.
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 1:54 pm
There is a lot of bad history with that chief of police. His actions regarding this shooting have been reprehensible: 1) refusing to name Wilson for 5 days, 2) lying to the press to say Wilson was looking for the robbery suspect when he encountered Brown and Johnson, 3) putting out the video with “reports” about the “robbery” at the same time he named Wilson, 4) refusing to say how many times Brown was shot. But worst of all was sending the officers to the first night of protests wearing camouflage and putting cops on the MRAP with sniper rifles pointed at the crowd. He is an idiot who is used to doing whatever the hell he pleases.
Angela Monger August 20th, 2014 at 2:10 pm

I don’t t hink they are knowingly making shit up at this time. They are rapidly spinning in order to blame the victim. All cops do it it comes naturally.
The fact is, they always get away with killing young black men in this country. They’ll just lie about it – and wait until the problem goes away. Time takes care of a lot.

it proves the officer responded in a personal violent attack on an unarmed teen with deadly force AFTER he was in a safe zone and continued the attack AFTER there was no threat whatsoever to him. But, enough of your rumor mongering Horsesh*t like in the murder of an innocent black child by a Florida licenses white male. This ‘officer’ was in an infinitely less threatened situation than those in Nevada during the FAILED WHITE REPUBLICAN REVOLT by heavily armed WHITE TERRORIST THUGS.
R.J. Carter August 20th, 2014 at 12:47 pm
Ohhhhh… I got almost all the way through reading your post and was wondering, “Where’s the ALLCAPS rage against the white man?” And then, there it was. Phew. The world is back on its axis.

You forgot OLD white man.

Jeez, calm down, granpa.
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:27 pm
…and your point is?
He executed an unarmed black teen.
A teen who was seen running away from him initially.
A teen whose hands were up.
If you can’t control your adrenalin, you have no biz being a cop.
Pistol-Packing August 20th, 2014 at 6:44 pm
Hmmmm, Such a strong word. EXECUTED…
Hmmmm Witnesses are split if his hands were up or not and as to what level.
Hmmmm “IF” Officer testimony is correct and there is medical evidence of his injuries. He was running away after just “ASSAULTING” an officer..
See, I can use strong words to.
Epiphany August 20th, 2014 at 11:04 am
I’m sure it’s very stressful for the cops out there while all of the protests have been going on for many days. But that’s just the point. If you can’t handle the stress you have no right to be a cop. This one was just itching to do some damage to someone, anyone. I wonder if his superior will give him a small lecture. I doubt it. And then there’s his “name”. He can’t be identified that way. Someone should show this video to someone besides us. And I’m guessing he’s not the only cop who is losing it. There was also Don Lemon’s (CNN) producer who heard another officer use the N word towards the protesters. It feels like the country with so many bad situations going on is having a nervous breakdown. Depressing.

Under state criminal codes, which vary by state, it is an offense to
knowingly utter or convey a threat to cause death or bodily harm to any
person. Why isn’t Officer Gofuckyourself in jail?

Why isn’t Officer Gofuckyourself in jail?
I’ve been asking the same question of Darren Wilson. There is enough probable cause to arrest him, conviction is another story.
granpa.usthai August 20th, 2014 at 1:00 pm
Officers and WHITE TERRORIST THUGS (ref. Nevada) acting in what they consider to be their ‘lawful’ duty are allowed to point loaded weapons at those they consider to be their enemy. Much like the laws of the 3rd Reich where the Armed soldiers could do no wrong against unarmed citizens. While there are no such laws in writing, it’s generally accepted by most WHITE REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS as being legal enough for the moment.
crc3 August 20th, 2014 at 1:28 pm
Sadly Wilson may not even be indicted much less arrested. Maybe he should hang out with George Zimmerman and they can organize their own “police force”. I’m sure there are more than enough white supremacists out there willing to sign up..
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:24 pm
Because he is a fat old white cop?
Republicans_are_Evil August 20th, 2014 at 12:51 pm
This is domestic terrorism.
granpa.usthai August 20th, 2014 at 2:06 pm
not if Officer ‘GO FUCK YOURSELF’ considers it to be his ‘lawful’ duty. Nobody can say for sure that one of the camera crew or even the reporter themselves are not secret members of an underground sleeper terrorist organization? Slow moving protesters in a peaceful assembly could be a cover up for secret sleeper terrorist attack with WMD’s.
Officer ‘GO FUCK YOURSELF’ of the fine city of FERGUSON, Missouri should be saluted for his bravery and dedication of what he considers to be his lawful duties. (killing ‘fucking media people’). After all, some of the Foxx reporters do “look” like they could be possible terrorist sympathizers, unknowingly of course – but why take any chances?
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:24 pm
Perhaps they will give him a commendation???

