You want help from JJIII? Or maybe Lucy, which makes a lot more sense.

You've got a serious case Pete.

It would take some "Old School" treatment to fix you.

LMAO! Thanks Tom, I didn't know you cared.

I can't help it though, there's been a shortage of lsd hereabouts lately and I'm feeling off.

In another Ferguson moment, last night the St. Louis City Council had a meeting seeking citizen feedback regarding establishment of a citizen's review board, and predictably a riot almost broke out.

The business agent for the city PD, bless his tender heart, wore an "I am Dennis Wilson" wristband, which was enormously popular with most attendees.

Despite police opposition, it looks like a done deal.

Officer Roorda is some police manager!

Jeff Roorda, a police union official, said on Thursday that St. Louis police officers will quit the department or do only the bare minimum on patrol if the city creates the kind of civilian oversight board currently being proposed.

“They’d answer their calls when they got them, but as far as interrupting criminal behavior on their own, why in the world would they do that when their employers aren’t even supporting them?” Roorda said.

“They would be incredibly reluctant to do their jobs,” he said, “and St. Louis would be a much more dangerous place than it is now. Nobody wants to be the next Darren Wilson.”

Darren Wilson has 100% respect and backing from his fellow officers! Darren Wilson faces no criminal charges, and thus has been PROVEN INNOCENT! Darren Wilson has been gifted with money and economic opportunity! Officers everywhere display tokens that proclaim "I am Darren Wilson!

Darren Wilson is GOLDEN! Why would anyone not want to be Darren Wilson?

But assuming one none-the-less hates the thought of being a 'Darren Wilson,' how the heck is a civilian review board, or an so-called 'unsupportive employer,' going to cause anyone to be one?

Are these entities going to shoot an unarmed black guy, then put the gun in your hand?

Undisguised blackmail without pretense. "If you dare to make us accountable to the people we're sworn to protect, you'll b3e very, very sorry."

Fire 'em all.

Works for me. Document a slowdown, and the employee is history.

Please note the quality of Roorda's character. He was suspended from, and repraminded while employed as a police officer in Jefferson County for filing a false police report. When he came back, he attempted to coerce the police department to give him paid FMLA for his wife's delivery of their kid, for which he was fired from the force. When he appealed his dismissal, the appellate judge didn't merely dismiss his case as lacking merit, but went to the extreme of analyzing every single point of his case, and cited multiple reasons for dismissing all points of his appeal with prejudice.

He is a person without a mute button, nor does he involve any nuanced analysis before he opens his yap. He is the business agent for the majority of the old guard white police officers for St. Louis city. Even though St. Louis city has about 160,000 blacks amongst its 300,000 total population, not a single black police officer serves on the official police department union board. Coincidence?

There also is a black police officers association for the city PD, which also is currently going through a great deal of turmoil.

When the Rams football team receivers came out with their hands in the air, the black police officers' association, the Ethical Society, CAME OUT IN SUPPORT of the demonstration. Interesting, to say the least.

However, though they may be more enlightened regarding police practices regarding executions, they still have bad boys on their side. Most recently, their savings account has been looted by one of their board members.

There is a substantial reason why both St. Louis City and County PDs have violently opposed to body cams and car cams, as well as citizen review boards.
