Nice work, Ryan. Its B.S. all the way around. A bunch of barely-trained yahoos with Rambo fetishes. Interesting how Constitiutional Rights go out the window when the police say so.

He also suggested he was wearing an audio recorder. I sure hope so.
Ooooohhh… Is that a lawsuit I smell?

I read ‘somewhere’ the orders the CountyLEOs were following:
"Arrest/detain anybody who
a) looks smarter than you
b) is black and scares you
c) appears to be recording your activity.
“Shoot them if they meet 2 of 3 aforementioned criteria.”

With a fawning Sean Hannity throwing softball leading questions to the police chief. The same Hannity who was fawning over the lawless deadbeat rancher Cliven Bundy a couple of months ago.

This is yet another reason why uniform riot police should have unique id’s displayed. When people think they can act completely anonymously some people will not stop and think about what they are doing
By the same token having generic non specific uniforms - heck you could have some anarchists come in dressed in generic military surplus and really stir the pot

Perhaps QR codes on their chests that go straight to a complaint page?

It will be years and years before Ferguson (and probably St. Louis County too) resolves all the lawsuits growing out of the actions of its police this past week.

The midterm elections just got interesting. What investigations uncover in Ferguson – and I’m guessing it will open up from there – will be coming out just as election season arrives.
We all saw it.

I suspect that my cardiologist would insist that the bulk of McDonald’s products are deadly weapons.

How about a requirement to test police for the use of steroids … I bet this one thing would help quite a bit.

Sue him and sue the entire police department. Apparently the police chief, when the LA Times reporter called him said, “oh god, some guy who doesn’t know better.”
WTF? what kind of training are they giving these yahoos? Apparently none.

I’m sure all these so-called police officers will all enjoy the endless time they will be spending with lawyers, in lengthy depositions and trials. Enjoy fellas!

Doesn’t look like a cop eating a doughnut to me. Where did he get his community relations training? Iraq?

Judge Dredd is now on duty in Ferguson, Mo.
They hired most of them straight from combat duty police forces in the Middle East. No wonder they think it’s OK to shoot a jaywalker in the back while he holds up is hands in submission?
