Still sitting here quietly waiting for the Justice Department's report.

About a thousand pages of bureaucratic weasel words and empty rhetoric.

Should be a fascinating read.

Me too. I'm guessing the ultimate result will be the FPD gets replaced by the St.Louis county PD.

The FPD is required by the city charter, but it looks like a majority of the council would be willing to do that now(amend the charter).

Would that be the Cops that did this?

The St. Louis Police Officers Association is profoundly disappointed with the members of the St. Louis Rams football team who chose to ignore the mountains of evidence released from the St. Louis County Grand Jury this week and engage in a display that police officers around the nation found tasteless, offensive and inflammatory.

Five members of the Rams entered the field today exhibiting the "hands-up-don't-shoot" pose that has been adopted by protestors who accused Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson of murdering Michael Brown. The gesture has become synonymous with assertions that Michael Brown was innocent of any wrongdoing and attempting to surrender peacefully when Wilson, according to some now-discredited witnesses, gunned him down in cold blood.

Tom, that would be Roorda pushing for a fine, who is one of the biggis dicuss characters you would ever have the misfortune to meet. He is as dirty as a cop can be, and still be breathing, according to his former chiefs.

And he happens to be from Jefferson county, and is somewhat "friendly" with some of their denizens who use a lot of bleach. He was fired from the Jefferson County sheriff's department for first filing a false report, and then lying about his attempted FMLA/sick leave/illegal taping incident. In Webster's Dictionary, under entitlement, they should have a photo of Roorda if they want to stigmatize the word.


In his valiant run for Congress, one of the laws he proposed is banning the release of a cop's name in any criminal investigation until he was indicted. He also staunchly defended the undercover cops who confiscated scalpers' World SEeries tickets, and then used them to get family, friends, and others into the games for free. He is a prince.

If a system you believe to be deeply corrupt does not indict someone whom you do not trust.................

Would the Grand Jury's decision matter much to you?

I'm just sayin'......

I guess it would be a slight improvement. I read somewhere that Wilson flunked the SLCPD exam or something like that.
