Anybody else, starting to sense the Ferguson Cop shooting might be excessive force ?

Mess with the bull you get the horns. He appeared to have something in his hand and kept coming toward an officer with his weapon drawn after being told to stop. Good shoot and good riddance.

I love the reporter. Did they have to shoot? If they knew the community better they would have know he had issues and wouldn't have shot him.

What the fuck is wrong with this country? The fucker had a knife and was approaching the cop with it while screaming shoot me. How the fuck is this news? How the fuck are the cops supposed to know the community so well that they know one person out of 30k people is crazy? Give me a fucking break, I have to stop watching this shit because it is just pissing me the fuck off.

He wanted to fight the police and brought a weapon, their weapons were obviously superior so he lost. I'm glad there weren't any innocent bystanders harmed and I hope the store got their energy drinks back.

A valuable lesson was learned by everyone else in attendance. Cops have guns and will use them if you threaten them. Don't threaten cops and they won't shoot you. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

No kidding. How close does the reporter want the guy to be before it's "dangerous"??? Has he ever seen a shanking? Stupid liberal arm chair quarterbacks who's toughest decision is white wine or red.

threatening someone who has a gun is hazardous to your health.

You got to wonder what would happen if the chief said fuck it, you guys are right and we are showing to much presence here. We are pulling all the police out of this area until the demonstrations stop so everyone can go on their merry way and do what they want.

No FD either, just the citizens to police and care for their community. If you need medical, there will be a designated area a few miles off to drop anyone needing medical attention. Here is some fire hoses just in case something catches on fire.

That could be a double edged sword for sure. How long would you let them be idiots for?

I haven't thought that far ahead. I can't remember who it was, but someone was raising hell about the police response and was asked how he would do it differently. The guy replied that he was glad that was not his responsibility. WTF? Hey hey your doing it all wrong, but oh shit I have no clue how to do it right.

There would be nothing left.

And they'd all be called racists for not helping. It's pretty clear that the local government can't handle the situation. Even their congressional representative Lacy Clay said so. Eric Holder is there overseeing everything, the mayor of St. Louis and the governor of Missouri are Democrats. It's in Rahm Emmanuel's back yard. I say let the federal government handle it.

I would say fence it up and forget about it but that would be the means to the end.

A small demilitarized zone?