there have been ongoing rumors of missing Russian made luggage in the USA since the mid 80’s (back when POTUS Reagan was using US Military Cargo planes to smuggles in cocaine to fund personal military adventures at TAXPAYER expense). You’d think with all the advanced technology available today, they’d be able to locate missing luggage, but, alas, the rumors still persist.
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:37 pm
United Airlines can’t find it when they lose it .. nothing new here.
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 12:59 pm
I hope the journalist brings charges against Officer Go-Fuck-Yourself. He was so far out of control that another officer had to grab him?! And I believe Wilson was that enraged when he ran after Brown, shooting.
granpa.usthai August 20th, 2014 at 1:16 pm
latest complaints I’ve heard from citizens of Ferguson who are trying to obey the ever changing ORDERS of their friendly WHITE police force is they must keep moving in order to have a ‘legal’ assembly to voice their complaints and now they need to keep moving at a faster pace!
another funny difference between the heavily armed WHITE RACIST TERRORIST THUGS assembly in Nevada. I recall one photo of a Nazi Africa Korps Kapped Kowboy in a prone shooting position sighted in on a group of US Citizens? He didn’t appear to be moving along at all, much less at a pace considered to be ‘legal’ by FPD?
Different laws for different assemblies by different racial Anglo-Americans is not separate but equal by any stretch of the Constitution, even if approved by a WHITE RACIST Supreme Court. I’m of the opinion that most of the worlds population will agree, and invite them to encourage their governments to lodge formal protest of extremely overt RACIST favoritism of WHITE Anglo-Americans by the Government of the United States of America.
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:23 pm
But the cops in Vegas were white too. Old White Man Mormon was surrounded by Young White Militia and Patriots.
crc3 August 20th, 2014 at 1:16 pm
I wonder how many witnesses have actually been interviewed by both the Feds and local authorities. I’m willing to bet most of the accounts differ in some way or another. Currently I don’t see things turning out too well for Brown’s family. Instead I see a possible cover up or white washing of evidence and many witness accounts discarded or ignored. Hope I’m wrong but…
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 1:20 pm
I think when witnesses give EXACTLY the same accounts, that it is suspicious. Sadly, I agree with you. I believe the cover up began the minute Wilson finished shooting Brown.
Skip Patterson August 20th, 2014 at 2:45 pm
Yeah eywitnesses are really not the best evidence as the memory starts failing pretty quickly.
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:22 pm
Not always true tho….robbing a store is one thing, watching a cop execute a neighbor in the street may very well burn itself into the old brain. Which is why video is important and I believe the cops confiscated the cell phones of the witnesses.
OOPS.
ChrisVosburg August 20th, 2014 at 5:06 pm
Exactly true. It’s common in criminology classes to illustrate the subjective nature of witness testimony by staging an event in the classroom where someone rushes into the room, grabs up a book or other object and rushes out. Students are then directed to describe in essay form what happened– what did he look like, how was he dressed, what did he take?
Invariably, no two accounts agree.
granpa.usthai August 20th, 2014 at 1:22 pm
I think you’re looking at the reality,crc3. If they can’t coerce witnesses into sustaining FPD’s cover up, they’ll just ignore it and start spewing out ‘we are all together’ Nazi style propaganda Horsesh*t as usual.
Jake August 20th, 2014 at 1:35 pm
My how he has aged:
granpa.usthai August 20th, 2014 at 1:46 pm
peaceful assemblies where the protesters are not moving along “FAST ENOUGH” to be legal for the present does tend to accelerate the aging process, but somehow I get the feeling that Officer ‘GO FUCK YOURSELF’ would enjoy his job more if he could ‘fucking kill media people’ legally?
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:32 pm
You forgot that part of the Constitution, the part where cops are allowed to infringe on people’s right to gather and protest. It only pertains to white men. Everyone else must continue to walk .. Constitutional rights do not apply especially to the “blahs”.

