Lets see, Officer with a perfect record and no complaints, vs. a local thug (Gentle giant my A) who just got done assaulting a store clerk on video minutes before the shooting incident. Those that accept and defend the Michael Browns of their community get what they deserve- Anarchy and Lawlessness. Find a more sympathetic victim to defend and maybe the majority will side with you.
justice and sympathy are not connected, nor does past record save Wilson if this one time, he failed to follow procedure..to the letter.
You don't know history. That town is where 3 civil rights workers were killed, with their pd decades later indicted, murdered for registering people to vote..stuff our vets died for.
In what other profession do employees have people trying to kill them?
And in what other profession do the employees - whose lives are being threatened - have miliseconds to make life/death decisions?
None that come to mind.
I was shot at twice when I was working repo's for a bank in my early twenties. One guy was a prominent dentist in Potomac MD who apparently didn't feel he needed to make any payments on his Porsche 928, and the other was some thug in SE D.C. who had a pimped out Chevy Astro van.
Not a fun thing to have happen.
I also worked for Chevy Chase Bank in the eighties, an employee snapped and killed 2 of my co-workers and seriously wounded a third. They were my friends. I would have been in the same lunchroom with them had I not gone outside to mail my phone bill. Since I was a medic in the Army (reserve at the time) I had to provide 1st responder aid until police could clear the building. It was a tough, tough day. I think about it often.
The shooter was mentally unstable, recently released from a mental institution, lied on the pistol permit and came in to kill as many as he could. Tsegay was his name as I recall.
I'm quite familiar with being shot at and dealing with the aftermath. Cops aren't the only targets.
The killer cop still roams free, a grand jury is still "investigating," the police chief puts a half-baked apology to the victim's family on a video instead of meeting them in person, the town's "finest" wore bracelets supporting their homicidal colleague (until a Justice Department order came down), and you "cannot believe this is still going on."
No murder. Pretty simple for people with a brain & an ounce of decency. Don't be a punk. Don't attack police officers. Don't get killed. I hope punks everywhere took notice.
In the video Driller1 posted; when the spokesperson was asked if the shooting had anything to do with the "protesters", the spokesperson, said no.
So, it does not matter about either, proper grammar or the protesters' education.
They are both unrelated to the shooting.
There were many videos.
