Just about all you need is a welder, brake, drill press, and shop press to start turning out AK-47s. :D

The Department of Justice has released a very detailed and interesting report on just what did go down between Wilson and Brown.

And the report by the same department on the closure of the Trayvon Martin investigation concluding that no civil charges are to be brought against Zimmerman.

Meanwhile, the same Department releases a report into policing in Ferguson:

Sorry I have to say it

It disgust me when a cop behave in a rotten way.

Doesn't make pleasant reading for law enforcement in the area.

Aye, that's the trouble when you get rotten eggs in a basket, makes the whole thing stink. Even if it's not representative of the whole basket, it still puts people off buying those eggs. :nope:

Thank goodness our men in blue are protecting us from the basketball player/pedophile threat. Do whatever it takes, boys! Falsely arrest them and walk all over their civil liberties, if you must!

:/\\!!

Pathetic. This is why people don't trust cops - many of them don't deserve it.

Yeah, experienced some of that first hand over the years :yep:

Aye, I figured you might well have. The UK police has had its own fair share of bad publicity, followed by restructuring and retraining, followed by another bit of bad publicity and so on and so forth.
Funny how it usually co-incises with government intentions, isn't it? :03:

Rgr that...very often the case, the tail trying to wag the dog :yep:

Well a police force is a microcosm of society and internal problems are a reflection of society as a whole. Some cops in the same squad may dislike each other or even fight each other like these guys http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nP5tX096BiY not really a fight but a good cop keeping a bad cop and an upset suspect under control.

I have only one "bad" encounter with the police once when I was on leave from the military and forgot that unlike Germany in Florida (and most states) having an open container of alcohol is illegal. So in this case one cop was a jerk the other was cool. I did not get in any trouble of course I watched my tounge.

The duty is supposed to be protect and serve and to uphold the law no matter who the person is.

Of course I can only say what I personally have experienced as true and unbiased.Of course I have heard things which I deem to be true from current or former LE about bad cops that would make me cautious. For example in school a friends father was a deputy he warned us in the next county that they very often planted illegal drugs even to avoid driving a certain roads.

Ok, the department hears the community on its complaints, does an extensive investigation, identifies problems and unacceptable behaviour in some of its personel resulting in dismissals, resignations and puts forward a working solution to address grievances of the community.

Communities response? They hold a protest to demonstrate that they are not satisfied with the resignations and then shoot two cops.

And then some people still ask why the police dont "pussy-foot" when dealing with certain people or communities.


"Before the shooting Thursday, some at the protest were chanting to show they weren't satisfied with the resignations of Jackson and City Manager John Shaw, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

In addition to Jackson, Ferguson's court clerk was fired last week and two police officers resigned. The judge who oversaw the court system also resigned, and the City Council on Tuesday agreed to a separation agreement with the city manager."

I think really that it's gone beyond the point of no return now. Although one should not tar a group of people for the action of a minority, it's clear that no matter what the local PD do there will be no satisfaction, and to be honest I suspect that only the closure and restructuring of the local PD will cause any acceptance, and perhaps might be the best solution.

They should send in the special forces.
I'm guessing people trust the army and they have the most control over their weapons.

I believe they sent in the Guard a while back, back when it was likely to flare up. I doubt they will at the moment since the protests themselves are getting smaller as time goes on.
