Michael Brown, assuming current interpretations of security footage are correct, robbed and bullied a store clerk right before he was killed by police. That may well mean he was violent and dangerous, but even violent people should be brought to trial, not gunned down.
Michael Brown had assaulted a policeman and was trying to continue the assault when the injured officer shot him in self-defense.
The militarization of the police is a real, growing threat to America. However: Brown's death was a good shoot.
I guess folks should be thankful that Homeland Security hasn’t rolled in with their MRAPs and heavy weapons—Could be a lot nastier.
Could also be very telling.
At WRSA they have a photo of the usual white scumbag commies clamoring for more government and on the other side the riot police, funny as hell. But here is what we get anarcho-tyranny having the likes of an urban underclass and the solution we clamor for basically the 82Abn lightweight division with badges to protect and serve the sh*t out of us.
Stossel wrote this? shame.
Did a militarized police officer shoot Thug Brown?
There was going to be a riot no matter what the cops rolled up in afterward. I don’t recall seeing military gear in the Rodney King riots.
Tear gas is suddenly military hardware? Cops have been using tear gas for decades to deal with riots.
If anything the media giving these animals sympathetic worldwide recognition/coverage has fueled the fire more than anything else.
I’ve been in training and haven’t been listening as much to radio or posting/reading here. So my observations may be cliche.
What it is that I see is a distinct demographic responsible for the civil disturbances while just having received a week ago the most current warning from DHS about sovereign citizens and conservatives being a danger to the country.
I find that to be completely under-analyzed in media.
I hope it’s been analyzed here.
IMHO, the militarization of the police is a distraction (a symptom) from the real problems...makes good news, but doesn’t solve anything or get discussion toward that end either.
If the claim had been made prior, credit where credit is due.
Our little lefty friends are playing everyone for the fool.
First we were told by Obama he wanted a civilian force as well armed as the military.
Then Obama arms up civilian police forces with mil equipment.
Then we have an incident and the mill equipment is displayed but not USED against people.
Then Obama and the dems go on the record condemning the militarization of police. The militarization of police wasn’t a problem in Boston because it wasn’t displayed/used against any particular racial group.
This tells you our little lefty friends have something much bigger planned where not only will the mil equipment be displayed but it will have to be USED against people of a particular racial group and the dems are on record of condemning the militarization of police.
I’m going to go out on a limb and take a guess what is planned.
Upwards of 1 million Hispanics and illegals will protest in Dallas, Texas and the “peaceful” protest will turn violent.
With 5% to 10% of 1 million “peaceful” protestors turning violent, the only way to stop them will be to USE the mil equipment which our fearless leader and the rest of the dems are on the record condemning.
I guessing Texas as a good place for their plan because the dems are really going out on a limb trying to make it appear as if Texas is run by a bunch of republican criminals.
