Looting in Missouri after cops shoot 18 year old (5 Viewers)

[Lutherman2112]

I hope everything going on down there today is being filmed, and I hope more journalists are drawn to Ferguson. The chief of police, or whoever is making these idiotic decisions, can go live in China. He'll find their attitude toward transparency and freedom of the press more to his liking.

Yeah it's like if someone did something stupid on the internet, then tried to remove it without considering people took a screen grab of it.

You can't hide this type of abuse by cracking down or trying a blackout, technology beats that in 2014.

So starved for attention with all these desperate look at me attempts in this thread. OK OK, I'll pet the yapping puppy.

Yes I looked into a fundly page, however... it quite obviously wasn't ever released. Why? Because we successfully raised the necessary $15k thanks to our generous sponsors. Booth was the biggest in fest history, Tipsy fed an army and got plenty of media coverage, and thousands of people dropped in and had a blast. We'd also like to welcome fellow FBGer sbonomo and his brother to the squad for next year. Great guys.

Thanks for checking on to make sure everything went smoothly though. It IS nice to know my sig is so far under your skin that it's evoked this sort of tantrum here and :e:lsewhere.

That's not good.

Yeah, that really doesn't help anything.

I'm embarrassed to be an American today.

Let me say I love my country, am totally proud of who we are, what we've done, what we are doing each and every day.

However.

This has been truly embarrassing to us. Video of peacfule protestors being teargassed, media being arrested, cops in surplus army gear basically looking like national police, for 5 days, images that could have been from Selma 1962 or Plaquemines Parish 1960's, this is what is being shown on Russia Today, European broadcasts, Chinese national tv, the mideast, you name it.

All this while we are objecting to Russia in Ukraine, and making declarations about democracy and human rights in the mideast. Putin must be loving this, our enemies can't pay for this kind of negative pr. They don't know what Ferguson is, to them this is all "USA".

All because of these jackwagon small town s. It's like you have a 3rd cousin with your last name who is named in the papers and everyone sees it all around town for some terrible crime. You try to explain, that's not "us", that's not what we're about, but to others it's just blahblahblah. It is actually literally embarrassing.

The state of Missouri needs to take over this police force now.

I think the DOJ is going to sort that out. They better get in there for everyone's sake.

Neither option is good.

It is a shame that what a few bad policemen do will be projected as if this is happening in police forces everywhere. The type of sterotyping that is being done is the exact same stereotyping that they are fighting against. This is a rare occurance.

I can't remember the last time anon released bad info.

Edit: Not saying it's not wrong, just that I can't remember.

Tons of evidence, both statistical and anecdotal (three innocent black men killed by cops in the last month!), first-person testimony and common sense says otherwise.

Who is being exposed as hypocritical? Lots of us are critical of foreign governments when they engage in this kind of stuff and are similarly critical of what's happening with the Ferguson police.

Based on what I've heard and seen I'm impressed at the level of restraint shown by the citizens of Ferguson thus far. I'm pretty pissed at the cops there and I'm a thousand miles away.

Agreed 10000% that the cops are way the hell out of line... even if a few bad apples on the citizens side aren't helping matters with looting and vandalism.

Here in Minneapolis, I'd say 80% of the time I see a police officer dealing with a civilian, it is a black male. And I live in a very yuppy neighborhood. Can't tell me there isn't some kind of targetting there, intentional or not.

 

[Slapdash]

Violent crime rate in 2012

Ferguson 217.3
U.S. Average 214.0
The link, with further data, is here. Property crime in Ferguson has been much higher than the national average, in one year (2004) violent crime in Ferguson was lower than the national average. An index for all crimes in Ferguson has fallen by about 25% since 2000.

80% seems made up. Also, if it isn’t intentional, I don’t understand how it can be classified as targeting? You can’t accidently target a group.

Racist cops have been an issue for years. Why don’t we ever hear anything from black cops? Are they just considered Uncle Toms?

Look, I'm already throwing out anecdotal evidence, never presented this as a scientific study. Should I have kept a notebook and cataloged every police interaction I've seen in my neighborhood over the last 5 years?

You don't think someone can end up focusing on one group of people because of subconscious beliefs? I'm trying to say most police probably wouldn't admit to any amount of racism, but their actions say otherwise to an outside observer.
