St Louis police murder scandal (PLUS: riots, idiotic press conferences, etc.)

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Among other things, I think the entire Ferguson Police Department should be sued under the RICO Act.

Does anyone have the most factually accurate version of the story surrounding Michael Brown's death?

I really doubt we ever will.  We've got the word of the dead man's buddy, you've got to take with a grain of salt.  And we'v got the word of the cops, also must take with salt.  There will be some hard evidence that will come out, number of times the man was shot, number of shots fired, direction and distance, etc and they will point towards the validity of one side or the other (or both), but they will only paint part of the picture.  We've got a couple of things that both sides agree on:the men were walking in the street, the cops told them to get out of the street, they didn't, words were exchanged, then a scuffle, but still not a complete picture.


One of the main things I've taken from this and the fat man dying in NYC a couple of weeks ago is that we've got to get some of these pansy ass laws off the books.  Illegal to sell a single cig?  STUPID!  Walking in the street shouldn't be something a cop can hassle you over, walk at your own risk dumbasses.  The cop can suggest you not do that, just like any other wise person would suggest, but it shouldn't be a law.

His buddy wasn't the only witness.

But the police and army are in general a cesspool for far-right white extremists (not just in the US).

That's not true in the US.  The far-right white power guys here hate the govt.

From what I can tell the Ferguson police chief (who is thankfully not in command now), is a far-right white extremist.

Wow, this might actually be more disturbing than the actual shooting.

When are the next elections in this city?

Half of Council in April 2015, the other half in April 2016, the Mayor in April 2017. 3 year terms.

lol April elections. Fck the South, no wonder the entire government down there is white people.

Yeah, you know they go out of their way to have many low turnout elections there.  A lot of California has only 1 general election of any sort every 2 years.

Also it looks like the St. Louis police murdered another black guy yesterday and are already lying about it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/20/kajieme-powell-shooting_n_5696546.html?1408579745&ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000067

I think this could turn into a revolt soon.

It's time to have the Furgueson police department meet the same fate.
