Thanks for the clarification. Small town IL. here. Low crime, good people. Local sheriff was behind CCL drive in our area. If it weren't for Chicago and Springfield and nasty winters life would be very good.

Mommy better watch out.

A well placed rubber bullet will pop those implants and it looks like they are ready to explode all by themselves

Almost all of the English papers are much superior to ours. Even their tabloids.

Thanks. In reading the local news site comments, I see many Ferguson residents are very angry the report was released along w/video of robbery, because the locals think it only proves police are trying to “make themselves look good”, and other nonsense I can’t even repeat.

Yes, I’ve been noticing that all week, here and other sites as well.

I’m not a huge fan of the police in some cases, but in this one, I think they’ve shown incredible discipline in not doing what they’re accused of doing.

On another note, I was just looking at another thread depicting the officer in charge of Ferguson, pointing a gun at a bunch of motorcycle riders last year in St. Louis.

Ironic that he felt okay about drawing his gun on traffic violators, but not rioters! (as someone else pointed out).

Okay, I get the “FTP” in magic marker. What’s the other stuff scrawled across her “chest”?

So, wherever there are poor folks and fatherless boys/young men, there is trouble.
The blame goes back to "mama" who didn't do it the right way, in the right order: education, job, marriage, children (with the same employed husband/father).

“A number of people on this forum are anti-police.”
___________________________________________________
I do not think it is anti-police. It is anti gestapo.
The good old cop on the beat seems to be morphing into a jack-booted thug.
I noticed it starting before I left the US.
I blame it, in part, on the way police are portrayed on TV and today’s movies.
To Serve and Protect has become swat teams yelling “Get on the ground. Get on the ground NOW.”
