I wish him & the town the best of luck. The tone alone sets him apart.

THIS IS WHAT A COP SHOULD LOOK LIKE: smart, caring, competent, tough, unafraid.
And every single police officer, no matter which department, on the streets in Ferguson for the past three nights should face subpoena and investigation, under oath, or lose his job. Anybody found guilty of civil or criminal misconduct should GO TO JAIL.

Quite a striking change. Looking at the pictures, there just seems something…different… about Cpt. Johnson compared to the town and county police in charge earlier. Can’t quite put my finger on it…

Thank God an actual policeman is in charge now.

but it’s more than that - this is the conduct of a reasonable, honorable, well-trained officer. Better late than never (Please excuse my use of a tired cliche.)

See? Treat folks with a little dignity and guess what? That’s what you get back. I hope passions are not so high that this falls apart. This guy is way more sensible than the cracker who’s in charge of the Ferguson PD

Hell of a week. Like a time machine whisked us back to 1963.
Glad to be back… for now.

The contrast is stark, almost ghastly given the choices the county police could have made. The country will be paying out tens of millions of dollars for this, money they likely do not have. Time to sell of the heavy arms.

More like officer Johnson, and fewer that are living out war game fantasies.

No, it’s totally appropriate. I’m still floored by the mayor backing the morons in charge before. Just glad a professional is in charge now and not some paramilitary wannabe.

Do the police know a Black man is talking to agitators? Why aren’t they arresting him? As white people we have a right to know.
