This shooting has happened AFTER the head cops have stepped down. It is entirely inappropriate and defending such a vile thing is ludicrous.
A BIG +1!

Matteo's, there were kids and members of the Canfield Bloods who saw parts of Brown's confrontation, or the four hour aftermath, and vowed reprisals. This shooting is no surprise.

Compared to the way your Hitleresque buddy Zeke is coming at it from the other side, I'd say I'm soft shoeing it.

But maybe you have a point about the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. That may not be a good analogy, but it was the first one that came to mind.

So I'll revise it and say that this was like a black Dude, or Dudes, shooting a couple of armed Klansman.

Now of course that would be illegal, but I would say there wer extenuating circumstances.

So if I were on the jury of a trial like that, the best they would ever be able to get would be 11-1 for a conviction. I don't care if I had to keep them in deliberation until Hell froze over.

FOX & Friends @foxandfriends Follow
New #Ferguson violence comes just one week after AG Holder vowed to dismantle the city's PD. Is this what he meant?

Whoever the idiots were who fired the shots at the officers did a horrible disservice to African American community in Ferguson. Action was being taken at the highest levels to address the issues with the FPD, but this senseless shooting gives ammunition to those saying that the citizens of Ferguson deserve a police state.

DRay, they already have a police state. It doesn't help that every Tom, Dick, and Harry in Ferguson has a gun.

The bad thing is Jennings, Ferguson, Kinloch, pine Lawn, Ville, Wellston, Normandy, and other near north side municipalities have been so Balkanized for so long that they can't change without massive outside help. At the same time, their governments and police forces are so corrupt that they won't allow any change.

Those were exactly my thoughts when I heard about the shooting.

FWIW, the OP's sentiment may have come from some fine reporting on Fox & Friends this morning.
