Discussion: Lawsuit Accuses Ferguson Cop Of Hog-Tying, Choking A 12-Year-Old Boy

Discussion for article #226802

The Dead Kennedys had this pegged 30 years ago:

The left newspapers might whine a bit
But the guys at the station, they don’t give a shit
Dispatch calls, “Are ya doin’ somethin’ wicked?”
“No siree, Jack, we’re just givin’ tickets!”

First you criticize the cops for using the taser like a “fun gun” and now you don’t want them choking kids. Where is the incentive for cops to go to work anymore?

No surprises here – this shit has been going on since slavery. On reflection, what’s amazing to me personally is that the community was able to keep their anger and frustration contained for so long.

If there’s a silver lining to the death of Michael Brown, it’ll be a systemic change in policing nationwide, and that will take a generation to implement as these old-school bigots are either jailed, fired, or finally retire as circumstances will have it.

Only to be replaced by more of the same, I’m afraid. Policing, especially on the local level, tends to attract people who have a strong need to control others, people who feel powerless and who see a career as a policeman as a way to acquire power. There are certainly many cops of the other variety, those who really just want to serve their communities, but separating the wheat from the chaff is pretty tough.

Lord, so many tiny dicks wearing the same uniform.

Maybe just send the Ferguson PD a case of Cialis?

Or would they just all get taller?

Hmm.

These untrained and unsupervised little white boys are way out of control and need to be removed along with the sheriff and the prosecutor.

This is like the South in the 1950-60’s…Must be stipped…And the roberts conservative activists on the supreme court? think there is no racist problem,Fat chance!!!

Call out the roberts court conservative males…

Satire? Or is that a real quote? I have no problem knowing Hannity thought that but did he say it?

As a guy in the medical Biz I would suggest they stop treating each metastatic lesion in their police force as an isolated event and get to the underlying condition. They have a systemic disease and you don’t those spot by spot.

Right. They need a full protocol of chemo and riadiation

Hog tying a 12 year old…for WHAT? Why did this not hit the headlines? What else is in the shadows?

Maybe amputation is in order.

As long as an invasive procedure is used, it should be tried.

An unnamed officer, believed to be with municipal police, who was recorded approaching a protester with his firearm raised and saying “I will fucking kill you” was removed from duty Wednesday. Then St. Louis County Officer Dan Page, who worked on crowd control at the protests, was suspended Friday after a YouTube video surfaced that showed him disparaging various groups and describing himself as a “killer.”

Removed from duty? Suspended?

What about “fired”?

Nonsense. Just a few bad apples. There’s no such thing as racism, either institutional or individually. It’s just a made-up thing liberals use to stifle honest discussion about the inherent criminality and shiftlessness of Those People.

Besides, its clear that this young Thug brought it on himself. All one has to do is reason back from the end result to imagine what must have happened to cause this. He probably pulled a gun on them or charged them. And I’ll bet he’s larger than a normal 12 year old, so they were in fear for their lives. The safety of the police takes precedence over all, after all. The slightest risk, real or imagined, is a sufficient basis for whatever actions they deem it necessary to take. But it’s clearly the Thug’s fault. I’ll bet he had candy and a soft drink in his possession which he stole from a convenience store, and you know what that means. Yes, that must be what happened. I Just Know it. In fact, I think I’ll go post these important facts being concealed by the liberal media on my favorite conservative website and in the comments at The Hill so the news can be disseminated far and wide.

It doesn’t help that the only folks determining who would be a good hire are all cops as well. Wouldn’t hurt to have normal folks have a say in the hiring process.

Public employees are entitled to Due Process before being terminated. Particularly when they have a powerful union, a thing the private sector cannot have and must be taught to despise.

Yeah, I find a bit of ironic humor in that fact, too.

Or a Black man, Black woman, Black child…