granpa.usthai August 20th, 2014 at 1:42 pm
one sure way for Officer ‘GO FUCK YOURSELF’ to start legally ‘fucking kill media people’ would be for somebody to put a bullet in the back of George Zimmerman’s head. Doesn’t really matter if it’s a ‘revenge’ killing, legal execution on orders of the New Black Panthers Party, or a demented White Cop like Officer ‘GO FUCK YOURSELF’ of the Ferguson, Missouri PD. Would make a nice Horsesh*t excuse for the WHITE RACIST TERRORIST THUGS to ride into St. Louie hooping and a hollering with guns a blazing without any ‘real’ laws being broken.?

These deranged cops are so trapped in their insular world of invincibility & no consequences that they can’t or won’t even comprehend that everything they do is being caught on camera and being televised by all kinds of media so that the whole world can see just what inhumane, militaristic thugs they are.
Unbelievable
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
True. Sadly, when this is over they will continue to be thugs and do things the way they have always done things. I hope the citizens of Ferguson will VOTE when it’s time to elect a new mayor. I believe a mayor can fire the chief of police and implement new policies/standards. I can’t see it changing any other way.
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:18 pm

Obvious point:
Can you imagine how these fine professionals treat black people when the world’s media isn’t watching?
=
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 4:10 pm
Yes! They treat them exactly the way the cops treated Brown’s corpse when it was just out there, on the pavement. That body was a problem, somehow, and they couldn’t decide what to do with the BODY. Why? They talked and they paced, but they must have been reluctant to allow that body to be taken to a medical examiner’s office. So they stalled and stalled.
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:16 pm
That really made no sense. Leaving the body in the street to rot wouldn’t have changed the number of wounds or the bullet’s trajectories.
No one said these thugs were smart. Bullies yes, smart .. no.
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 5:54 pm
I agree. I have not seen an attempt at an explanation from anyone who are supporting Wilson and the FPD. A LOT of things they did made no sense, like postponing naming the officer who shot Brown. They couldn’t hide it forever. And the NUMBER of shots fired was not going to change, but they refused to say it. They definitely were NOT smart. Sadly, they will still probably get away with it, because the system is skewed, and the Blacks are screwed.
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:59 pm
And one of the very first things they DID say was that all the cartridges came from the cop’s weapon.
The inconsistency is stunning ..
But it’s going to work . Officer GoFuckYourself will be back protecting the citizenry as will Officer ShootYouDead very soon.
LawMom3 August 20th, 2014 at 7:00 pm
The system and black people would be less screwed if they would just get out and vote in every single election. Ferguson’s black community has a shameful 12% turnout in voting. Walking around at night taunting racist cops may be fun, but for real change people need to get off their butts and exercise their franchise.
Yenta August 20th, 2014 at 7:06 pm
Of course, that’s true. But if you have decades of evidence that convince you that your voice will never be heard, then you might be convinced that your vote doesn’t matter. If you don’t understand the history, you should not pass judgement on the people in that city. Getting Black people to realize they have a voice if they all come out and vote is a fairly new prospect. You sound judgemental, without understanding the history of the people who live in Ferguson. Maybe you should do a little more reading, and a little more research about St. Louis and the county where Ferguson is located.
BanditBasheert August 20th, 2014 at 5:15 pm
