Once again caught out by your absurdly pretentious efforts at sounding erudite.

The bolded above means that you wish an injustice had occurred. Somehow, I don't think you meant that.

How about that DOJ federal lawsuit against the FPD?

I'm walking around with casts on my wrists today. Sprained both of them patting myself on the back too much yesterday.

And yet I do wish actual injustice had occurred, if you call cold dish revenge injustice.

The perpetrators of the idea that Wilson did anything wrong deserve retribution. They are the problem, not his actions.

If they didn't plead from the manufactured metaphorical Mecca of their own entitlement, there'd be no need to foster reality in their midst.

Sum? Get a job or accept your fate. Nobody causes it but you.

As for anyone desperately patting themselves on the back about a DOJ lawsuit? Try winning it. I seem to recall Wilson's actions being reviewed, too... That went nowhere.

You don't understand what "winning" the lawsuit actually is, Zeke.

On some lawsuits, you need to look at the parties that file the lawsuit(s), and the other parties that co-file, or file a separate similar suit. In most civil rights cases, the lawsuits are filed to encourage or gain change as the end result, what normal people call the settlement.

In the case of Ferguson, one of the parties filing suit is a lawyer from St. Louis University School of Law, with the University's permission. Another party to a similar suit is the United States Department of Justice. I can pull out tens of thousands of civil rights decisions with a few google searches. It is not too difficult, Zeke, but we know your previous profession does not allow you to see snowflakes and deduce that it might soon be snowing, nor to see patterns of police behaviour and deduce they are wrongful in part and in whole.

The settlement, if it goes against Ferguson, will radically change the way the Police Department and municipal court do business. If they are forced to incorporate all of the changes(which they will be enjoined to do), it will significantly increase the cost of their policing efforts while at the same time it will significantly reduce their revenues from their municipal courts.

In light of a similar prospectus, their neighboring community of Jennings opted to unilaterally and immediately abolish their police department. You might remember Jennings - that was the only police job that Wilson did not quit in his career. It was one of his two positions where he received a termination letter.
