The Day Ferguson Cops Were Caught in a Bloody Lie

Yes.

What a heady mix of bigotry, ignorance, piss and fear. That's why my turds of a feather post is on +4.

Well, it got at least one thumb for making me laugh, a bobsal buddy thumb, your original thumb, and I think revelette or mr. Snood showed up for a post or two to talk about charity or something. Or maybe someone else got a laugh, who knows? I don't think anyone was thumbing that down though that was CLASSIC.

Official Police Story About Shooting Of 14-Year-Old Begins To Unravel

Police might've misrepresented the facts in an effort to cover themselves? Shocker. That's never happened before.

Glad to hear you're finally concerned about racism, even if it's only racism in the UK and it's not fuelled by compassion but a mix of Anglophobia, insecurity, inadequacy and ignorance.

Never mind that, here's a website you can donate to.

I know I've never heard of this before. Must be a typo.

Maybe you'd like to show me where any of that is punishable with a death sentence? My white privilege lets me know I'd be out on bond in at most 48 hours.

This how the cops in my town handle that situation:



We have good cops mostly here in Marble Falls.

No I don't think this is how it normally goes, that doesn't mean it never happens. Some of the video's you post just plain crap with no follow up as to what an investigation actually says. Oh wait, that's right you wouldn't believe the investigation anyways unless it said the cops were guilty. Does Mike Brown ring a bell?

The difference between us, is that I'm willing to admit that some of the cops are guilty of exactly what you claim they are, while you would never be willing to admit that some of them are innocent. You have a vendetta against the police and I really really hope you never have need of their services. What a blow to the ego having to call them for help, when you spend so much time damning them.

BS. All of it. I have never ever said either "all cops" or "most cops". You keep trying to turn it into an all or none proposition.

Miami cop investigated for jumping into vehicle with suspect

A 47-second video that shows a Miami police officer placing a handcuffed teen in the back of a patrol car, then jumping on top of him as the woman filming the scene has her camera knocked away, has landed the officer in hot water and prompted an internal affairs investigation.

Late Thursday night Miami police hadn’t named the officer. They hadn’t named the man in handcuffs or described the charges against him. And it was unclear who the woman was who took the video, who swatted the camera away from her, or why the officer jumped into the back of the patrol car on top of the man.

What was clear: The video was going viral, having received almost 80,000 views by 11 p.m. Thursday. And the actions of the officer were being investigated late into the evening.

“We have seen the video and we have launched a full Internal Affairs investigation into the matter,” said Miami Police Maj. Delrish Moss. “We take that responsibility very seriously. The officer involved in the incident will be relieved of duty as we investigate.”

The incident, which took place at about 5 p.m. inside the Liberty Square housing project, also caught the attention of police union president Javier Ortiz, who posted it on his Facebook page and released a statement.

“While the video may seem concerning to some, the FOP [Fraternal Order of Police] is confident that when everything is analyzed within the totality of the circumstances, it will be concluded that the police officer was doing what he is supposed to be doing: Protecting our community,” said Ortiz.

The release of the video comes at a particularly sensitive time for law enforcement. Video captured encounters between police and residents in New York, Cleveland, South Carolina and Baltimore over the past 13 months sparked major protests.

In at least three of those instances, a black man or child died during an altercation with a white police officer. In Miami Thursday, an unidentified black officer jumped into the patrol car with a black teen.

The Liberty Square video, which was originally posted on the Facebook page of a woman who says her name is Marilyn Smith, begins with officers standing around a dark car, then a black police officer escorts a young black man in tan long shorts and dark T-shirt into the back of a patrol car. At the 37-second mark, the officer appears to leap on top of the man through the back passenger door.

The officer can be clearly seen lying on the back seat, while the man in handcuffs is out of view. Then, as someone appears to swat away the woman’s phone camera, the picture goes fuzzy and she can be heard saying, “Don’t touch my phone baby, move.” Then the video ends.

Moss said the officer’s gun and badge will be taken away during the investigation, and he will be taken off the street.

“Internal Affairs is still working and taking statements,” Moss said late Thursday night.

Do you think I've never been pulled over or stopped by the police? Why answer the questions you pose as you already have your own bias?


The same answer bias applies here. As for my experience in the work place, I've worked in plenty of jobs where there were minorities. About the only place I did work where there was only 1 black guy, was in the construction field. I don't know why but there are not many blacks in construction in San Diego. Plenty of hispanics though. When I worked in call centers for 3 different major telecom companies there were plenty of all race's, hispanics, blacks, whites and asians. Many of my managers in these companies were minorities. I didn't encounter many middle eastern people until I got into higher end IT work, and lots and lots of programmers and development people are from either India or Pakistan. Sorry I keep destroying your perceptions of me. You have lived a much more "white" life than I have. I've actually struggled in my life and had to make my way in the world. This lilly white fantasy world you were brought up in wasn't the same one I was brought up in or even live in. Did I mention before that I was married to a woman for 18 years that was half white and half black, that my kids are then also part black? She encountered racism when she was growing up, but it wasn't from white people. It was from black people who didn't think she was black enough. The only fights she was ever in when she was younger were with black girls who didn't like her "light" skin and "white girl hair". Her father who was black, was an Officer in the Navy. So we can play this "racism" game all day long. As I've pointed out in the past, I think you and your ilk are the true racists.


The above is a perfect example of your bias in these questions.

You weren't shot regardless of whatever outrage you seem to have gotten away with. Thank your white privilege.

No my friend that is you. Look at how you attack those who don't bash the cops? I've asked questions of these video's and made comments about them and all I ever received from you is name calling and ridicule. I didn't agree with your perception so I was either stupid or some sort of racist. It's the way all you guys work. You and Izzy are like attack dogs with no stop command.

Okay, I'm sure that's what it was.

And yet there you are again yammering some form of ad hominem not even on topic. Says a lot more about you than it does Izzy or me.

You don't deny it. Thats a sign of improvement.

Aren't you the one who made the claim about all or nothing? I was just pointing out how you work the all or nothing response to things. You don't like your BS being pointed out?

You're not stupid because you disagree, you're stupid because you're incapable of seeing the link between charity and education, (amongst other things). It had to be explained to you, and even then I don't think you got it. That has nothing to do with politics.
