St Louis police murder scandal (PLUS: riots, idiotic press conferences, etc.)

[King]

Suburban cops are the absolute worst.

They sign up to go to war and then go crazy when they realize there aren't that many crimes in the quiet residential areas they police.

Obama speaking now, blamed both sides but emphasized the fault of the police. (Specifically calling them out for the peaceful protest attack and the journalist arrests).

Republican outrage will be to claim it's neither's fault, then?

Rand Paul has always been a horrible reverse-racist-black-sympathizer. He actually thinks voter suppression is more of a real issue than the fraud.

lol "military cuts"

I have no problem with "militarization" of police in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles where real violent crimes are committed and real terrorist targets exist. When you have a real job to do, there's no time for serious corruption and abuse.

The problem is these small towns and suburban police forces are given these tools with no legitimate use. "Let's call in the SWAT team for this because why not?"

St. Louis is home to the 3rd busiest inland port. They have been given advanced tactical military equipment to repeal and attack threats along the Miss. River.

This didn't happen in St. Louis. This happened in Ferguson.

The officer didn't know Brown was a robbery suspect when he stopped him.

Video of the convenience store has been released.

I enjoy the tweet to ABC by the guy who says "it's MH370 all over again."

The Internet has some terrific minds on it.

Replacing suburban police with national guard? It's a parade of wannabes.

[King]

For impoverished youth, some convenience store that someone else owns is not your backyard. For most of these people, their own backyard is not even their own backyard but some landlord's.

Physical violence of police clashes is more concerning. The looting is just a lot of insurance company paperwork.

I don't have the words...

Well, obviously it's not good, but the first priority should be to prevent violence than make sure the Walgreen's inventory isn't too badly damaged.

Wilson got hundreds of thousands of dollars... just for being... a n...

Wow really disrespectful in-out-of context post about SuperBowl champion Russell Wilson. IceSpear should be banned.

[King]

The St. Louis area PD really is every loser that got picked on high school with something to prove.

[King]

I would love for Darren Wilson to be a cold-blooded killer who set out to kill someone. The PD could fire him, the courts could convict him, and we could all go home.

The real problem here is that he's not.
