The people posting this drivel, are either completely ignorant, unable to learn anything, or have another agenda. There is a line between the ignorant and the idiots, although at times it can be hard to find. |

Researchers: Police likely provoke protestors — not the other way around New research from Berkeley shows that police are often the agitators of violence I've been on many protests and I can vouch for this. I've always been able to tell when the police have been about to start something, so I've left at that point. Reality Internet Personality |

Researchers: Police likely provoke protestors — not the other way around There are web sites publishing articles claiming that local gang members were paid by the police to act as agents provocateur and start the fires and the looting. I don't know how much credence to give this, but it's not beyond the bounds of possibility. T.A. |

Researchers: Police likely provoke protestors — not the other way around I've heard that too, but I was waiting to see if it turned out to be a fake or not. I know for a fact things like this have happened in the past in the UK, (with undercover police infiltrating political protest groups and then being the ones most likely to start trouble on protests).

Job security to the chief and it makes them look like a leader to the protesters so they are let into the inner circle. It is despicable. |

Another Missouri cop, Michael Pappert, suspended over personal comments made on Facebook. http://www.news.com.au/world/missouri-police-officer-dan-page-im-into-diversity-i-kill-everybody/story-fndir2ev-1227034529974 The police department in Glendale, another St Louis suburb, said on Friday it had suspended one of its officers who had expressed contempt for the Ferguson protesters on his Facebook account. Also Ray Albers, a cop for the St Louis suburb of St Ann, was suspended after pointing a semi automatic assault rifle at Ferguson protesters and using obscene language threatening to kill them. A very sad state of affairs going on over there. :-( Cheers. |

Another Missouri cop, Michael Pappert, suspended over personal comments made on Facebook. And that should be a learning lesson to the young folks who just love social media. You do not need to post every thought that comes to mind. And show pics of you doing doobies while holding a bottle of Jack Daniels half naked. Well stupid is as stupid does. [/quote] Old James |

Tomorrow, Monday August 25, 2014, there will be a "Celebration Of Life" service, for Michael Brown. Let me explain, "Celebration of Life" or "Homecoming" are what we in the black community more commonly call funerals. So please take a moment of silence for him and all of God's children that have died at the hands of Law Enforcement past, present, future; be they black, white, green, pink or purple.

Ive seen plenty of newspaper pictures of cops pointing guns at protesters. Again just adds to my argument that the American military is more disciplined when it comes to firearms than the cops. They know you should NEVER point a gun at anyone unless you intend to pull the trigger. Its basic firearm safety. |

There are many video's on Cable and the Internet showing very bad, perhaps despicable behavior, by the Officer's in that part of the country. In addition to verbal threats to the News Media. My friend, it's not just that part of the country, it's happening in every state and now with social media you will see more of it; mark my words. I don't buy computers, I build them!! |

Apples vs. Oranges. The thing is that in this way, the military is far more effective at de-escalating a situation then the police. People that point guns at you and with their fingers on the trigger are going to get a much more negative response than people walking around with guns pointed at the ground, their safeties on and their fingers not on the trigger. So it seems weird to me that the military follows much stricter rules on how to walk around with their guns than the police. And why would you even need to point a gun to 'threaten' someone who is very clearly unarmed. Its reckless and it violates one of the core principles of safe fire arm use: don't point it at anyone or anything you don't want to hit. Seems that unarmed people would always fall under the category of someone you don't want to hit. |
