Two Ferguson officers shot as ‘very dangerous environment’ persists

Both sustain serious injuries.

Congratulations, media. Now you’re getting cops shot. Way to go. Jerks.

Two police officers were shot and seriously wounded early Thursday outside the police department in Ferguson, Mo. amid protests that followed the resignation of the town’s police chief.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told a news conference that a 41-year-old officer from St. Louis County was shot in the shoulder at around midnight local time, while a 32-year-old officer from suburban Webster Groves was shot in the face. Both victims were taken to a local hospital. Belmar said both men were conscious, but had no further word about their condition except to describe the injuries as “very serious.”

“I predict more LEO shooting of civilians/dogs/children because of yesterday.


You are pathetic. The cop shooters’ sympathizers must be delighted at comments like yours.

This environment has been wholly MANUFACTURED by the US Attorney General, by the President of the United States, and by their cohorts in the race-baiting industry and the liberal press.

There was no racial incident with the death of the black hood last summer. He was a criminal and even a completely biased Justice Department was forced to admit that the officer did no wrong.

But early on they gen’d up racial hatred and animus and they have stoked those flames ever since...the latest being the potshots at the Ferguson Police Department when they were forced to admit that the officer himself did no wrong.

I believe those who have been stoking these flames, passing on hear-say and out and out lies, and then presenting them to the public as fact, from the President on down, should be held criminally and civilly liable for the injuries that are now resulting.

It is reported that the shots were fired from about 200 yards.

I wouldn't be surprised to find green tip M855 brass at the shooting site. I put NOTHING past the DOJ. We need to find out where Lon Horiuchi was last night. Of course, he would have preferred to shoot a woman cop.

I agree that the entire police dept. should resign en masse.

Set up three hotlines for people to call if they need police:

1. Al Sharpton’s office.

2. Eric Holder’s office

3. Jesse Jackson’s office.

Expect delays.

The left wanted this, more dead cops..I bet they are saddened that these brave officers did not die..they created this environment because they wanted the narrative that all cops are evil and need to be killed..if only the media treated these protestors like they treat the tea party, they would have been called killers by now

Bonus points if she has a baby in her arms when her head gets blown off.

On the nosy! ObozoHolder told MO Gov Nixon-D to restrain the MO National Guard troops that were staged to defend the civic, commercial and public interests in Ferguson last fall/winter. There is of course no record of this, but anybody with a brain knows it happened. Nixon, worthless capon that he is, chose political expediency over actually being the Governor of our state and doing his job. His political career is over. Fast forward to Ferguson now, two resignations from high office because of Holders Justice Department allegations, the public response: Let’s start the cop killing.

This has NOTHING to do with justice and EVERYTHING to do with VENGEANCE and BLOOD LUST. This festering pustule in Ferguson is a symptom of a much larger leprosy infecting the US at the hands of this Regime, its complicit Congress (even with the 2014 Midterm Republican gains) and the media. If we don’t turn back to Christ, individually and collectively as a nation, Satan’s minions the Liberals, DemonRats (remember, they booed Almighty God at their last convention), and Moral Relativists will have to be stopped by force. Civilian Christian patriots will be forced to take up arms against these vermin who once perhaps were our countrymen. This will be Civil War II.

How far and how fast we have fallen since 11 SEP 2001! The demonstrated patriotism and reported widespread re-commitment to Christian prayer for our country and its protection lasted at the most a month. Seven years later we elected a Muslim disguised as a marginal Christian. Carefully planted, groomed and promoted, by a complicit uber-liberal media and Satanic financial forces, (Soros and his ilk), Barry Soetero was foisted onto the national stage as Barack HUSSEIN Obama and Satan’s minions swooned. No experience to speak of, certainly none by comparison to his rival Republicans and no political or media vetting on any level including Citizenship. He was elected. TWICE. Those who did this deserve what he is giving them and what they will eventually get from us which increasingly looks like untimely death.

Realistic.

Obama/Holder regime is simply training LEO for the Us-vs-Them mindset.

And btw...I do not sympathssize with shooting sitting duck LEO, in spite of no-knock swatting, baby-burning & dog killings. Attempted murder is attempted murder, whatever you’re wearing.

You did not capisce my comments. But then, I expect nothing less from knee-jerk blue wall apologists.

I’ll try again, in simplified terms: What better way to get LEO on your side than to make sure they consider themselves victims of the general public & that the GP is your enemy?.

They’re off to a good start, n’est-ce pas?

Clear enough for you?

If their intent is to start a race war, it is probably best to start it when you have control of the forces of your adversary. The adversary being the nature of the United States. The fundamental nature of the United States cannot really be changed without changing its form of government.

* The cops should just walk out. Leave them to their own devices. What an embarrassment to the country. *

This is what Washington and the Racists like Holder and Sharpton want to happen all across America. Then the Feds can come in and take away guns from honest people.

However, if I was a cop in Ferguson, I'd quit. They wouldn't get any replacements.

Note to Honest people in Ferguson:
GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN.
Racist thugs that love Holder: Stay there. You deserve what you get.

Even though a 223 will penetrate a vest at close range, at 200 yards it has lost half its energy and “probably” would not penetrate the vest.
 
It can, and I have. At 200 yards there is still enough velocity/energy to a military-grade round to penetrate and subsequently break up inside to spread catastrophic damage.
 
 
If it did penetrate the vest, the injuries would not be major.
 
The task for any ballistic protection is to STOP a projectile, not slow it. Soft kevlar armor won't even slow a rifle round at common ranges of contact, it'll zip right through, at further ranges of contact and with a reduced incoming velocity, soft armor will even multiply the lethality. When a round is not stopped it gets deformed and then yaws & tumbles in a very nasty way - as it was designed to do - and if it fractures you then have multiple wound tracks inside the body, escalating the damage and likelihood of death. Level II to IIa is the most common sort of armor utilized by LEOs due to comfort and maneuverability and is no match for rifle cartridges and even some HV or large caliber handgun rounds.
