Two Cops In Ferguson Shot

[whell]

When the Justice Department decides to throw gasoline on a fire, I guess this result shouldn't be too surprising.

(Reuters) - Two police officers were shot during a protest outside Ferguson, Missouri, police headquarters early on Thursday, police said, just hours after the city's police chief quit following a damning U.S. Justice Department report into his force.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told reporters early on Thursday that a 41-year-old officer from his department was struck in the shoulder and a 32-year-old officer from the nearby Webster Groves Police Department was hit in the face about midnight as the crowd was starting to break up.

"These police officers were standing there and they were shot, just because they were police officers," Belmar said. "I have said all along that we cannot sustain this forever without problems."

How exactly is this DOJ's fault? I hold the shooter responsible.

Whe'll, didn't you mean to say when the DOJ investigated and published the facts? Or do you think they just made up the statistics?

Right! And the flap over SAE is an example of the media engaging in race baiting.

SAE? Pardon my ignorance, but; What do automotive standards have to do with Ferguson?

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a.k.a. SAE.

It's time to crush this rebellion of animal behavior with the iron fist such criminality demands.

National Guard?

Which will, of course, be reduced to policing in precisely the same demanded manner as the supposedly evil original police force.

The issue here is the population, not the means necessary to address their lawlessness.

"Kill 'em all!", eh Zeke?

Maybe we should soak their welfare checks with smallpox.
