We don’t negotiate with terrorists but our Police Officers are expected to just stand there as some idiot throws a gasoline bomb or fires on them with a concealed weapon.
Police Images Fuel Outrage in St. Louis and Beyond
The images were reminiscent of a war zone: Helmeted officers pointing weapons from armored trucks, flash grenades lighting the night sky and tear gas exploding in crowded streets.
The ugly clashes between police and protesters in this St. Louis suburb fueled a torrent of criticism and raised questions about whether the officers’ tactics were inflaming the same violence they aimed to suppress after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager.
The repeated scenes of police officers wearing military-style camouflage and gas masks and training their rifles on unarmed civilians — some holding their hands up — looked to critics more like an Army trying to quell a revolution than a police department trying to keep the peace in a small suburb.

Strange that the media would actually use a line like this, “looked to critics more like an Army trying to quell a revolution than a police department trying to keep the peace in a small suburb”, thus giving someone like me an opening to launch a TIRADE against the Mainstream Media, their obvious bias against the Police and love for the animals that continue to threaten Ferguson, MO.
Keeping the peace isn’t just a line you use in a news article, it’s not something that can be accomplished with the wave of a hand or a plea from a *Community Organizer*.
Depending on the mentality, mood and mindset of the people involved there are times when gentle persuasion works quite well, but when you’re dealing with a huge, angry MOB of people intent on rioting and destroying property you are sometimes forced to respond with violence of your own if these people refuse to cease and desist in their actions.
SHARON COHEN and ALAN SCHER ZAGIER of the Associated Press criticize the Police for wearing military-style camouflage and gas masks and for training their rifles on unarmed civilians.
Regarding the unarmed civilians; I don’t suppose it ever occurred to these reporters that the *hood rats* can conceal some decent sized guns, and other armaments in those baggy-assed pants they wear.
I would bet HUGE amounts of money on this being a fact; SHARON COHEN and ALAN SCHER ZAGIER have neither one ever had to face down a crowd, much less an angry and violent MOB. Also, how would SHARON COHEN and ALAN SCHER ZAGIER have any idea if the weapons the Police were carrying were indeed trained on some unarmed civilians?
These reporters, SHARON COHEN and ALAN SCHER ZAGIER also cry about the attire worn by the Officers that were attending the RIOT.
What these two ass-nuggets don’t understand is this; the Police were wearing military-style camouflage UNIFORMS because it is their WORK CLOTHES.
You don’t attend a high-brow event in cargo shorts and a golf shirt.
You must dress appropriately for the event you’re attending and your basic daily uniform is NOT what you wear when you go to war, and if you LIBERAL, Police hating ass-nuggets don’t think it’s a WAR that these folks were going to, try joining the Police side of the line and find out for yourselves, 1st hand, what it feels like to have your life threatened for simply *doing your job* as you Liberals and Police haters are so fond of saying.
Molotov Cocktails Thrown at Officers in Ferguson
St. Louis County police spokesman Brian Schellman said officers on Wednesday night tossed tear gas to disperse a large crowd of protesters after some threw Molotov cocktails and rocks at officers. More than 10 people were arrested in Ferguson.
“In talking to these guys, it is scary,” Schellman said of officers on the front lines of the protest. “They hear gunshots going off, and they don’t know where they’re coming from.” SOURCE
It’s probably a good thing I’m not the guy in charge, you see, if I were, and some *hood rat son of a bitch* lit a Molotov like the *hood rats* pictured above are doing, and threw it at me or my guys, my orders would be to open fire with the 240-Bravos and SAW’s.
That particular group of *hood rats* would be lying in a huge pool of blood and would be left there an example of what happens when you try to kill or injure Officers of the Law.
I don’t know what kind of *victim mentality* that would provoke but I imagine they would want some *work boots* when the LIVE ONES had to clean up what was left of the DEAD ones, and clean up the mess they made.
WOW! Sounds like you been there and done that. I don’t mean the shootin, I mean face down an angry mob.
It wasn’t exactly a mob but it was a good sized group of angry folks that just didn’t want to adhere to the letter of the law… We had several shotguns and rifles, large caliber pistols and so forth… They had Saturday Night Specials and an attitude…
We won..
Mob met with force = both sides know they were in a confrontation, and somebody goes home wiser for next time. Hopefully they all go home.
Mob met with daisies and warm cups of cocoa = the Mob wins, the daisy-toting cocoa servers go home in body bags, and the Mob tactics are reinforced for next time.
Japan, early 80s, anti-American-troops-stationed-on-our-island vs. the Marines: yeah, folks, WWII was not a fluke. We still had it. And we were in camo with rifles and helmets …
I am off the mainstream I am sure. (1) I wouldnt be a Police Officer in Ferguson if they paid me $150K per yr. (2) the officer who shot Brown will be repeat will be thrown under the bus regardless of circumstances in the name of “calming the animals down (3) I was one guy holding a sign saying ” I am a man”-no kidding anatomically you are so start acting like one (4) As far as I am concerned it is time for the National Guard-the MO DPS Johnson tried, really tried, but the animals refused to cooperate. (5) If I were a Ferguson Pol Officer, I would have resigned and left already-screw them, let them police their own community (6) I am sick and godamn tired of if your black you get national coverage but if your white you fall into the your not newsworthy category. (7) Al Sharton should be indicted for inciting to riot etc-he is a real a-hole.
I could go on but you get the picture of my feelings on the subject.
So many things out of line with story, witnesses that say the officer (not a large man) reached out his squad window and then grabbed this 6-4 (?) 290 guy by the neck? Doesn’t sound physically possible, huh.
The real question is will we ever get the real facts? And police either refusing or being told to not enforce the law, because it might incite the crowd (been there with that) this political correctness thing will kill our country…that and corrupt pols on both sides of the aisle.
Like I said-Ferguson Officer under the bus-Pol Correctness will not stop this crap-it is time that we woke u-skin color doesnt make a damn bit of difference-it is character and integrity and trying to be a contributing member of society. It is all BS and it will be allowed to go on-
I’ve been around these jungle bunnies when they go off and believe me, it’ll scare the hell out of you, especially, when you’re out numbered about 100 to 1 as I was. I keep my distance from these tribal demons and advise white people, everywhere, to boycott their very existence. I learned along time ago to never relax around a spook and I advise you to do the same. Don’t forget to teach the little kids, too, that these “blacks” are as dangerous as any animal they’ll ever encounter in the wild. It may save their life someday.
Disagree, strongly, with Geo Walker. (1) name make no contribution (2) we should be teaching the young folks that the color of ones skin doesn’t make a difference-it is character, integrity and an understanding of what it takes to be a productive member of society. All the name calling and planning to teach kids does is further divide us-maybe someone ought to look into the “why”-as I said before-Govt is more interested in Politics and getting re-elected than solving the issues facing our society. And, I will ask-why is there no racial bias in France against black folks?
The French already surrendered…
Yeah-they definitely surrendered to the Muslims—anyone thinks Ferguson was a big deal, wait until the sons of Islam start in the USA-Ferguson will be childs play-and bet me they are already here.
As far a Ferguson is concerned-I am sick of hearing about it and the poor disadvantaged people. Did you look at some ot them-would you hire them to work in your business? Oh, forgot-Obama welfare pays more than businesses can pay in wages
