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.”

Dangerous Environment.

It started with the Rodney King beating. Then Zimmerman, then Ferguson, etc.

But notice they get closer and closer together. exponentially so. And it will not get “better”. It will reach critical mass. Don’t ask me what that leads to, but I don’t think it will be good for a lot of people. The real question is, who will be those people?

For me, the whole FPD should follow in the Chiefs foot steps and resign. Let the state troopers or Mo. National Guard take over their duties. Or, sad to say for all the law abiding folks in Ferguson, let ‘er burn.

I blame Obama, Sharpton, Holder for getting these officers shot. It is so obvious.

In Obama and Holder’s view, its a small price to pay

You can’t make an omlette without breaking some eggs, and you can’t create a useful, radicalized political movement without some cops getting shot.

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

"People in Ferguson are angry, protesting and now firing guns at police officers .."

sorry, Canadian free press, your assumption is wrong here. I don't believe the citizens are responsible for this. They aren't the ones looking for more trouble in their town. This is the outside agitators that Holder brought in. Frankly I would've expected the Canadian Free Press to know that.

It is leading to exactly the place the PTB want it to lead to, a National police force. As the US Justice Dept sets guidelines, hires and fires police chiefs at will, we will end up with something like a “Gestapo”. Time will tell if it is used in a manner reminiscent of the Nazi’s but centralized power has a history. We used to know this as a people and a nation, but no longer are the wiser people among us still alive. That is the method used making homosexuality celebrated, instead of reviled. They push and push until the younger generations are brainwashed, and the older people die off. It is called being on the wrong side of history, haven’t you heard?

The racist separatist bastards in the white house got their way. They have turned their constituents against legitimate police forces.
They have given the folks permission to blame their self-inflicted pathologies on Whitey, especially Police-Whitey.

I found this image on the web, knowing that Manson had predicted a race war. The energy has been bought off with increasing racial set asides and other benefits for years. That time is ending. Now we have people who are exciting the situation without any good reason.

Racial leaders must step up NOW to calm this situation. If they delay this effort, they are aiding it.

It is reported that the shots were fired from about 200 yards. One was a shoulder shot and the other hit the other officer in the neck.

The officers were wearing vests. This shows a level of sophistication by the shooter, if we make the assumption that he was using a 223 cartridge. He was going for a head shot, that is a kill shot. 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. If it did penetrate the vest, the injuries would not be major.

If the shooter was using something like a 30:06 or a 308 the logical target would be center of mass. It would penetrate and cause devastating injury and possible death.

Of course this was planned.

The cops will not walk away from their paychecks.

Instead, they will step up “law enforcement”, for their fallen friends.

The margin of error, or doubt, is getting smaller. I predict more LEO shooting of civilians/dogs/children because of yesterday.

And its exactly how Obama & Holder planned it.

The Ferguson police department is done. They will disband it and then contract with St. Louis County Sheriff's department to run the whole show. Most of the officers that want to stay will probably just move over to the Sheriff's department.

Frankly I think the police should just stop enforcing the law in black neighborhoods. No arrests for any crime by any black person in a black neighborhood. Just let the people who live there deal with the fallout from their idiocy.

Ferguson: A Murderous Mob Incited by Holder and Obama

By Joel Pollak

Breitbart March 12, 2015

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/12/a-murderous-mob-incited-by-holder-and-obama/

”It was not enough that the chief of police had just resigned. It was not enough that a local judge had quit. It was not enough that the Department of Justice had exonerated former officer Darren Wilson. No–the mob, told by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder that Ferguson was still guilty of racism, wanted ‘justice.’ ”

Obama and Holder have been inciting racial violence since the very beginning of Obama’s presidency. This is the most racist president in the history of U.S.

After expending hundreds of thousands dollars trying to condemn Officer Darren Wilson, the “Justice” department had to exonerated the police officer of all the false charges that the race pimps tried to input on him. Will Obama apologize to Darren Wilson for his public character assassination of Mr. Wilson because he fulfilled his duty of defending the city from the attacks of criminal thugs?“>

I think it more likely that cops will lose interest in classifying the death of an inner city black person as anything other than "self defense", or in investigating it at all if the shooter is unknown.

I think it would make sense to just classify them as "natural causes".

Every one of the cops should resign and leave the city to the feral animals. If they can’t fire before they’re fired upon, why even show up. Resign. Go somewhere else.
