The DOJ has nothing to do with this shooting. It was likely the act of person(s) looking to take advantage of the crowd in order to fulfill personal agenda.

What is clear from this thread, however, is that the same people who couldn't wait to hear all of the negative things about Michael Brown simply refuse to believe or accept that lawlessness exists at many levels and in many systems.
It is interwoven into the fabric of far too many organizations and has been for years.

It does no one any good to cover it up because some may find the truth offensive and/or a slap to the face of "the way things have always been."

I've no doubt that the fears of many have been realized. All those skeletons in the closet finally seeing the light of day.
But of course, it's all someone else's fault that there was something there to find.
It looks like you didn't read the DOJ's report either.

Additionally, when the DOJ essentially lies and says, "Yes, the FPD is racially biased and out of control", it's going to stir the pot and inflame people.

If you were to do a direct comparison of the FPD and the DOJ, the Holder's DOJ might as well be wearing white robes.

Holder is responsible for someone screaming "fire"

3 shots from 500 feet away, on a hill, in the dark and 2 hit the officer? This was done by someone with sniper/rifle training.

Fascinating.

When Sen. Giffords was shot, many of the same people now accusing the DOJ, etc. of instigation swore up and down and sideways that NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING that anyone said could be held responsible for the actions of that gunman.

Y'all are simply too disgusting for words.

Then you know the country is turned upside down.
Oh, so now you don't believe in the 1st Amendment?


But those college kids at OU at a-okay, right?

you are utterly wrong.

there was no "couldnt wait to see negative things about MB."

There was however many of us saying lets wait to see how this plays out. Fact is, when the truth came out, really bad stuff came out about MB.

Holder and Obama BOTH fueled the fires of ferguson. Obama met a dozen times with that race baiting hate-monger Sharpton DURING the period when Sharpton was fanning the flames.

Obama sent more officials to Browns funeral than he did to a decorated Generals funeral. A man who was KILLED in Afghanistan.

add to that the fact that these "protests" have been PAID FOR by liberal organizations controlled by George Soros (a close Obama ally)

what you get is policemen who are dead (two in NYC) and Policemen who have been shot in Ferguson.

still at it? what was proven about Giffords attacker was he was a left-wing nutjob.


YOU PEOPLE accused conservatives of causing it. YOU PEOPLE said the guy was a conservative, but his own writings proved he was leftwing.


we didnt say that nothing anyone could say could make it happen. What we said was a liberal nutjob shot giffords. dont blame conservatives for it. conservatives didnt have a role in the drama.

I didn't say you had to be racist to fall in the category.


A person could be blindly partisan, ignorant or stupid and fall into that category as well.

That's the problem. When an innocent cop gets killed in the line of duty, it's all victim-support. When an innocent civilian gets killed, it's all victim-blaming. You can't expect to be taken seriously when you're upset about one set of innocents and not the other.
Yep yep.



And people are only focusing on the killings. They forget about all of the other ways the Police can negatively influence someone's life.


I'm just sitting back. These people are making themselves look like dumbasses. Gonna let em keep on.

LOL. We're not the ones claiming that getting a ticket for driving without a license is racist.
