Sith- That is interesting but what are there parallels between the two shootings? Was the white guy obviously armed while supposedly the Ferguson one had no weapon on his body? I mean if the circumstances are not comparable it is not a valid point IMO. You can not compare apples to oranges as they say so it, again IMO, needs to be pretty similar in both scenarios to be a valid comparison. Just asking not arguing.

Roger those stupid cop shows are edited and only the most bizarre ones even make air. Not only that but they have had to change what they show because they got so many complaints about the number of minorities that were being shown. Just an FYI.

As to innocent until proven guilty you can not even think about that until the suspect(s) are safely detained. When you are in what you perceive as the proverbial life and death scenario you are really hyped up and must make snap decisions. Unfortunately they are sometimes wrong. Now there is the problem of CYA during investigations, there is the tendency to cover your fellow, in this case, cop. It is a shame but it does happen. Just an FYI I am not nor ever been associated with police in any way except when I have gotten stopped, arrested, jailed, whatever |

Here are two interesting opposite view segments of Ferguson -

Living in/near New York City, over the years you see the whole gamut of situations. If you are honest and objective, no prejudice or preconception you might have -- either way -- can survive.
A big problem is that district attorneys are police colleagues in law enforcement. What does it mean a Grand Jury does not indict? They usually do as the DA wants. Injustice has resulted. But there has been progress. OTOH, Not long ago an officer in the town next to mine was killed with his own gun by an "unarmed" man. He thought he was intervening, on the street, in a man/woman dispute. Did he know he was going into a life or death struggle? What would the reaction be if he pulled his gun before getting close? "If your hit her again, I'll shoot you." Or just fired before there was any contact?

The two most dangerous calls or incidents for police are: 1) a traffic stop; and 2) a domestic disturbance call.

Something has gone terribly wrong when law abiding citizens fear the police. Protect and serve? I don't feel protected or served, I feel bullied and intimidated. It's like they have an adversarial relationship with the public.
Why is it they don't give each other speeding tickets? We shouldn't tolerate that. And what is this omerta they operate under? At my job if someone does something wrong I have no choice but to cooperate with the owners and nobody is going to fault me for doing so. We shouldn't tolerate this "professional courtesy" they give each other. |
