2 Police officers shot near Ferguson Police Department | FOX2now.com

You couldn't pay me enough to do that job. Not the way to fix a city's problems...

I hope the whole department walks and then people can find out what life is like when there are no police and no one answers 9-1-1.

These are cops, not brain surgeons.

Cops can be easily replaced. Besides, the county and state police can easily step in and patrol the area if there aren't city cops to do it. They've done it in plenty of other municipalities.

So let them walk. I'm so sure that other departments are just itching to hire ex-cops from Ferguson. You know, because they need the trouble.

You do realize that there isn't anywhere that's not regularly patrolled by cops except the most rural areas? so no, your Mad Max imaginary scenario isn't going to happen

What's that got to do with anything?

I wouldn't want to be a white cop anywhere...... You're not allowed to defend yourself against a threat if they happen to be black, even if it's justified.

gosh, who'd a thunk being a white tax collector in a poor black community would be dangerous?
